NPort 5200 Series User’s Manual
Initial IP Address Configuration
3-3
Take the following steps to use ARP to configure the IP address:
1.
Obtain a valid IP address for your NPort 5200 from your network administrator.
2.
Obtain NPort 5200’s MAC address from the label on its bottom panel.
3.
Execute the ‘arp -s’ command from your computer’s MS-DOS prompt by typing:
arp -s 192.168.200.100 00-90-E8-xx-xx-xx
This is where 192.168.200.100 is the new IP address and 00-90-E8-xx-xx-xx is the MAC
address for your NPort 5200. (Be sure to use the actual IP address and MAC address for your
NPort 5200.)
4.
Next, execute a special Telnet command by typing:
telnet 192.168.200.100 6000
After issuing this command, a
Connect failed
message will appear, as shown here. After the
NPort 5200 reboots, its IP address will be updated to the new address, and you can reconnect
using either Telnet, Web, or Administrator to check that the update was successful.
Telnet Console
Depending on how your computer and network are configured, you may find it convenient to use
network access to set up your NPort 5200’s IP address. This can be done using Telnet.
