ARP/PING
The assignment of the IP address to the hardware address can be
done via the ARP table. The ARP table is an internal system file in
which the assignment is temporarily saved (about 15 min). This table
is administered by the ARP protocol.
By means of the 'arp' and 'ping' commands, you can save the IP
address in the TPG. If the TPG already has an IP address, the 'arp' and
'ping' commands cannot be used to save a new IP address.
However, an IP address from the address range (169.254.0.0/16)
which is reserved for ZeroConf can be overwritten by means of the
'arp' and 'ping' commands.
The 'arp' command is used for editing the ARP table. The 'ping' com-
mand transfers a data packet containing the IP address to the hard-
ware address of the TPG. If the data packet has been successfully
sent and received, the TPG permanently saves the IP address.
The implementation of the 'arp' and 'ping' command depends on the
system used. Read the documentation for your operating system.

Edit the ARP table:
Syntax:
arp -s <IP address><hardware address>
Example:
arp -s 192.168.0.123 00-c0-eb-00-01-ff
Assign a new IP address to the TPG:
Syntax:
ping <IP address>
Example:
ping 192.168.0.123
The separators within the hardware address that are used in this example correspond
to the Windows platform.
