The next step is to change the IP address of the Ethernet DataStick. Follow the procedure
below to accomplish this.
When an Ethernet DataStick is connected to a network with a DHCP server we
recommend that the candidate address be chosen so that it’s below the range of IP
addresses controlled by the DHCP server. This will avoid potential conflicts between the
Ethernet DataStick and any devices that might be added to the network at a later time.
Before settling on the candidate address for the Ethernet DataStick, use the ping utility to
verify that there is not already a device at that address. Figure 38 shows the output of the
ping
command that was run on a computer connected to the network to which the
Ethernet DataStick will be connected.

ping
command.
