Configuring Using ICMP PING
Using ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) you can assign a temporary IP address, which is
lost if the device is reseted. After the temporary IP address is given, the Telnet connection can be
used to store the parameters permanently. The temporary address can be assigned as follows (for
example in the Windows Command Prompt):
1. Make a manual addition to the host’s ARP-cache:
arp -s inet_adr mac_adr
where inet_adr
is the intended IP address and mac_adr is the Ethernet address of the ESERV-10
for example:
arp -s 172.16.8.10 00-06-70-00-01-01
Note:
In Windows 2000 you might require administrator user rights in order to make the ARP
changes
2. Ping the ESERV-10 with exactly 102 bytes of data:
ping –l 102 inet_adr
for example:
ping –l 102 172.16.8.10
3. When you get a reply from ESERV-10 it has got the temporary IP address.
4. Use the Telnet configuration or the Viola Configurator to store the parameters permanently
for example:
telnet 172.16.8.10 8001
ESERV-10
