  Setting temporary IP address 
using ARP command

This procedure will work only in a local network.
After this procedure the temporary IP will be active
only until restart/reboot. After a restart the procedure
has to be repeated.

STEP 1

Either use a network cable to link the Exstreamer and
the PC directly, or connect the Exstreamer  to the PC
via your network switch and power the device. Make
sure that you have a valid static IP address configured on
your PC (e.g. 192.168.0.2)

STEP 2

Windows : For a command window. click on «Start», click
on «Run..», in the «Open» field type cmd , click on «OK».
OSX / Linux : Open a terminal window.

STEP 3

Please proceed to step 4 if you linked the PC directly to
the device in step 1. To ensure that you use a free IP 
address (not already used by another device in the network) 
please use the Ping command. To verify availability in 
this example we assume the PC to have the IP address 
«192.168.0.2» and want to check if «192.168.0.6» is free. 
Type 

ping 192.168.0.6

 and hit the «Enter» key. You 

should get no reply which gives you reasonable assertion 
that the «pinged» IP is available.

STEP 4

Look for the Exstreamer’s MAC address printed on a
label on the bottom of the device (12 hex digits, separated 
by a hyphen every 2 digits). Type into the windows com-
mand window 

arp -s 192.168.0.6 00-08-E1-00-B1-77 

or on a OSX or Linux system type into the terminal  

arp -s

 

192.168.0.6 00:08:E1:00:B1:77

 

and hit the «Enter» key (replace the digits according to your 
devices MAC address). You must have administrative rights 
to be able to do so (sudo on OSX / Linux).

STEP 5

Now we have to make the Exstreamer listen to the IP
address «192.168.0.6» using the Telnet command. To do so 
type into the command window 

telnet 192.168.0.6 1

and hit the «Enter» key (the number «one» must be there 
for this command to work correctly !!!). The Exstreamer will 
immediately refuse the connection on port 1, but will be 
available for browser access as long as the device stays 
powered.

STEP 6

To check if the Exstreamer is responding you can use
the ping command again. To do so type 

ping 192.168.0.6

 

and hit the «Enter» key. If you do get a reply the IP address 
192.168.0.6 can be used to access the Exstreamer using a 
web browser. Please go back to section «2 Network configura-
tion by web browser» to configure  a static IP address. If you do 
get «request timed out» then please repeat step 5 carefully (you 
most likely mistyped the telnet command) or repeat the entire 
procedure. If the ARP method does not work for you, refer to 
the user manual for further methods.

Troubleshooting 

•  If the status LEDs (D) stay dark check the power

cabling (installation step 3).

•  Check if the green LINK LED (G) is lit, if it is not then

check your network cabling (network port F)

•  If you have doubts about the current device settings 

you can revert the device to its factory defaults by 
pressing the Reset button (A) until the red status LED
(D) blinks rapidly (takes about 10 seconds). The device
will reboot once the button is released.
