2.9 Setting temporary IP address using
the MAC address
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 command 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
2.8
Network configuration 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.
2.10 Troubleshooting
If the status LEDs (B) stay dark check the PoE power
cabling (installation step 1).
Check if the green LINK LED (F) is lit, if it is not then
check your network cabling (network port E).
Note: Acquiring an IP address can take up to 5
minutes.
