Terminal Server User Guide, Version 3.3
You are now ready to configure the Terminal Server. See
Chapter 3,
Configuration Methods
on page
24
for information on the different Terminal Server configuration methods.
Using ARP-Ping
You can use the ARP-Ping (Address Resolution Protocol) method to temporarily assign an IP address
and connect to your Terminal Server to assign a permanent IP address. To use ARP-Ping to
temporarily assign an IP address:
1.
From a local UNIX/Linux host, type the following at the system command shell prompt:
arp -s a.b.c.d aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
On a Windows
®
98 or newer system, type the following at the command prompt:
arp -s a.b.c.d aa-bb-cc-dd-ee-ff
(where
a.b.c.d
is the IPv4 address you want to temporarily assign to the Terminal Server, and
aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
is the Ethernet (MAC) address of Terminal Server (found on the back of
the unit).
2.
Whether you use UNIX or Windows
®
, you are now ready to ping to the Terminal Server. Here is
a UNIX example of the sequence to use:
arp -s 192.168.209.8 00:80:d4:00:33:4e
ping 192.168.209.8
From the ping command issued in step 2, the Terminal Server will pickup and use the IP address
entered into the ARP table in step 1. You are now ready to configure the Terminal Server. See
Chapter 3,
Configuration Methods
on page 24
for information on the different Terminal Server
configuration methods.
For an IPv6 Network
The Terminal Server has a factory default link local IPv6 address that takes the following format:
Terminal Server MAC Address: 00-80-D4-AB-CD-EF
Link Local Address: fe80::0280:D4ff:feAB:CDEF
The Terminal Server will also listen for IPv6 router advertisements to learn a global address. You do
not need to configure an IPv4 address for a Terminal Server residing in an IPv6 network.
You are now ready to configure the Terminal Server. See
Chapter 3,

for information on the different Terminal Server configuration methods.
