4. Setting the IP address using ARP / Ping
To set the IP address using ARP, connect the ethernet
connection to your network and apply power to iBoot. Using ARP
you use a computer to set the IP address. The IP address
assigned to iBoot must be use the same network segment as the
computer assigning the address. ARP does not work across
routed or switched networks.
To set the IP address using ARP, the hardware (MAC) address
must be known. This address is located on the bottom of the
unit. The syntax for the MAC address is: nn-nn-nn-nn-nn-nn
Windows (98 and Later)
1. Open a DOS window.
2. Type the following command:
arp -s <IP Address> <MAC Address>
Where <IP Address> is the desired IP address (in dotted
decimal) for the iBoot and the <MAC address> is the MAC
Address of the iBoot. The MAC Address of the iBoot is
located on bottom of the unit.
Example: arp -s 63.211.86.165 00-50-c2-05-01-c1 <enter>
|- new IP addr. --| |----- MAC addr. ----|
3.
Ping the iBoot to program the IP address into the iBoot.
Type:
ping <IP Address>
If the ping command returns “host not responding” 4 times
then the address has not been programmed properly, or the
IP or MAC Address is incorrect. In either case redo step 2.
If the problem persists, contact the Dataprobe Tech Support
Hot Line.
4. Delete the entry from the ARP cache by typing:
arp -d <IP Address>
5. Ping the iBoot to confirm that it has been programmed.
If the iBoot fails to respond, repeat steps 2-4 above. If the
problem persists contact the Dataprobe support hotline.
Unix, Linux, MAC and others
Consult your systems administrator for information on setting an
IP Address. The unit should be pinged after the IP Address has
been set to confirm proper operation.
