iBoot
Page 10
Windows 3.11, 95 and NT
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. Windows 95 users see note below.
Example: arp -s 192.168.7.203 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
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
properly.
If the iBoot fails to respond, repeat steps 2-4 above. If the
problem persists contact the Dataprobe support hotline.
Note:
Windows 95 Users only.
Due to a bug in the Windows
95 version of ARP you must first have an empty ARP
table (seen with arp -a). To empty an arp table type arp
-d <ip address> for each entry in the arp table as seen
with arp -a. Ping an existing device on your network
before setting the IP Address of the iBoot. This device
must be a network device other then the one currently
being used.
Unix, Linux
Consult your systems administrator for information on setting an
IP Address using ARP. The unit should be pinged after the IP
Address has been set to confirm proper operation.
