Enter assigned gateway address, then press Enter at each item until set up menu is shown again.
Terminate Telnet session by typing 8 or 9.
8.2 PROGRAMMING IP ADDRESSES USING ARP AND TELNET ACCESS
Procedure described below is recommended for advanced users with understanding of operation
of networks.
NOTE:
The following IP addresses and MAC addresses are only examples; in your setup use the
desired IP addresses for the host machine and gateway address. The appropriate hardware MAC
address will be located on a label just above the SageNET module on the rear of the Sageon
Shield Standalone Battery Monitor.
8.2.1 Preparations for local address set up
•
From your network administrator obtain new IP address. Also ask for your network class.
•
Connect PC to the controller’s network interface (directly or via a network).
•
Power-up the controller
8.2.2 Local IP address set up procedure
The following section is excerpted from Lantronix "Embedded Integration Kit" Revision D
06/03/02, Part Number 900-226.
The unit’s IP address must be configured before a network connection is available. If the
unit has no IP address, you can use Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) method from
Windows-based systems to assign a temporary IP address. If you want to initially
configure the unit through the network, follow these steps:
1. On a Windows-based host, create an entry in the host's ARP table using the
intended
IP address and the hardware address (MAC address) of the unit, which is found on the
rear of the unit.
arp -s 191.12.3.77 00-20-4A-xx-xx-xx
Notes:
i.
The IP address used here is an example and a value within the range of
allowable IP addresses in your network may need to be used. The DOS command
ipconfig with display the IP address of the
Windows-based host machine.
ii.
The ARP table on the PC must have at least one IP address defined other than its
own.
2. Type
ARP –a
at the DOS command prompt to verify that there is at least one entry in
the ARP table. If the local machine is the only entry, ping another IP address on your
network to build a new entry in the ARP table; the IP address must be a host other than
the machine on which you are working. Once there is at least one additional entry in the
ARP table, use the following command to ARP an IP address to the unit:
arp -s 192.168.0.97 00-20-4a-xx-xx-xx
3. Open a Telnet connection to port 1. The connection will fail quickly, but the unit will
temporarily change its IP address to the one designated in this step.
telnet 192.168.0.97 1
