Alternatives for IP address assignment
In case IP addresses cannot be assigned using DHCP or the Wutility Tool, the Web
IO offers two further options:
Assigning the IP address using the ARP command
This method can be used when the
SIP Ring Switch
does not yet have an IP address
and the entry is 0.0.0.0. Another prerequisite is that the
SIP Ring Switch
and computer
are in the same network segment.
Read the Ethernet address of the SIP Ring Switch from the label at the side of the
housing:
xxx
Now use the following command line from the ARP table of the computer to enter a
static entry:
arp -s [IP address] [MAC address]
Example under Windows:
arp -s 10.40.72.15 00-C0-3-00-3F-A0
Example under SCO UNIX:
arp -s 10.40.72.15 00:C0:3D:00:3F:A0
Then start the Web browser and enter
http://<IP address>

In Windows environments IP addresses may only be entered without leading
zeros.
The SIP Ring Switch accepts the IP address of the first network packet sent to its
