Quick Start

The easiest way to configure the IC200SET001 VMSE is over Ethernet. The following steps need to be done, in the order listed, to configure the VMSE.

Preliminary Step

Connect the VSME to the Ethernet network.

Default IP Address

The VMSE is shipped with a default IP address of 0.0.0.0, which automatically enables the DHCP within the VMSE.

NOTE: Using the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) command (see below) you can always override the IP address given to the VMSE by your DHCP server.

Procedure: Assigning a New IP Address

Use the following steps to assign an IP address over the network. All of the following are done from the MS-DOSprompt of your personal computer. The actual numbers and letters you must type are shown in bold type. This data is not case-sensitive. You can access the MS-DOS prompt from your computer’s Start/Programs submenu. For ease of reading on the printed page, many of the screen images shown in the figures in this manual have been converted from their normal white letters on a black background to black letters on a white background.

In the example shown in this section, the IP Address 3.16.27.44 will be assigned to the VMSE.

The MAC address of the VMSE is required for assigning an IP address. Use the MAC address that is printed on the side of your VMSE, which is of the format 00- 20-xx-xx-xx-xx. For this example, the MAC address 00-20-4A-51-0E-5B will be used.

A.Type ping (any valid IP address on your network) at the MS-DOS prompt, and then press the Enter key. (This step is required to “establish” the ARP table by creating an entry in the table.) The address pinged should reply as shown in the example in the next figure. In this example, the command and valid IP address was typed as follows:

ping 3.16.16.14
