6.After verifying that the change was successful, issue the arp –d command at the DOS prompt. For example:

arp –d 10.13.170.15 removes 10.13.170.15 from the ARP table

or

arp –dremoves all static IP addresses from the ARP table.

Configuring the IPL M PDP-ES using direct PC connection

This type of connection is used to initially connect to and configure the IPL M PDP-ES interface card. You must change the card’s default settings (IP address, Subnet mask, and [optional] administrator password) in order to use the IPL M PDP-ES on an intranet (LAN) or on the Internet (WAN).

1.Plug one end of a Cat 5, crossover Ethernet cable into the LAN connector of the IPL M PDP-ES interface card. Refer to figure 2-7 for RJ-45 connector wiring.

2.Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port on your PC.

3.Right click on the Network Neighborhood or My Network Places icon on your Windows (98, 2000, NT, ME, or XP) desktop, and select Properties from the menu.

4.Right click Local Area Connection and select Properties from the menu.

5.Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) from the list and click on Properties again.

If Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is not on the list, it must be added (installed). Refer to your Windows user’s manual or the online Help system for information on how to install the TCP/IP protocol.

6.Write down your current IP address and Subnet Mask below. If your PC is set to “Obtain an IP address automatically,” make a note of that, instead.

IP Address:

. . .

Subnet Mask:

. . .

7.Click on “Specify an IP address” or “Use the following IP address” (depending on your operating system), and leave the default gateway blank. Enter the following values:

IP address:

192.168.254.253

Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0

8.Save the changes and exit the Network setup. Reboot the PC, if required, for the changes to become effective.

9.Launch your Web browser (Internet Explorer), and type “http://192.168.254.254/” in the address box. The IPL M PDP-ES default Web page is displayed. Refer to Navigating the default Web pages, later in this chapter, for information on configuring your unit.

10.After configuring your IPL M PDP-ES, repeat steps 3 and 4, and change your TCP/IP settings back to their original configuration.

Configuring the IPL M PDP-ES using the RS-232 port

Using a straight cable, this type of connection can be used to initially connect to and configure the IPL M PDP-ES interface card.

1.Plug one end of a straight cable to the RS-232 port of the IPL M PDP-ES interface card and the other end to a PC. Refer to figure 2-8 for pin assignments.

2.Obtain a valid IP address for your IPL M PDP-ES card from your network administrator.

3.Run a communication program (such as HyperTerminal or DataViewer) accessed through the COM port.

4.Perform a mode 2 reset. See Resetting the unit in chapter 2 for detailed information on the reset modes.

5.Use the Set IP address command to set the IP address. For example, enter

Esc 10.13.170.15 CI

The unit should respond with

Ipi • 10.13.170.15

Refer to Command/Response Table for Simple Instruction Set (SIS) Commands in chapter 4 for more detailed information regarding the SIS commands.

6.Launch your Web browser (Internet Explorer), and type “http://10.13.170.15” in the address box.

The IPL M PDP-ES default Web page is displayed. Refer to Communication with the Interface Card in chapter 4 for information on accessing the Web server.
