Introduction

CAUTION

The Ping￿of￿Lifeprocedure

The AST350i offers a unique method to supply an IP address to the AST350i's Ethernet port.

This method, the Ping￿of￿Life, allows to provide the AST350i with an IP address without affecting other configurational settings.

IP Addresses and Subnet Masks

Make sure that the intended AST350i IP address and your PC share the same IP (sub)network.

If not, the ping will be submitted with the MAC address of the default router instead of the special MAC group address.

Proceed as follows:

1.Turn off the AST350i.

2.Open a command￿line (DOS) window (Windows OS), or a terminal window (UNIX, Linux) on a PC.

3.At the command prompt execute: arp ±a

This allows you to overview the current entries in the ARP cache.

4.Add a static entry to the ARP cache, according to following syntax:

arp ±s <AST350i IP address> 01±90±D0±80±01±01

<AST350i IP address> is a placeholder for the IP address to be assigned to the AST350i. It can be any address within your subnet as long as it is not used by any other member of your local network.

5.To verify whether this step was successful execute arp ±a a second time.

In the entries list, your arp ±s command entry should be added.

6.Initiate a continuous pinging, by executing following command:

ping ±t <AST350i IP address>

7.Turn on the AST350i.
