In Windows 95/98 and Windows NT, you can download the IP

kaddress using ARP. Perform the following commands to download the IP address and verify the communication.

From the DOS prompt, type the following:

arp -s <IP address> <Ethernet address> ping <IP address>

The Ethernet address equals the serial number of the AXIS 700 with each pair of digits separated by a hyphen.

Example:

 

 

arp -s 172.16.253.80 00-40-8c-11-00-86

 

 

ping 172.16.253.80

 

 

 

 

The host will return ‘Reply from 172.19.2.254...’ or a similar

 

message. This indicates that the address has been set and that the

 

communication is established.

q!

ο Windows 95 only: If the ARP table is empty, you must first ping

 

 

an existing unit on your network before setting the IP address of

 

 

your AXIS 700. Type arp -ato display the ARP table.

vο Once the AXIS 700 has established communication using an appropriate IP address, the arp/ping commands can be used to change the IP address only for 30 minutes. From then on it is locked until you restart your AXIS 700. The reason for this is to avoid accidental or unauthorized changes of the IP address. Restart the AXIS 700 to make it accept the setting of the IP address. You can perform a restart remotely via the AXIS 700 web interface. See “Specifying System Settings ”on page 46.

οWhen you execute the ping command for the first time, the response time may be significantly longer than usual.
