Axis Communications 700 user manual IbXl u cg69, IP address and verify the communication

24 gywPuXu AXIS 700 User’s Manual

i	In UNIX and OS/2, type the following commands to download the
ibXl u cg69	IP address and verify the communication:

arp -s <host name> <Ethernet or node address> temp ping <host name>

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

Example:

arp -s spserv 00:40:8c:11:00:86 temp ping spserv

The host will return ‘spserv is alive’ or a similar message. This indicates that the address has been set and that communication is established.

vο The arp -scommand may vary between different systems. Some BSD-type systems expect the host name and Ethernet address in reverse order. IBM AIX systems require the additional argument

ether for Ethernet networks, e.g. arp -s ether spserv

00:40:8c:11:00:86 temp

οOnce the AXIS 700 has established communications using an appropriate IP address, the arp/ping commands can be used to change the address only for 30 minutes. From then on it is locked until you restart your AXIS 700. The reason is to avoid accidental or unauthorized change of the IP address. Restart the AXIS 700 to make it accept the setting. 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.
