Digi MIL-3000FTX manual Setting IP Address with Windows 95, 98, and NT

2.4 Setting IP Address with Windows 95, 98, and NT

Using ARP or telnet on a Windows systems only works if there is a TCP/IP stack on the system and if FastPort is on the same subnet as the system. Disable DHCP before installation.

1.Enter the MS-DOS prompt.

2.Ping a known machine on the network (required).

3.Set the static ARP entry with the following command:

arp -s x.x.x.x 00-40-C8-yy-yy-yy and press [return]

Where x.x.x.x is the IP address to assign for FastPort, and yy-yy-yyis the last 6 digits of the hardware address.

4.Type: arp -aand press [return]. Two entries should be listed: one for the host that was pinged and one for the FastPort just entered.

5.Make a telnet connection to maintenance port 2002. Type telnet alpha 2002. If a connection is successful:

Connected to 204.23.13.4

Escape character is ^]

Vers. 6.0.18 Datecode 10/23/98

Type “S” to see status

Type “!” to enter monitor

6.At the menu option, Press [I] and then press [return].

7.Press [Y] (for yes) when asked to confirm the modification. This address is now stored in the device’s NVRAM.

8.Reboot the device by pressing [R].

2.5Setting the IP Address Using RARP

1.RARP queries a server for their IP addresses at start-up. Find the Ethernet address of FastPort.

2.Add the address to /etc/ethers, or add it to NIS/YP master Ethers database. If a device named “alpha” has address: “0040C802ABCD,” then put in entry: 00:40:C8:02:ab:cd alpha.

3.Add the IP address and the hostname to the /etc/hosts.

4.After using NIS for the hosts/ethers, rebuild the database: a. Enter the “YP” directory.
