Digi MIL-4511H manual Setting the IP Address with Telnet, Alpha, Arp -s ether alpha 040c80012B

Install Guide

Setting the IP Address with Telnet

The following only works if the MIL-4511H is on the same subnet as the host from which you want to telnet. In this example, you are to add a MIL-4511H called alpha with an IP address 192.185.2.3 and an Ethernet address of 0040c800012B.

To set the IP Address using Telnet:

1.Use a text editor to open the /etc/hosts file.

2.Add the following line and save the file:

192.185.2.3 alpha

3.Use this to set the static ARP entry for a host on the same subnet as the 4511H: arp -s alpha 00:40:c8:00:01:2B

4.Set the rear panel DIP switches D2 up and D1 down and power cycle the unit.

5.Make a telnet connection to maintenance port 2002:

telnet alpha 2002, or connect an ANSI compatible terminal to the RS-232 port

6.Type [!] to enter the monitor menu.

7.If prompted with a message like Warning: Entering monitor will lock out other Ethernet access and force reset, type [Y] to get the command prompt.

8.Type [N] to enter the network protocols menu.

9.Type [T] to enter the TCP/IP menu.

10.Change the settings for the TCP/IP engine options as prompted.

11.Return to the main menu and reboot the MIL-4511H with the [R] command.

Note: On IBM RS-6000 systems, use the following command instead of the command given in step 3 to specify that the connection is Ethernet II:

arp -s ether alpha 0:40:c8:0:01:2B

On AT&T Star servers and NCR systems, use this command:

arpbypass set alpha 0x00.0x40.0xc8.0x00.0x01.0x2B

On Windows 95/98 or NT with TCP/IP systems, use this command:

arp -s alpha 00-40-C8-00-01-2B

The MIL-4511H is now configured on the network.
