NOTE: The MTPX Plus switcher must be configured with the factory default IP

address (192.168.254.254) before the ARP command is executed, as described below.

4.At the PC, access the Command prompt (see “Pinging to Determine the Extron IP Address” on the preceding page, steps 1 through 3), then enter the arp –scommand. Type in the desired new IP address for the unit (obtained in step 1) and the MAC address of the unit (from the rear panel of the unit), for example

arp –s 10.13.197.7 00-05-A6-03-69-B0 and then press {Enter}.

The computer returns the command prompt (C:\).

After you issue the arp -scommand, the controller changes to the new address and starts responding to the ping requests to the new address, as described in the next step.

NOTE: You must ping the MTPX Plus switcher for the IP address change to take place. The response should show the new IP address, as shown in figure 92.

5.Execute a ping command by entering ping followed by a space and the new IP address at the command prompt. For example:

ping 10.13.197.7

C:\>ping 10.13.197.7

Pinging 10.13.197.7 with 32 bytes of data:

Reply from 10.13.197.7: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128

Reply from 10.13.197.7: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128

Reply from 10.13.197.7: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128

Reply from 10.13.197.7: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128

Figure 92. Ping with New Address

NOTE: You can reconnect using either Telnet or a web browser to verify that the

update was successful.

6.After verifying that the IP address change was successful, enter and issue the arp –d command at the Command prompt. For example:

arp –d 10.13.197.7 removes 10.13.197.7 from the ARP table or

arp –d*removes all static IP addresses from the ARP table.
