Setting Up and Configuring the PC1 Using ARP

The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) command provides a quick way to set up an IP address for the PC1, using your PC. The ARP commands tell your computer to associate the PC1 Media Access Control (MAC) address with an IP address that you assign.

1.Obtain a valid IP address for your PC1 from your network administrator.

2.Obtain the PC1 MAC address (UID#) from the small label on the PC1 rear panel (see

“Rear Panels” in the “Installation and Rear Panels” section). The MAC address should have the following format:

00-05-A6-nn-nn-nn

3.If the PC1 has never been configured and is still set for factory defaults, skip to step 4. If not, perform a mode 4 system reset to restore the factory-set values (see “Resetting” in the “Front Panel Features and Operations” section for the resetting procedure.)

CAUTION: The PC1 must be configured with the factory default IP address (192.168.254.254) before you execute the ARP command, as described below.

4.On the computer, access the command prompt as follows:

a.From your Windows desktop Start menu, select Run... .

b.On the Run window, enter cmd. The command window opens.

5.At the command prompt enter arp -s, followed by the desired new IP address for the PC1, a space, and finally the PC1 MAC address (taken from the small label on the rear panel; see “Rear Panels” in the “Installation and Rear Panels” section).

For example:

arp -s 10.13.197.57 00-05-A6-01-33-0D

A space must separate arp and the hyphen [-].

6.Execute a ping command by entering ping, followed by the new IP address, at the command prompt. For example:

ping 10.13.197.57

Ping is a utility or diagnostic tool that tests network connections. It is used to determine if the host has an operating connection and is able to exchange information with another host.
