7.After verifying that the IP address change was successful, issue the arp -dcommand at the DOS prompt to remove the address from the computer ARP table.

For example:

arp -d 10.13.197.57

A space must separate arp from the hyphen (-).

Setting Up and Configuring the PC1 Using a Web Browser

To set up the PC1 for Ethernet communication using a web browser, you must temporarily configure the PC to communicate with the interface. Then you can change the default settings of the PC1 (IP address, subnet mask, and [optionally] administrator name and password) in order to use the unit on an intranet (LAN) or on the Internet (WAN). After you have set up the PC1 for network communication, you can reset the computer to its original network configuration.
