Extron electronic JMP 9600 manual Ping with New Address

Configuring the Media Player for Network use via the ARP Command

The ARP (address resolution protocol) command tells your computer to associate the media MAC (media access control) address of the player with the assigned IP address. You must then use the ping utility to access the controller, at which point the IP address of the controller is reconfigured.

Use ARP to configure the IP address as follows:

1.Obtain a valid IP address, such as 10.13.197.7, for the media player from your network administrator.

2.Obtain the MAC address (UID #) of the media player from the label on its rear panel. The MAC address should have this format: 00-E0-AA-xx-xx-xx.

3.At the PC, access the MS-DOS command prompt, 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 media player for the IP address change to take place. The response should show the new IP address, as shown in figure 83.

4.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

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

5.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.
