4.At the PC, access the MS-DOS command prompt (see “Pinging to determine the Extron IP address“, steps 1 through 3), then enter the arp –s command. Type in the desired new IP address for the unit (obtained in step 1) and the unit’s MAC address (from the unit’s rear panel), 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.

NYou must ping the matrix switcher BME for the IP address change to take place. The response should show the new IP address, as shown below.

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

Ping statistics for 10.13.197.7:

Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss), Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:

Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms

NYou 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 –dcommand at the DOS 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.
