16.2.3Setting the IP Address

The Ethernet Interface’s IP address must be configured before a network connection is available. If the IP address was not set automatically via DHCP, set it now using a network and the setup (configuration) menu.

Network Port Login

The ARP method is available under UNIX and Windows-based systems. The Ethernet

Interface will set its address from the first directed TCP/IP packet it receives.

ARP on UNIX

On a Unix host, create an entry in the host’s ARP table using the intended IP address and the hardware address of the Ethernet Interface, which is found on the product label.

arp –s 191.12.3.77 00:20:4a:xx:xx:xx

ARP ON WINDOWS

In order for the ARP command to work on Windows, the RP table on the PC must have at least one IP address defined other than its own. If the ARP table is empty, the command will return an error message. Type ARP –A at the DOS command prompt to verify that there is at least one entry in the ARP table.

If the local machine is the only entry, ping another IP address on your network to build a new entry in the ARP table; the IP address must be a host other than the machine on which you are working. Once there is at least one additional entry in the ARP table, use the following command to ARP the IP address to the Ethernet Interface:

arp –s 191.12.3.77 00-20-4a-xx-xx-xx

Telnet to Port 1

Now open a Telnet connection to Port 1. The connection will fail quickly (3 seconds). But the Ethernet Interface will temporarily change its IP address to the one designated in this step.

telnet 191.12.3.77 1

Telnet to Port 9999

Finally, open a Telnet connection to port 9999 and set all required parameters.

telnet 191.12.3.77 9999

This IP address is temporary and will revert to the default value when the Ethernet Interface’s power is reset, unless you log into the Ethernet Interface and store the changes permanently.

16.2.4 Network Configuration

Certain parameters must be configured before the Ethernet Interface can function on a network. The Ethernet Interface can be locally or remotely configured using the following procedures:
