2.Start a continuous ping to the OkiLAN 6010e.
ping <ip_address>
Example: ping 192.168.42.24
On some systems, this may require an additional pa- rameter. Some implementations of ping only send out one ping packet which could get lost in transit. Check your system documentation for more information.
3. Connect power to the OkiLAN 6010e.
The OkiLAN 6010e will glean its IP address from the ping packet. This IP address will remain in effect until the OkiLAN 6010e is powered off or reset. Therefore, a permanent IP address should be assigned by running the OkiNet for TCP/IP utility or via telnet.
Note: Gleaning does not work with Windows NT Workstation 3.5.
DHCP
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provides a framework for passing configuration infor- mation to hosts on a TCP/IP network in a client/server fashion. DHCP is based on the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP), adding the capability of automatic allocation of reusable network addresses and additional configura- tion options. DHCP uses the same packet structure as BOOTP so current BOOTP relay agents will also interact with DHCP messages.
