Section IV - TCP/IP
Static Route Entry
When the OkiLAN 6010e is powered on or reset and no permanent IP address has been assigned, it will attempt to obtain an IP address through Gleaning, RARP, BOOTP or DHCP. If the OkiLAN 6010e has not deter- mined its IP address after two minutes, the IP address will default to 198.102.102.254. This IP address should only be used temporarily to configure a new, permanent IP address. To change to a permanent IP address, the route add command is used to place the OkiLAN 6010e product’s default IP address into the workstation’s network routing table. To use the route command, you must have Windows 95, Windows NT or
route add 198.102.102.254 “IP address of the workstation” 0
Note: The zero (0) placed at the end of the route add command shown above is optional.
The Static Route method only works if the host from which you are telneting is on the same subnet as the OkiLAN 6010e. Once the route add command has been issued, telnet will allow you to change and/or make the IP address permanent. After changing the IP address to its permanent address, the routing table entry should be deleted using route delete.
For more information, consult your system documenta- tion for the route command.
