A new feature with version ‘e’ firmware enables the system manager to remotely
assign an initial IP address to a brand new thin client, or remotely change an
existing IP address.

address to the thin client’s hard coded MAC address. The MAC address is
printed on the base of each thin client. With its updated ARP table your
computer is able to access the AX3000.To set the new IP address the thin client
must be pinged a multiple times.
Using under Unix/Linux:
Run the following command to associate the AX3000’s Ethernet address
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx with the IP address a.b.c.d (this command updates the ARP
table):
# arp -s a.b.c.d xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
Run a ping command:
$ ping a.b.c.d
The first ping requests are not acknowledged. But after few seconds the
