Setting the IP Address Using ARP
The IP address can be set using the Ping command from a PC after the module’s
Ethernet address is entered into the ARP table.
All 8 switches of the IP Address Configuration DIP switch must be set to the ON
position prior to powering up the module. The Arp/Ping feature is disabled if any
switch is in the OFF position.
On a PC connected to the Anybus-X using Ethernet bring up a MS DOS™ win-
dow type:
arp -s <Desired IP Address> <Module Ethernet Address>
The MAC address can be found on the back of the module. Next type:
ping <Desired IP Address>
This will set the IP address of the module. Now type:
arp -d <Desired IP address>
to remove the static entry from the ARP table.
Example:
The following commands will set the IP address of a Anybus-X with MAC
address 00-30-11-02-00-5E to 65.106.34.252.
arp -s 65.106.34.252 00-30-11-02-00-5e
ping 65.106.34.252
arp -d 65.106.34.252
