NE-4100 Series User’s Manual Initial IP Address Configuration
5-3
To configure the IP address using ARP, follow these instructions:
1. Obtain a valid IP address for the module from your network administrator.
2. Obtain the module’s MAC address from the label on the module.
3. Execute the ‘arp -s’ command from your computer’s MS-DOS prompt by typing:
arp –s <new IF address> 00-90-E8-tt-tt-tt
For example,
arp –s 192.168.200.100 00-90-E8-00-00-00
In the example above, 192.168.200.100 is the new IP address and 00-90-E8-00-00-00 is the
module’s MAC address, as obtained in steps 1 and 2.
4. Execute a special Telnet command by typing:
telnet <new IF address> 6000
For example,
telnet 192.168.200.100 6000
After issuing this command, a Connect failed message will appear, as shown here. After the
module reboots, its IP address will be updated to the new address, and you can reconnect
using Telnet, web, or Network Enabler Administrator to verify that the update was successful.
Telnet Console
Depending on how your computer and network are configured, you may find it convenient to use
network access to set up your module’s IP address. This can be done using the Telnet program,
which requires that the module have a network connection and an IP address.
1. From the Windows desktop, click on Start and then select Run.
2. Telnet to the module’s current IP address. If this is the first time configuring the module, you
will telnet to the default IP address by typing
telnet 192.168.127.254
in the Open text box, then clicking OK.
