NPort IA5150A/IA5250A Series Initial IP Address Configuration
Take the following steps to use ARP to configure the IP address:
1. Obtain a valid IP address for your NPort IA5150A/IA5250A from your network administrator.
2. Obtain the NPort IA5150A/IA5250A’s MAC address from the label on its bottom panel.
3. Execute the ‘arp -s’ command from your computer’s MS-DOS prompt by typing:
4. arp –s 192.168.200.100 00-90-E8-xx-xx-xx
5. This is where 192.168.200.100 is the new IP address and 00-90-E8-xx-xx-xx is the MAC address for your
NPort IA5150A/IA5250A. (Be sure to use the actual IP address and MAC address for your NPort
IA5150A/IA5250A.)
6. Next, execute a special Telnet command by typing:
telnet 192.168.200.100 6000
After issuing this command, a Connect failed message will appear, as shown here. After the NPort reboots,
its IP address should be updated to the new address, and you can reconnect using either Telnet, Web, or
Administrator to check 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 NPort IA5150A/IA5250A’s IP address. This can be done using Telnet.
