Unless the network is not yet in existence, however, an address
will already have been given to the network section that the
Ethernet Card is to be plugged into. In this case, the interface
card should be given an address that has the same first three
sets of numbers as the other devices on that network section,
and be given a unique last (4th set) number different from that
of any other device on that network section. The network
supervisor should be able to determine what addresses are in
use at the site.
How to input the IP address
Use arp or ping to set the IP address for the Ethernet Card, as
described below:
1.
Press the
Status Sheet
button to print a report including the
node address.
2.
Enter the arp command: ARP-S (IP address) (node address).
For example:
ARP-S 133.200.3.181 00:00:48:92:DA:35
or
Ping the new IP address. For example:
PING 133.200.3.181
The Ethernet Card will be set to this IP address.
e
Caution:
Two different Ethernet cards should not be active on the same
network until their addresses have been set, otherwise they
will both have the same address (which will confuse the
network).
