In order for the ARP command to work on Windows, the ARP table on the PC must have at least
one IP address defined other than its own. If the ARP table is empty, the command will return an
error message. Type ARP -A at the DOS command prompt to verify that there is at least one entry
in the ARP table.
If there is no other entry beside the local machine, ping another IP machine on your network to
build the ARP table. This has to be a host other than the machine that you're working on. Once
there is at least one entry in the ARP table, use the following commands to ARP the IP address to
the EPS and make the EPS acknowledge the IP assignment.
NOTE: There should be replies from the IP address if the ARP command
worked.
When the EPS receives the ping packet, it will notice that its IP address is not set and will send out
broadcasts to see if another node is using the specified address. If no duplicate is found, the server
will use the IP address and will respond to the ping packet.
The EPS will not save the learned IP address permanently; this procedure is intended as a
temporary measure to enable EZWebCon to communicate with the server, or allow an
