OKI OkiLAN 6010e User’s Guide
2. Start a continuous ping to the OkiLAN
6010e.
ping <ip_address>
Example: ping 192.168.42.24
On some systems, this may require an additional pa-
rameter. Some implementations of ping only send out
one ping packet which could get lost in transit. Check
your system documentation for more information.
3. Connect power to the OkiLAN 6010e.
The OkiLAN 6010e will glean its IP address from the
ping packet. This IP address will remain in effect until
the OkiLAN 6010e is powered off or reset. Therefore, a
permanent IP address should be assigned by running the
OkiNet for TCP/IP utility or via telnet.
Note: Gleaning does not work with Windows NT
Workstation 3.5.
DHCP
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
provides a framework for passing configuration infor-
mation to hosts on a TCP/IP network in a client/server
fashion. DHCP is based on the Bootstrap Protocol
(BOOTP), adding the capability of automatic allocation
of reusable network addresses and additional configura-
tion options. DHCP uses the same packet structure as
BOOTP so current BOOTP relay agents will also
interact with DHCP messages.
