Basic Installation
ARP in Windows 95 and Windows NT
Perform the following commands to download the
Internet address and verify correct Internet communi-
cation:
1.Start a DOS window and type the following command:
arp -s <Internet address> <Ethernet address>
2. Ping the unit as follows:
ping <Internet address>
Example:
arp -s 172.16.253.80 00-40-8c-10-00-86
ping 172.16.253.80
The host will return
'Reply from 172.16.253.80 . . . '
or some similar message. This indicates that the address
has been set and the communication is established.
Important!
Windows 95 only:
If the ARP table is empty, you
must first ping an existing unit on your network
before setting the Internet address of your DRM-
6NX. Type
arp -a
to display the ARP table.

Please note that when you execute the
ping
command for the
first time, you will experience a significantly longer response time

ARP and PING commands should be used consecutively in order
to set an IP address to this product.
With this method, IP address can be changed in 30 minutes after
the server is started up.
The confirmation by Web Browser is recommended.
If you have some problem, please see ARP command help.

÷Domain name
÷NTP server Internet address
2.Activate the scope.
In the DRM-6NX configuration file, DHCP is enabled by
default. The Internet address and all the other settings
will be downloaded automatically.
NOTE :

It takes a few minutes to get the IP address from the DHCP server
ARP in UNIX and OS/2
Follow these steps to download the Internet address
and verify the communication:
1.Type the following command:
arp -s <host name> <Ethernet address> temp
2.Ping the unit as follows:
ping <host names>
Example:
arp-s cdserv 00:40:8c:10:00:86 temp
ping cdserv
The host will return
'cdserv is alive'
, or a similar
message to indicate that the address has been set and
that communication is established.

Please note that when you execute the
ping
command for the
first time, you may experience a significantly longer response time

The
arp -s
command may vary from system to system. Some
BSD-type systems expect the host name and Ethernet address in
reverse order, whereas IBM AIX systems require the additional
argument
ether
. For example:
arp -s ether <host name> 00:40:8c:l0:00:86 temp
RARP in UNIX
Follow these steps to use the RARP method in UNIX:
1.Append the following line to your Ethernet address
table. This is typically performed using the command
/etc/ethers:
<Ethernet address> <host name>
Example:
00:40:8c:10:00:86 cdserv
2. If necessary, update your host table and alias name
databases as required by your system.
3. If it is not already running, start the RARP daemon.
This is typically done using the command
rarpd -a
.
4. Restart the DRM-6NX to download the Internet
address.
