IPL T CR48 • Connection and Conguration
3-5
Configuring the IPL T CR48 using the ARP
command
You can make use of the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)
command to set up an IP address for your IPL T CR48 interface.
The ARP command tells your computer to associate the
IPL T CR48 unit’s MAC address with the assigned IP address.
You must then use Ping to access the IPL T CR48 unit, at which
point the device server’s IP address will be recongured.
N In order to use this setup method, both your computer
and IPL T CR48 interface must be connected to the same
LAN. Or, you may use a crossover Ethernet cable to
connect the device server directly to your computer’s
Ethernet card.
Use ARP to congure the IP address as follows:
1.
Obtain a valid IP address for your IPL T CR48 from your
network administrator.
2. Obtain the IPL T CR48 unit’s MAC address (UID #) from
the label on its back panel.
3. If the unit has never been congured and is still set for
factory defaults, go to step 4. If not, perform a Mode 4
system reset. For detailed information on reset modes, see
“Resetting the unit” in chapter 2.
C Your IPL T CR48 unit must be configured with the
factory default IP address — 192.168.254.254 —
before executing the ARP command, as described
below.
4. Access the MS-DOS command prompt, then execute the
‘arp –s’ command.
Enter the desired new IP address and the MAC address
(the MAC address is located on the rear panel’s upper left
corner) for the IPL unit. For example:
arp –s 10.13.170.15 00-05-A6-00-0A-90
