ARPPing IP Address Assignment

If it is not convenient to change the PC/workstation network address, you
can use the ARP-Ping command to reset the ECS0016 IP address. To do
this from a Windows PC:

Click

1.

Start > Run

Type

2.

cmd in the text box provided and click OK to open the command

line

Type

3.

arp –d to flush the ARP cache:

Type

4.

arp –a to view the current ARP cache which should now be

empty.
Now, add a static entry to the ARP table and ping the ECS0016 to
prompt it to assume the IP address.

The following example illustrates an ECS0016 with a MAC Address

00:13:C6:00:02:0F (designated on the label on the bottom of the unit),

and we are setting its IP address to 192.168.100.23. Also, the PC/work
station issuing the

arp command must be on the same network

segment as the ECS0016 (i.e. have an IP address of 192.168.100.xxx).

Type

5.

arp -s 192.168.100.23 00-13-C6-00-02-0F (Note for UNIX the

syntax is:

arp -s 192.168.100.23 00:13:C6:00:02:0F)

Type

6.

ping -t 192.18.100.23 to start a continuous ping to the new IP

Address.

Turn on the ECS0016 and wait for it to configure itself with the new IP

7.
Address. It will start replying to the ping at this point.

Type

8.

arp –d to flush the ARP cache again.

Activate your preferred browser on the connected PC/ workstation and

9.
enter

https://192.168.0.1 in the URL field.
