Replacing the Cover

1.

Before replacing the cover, ensure that all components are in place and that all
connections are secure.

2.

Replace the 21 cover retaining screws and ensure that they are uniformly
tightened.

Proceed with setting up the required IP address.

Network Set-Up

Setting up requires MS DOS on a client PC, with both the MTM400 and the client
PC powered up and attached to the same Ethernet network. They should also be
attached to the same subnet, if present.

Setting Up a Static ARP Entry

Associating the MAC address with the IP address involves making an entry in the
ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) table. This is done as follows:

1.

On the client PC, open a MS-DOS window (Start Î Programs Î
Command Prompt).

2.

Enter:

C:\> ARP -s <IP address> <Ethernet MAC address>

for example,

C:\> ARP -s 192.158.201.19 00-01-F8-A7-33-CC

3.

If the command is successful, the prompt is redisplayed with no message.

Testing the IP Address

ƒ

On the client PC, in the MS-DOS window, enter:

C:\> ping <IP address>

for example,

C:\> ping 192.158.201.19

The response should take the following form:

Pinging 192.158.201.19 with 32 bytes of data:
