o Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

If you wish to retain your existing IP settings for this network connection, click Advanced
and Add the above as a secondary IP connection.

If it is not convenient to change your computer network address, you can use the ARP-Ping

command to reset the Console Server IP address. To do this from a Windows computer:

Click Start -> Run

Type cmd and click OK to bring up the command line

Type arp –d to flush the ARP cache

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

Now add a static entry to the ARP table and ping the Console Server to have it get the IP
address. In the example below we have a Console Server 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. The computer issuing the arp command must be on the same network segment
as the Console Server (i.e. have an IP address of 192.168.100.xxx)

Type 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 ping -t 192.18.100.23 to start a continuous ping to the new IP Address.

Turn on the Console Server and wait for it to configure itself with the new IP address. It will
start replying to the ping at this point

Type arp –d to flush the ARP cache again

3.1.2 Browser connection

Activate your preferred browser on the connected computer and enter https://192.168.0.1 The

Console Server supports all current versions of the popular browsers (Netscape, Internet
Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and more)
