Ping an IP address
ping ’some ip’
The ’ip addr’, is the IP address you want to assign to your WebNet, is always given in
dotted (numeric) format. e.g. 192.168.26.35. This is only a local IP assigment, you must
remember to configure the WebNet network settings page accordingly.
The ”temp” parameter, for non-Windows, is used to assign non-permanent ARP entries
and is recommended.
You should replace the ’00’s with the the actual MAC addresse of your WebNet, e.g.
00:D0:C8:00:1x:xx. The MAC address is used as the serial number of the WebNet.
The ’if addr’, which is the IP address of your PC, is also given in dotted (numeric) format.
e.g. 192.168.26.7. This parameter is only required in old versions of Windows.
Use the command ’arp -a’ to verify that your ARP entry is properly set.
To avoid system mis-configuration delete the added ARP entry after the initial WebNet
configuration. If the WebNet unit is properly configured with an IP address all ARP tables
on the network will now be automatically updated.

AutoIP Feature
To manually assign WebNet with an IP address using AutoIP, perform the following:
Do a secure reboot to enable AutoIP. [This step may not be required if factory defaults are
active on a new unit.] See the section above for details.
Use the ’arp’ command to add an entry for your unit, and verify the entry using ’arp -a’.
See the section above for details.
Use the ’ping’ command to send IP packets to your WebNet. When you receive ping replies,
the unit has accepted its AutoIP assignment, and you can delete the ARP entry.
You can now use you Web browser to properly configure the network settings page of the
WebNet - and then reboot it.
