Using ARP in
Windows
In Windows 95/98 and Windows NT, you can download the IP
address using ARP. Perform the following commands to download the
IP address and verify the communication.
From the DOS prompt, type the following:
The
Ethernet address
equals the serial number of the AXIS 700
with each pair of digits separated by a hyphen.
Example:
The host will return
‘Reply from 172.19.2.254...’
or a similar
message. This indicates that the address has been set and that the
communication is established.
Important!
o Windows 95 only: If the ARP table is empty, you must first ping
an existing unit on your network before setting the IP address of
your AXIS 700. Type
arp -a
to display the ARP table.
Notes:
o Once the AXIS 700 has established communication using an
appropriate IP address, the arp/ping commands can be used to
change the IP address only for 30 minutes. From then on it is
locked until you restart your AXIS 700. The reason for this is to
avoid accidental or unauthorized changes of the IP address.
Restart the AXIS 700 to make it accept the setting of the IP
address. You can perform a restart remotely via the AXIS 700 web
interface. See “Specifying System Settings ”on page 46.
o When you execute the
ping command for the first time, the
response time may be significantly longer than usual.
arp -s <IP address> <Ethernet address>
ping <IP address>
arp -s 172.16.253.80 00-40-8c-11-00-86
ping 172.16.253.80
