”Ipconfig”

“ipconfig” can be used to show your current TCP/IP information, including your address, DNS server addresses, adapter
type and so on.

Figure 79 - Ipconfig

In the above example ipconfig was entered in the command prompt.

The reply back shows the PC’s IP address, Subnet

mask and the gateway it is connected to.

Other ipconfig commands will return back more information. The hardware or MAC address of the computer may be
discovered using the command ipconfig /all.

Ipconfig /? Lists all of the commands and their usages available for use.

“Arp”

Displays and modifies the IP-to-Physical address translation tables used by Address Resolution Protocol (ARP).

Once a remote computer has been pinged, this can be used to see the IP address & MAC address of the remote
computer. It will also show any other devices on the network that it may be connected to.

Figure 80 - Arp

The command used in the screen shot above is

“arp –a”. It shows the PC’s IP address like the previous ipconfig

command, in this case the IP address is still 192.168.0.17. It also shows the IP address and its associated MAC address
of any another device that has a connection to it.

“Arp –?” Lists the commands available for this function.

”Route”

Route is used where you are joining two or more different networks together via the WI-MOD-945-E. Refer to Section 1.1
for more details.

If more than one routing rule is needed then a Routing Table is required, e.g. Multiple networks each with a different IP
range.

If only one route is required, a ‘Default Gateway IP Address’ on the Main Network Page can be configured instead of
configuring a Routing Rule.
