2. To statically enter the IP address, type arp-s (your IP address) (mac address shown on the card). Refer to
the first example shown in Figure 3-2 7.
3. Use a telnet session to activate the address by typing telnet (your IP address) 1 .
The telnet connection will time out and fail, but the address will be activated.
4. You can view the address in your arp table by typing arp -a .
This will list the arp table and you will see your IP address and its mac address, and it will be listed as a
static entry.
5. You should now be connected and can test connectivity by pinging your address. To ping your address,
type ping (your IP address).
6. Now that you have statically established communication on your local machine, you will be able to
search and find the card with DeviceInstaller to set the permanent IP address of the card.
If you are having connection issues, there may be network variables preventing communication. Make
sure to turn off all firewalls, anti-virus software, and be logged in as a user with administrator privileges.
Other methods of configuring the settings on the card are vie the web or a telnet session. You can see the
card’s settings through your web browser by typing its IP address in the address bar of Internet Explorer.
The card be configured via telnet by typing telnet (your IP address) 9999.
When using telnet, the numbers after the IP address stand for the port number. Port 9999 “talks” to the card (used for
configuring the card only). Port 10001 “talks” through the card to the indicator (used for communicating with iRev,
Revolution, HyperTerminal, etc.).
3.4 Configuration Parameters
Web configuration of the card can be done by entering the IP address in your web browser and clicking GO (or
