Assigning a New IP Address
If the IP Address of the VMSE is unknown or undefined, the following steps outline
how to assign a temporary IP address over the network.
1. Set a static ARP with the desired IP address using the hardware address of the
VMSE, which is printed on the product label. The following example shows the
use of ARP in Win95/98/NT (from the DOS prompt) when the hardware address
of the VMSE is 00-20-4A-01-64-0B.
In order for the ARP command to work in Windows, the ARP table on the
PC must have at least one IP address defined other than its own. Type
“ARP–A” at the DOS command prompt to verify that there is at least one
entry in the ARP table. If there is no other entry beside the local machine,
ping another IP machine on your network to build the ARP table. This has
to be a host other than the machine on which you are working. Once there is
at least one entry in the ARP table, use the following commands to ARP an
IP address to the VMSE.
arp -s 191.12.3.77 00-20-4A-01-64-0B
2. Open a Telnet connection to port number 1. This connection will fail, but the
VMSE will change its IP address to the one designated in the ARP command
line.
telnet 191.12.3.77 1
3. Open a Telnet connection to port 9999, and set all required parameters.
telnet 191.12.3.77 9999
Confirm Telnet connection with <ENTER>.
NOTE: The temporary IP address by ARP is reverted after every power reset of the
VMSE. Be sure to log into VMSE and store the parameters to make the IP address
change permanent.
Unix
Unix arp details when the hardware address of the VMSE is 00-20-4A-01-64-0B.
The command example for most Unix systems is:
arp -s 191.12.3.77 00:20:4A:01:64:0B
