3-5 IPL 250 • Software-based Configuration and Control
You can reconnect using either Telnet or a Web browser to verify that the
update was successful.
6. After verifying that the IP address change was successful, enter and issue the
arp –d command at the DOS prompt. For example:
arp –d 10.13.197.7 removes 10.13.197.7 from the ARP table
or
arp –d* removes all static IP addresses from the ARP table.
Configuring the IPL for network use via a Web browser
The default Web pages that are preloaded on the IPL 250 are compatible with
popular Web browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 5.5 or higher)
or Mozilla Firefox (version 1.0 or higher). However, the IPL and the PC must both
be part of the same subnet before they can communicate via the LAN port. You
must change the PC’s IP address to one that is on the same subnet as the default IP
address of the IPL 250 (192.168.254.254).
N This method requires a crossover cable. See page 2-7 for cabling details.
N Make a note of the host PC's TCP/IP configuration before changing its IP
address and make sure the PC and IPL 250 are on the same subnet.
1. Temporarily change the host PC’s IP address. See “Setting up the PC for
IP communication with an IPL 250” later in this chapter for step-by-step
instructions.
2. Obtain a valid IP address for the controller from your network administrator.
3. Launch the Web browser on the connected PC (for which you set up the
network configuration earlier), and enter http://192.168.254.254/ in
the address box. The IPL 250’s default Web page is displayed.
