3.2.6 Static ARP Table
This section defines a list of static IP addresses that the module will use when an
ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) is required. The module will accept up to 40
static IP/MAC Address data sets.
Use the Static ARP table to reduce the amount of network traffic by specifying IP
addresses and their associated MAC (hardware) addresses that the MVI69L-
MBTCP module will be communicating with regularly.
Parameter Value Description

Important: If the device in the field is changed, this table
must be updated to contain the new MAC address for the
device and downloaded to the module. If the MAC is not
changed, no module communications will be provided.
