3.2.6 Static ARP Table
This section defines a list of static IP addresses that the module uses when an
ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) is required. The module accepts 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 MVI69E-
MBTCP module communicates with regularly.
In ProSoft Configuration Builder tree view, double-click the STATIC ARP TABLE
icon.
Parameter Value Description
IP Address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx This table contains a list of static IP addresses that the module

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, there is no
communication with the module.
Hardware MAC
