Ping of Life

Note
CAUTION
100 / 180
The Ping of Life is a method to reset the IP address of the Speed
Touch Home without changing other settings.
The principle is fairly simple, a special ping packet will deliver an
IP address to your STHome.
The steps to be performed are:
Pre configure the intended IP address and a special Medium
"
Access Control (MAC) group address in the ARP cache of one
of your PCs;
Turn of the STHome, turn it on again and allow the self test to
"
end (takes about 30 seconds). Now ping this IP address within
60 seconds;
If everything goes well, your STHome has assimilated this IP
"
address.
Most TCP/IP packages support the ARP and PING command. The
Ping of Life can be executed from any PC on your local network.
IP Addresses and Subnet Masks
Make sure that the intended STHome IP address and your PC
share the same IP (sub)network.
If not, the ping will be submitted with the MAC address of the
default router instead of the special MAC group address.
