Connection and Configuration, cont'd
In order to use this setup method, both your computer
and IPL T interface must be connected to the same LAN.
Or, you may use a crossover Ethernet cable to connect
the device server directly to your computer's Ethernet
card.
Use ARP to configure the IP address as follows:
1. Obtain a valid IP address for your IPL T interface from
your network administrator.
2. Obtain the IPL T unit's MAC address (UID #) from the
label on its rear panel.
If the unit has never been configured and is still set for
3.
factory defaults, go to step 4. If not, perform a Mode 4
system reset. For detailed information on reset modes, see
Resetting the unit in Chapter 2.
CAUTION Your IPL T unit must be configured with the
factory default IP address — 192.168.254.254 —
before executing the ARP command, as described
below.
4. Access the MS-DOS command prompt, then execute the
'arp –s' command.
Enter the desired new IP address and the MAC address
(the MAC address is located on the rear panel's upper
right corner) for the IPL T unit. For example:
arp –s 10.13.170.15 00-05-A6-00-0A-90
Figure 3-5 — Executing the ARP command
5. Execute a 'ping' command by typing your new IP address
at the command prompt. For example:
ping 10.13.170.15

After issuing this command, the unit will change to the
new address and start responding to the ping requests, as
shown below. The IPL T unit's IP address should now be
updated to the new address, and then you can reconnect
using either Telnet or the Web to verify that the update
was successful.

6. After verifying that the change was successful, issue the
arp –d command at the DOS prompt. For example:
arp –d 10.13.170.15 will remove 10.13.170.15 from the arp
table
or
arp –d* will remove all static IP addresses from the arp
table.
Configuring the IPL T using direct PC connection
This type of connection is used initially to connect to and
configure the IPL T unit. The unit's default settings (IP address,
Subnet mask, and [optional] administrator name and password)
must be changed in order to use the unit on an intranet (LAN)
or on the Internet (WAN).
1. Plug one end of a Cat 5, crossover Ethernet cable into the
rear panel Ethernet connector on the IPL T unit. Refer to
figure 2-7 for RJ-45 connector wiring.
2. Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet
port on your PC.
3. Right click on the Network Neighborhood or My Network
Places icon on your Windows (98, 2000, NT, ME, XP)
desktop and select Properties from the menu.
