Axis NPS 530/532 User's Manual
The arp command associates your NPS 530/532's node address with an
IP address. The IP address is then down-loaded by the ping command.
The arp command syntax depends on your Unix system (see examples
below). This is the syntax for System V and some BSD-type systems:
arp -s <host name> <node address> temp
ping <host name>
The node address is the serial number found at the back of the NPS
530/532. Each pair of digits must be separated by colons as in examples
below.
The arp command differs between different Unix systems. The 'ether'
argument is only required for IBM AIX systems, and some BSD-type
systems expect the host name and node address in reversed order.
arp -s 00:40:8C:11:00:86 salesdept temp
ping salesdept
arp -s salesdept 00:40:8C:11:00:86 temp
ping salesdept
arp -s ether salesdept 00:40:8C:11:00:86 temp
ping salesdept
The host will return 'salesdept is alive' or similar indicating that the IP
address has been set, and that communication is established.
When you execute the ping command for the first time, you should
expect a response time significantly longer than usual.
