Configuring The Ipcp For Network Use Via Global Configurator; Configuring The Ipcp For Network Use Via The Arp Command - Extron electronics IPCP 505 User Manual

IPCP 505 LAN port defaults:
• IP address: 192.168.254.254
• Gateway IP address: 0.0.0.0
• Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
NOTE: Both the computer and the IPCP must be connected to the same subnet on a
LAN (using a straight-through cable). Alternatively, you can use a crossover Ethernet
cable to connect the controller directly to the Ethernet card in the computer.
The following instructions assume that you have already connected the PC to the LAN port
on the IPCP and powered on the controller and the PC.

Configuring the IPCP for Network Use Via Global Configurator

You can configure the IP address of the controller via an IP (Ethernet) connection using
Global Configurator (GC) software. See the Global Configurator Help File for basic
information on using the software and setting up a project. The "Add an IPCP 505 and Set
the IP Address" topic in the help file provides step-by-step instructions on how to use GC to
set up the IP address of the IPCP.

Configuring the IPCP for Network Use Via the ARP Command

The ARP (address resolution protocol) command tells the computer to associate the
MAC (media access control) address of the IPCP 505 with the assigned IP address. You
must then use the ping utility to access the controller, at which point the IP address of the
controller is reconfigured.
Use ARP to configure the IP address as follows:
1. Obtain a valid IP address for the IPCP 505 from your network administrator.
2. Obtain the MAC address (UID #) of the IPCP from the label on its rear panel. The MAC
address should have this format: 00-05-A6-xx-xx-xx.
3. If the IPCP has never been configured and is still set for factory defaults, go to step 4. If
not, perform a Mode 4 system reset. For detailed information on reset modes, see
(IP) connector and LEDs

4. To change to the new IP address, at the PC, access the command prompt, then enter
the arp –s command. Enter the desired new IP address for the unit and the MAC
address of the unit (listed on the
arp –s 192.168.197.7 00-05-A6-03-69-B0
Figure 14.
After the arp -s command is issued, the controller changes to the new address and
starts responding to the ping requests, as described in the next step.
starting on page 14.
The IPCP must be configured with the factory default IP address
(192.168.254.254) before the ARP command is executed.
L'IPCP doit être configuré avec l'adresse IP par défaut (192.168.254.254) avant
d'exécuter la commande ARP.
