Assigning A New Ip Address - GE VersaMax IC200SET001 User Manual

NOTE: Using the ARP command (see below) you can always override the
IP address given to the VMSE by your DHCP server.
If DHCP is enabled on the VMSE, but there is no DHCP server on the
network, the VMSE's request will eventually time out and the unit will boot
up with no IP address. If a static IP address is assigned to the VMSE, the
DHCP support will be disabled within the product. To re-enable DHCP
support, the IP address should be set back to 0.0.0.0.

Assigning a New IP Address

If the IP Address of the VMSE is unknown or undefined, the following steps
outline how to assign a temporary IP address over the network.
1. Set a static ARP with the desired IP address using the hardware address
of the VMSE, which is printed on the product label. The following
example shows the use of ARP in Win95/98/NT (from the DOS prompt)
when the hardware address of the VMSE is 00-20-4A-01-64-0B.
arp -s 191.12.3.77 00-20-4A-01-64-0B
2. Open a Telnet connection to port number 1. This connection will fail,
but the VMSE will change its IP address to the one designated in the
ARP command line.
telnet 191.12.3.77 1
3. Open a Telnet connection to port 9999, and set all required parameters.
telnet 191.12.3.77 9999
Confirm Telnet connection with <ENTER>.
NOTE: The temporary IP address by ARP is reverted after every power
reset of the VMSE. Be sure to log into VMSE and store the parameters to
make the IP address change permanent.
GFK-1852B Chapter 4 Configuration
In order for the ARP command to work in Windows, the ARP table
on the PC must have at least one IP address defined other than its
own. Type "ARP–A" at the DOS command prompt to verify that
there is at least one entry in the ARP table. If there is no entry other
than for the local machine, ping another IP machine on your
network to build the ARP table. This has to be a host other than the
machine on which you are working. Once there is at least one entry
in the ARP table, use the following commands to ARP an IP
address to the VMSE.
