Configuring the IP Address Using Ping-ARP
Use this section to configure an IP address by manually updating a server's ARP table and then
pinging the Digi device.
Starting Point
This procedure assumes the following:
•
That your Digi device supports this feature. See "Devices That Support DPA-Remote and Ping-
ARP for IP Address Configuration" on page 2-2.
•
That your Digi device is connected to the Ethernet network
Procedure
1. Record the MAC address of the Digi device. It's on the back of the unit.
2. Access a server on the same subnet as the Digi device.
3. Manually update the server's ARP table using the Digi device's MAC address and the IP address
you want assigned to the Digi device. The following is an example of how this is done on a Win-
dows NT 4.0 system:
arp -s 143.191.2.1 00-40-9d-22-23-60
4. Ping the Digi device using the IP address just assigned. The following is an example:
ping 143.191.2.1
The ping will probably time out before there is a response from the Digi device.
5. Wait a few seconds and then ping the Digi device again.
The Digi device replies to the ping, indicating that the IP address has been configured.
