The host will return
‘Reply from 172.16.253.80...’
or a similar
message. This indicates that the address has been set and that the
communication is established.
Important!
Windows 95 only: If the ARP table is empty, you must first ping
an existing unit on your network before setting the Internet
address of your AXIS 700. Type
arp -a
to display the ARP table.
Notes:
Once the AXIS 700 has established communication using an
appropriate Internet address, the
arp/ping
commands cannot be
used to change the address. The reason for this is to avoid
accidental or unauthorized changes of the Internet address.
Restart the AXIS 700 to make it accept the setting of the Internet
address. You can perform a restart remotely via the AXIS 700 web
interface. See “Specifying System Settings ”on page 36.
When you execute the
ping
command for the first time, the
response time may be significantly longer than usual.
Using ARP in
UNIX and OS/2
In UNIX and OS/2, type the following commands to download the
Internet address and verify the communication:
The
Ethernet address
or
node address
equals the AXIS 700 serial
number with each pair of digits separated by a colon.
Example:
The host will return
‘spserv is alive’
or a similar message. This
indicates that the address has been set and that communication is
established.
arp -s <host name> <Ethernet or node address> temp
ping <host name>
arp -s spserv 00:40:8c:11:00:86 temp
ping spserv
