5. Execute a ping command by entering ping followed by a space and the new IP address
at the command prompt. For example:
ping 10.13.197.7
You must ping the SMX in order for the IP address change to take place. The response
should show the new IP address, as shown in the following picture.
Figure 66. Ping Command
To verify that the update was successful, reconnect using either Telnet or a Web browser.
6. After verifying that the IP address change was successful, enter the arp -d command at
the DOS prompt. For example:
arp -d 10.13.197.7 removes 10.13.197.7 from the ARP table or
arp -d* removes all static IP addresses from the ARP table.
Connect as a Telnet Client
The Microsoft Telnet utility is available from the command window. Telnet allows you to
input SIS commands to the SMX from the PC via the Ethernet link and the LAN.
Access the command window and start Telnet as follows:
1. From the Windows Start menu, navigate to and select All Programs > Accessories
> Command Prompt
. A DOS command window opens.
NOTES: The command prompt can also be accessed from the Run... field.
• For Windows 7, click the Windows Start menu, and enter cmd in the
Search Programs and Files field. Select Cmd from the list.
• For older Windows operating systems, click the Windows Start menu
and select Run.... In the Run window, enter command in the Open field
and click OK.
3. At the prompt, enter telnet. A display similar to figure 67 opens.
