4. At the PC, access the MS-DOS
®
command prompt, then
enter the arp –s command. Type in the desired new
IP address for the unit (obtained in step 1) and the unit’s
MAC address (from the unit's rear panel). For example:
arp –s 10.13.197.7 00-05-A6-03-69-B0 and then
press {Enter}.
After receiving the arp -s command, the controller
changes to the new address and starts responding to the
ping requests, as described in step 5.

You must ping the FOX 4G Matrix Switcher as shown in
step 5 for the IP address change to take place. The response
should show the new IP address, as shown in the following
figure.
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
C:\>ping 10.13.197.7
Pinging 10.13.197.7 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 10.13.197.7: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128
Reply from 10.13.197.7: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128
Reply from 10.13.197.7: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128
Reply from 10.13.197.7: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128
Ping statistics for 10.13.197.7:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms
N
You can reconnect using either Telnet or a Web browser to
verify that the update was successful.
6. After verifying that the IP address change was successful,
enter and issue 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.
