MLC 226 IP Series • Software-based Conﬁ guration and Control

PRELIMINARY

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 10.13.197.9 removes 10.13.197.9 from the ARP table

arp –d* removes all static IP addresses from the ARP table.

Conﬁ guring the MLC for network communication via a Web

browser

The default Web pages that are preloaded on the MLC 226 IP are compatible

with popular Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator (version 6.0 or higher),

Internet Explorer (version 5.5 or higher), or Mozilla Firefox (version 1.0 or higher).

However, the MLC and the PC must both be part of the same subnet before they

can communicate via the LAN port. You must change the PC’s IP address to one

that is on the same subnet as the default IP address of the MLC (192.168.254.254).

This method requires a crossover cable. See page 2-14 for cabling details.

1. Temporarily change the host PC’s IP address. See “Setting up the PC for

IP communication with the MLC” later in this chapter for step-by-step

instructions.

2. Obtain a valid IP address for the controller from your network administrator.

3. Launch the Web browser on the connected PC (for which you set up the

network conﬁ guration earlier), and enter “http://192.168.254.254/” in the

address box. The MLC 226 IP’s default Web page is displayed.

4. Select the Configuration tab, then select System Settings from the menu on

the left of the screen. A Web page appears. The top half of a typical screen is

shown in the following picture.
