NPort 6000 Series User’s Manual Initial IP Address Configuration
3-4
ATTENTION
In order to use the ARP setup method, both your computer and the NPort 6000 must be connected
to the same LAN. Alternatively, you may use a cross-over Ethernet cable to connect the NPort
6000 directly to your computer’s Ethernet card. Before executing the ARP command, your NPort
6000 must be configured with the factory default IP address (192.168.127.254) and your
computer and the NPort 6000 must be on the same subnet.
To use ARP to configure the IP address, complete the following:
1. Obtain a valid IP address for your NPort 6000 from your network administrator.
2. Obtain your NPort 6000’s MAC address from the label on the bottom panel.
3. Execute the arp -s command from your computer’s MS-DOS prompt as follows:
arp -s <IP address> <MAC address>
For example,
C:\> arp -s 192.168.200.100 00-90-E8-04-00-11
4. Next, execute a special Telnet command by entering the following exactly:
telnet 192.168.200.100 6000
When you enter this command, a Connect failed message will appear, as shown below.
5. After the NPort 6000 reboots, its IP address will assigned to the new address and you can
reconnect using Telnet to verify that the update was successful.
Telnet Console
Depending on how your computer and network are configured, you may find it convenient to use
network access to set up your NPort 6000’s IP address. This can be done using Telnet.
