3.4 Initial Assignment of the IP Address using ARP

Radionics recommends that you read this entire step before beginning. Also, make sure there is power to the

D6680 Network Adapter and the Ethernet Network RJ45 connection is in place.

The D6680 Network Adapter being configured and the PC being used to configure it must both be on

the same gateway (the device that connects the LAN to the WAN) in order to telnet (the process of

using the TELNET program to communicate with the D6680 Network Adapter and establish its

communications configuration parameters) into the configuration program. The gateway may be

called a router, hub, or MAU. After the D6680 Network Adapter has been configured and it has an IP

address - you will be able to telnet in to change configuration parameters from anywhere on the

network.

Once you have the IP address and the network administrator confirms that it is ready, open up the MS-DOS

prompt on the host computer tied into the network that is to be used. You will now need to use the ARP program

to assign the D6680 Network Adapter its new IP address.

ARP, short for Address Resolution Protocol, is a program used to convert an IP address into a hardware address

such as a MAC. The ARP program is installed into the C:\WINDOWS directory by default by Microsoft

Windows

95, Windows

98, Windows

2000, and Windows

NT, during install.

At the MS-DOS

prompt (usually

C:\WINDOWS), the following

command syntax is to be used:

arp –s arp –s xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx zz-zz-zz-zz-zz-zzzz-zz-zz-zz-zz-zz

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

is the IP address

assigned to the D6680

Network Adapter by

the Network

Administrator

zz-zz-zz-zz-zz-zz

is the MAC hardware

address found on the

label of the D6680

Network Adapter.

The following steps detail the assignment of an IP address to a

D6680 Network Adapter, using the ARP program. The following

MAC address is used as an example.

Example MAC Address

REMEMBER THAT THE IP AND MAC ADDRESSES USED IN THIS EXAMPLE WILL NOT BE THE

SAME AS THE NUMBERS YOU ARE USING. THIS IS FOR DEMONSTRATION ONLY.

1. Open a MS-DOS

window by selecting Start àà Programs àà

MS- DOS Prompt:

A DOS window will appear.

Type the ARP –s command with

the IP Address and the MAC

Hardware address from above.

For this example the IP address to

assign is 190.200.128.220 and the

MAC hardware address is:

00-20-4a-12-04-0e
