Configuring the Media Player for Network use via the ARP Command
The ARP (address resolution protocol) command tells your computer to associate the
media MAC (media access control) address of the player with the assigned IP address. You
must then use the ping utility to access the controller, at which point the IP address of the
controller is reconfigured.
Use ARP to configure the IP address as follows:
1. Obtain a valid IP address, such as 10.13.197.7, for the media player from your network
administrator.
2. Obtain the MAC address (UID #) of the media player from the label on its rear panel.
The MAC address should have this format: 00-E0-AA-xx-xx-xx.
3. 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 MAC address
of the unit (from the rear panel of the unit). For example
arp –s 10.13.197.7 00-05-A6-03-69-B0 and then press .
The computer returns the command prompt ( C:\ ).
After you issue the arp -s command, the controller changes to the new address and
starts responding to the ping requests to the new address, as described in the next step.
NOTE: You must ping the media player for the IP address change to take place.
The response should show the new IP address, as shown in figure 83.
4. 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
Figure 83. Ping with New Address
NOTE: You can reconnect using either Telnet or a web browser to verify that the
update was successful.
5. After verifying that the IP address change was successful, enter and issue the arp –d
command at the Command 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.
