Configuring the Pod to Use a Static IP Address (-is Option)
Reconfiguring the pod to use a static IP requires contacting the network administrator to
determine the required information:
•
The podʹs new static IP address, example: 192.168.1.123
•
The network mask, example: 255.255.255.0
•
The gateway IP address, example: 192.168.1.1
Note:
Changing the Ethernet IP configuration of a pod requires a USB connection. It is not possible to
change the IP configuration of a pod that is currently connected via Ethernet.
To change the pod to use a static IP address:
1.
Either disconnect the pod from the target or power‐down the target. The pod must
always be powered when the connected target is powered.
2.
Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the pod.
3.
Disconnect the power cable from the pod.
4.
Connect the USB cable to the PC and the pod.
5.
(Optional) Verify that the stapl player can see the pod over the USB connection:
acx_stapl_player -q
6.
On the host, run acx_stapl_player with the -is,
,
For example, to configure a pod with serial number 12345 to use the static IP 192.168.1.123, enter:
acx_stapl_player.exe -is,192.168.1.123,255.255.255.0,192.168.1.1 -pusb12345
