Unless the network is not yet in existence, however, an address

will already have been given to the network section that the

Ethernet Card is to be plugged into. In this case, the interface

card should be given an address that has the same first three

sets of numbers as the other devices on that network section,

and be given a unique last (4th set) number different from that

of any other device on that network section. The network

supervisor should be able to determine what addresses are in

use at the site.

How to input the IP address

Use arp or ping to set the IP address for the Ethernet Card, as

described below:

1. Press the Status Sheet button to print a report including the

node address.

2. Enter the arp command: ARP-S (IP address) (node address).

For example:

ARP-S 133.200.3.181 00:00:48:92:DA:35

Ping the new IP address. For example:

PING 133.200.3.181

The Ethernet Card will be set to this IP address.

Caution:

Two different Ethernet cards should not be active on the same

network until their addresses have been set, otherwise they

will both have the same address (which will confuse the

network).
