2.2.8 Static ARP Table
The Static ARP Table defines a list of static IP addresses that the module will
use when an ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) is required. The module will
accept up to 40 static IP/MAC address data sets.
Use the Static ARP table to reduce the amount of network traffic by specifying IP
addresses and their associated MAC (hardware) addresses that the MVI56E-
MNET module will be communicating with regularly.
Important: If the device in the field is changed, this table must be updated to contain the new MAC
address for the device and downloaded to the module. If the MAC is not changed, no
communications with the module will be provided.
