Chapter 2 Configuring the IP Address 13
3. Manually update the server’s ARP table using the Digi device’s MAC
address and the IP address you want assigned to the Digi device. The
following is an example of how this is done on a Windows NT 4.0
system:
arp -s 143.191.2.1 00-00-9d-22-23-60
4. Ping the Digi device using the IP address just assigned. The following is
an example:
ping 143.191.2.1
The ping will probably time out before there is a response from the Digi
device.
5. Wait a few seconds and then ping the Digi device again.
The Digi device replies to the ping, indicating that the IP address has
been configured.
