Figure 6 – Successful Detection of MAC ID and IP Address
Assignment in BOOTP Server
Once the assignment has been made and the IP has been sent to the
MetriNet, disconnect power to the MetriNet and that IP will be stored in the
instrument. The MetriNet stores the very last successful IP address
assignment. Then close out all BOOTP server windows.
6)
Now, to check that the IP address has been properly saved, apply power to
MetriNet again and wait one 1 minute before connecting it to the PC port.
Do not launch BOOTP server this time, as you don’t need it. During the 1
minute wait, MetriNet will search for a BOOTP server on power up and won’t
find the service because it is not used here now, and the MetriNet is also
not connected to the PC. It will then revert to the stored default – the last
successful BOOTP assignment. Connect cable from MetriNet to the PC
after that one minute. You can now check the IP connection to the MetriNet
at that address by entering a ping command at the Windows OS command
prompt, for example
“>ping 192.168.0.30.”
You should see a response as
shown below. In addition, you can try an
“>arp -a”
command to show all
current connections and associated MAC addresses. You should see the
new IP address of 192.168.0.30 showing up.
