How to configure via ARP / PING

The arp command must be set on the same network segment as the MPI Tech device. (If your PC or host has an IP address of 194.192.134.90 and you are using a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 the MPI Tech device must have an IP address of 194.192.134.x, where x is an number between 1 and 254).

An IP address is a unique address for a host in a TCP/IP network. It is therefore IMPORTANT for you to have a valid IP address at hand, which is not used by anyone else on the network, before issuing this command.

Log on as an administrator and issue the arp command from the command prompt.

Syntax:
arp -s <IP Address> <MAC Address>

The MAC address can be found on the rear side of the MPI Tech device. If you want to use the IP address: 194.192.134.86 for the MPI Tech device and the MAC address is 00036e00483a. Type:
From DOS Command Prompt:
```
arp -s 194.192.134.86 00-03-6E-00-48-3A
```
From UNIX:
```
arp -s 194.192.134.86 00:03:6E:00:48:3A
```
Now you have added an entry in the arp table for the MPI Tech device. Use the ping command to give the MPI Tech device it's new IP address. Issue the ping command from the command prompt, the format is:

Syntax:
ping <IP Address>

For example if you want to use the IP address: 194.192.134.86 for the MPI Tech device, Type:
```
ping 194.192.134.86
```
