Section 4 - Chapter 2 - Configuring the OkiLAN 6120i Gleaning If an IP address has not been permanently assigned when the OkiLAN 6120i is powered on or reset, it will look for a ping packet on the network. If the OkiLAN 6120i receives a ping packet within two minutes, it will accept the IP address in the ping packet as its own address. To use Gleaning, you must have Windows 95/98, Windows NT/2000, or super-user privileges on a UNIX system. 1. Add an entry in the ARP table that assigns an IP address to the hardware address of the OkiLAN 6120e. To do this, use the arp command. arp -s temp UNIX Example: arp -s 192.168.42.24 00:02:16:00:00:01 temp Windows 95/98, Windows NT/2000 Example: arp -s 192.168.42.24 00-02-16-00-00-01 2. Start a continuous ping to the OkiLAN 6120e. ping Example: ping 192.168.42.24 On some systems, this may require an additional parameter. Some implementations of ping only send out one ping packet which could get lost in transit. Check your system documentation for more information. 3. Connect power to the OkiLAN 6120i. The OkiLAN 6120i will glean its IP address from the ping packet. This IP address will remain in effect until the OkiLAN 6120i is powered off or reset. Therefore, a permanent IP address should be assigned by running the OkiNet for TCP/IP utility or via telnet. Note: Gleaning does not work with Windows NT Workstation 3.5.
