Appendix E - Assign IP Address by ARP


 

Note before IP assignment:
Make sure the PIXORD NC is powered on and connected to the network correctly.
Obtain a unique IP address from your network administrator.
Each PIXORD NC has unique Ethernet address (MAC address), which is recorded as 12 digits serial number labeled at the bottom side of PIXORD C (e.g. 000429xxxxxx).
The following examples uses a PC with IP address 192.168.0.1, and is going to setup the PIXORD NC server to the IP address 192.168.0.200 which its MAC address is 000429000181. Do not use these addresses featured as examples in this document, always consult your network administrator before assigning an IP address.
The IP address assigned to the PIXORD NC shall be the same IP domain (presented as same subnet mask) as the PC IP address. In our case, a PC IP address is 192.168.0.1 and the PIXORD NC is 192.168.0.200, so the subnet mask shall be 255.255.255.0. If a PC subnet mask is 255.255.255.128 or higher, then the domain can't cover 192.168.0.200, so the setting won't take effective.
For speedily installing and easily setting the IP Address, the PIXORD Corporation provides an IP Installer Wizard for you. Please install the application and see the user's manual for detailed description and usage.
In Windows, open DOS window.
Enter DOS by Start > Program > MS-DOS Prompt
Ensure the IP address assigned to PIXORD NC doesn't occupy by other Host.
