ASI6585/ASI6685 IP address recovery
In the event that the IP address of an ASI6585/ASI6685 is unknown, a combination of the ASI6585/ASI6685 MAC
address and bootps.exe can be used to set the IP address back to a known state. The following steps detail
setting the IP address back to the default shipping IP address and netmask: (this utility should be run from a
network connected system, not necessarily the physical system where the card is installed unless it too is
connected to the same IP network)
1. Look on the back of the orange faceplate (the daughterboard) of the ASI6585/ASI6685 and record the
MAC address printed on the white, AudioScience part number label.
This example uses 00:60:2B:06:D1:DA.
2. Download bootps.exe software from here:
http://www.audioscience.com/internet/products/livewire/bootps.exe
3. To set the ASI6585/ASI6685 adapter IP address, from a Cmd prompt go
bootps –m 255.255.255.0 –set 00-60-2b-06-d1-da/192.168.1.182
Typically, the ASI6585/ASI6685 does not need to be restarted for the new IP address to be “active”. In the event
that the PC cannot connect to the new IP address, try rebooting the PC that has the ASI6585/ASI6685 in it. If the
new IP address still does not work, run bootps.exe a second time.
