6.3 Setup Print Server’s IP Address

The print server must have a unique IP address in order to be recognized by

the network.

You can set up the IP address on the various Unix systems using any one of

the following methods:

1. ARP & Ping Assignment (Recommend for Unix)

2. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)

3. BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol)

4. RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol)

The print server will use the last three methods to obtain its IP address

automatically if its IP address is configured as Auto (0.0.0.0).

6.3.1 ARP & Ping Assignment

You can use ARP and Ping commands with a web browser to complete

print server’s IP address setting.

Parameters for the commands are as follows:

arp –s <IP Address> <Ethernet ID>

ping <IP Address>

For example, a print server with the following configuration:

Node ID: 0000B4010101

(The Node ID is printed on the rear side of the print server)

Assign IP address: 203.66.191.12

arp –s 203.66.191.12 00-00-B4-01-01-01

ping 203.66.191.12

At the mean time, print server’s IP will “temporarily” be set to

203.66.191.12 (will restore after reboot). Therefore, you need to run your
