Set up your NPS 550
When you have prepared your system to accept a new TCP/IP node, you
are ready to set up your NPS 550 as a node on your network. This is done
by down-loading the new IP address to the NPS 550 using one of these
three methods:
• arp – the easiest method, but requires down-loading of the Internet
address to each new device individually.
• rarp – down-loads the Internet address to each device automatically.
Requires a rarp daemon on your system, and operates within a single
network segment only.
• bootp – similar to rarp, but operates on the entire network. Requires a
bootp daemon on your system.
Note: NPS 550 has an auto-sensing router facility that automatically adopts to
the network topology. However, if you do run into problems in a
complex network, we recommend that you specify the default router and
net mask parameters manually. Refer to the Axis NPS Print Server
Technical Reference for details.
