Getting Started
Assigning an IP Address
PrintServer II User and Reference Guide 43
Gleaning: To use this method, complete these steps:
A method where the print server uses the IP Address of the first ping packet that is sent
to its Hardware Address.
1. Add an entry to the ARP table that assigns an IP address to an Ethernet (Hardware)
address.
The syntax for this command is: arp -s " temporary ipaddress of
print server" "MAC Address (print server hardware
address) "
2. Power cycle the printer.
3. As the printer reboots, begin a continuous ping to the address assigned previously.
4. When the
PSII begins to respond, stop the ping activity.
In Windows, Ctrl + C, halts the pinging.
5. Telnet to the PSII and assign the appropriate IP address, subnet mask and gateway
if applicable.
6. Once this is complete, reset the PSII.
Example • You would type: arp -s 10.3.50.59 00-40-68-1D-B9-86
Note • Most UNIX systems use a continuous ping.
To use a continuous ping from a Windows host you must issue the
command: ping -t "ipaddress".
