Set up your NPS 530/532
When you have prepared your system to accept a new TCP/IP node, you
are ready to set up your NPS 530/532 as a node on your network. This is
done by down-loading the new IP address to the NPS 530/532 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 530/532 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.
