Setting the IP Address Using arp/ping Commands
If you are using UNIX or OS/2, you need to use the arp and ping
commands to set the IP address of the interface card. You can also
use these commands with Windows 98, Windows 95, Windows
2000, or Windows NT, if you have correctly installed TCP/IP
networking on these systems. The interface card and host must
be in the same segment.
Note:
Make sure that the Set by PING function is available in the TCP/IP
menu in EpsonNet WinAssist/WebAssist. If it is off, you cannot set the
IP address using arp/ping commands.
Before you start, you will need the following information:
❏
A valid IP address for the interface card. Ask your system
administrator for an IP address which will not cause conflicts
with any other device on the network. If you are the system
administrator, choose an address within your subnet which
will not conflict with any other device.
❏
The MAC (Ethernet hardware) address of the interface card.
This is the hardware serial number of the card, which cannot
be changed. You can check the MAC address on a status sheet.
Checking the LAN
First, you need to check that the interface card can be reached from
the host.
1. Set the default gateway to the host on which you will be
setting up the interface card.
If there is a server or router which acts as a gateway, enter the
address of the server or router. If there is no gateway, enter
the IP address of your computer as a gateway address.
