CONFIGURING THE M208 FOR TCP/IP: M208 Configuration 37
Manual Configuration Through the Network with ARP
To manually configure the M208 using the network, go to a host terminal and do the
following:
1 Log on to your system as root user.
2 Assign an IP address and IP name to the M208 in your host table (/etc/hosts,
hosts nis map, or DNS name tables).
3 Find the Ethernet address for the M208 on the bottom of the unit. It must be
entered as part of this procedure.
4 Use the arp command to add an entry in the host's arp able. This is the most com-
mon syntax for this command:
arp -s
ipname ethernetaddress
where ipname is the M208’s IP name or IP address and ethernetaddress is that of
the M208.
If this syntax doesn’t apply, look in your host’s reference manual to find the
proper syntax for the arp command.
5 telnet to the M208. This will bring up a login screen.
telnet
ipname
6 Log into the Print Server as root.
7 At the password prompt, press <Enter>. No password is required at this point as
the M208 is still unconfigured.
This WARNING message is normal at this point so you can ignore it:
STORED AND CURRENT VALUES DIFFER
You should now see a prompt displayed that has the M208 IP address followed by
a colon, then root.
ipaddress
:root>
8 Store the new IP address and netmask in EEPROM so that the M208 can remem-
ber its configuration after reboots. Enter:
store tcpip
ifnum
addr
ipaddress
store tcpip
ifnum
mask
netmask
