arp -s yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy 00:c0:02:xx:xx:xx
Where:
yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy is the new IP address assigned to the
LevelOne Printer Server
00:c0:02:xx:xx:xx is the hardware address, as shown on a
sticker on the base of the LevelOne Printer Server.
Note: Windows NT uses "-" instead of ":" in the hardware
address.
2. Enter the commands:
ftp yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy
ftp>get DEFAULTC
ftp>quit
This will reset the configuration to the factory defaults
(including setting the IP address back to 0.0.0.0).
