TCP/IP Configuration
Chapter 6
6.1.1 Setting up the NIC
The NIC must be given IP address and routing information to be
used with TCP/IP. This can be done with MAP if you have a
NetWare connection on your network, or with AppleTalk NIManage
for Macintosh utility program if there is an Apple Macintosh on the
network. Follow the instructions for these programs which are docu-
mented elsewhere in this manual. If you cannot use these programs,
you can use either the ARP procedure or the BOOTP.
Prior to running these programs, install the NIC in your printer.
Power-up the printer. Keep the status report handy for the Ethernet
MAC Address. It should show that TCP/IP is enabled, but that the IP
address is not configured. If the unit already has an IP address, these
procedures will not work. However, you can Telnet to the unit or use
the Web pages accessed by MAP or a Web Browser to change the IP
parameters.
6.1.2 Assigning IP Address with arp & ping
The NIC must be on the same network segment as the workstation
that you are using to configure it. The TCP/IP stack must be
installed and operating.
See 6.1.3 Assigning the IP Address with BOOTP for details on using
BOOTP instead of ARP to assign IP addresses.
1. From Windows, enter the MS-DOS box.
2. At the command prompt type:
>ping <any valid IP address on your network
- not the NIC>
The identified unit should reply.
>arp -s <NIC IP address> <NIC MAC Address>
The entry should be accepted.
