Chapter 7 TCP/IP NIC Configuration
2. Turn the NIC on so that it immediately sends out a BOOTP request. Wait
one minute to allow the IP address assignment process to complete. You
should see the STAT LED (on the NIC) slow down indicating it knows
about an IP address to use.
3. Try to ping the NIC IP address from a network station to see if it can be
seen on your network.
Note You will be able to communicate with the NIC from network stations on
different subnets if the print server has been told about its default router/
gateway in the BOOTP response from the BOOTP server.
