Chapter 7 - 7
If the unit already has an IP address, these procedures will not work. However, you can
TELNET to the unit to change the IP parameters.
7.1.3.2 Assigning IP Address with ARP
The Network Interface Board 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.
You can use BOOTPL32 to configure the IP address instead of ARP.
1. From Windows, enter the MS/DOS box. At the command prompt enter:
ping XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX: any valid IP address on your network - not the print server
The identified unit should reply
arp -s YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY 00-40-af-ZZ-ZZ-ZZ
YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY: IP address of the Network Interface Board
00-40-af-ZZ-ZZ-ZZ: MAC Address of the Network Interface Board
The entry should be accepted.
ping YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY
YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY: IP address of the Network Interface Board
Request should time out.
2.
Recycle the power on the printer or let the Network Interface Board reset itself. The
Network Interface Board will produce a status page that should include the entered IP
address.
3. When the Network Interface Board is up again, at the command prompt, enter:
ping YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY
YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY: IP address of the Network Interface Board
Continue until you get a reply.
Note: This only enters the IP address; you must use the Telnet facility or the HTML
pages accessed by MAP or Web Browser facility to enter the other IP parameters.
7.1.3.3 Assigning IP Address with BOOTPL32
You may provide the IP address and other IP parameters to the Network Interface Board on
32 Bit TCP/IP Stack (Windows NT & Windows 95/98) using the BOOTPL32.exe program.
This program uses the BOOTP protocol. The Network Interface Board 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.
This NT system cannot be operating as an active DHCP Server.
1. Reset the Network Interface Board.
Note: The Network Interface Board issues the BOOTP request for a finite period of
time. The print server must be freshly reset for this program to work.
