The printer-based conÞguration procedure is on the next page. In this
procedure, you use a script provided on the UNIX version of the printerÕs
network utilities diskettes to set the IP parameters listed in the following
table.
IP parameters
Parameter Description
Use RARP/BOOTP Yes/no. SpeciÞes whether the printer should get itÕs IP
address from a RARP or BOOTP response at power-up.
The default is yes. Answer no for a printer-based
conÞguration; this prevents RARP or BOOTP packets
from appearing on the network when the printer is
turned on or reset.
IP address Format is x.x.x.x, where x represents a decimal number
from 0 - 255.
Network mask If you are unsure, leave this blank; the printer will
choose an appropriate mask.
Broadcast address This is the address the printer uses to send broadcast
packets.
Default gateway (router) The address the printer uses to communicate with
devices not on the same network segment.
Allow adaptive
encapsulation
Yes/no. The printer always expects to receive packets in
DIX (Ethernet II) encapsulation. This parameter
speciÞes whether the printer should try IEEE 802.3
encapsulation (with IEEE 802.2 LLC and SNAP
headers) if DIX fails. The default is on. If you specify
off, the printer does not try IEEE 802.3 encapsulation if
DIX fails.
