Unix Systems
Overview
Your Wireless Print Server supports the LPD Unix printing method, which is supported by all
common Unix systems.
You must configure both the Wireless Print Server itself and your Unix system, as described in
the following sections.
Print Server IP Address Configuration
Because it supports dynamic IP Address allocation using DHCP or BOOTP, the Print Server
ships with an IP Address of 0.0.0.0. This is NOT a valid IP Address.
Therefore, you must do ONE of the following:
• Check your DHCP server (if you have one), and determine the IP Address allocated to the
Print Server.
• Configure your BOOTP Server (if you have one), to provide an IP address to the Print
Server, then restart the Print Server.
• Use a Windows platform and run the Setup Wizard or BiAdmin utility to allocate a valid
IP Address to the Print Server.
• Add an entry to the arp table to associate the hardware address of the Print Server with
the desired IP address, as follows:
arp -s IP_Address 00:c0:02:xx:xx:xx
Where:
IP_Address is the IP Address you wish to assign to the Print Server.
00:c0:02:xx:xx:xx is the hardware address of the Print Server.
Example
arp -s 192.168.0.21 00:c0:02:12:34:56
You should then assign this IP address to the Print Server using your Web Browser, as
described in Chapter 6 - Web-based Management.
Note:
The hardware address of the Print Server is shown on a sticker on the base of the device.
Other Print Server Configuration
The recommended method to configure the Print Server is to use the Web-based interface, as
described in Chapter 6 - Web-based Management.
• Ensure that the TCP/IP settings are correct for you network.
• The logical printers (e.g. L1) must be configured correctly to match your system.
