PocketPro 100S Administrator’s Guide -- Document #40165-110 Rev. A 3-13
Using rarp to
Configure the
Print Server IP
Address
The TROY PocketPro 100S IP address can be configured using the Reverse ARP (rarp) facility on your host
computer. This is done by editing the /etc/ethers file (if this file does not exist, you can create it) with an entry
similar to the following:
00:40:17:00:01:07 TROY_000107
The first entry is the Ethernet address of the TROY print server and the second entry is the name of the TROY
print server (the name must be the same as the one you put in the /etc/hosts file).
If the rarp daemon is not already running, start it (depending on the system the command can be rarpd,
rarpd -a, in.rarpd -a or something else; type man rarpd or refer to your system documentation for
additional information). To verify that the rarp daemon is running on a Berkeley UNIX-based system, type the
following command:
ps -ax | grep -v grep | grep rarpd
For AT&T UNIX-based systems, type:
ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep rarpd
The TROY PocketPro 100S will obtain the IP address from the rarp daemon when it is powered ON.
