TCP/IP Network Configuration 4-15
Using DHCP to Configure the Print Server
IP Address
TROY XCD print servers support the DHCP protocol
for automatically loading the IP address from a host
computer that supports DHCP. By default, the print
server will automatically try DHCP, BOOTP, and rarp
before using the IP address configured in the server.
Note: This procedure may take about a minute, so the
print server cannot be accessed via TCP/IP during that
time. If a faster IP address load is required, select the
desired IP configuration method (AUTO, DHCP,
BOOTP, RARP, STATIC) via XAdmin, WebXAdmin,
or the print server console SET IP METHOD
command (STATIC is used when the IP address is
manually entered).
Using arp and ping to Configure the Print
Server IP Address
The arp and ping method is one of the simplest ways of
configuring the print server IP address (this method
requires V3.27 or later firmware). To use arp and
ping, enter the following commands at the operating
system prompt::
arp -s
ipaddress ethernetaddress
[temp]
ping
ipaddress
where ethernetaddress is the Ethernet address of the
print server and ipaddress is the IP address of the print
server. The temp parameter should be used with UNIX
systems, but is not supported by Microsoft operating
systems. For example, a typical UNIX entry would be:
