4-16 TCP/IP Network Configuration
arp -s 192.189.207.2 00:40:17:00:c3:e4 temp
ping 192.189.207.2
while a typical Microsoft entry would be:
arp -s 192.189.207.2 00-40-17-00-c3-e4
ping 192.189.207.2
If everything is OK, you will get a message back on the
screen indicating that the print server is alive. If you do
not get such a message, first check the note bellow, and
then try entering the commands again.
Note: This procedure will not work through a router
(gateway) and only works if the print server IP address
has never been configured before. If you have
previously configured an IP address, then use TELNET
as described in Appendix A to change the IP address.
Note: This procedure will not work with Windows 95
unless there are already entries in the Windows 95 arp
table. If there are no entries, you can add one by
pinging a known device on the network (you cannot
ping yourself).
Using rarp to Configure the TROY XCD
Print Server IP Address
The TROY XCD print server 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 XCD_000107
