AXIS 540/640 User’s Manual 29
AXIS 640/642 Token Ring Print Server:
Start a DOS window. Type the following command:
Example:
The host will return Reply from 192.168.3.191... or some
similar message. This indicates that the address has been set and the
communication is established.
Notes: ❏ Due to a bug in the Windows 95 implementation of arp you must
first, if you have an empty arp table (seen with arp -a), ping an
existing unit on your network before setting the IP number of
your AXIS 540/640.
❏ Please note that when you execute the ping command for the first
time, you will experience a significantly longer response time than
is usual.
❏ The
arp -d command is advised so that the Internet to Ethernet
address information is stored as a dynamic parameter within the
host’s cache memory. Failure to execute this command will mean
that the mapping is static and consequently installed permanently
on the host.
arp -s 802.5 <Internet address> <node address>
ping <Internet address>
arp -d <Internet address>
arp -s 802.5 192.168.3.191 00-02-31-48-00-61
ping 192.168.3.191
arp -d <192.168.3.191>
