AXIS 640/642 Token Ring Print Servers:
Type the following commands in the shell window:
The node address is either the serial number found on the
underside label of the AXIS 640/642 or a Locally Administrated
Address.
Example:
The host will return
npsname is alive, or a similar message. This
indicates that the address has been set and that communication is
established.
Notes: ❏ If the host name has not been mapped to an IP address, simply
replace the host name entry with the IP address in the example
above.
❏ The ARP command varies between different UNIX systems.
Some BSD type systems expect the host name and node address in
reverse order.
❏ When you execute the
ping command for the first time, you may
experience a significantly longer response time than is usual.
arp -s 802.5 <host name> <node address> temp
ping <host name>
arp -s 802.5 npsname 00:02:31:48:00:61 temp
ping npsname
