Running the config-IP script
|
-
Connect the printer to a network.
ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) requires that the printer be connected on the same physical network segment as the host.
-
Run the script
config-IP:
-
In the directory where you placed your printer's network utilities, change (cd) to the
bin
subdirectory.
-
Type the name of the script, redirecting the output to a file. Type:
-
Enter the information when prompted by the script.
Note
The script accepts IP addresses that have empty fields (for example, 123..40.10). The script does not detect this error. Double-check the IP addresses you enter.
-
Log in as
root.
-
Make an entry into the host's ARP table defining the printer's IP/hardware address pair. In general, this requires a command corresponding to one of the following examples:
|
arp -s
printer-IP-address hardware-address
(for BSD systems)
or
arp -s ether
printer-IP-address hardware-address
(for System V)
See your host system documentation for specifics of this command.
Note
The hardware address in the
arp
command example is the printer's Ethernet Address for PhaserShare Ethernet interfaces or the Token Ring Address for PhaserShare Token Ring cards.
|
-
Turn on the printer.
-
Execute the
ping
command from the host:
ping
printer-IP-address
-
Use the host spooling system (for example,
lpr
or
lp
) to send to the printer the file you created in Step
2b. This stores the IP addressing information in the printer's internal memory, where it is retained over a reset or power cycle. For more information on setting up queues, see
TCP/IP Host Configuration (UNIX).
-
Reset the printer.
