Setting the IP address using arp/ping
Refer to the appropriate section below to assign an IP address to your AXIS 5900 using
arp/ping:
Windows
Open a Command Prompt and enter the following syntax:
The host will return
reply from
192.168.3.191
, or a similar message. This indicates that
the address has been set and that communication is established. You are now ready to print
using FTP or Reverse Telnet.
UNIX, Mac OS X
Open a Terminal and enter the following syntax:
The host will return
psname is alive
, or a similar message. This indicates that the address
has been set and that communication is established. You are now ready to print using FTP

•
The Ethernet Address is the same as the serial number, found on the print server’s underside label.
Enter the Ethernet Address in the same format as in the example above.
•
Setting the IP address with
arp
and
ping
is only possible in the first ten minutes after re-booting
the print server.
•
When you execute the
ping
command for the first time, you may experience a significantly longer
response time than usual.
•
The
arp
command varies between different UNIX systems.
•
You need root privileges on your UNIX system in order to execute the
arp
command and run
axin-
stall
(refer to the AXIS 5900 User’s Manual for more information)
.
•
Some BSD type systems expect the host name and serial number in reverse order. Furthermore IBM
AIX systems will require the additional argument
ether
.
Example
:
arp -s ether
<host name> <Ethernet Address>
temp
