9. To verify that the card is configured with the correct IP address,
use the ping utility. At the prompt, type:
ping <IP address>
where
<IP address>
is the assigned address from RARP. The
default IP address is 192.0.0.192.
10. If ping does not respond, see the chapter “Troubleshooting the
HP Jetdirect Print Server.”
Using the arp and ping Commands
You can configure an HP Jetdirect print server with an IP address
using an ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) command from a
supported system. The protocol is not routable, that is, the
workstation from which the configuration is made must be located
on the same network segment as the HP Jetdirect print server.
Using the arp and ping commands with HP Jetdirect print servers
requires the following:
●
Windows or UNIX system configured for TCP/IP operation
●
HP Jetdirect firmware version x.08.55 or later
●
The LAN hardware (MAC) address of the HP Jetdirect print
server (specified on an HP Jetdirect configuration page, or on a
label attached to HP Jetdirect external print servers)
Note
On some systems, superuser rights may be required
for the
arp
command.
After an IP address is assigned via
arp
and
ping
commands, use
other tools (such as Telnet, embedded web server, or HP Web
Jetadmin software) to configure other IP parameters.
To configure a Jetdirect print server, use the following commands.
Depending on the system, the LAN hardware address requires a
specific format.
●
From a DOS prompt (Windows):
arp -s
<IP address> <LAN hardware address>
ping
<IP address>
