2. Update, if necessary, your host table and alias name databases as required by your
system.
3. If it is not already running, start the BOOTP daemon, typically by using the
command
bootpd
.
4. Restart the Ethernet adapter to download the IP address, default router address, and
net mask.
The Ethernet adapter can automatically download a customized configuration file from
a TFTP server. To download a file from a TFTP server, add the name of the
configuration file and the IP address of the TFTP server to your boot table. The
configuration file downloads immediately after the Ethernet adapter has received its IP
address.
Assigning a Host Name to the IP Address
If you are using host names, you can map a unique host name to the acquired IP
address. Refer to your system manuals or to your network administrator for instructions
on how the name mapping is performed on your system.
The Ethernet adapter supports WINS, which you should use to set the IP address using
DHCP.
If the host name is not mapped to an IP address, you can use the IP address in place of
the host name when downloading the IP address.
Installing the LPR Spooler
For Windows 3.1, Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95, and Windows 98, you need
an LPR spooler to print via TCP/IP. You can download the spooler software and
self-extracting file WLPRS41.EXE, from www.axis.com/techsup.
To install the LPR spooler
1. Give the Ethernet adapter an IP address and
ping
it. For help, see “Downloading
the IP Address” earlier in this chapter.
2. Download the spooler (the WLPRS41.EXE file) into a temporary directory.
3. Extract the spooler by running WLPRS41.EXE.
4. Start SETUP.EXE and select a spooler directory or create a new directory.
5. Create a Queue setup file by accepting the default value.
6. Start the “Windows LPR spooler” program.
7. Define a new Queue by selecting Setup, Queues, and then Define New Queue.
