5.0  TCP/IP OPERATION

This section tells how to use the  Print Server with a TCP/IP

network.  Functions described include locating the Print Server on the
network, configuration, initialization, testing, printing, and FLASH
EPROM upgrading. 

5.1 Locating the Print Server on the TCP/IP Network

When used in the TCP/IP environment, the Print Server has one

assigned Internet Address and one printer port.  

5.1.1 Assigning the Internet Address

If it is not possible to use the UCONNECT utility to configure the

units Internet Address, then the following method should be followed:

1. Create an entry in the ARP table using the Unix command :

arp -S [ether] IPaddress NICaddress  where...

IPaddress is the required Internet Address

NICaddress is the units NIC address

2. Use PING to send this new IP address to the NIC address of the 

Print Server:

PING xx.xx.xx.xx where  xx.xx.xx.xx is the IP address above

(continued)

22

NOTE:

This method will only work if the units Internet Address is

currently set to 0.0.0.0 and PING 

will only affect the unit with

the NIC address entered in the ARP table.

Some versions of Unix will require the ‘ether’ command to be
entered as shown
