Using ARP

2. Find the Ethernet address for the PrintNet by printing a
configuration or reading it from the control panel. It must be
entered as part of this procedure.
3. Use the
arp
command to add an entry into the Unix station
ARP table for this PrintNet. Here is the most common syntax
for this command:
arp -s ipaddress ethernetaddress
Example for Microsoft TCP stacks:
arp -s 192.75.11.9 00:08:96:07:00:60
This example specifies a PrintNet using IP address
192.75.11.9
and Ethernet address
00:08:96:07:00:60
.
4. Verify that the ARP entry was properly applied.
arp -a
You should see an entry in the listed ARP table with the IP
address and Ethernet address specified in step 3.
5. Try to
ping
this IP address to see if the PrintNet can be seen
on your network.
At this point, you should be able to communicate with the PrintNet
from your local Unix station. This means the printer knows about an
IP address and subnet mask and has these settings in its current
memory. However, if the PrintNet is shut off, these settings will be
lost unless you store them in flash memory, as follows:
1. Load a Web browser on your Windows station and direct it to
the URL:
http://NICIPaddress/networkConf.html
(e.g., http://192.75.11.9/networkConf.html).
NOTE: If prompted for a “User ID” and password first, type in
root
for the ID and press ENTER at the password prompt
(since there is no default password).
2. At the “Network Configuration” HTML form that displays, click in
the field below the “IP Address” heading and type in the IP
address for the PrintNet.
