Set An IP Address

Setting from Unix Operating Systems
Perform these steps to enter the IP Address using ARP and
telnet from a Unix OS. Some DocuPrint network printers
do not support telnet. For these printers, enter the IP
address from the Control Panel as described in the
previous section.
1
Use a text editor to open the /etc/hosts file.
2 Add the following line: x.x.x.x name , where x.x.x.x is
the IP address you are assigning and name is the host
name.
3
Save the /etc/hosts file.
4 Create a static ARP entry by typing one of the following
commands, depending on your system:
• arp -s ether name aa:aa:aa:aa:aa:aa[Enter] (no leading
zeros: RS-6000)
• arp -s name aa:aa:aa:aa:aa:aa[Enter] (no leading zeros:
most UNIX systems)
• arpbypass set name 0xaa. 0xaa. 0xaa. 0xaa. 0xaa.
0xaa[Enter] (AT&T and NCR)
where aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa is the Ethernet Address
For example, on a SunOS system if the Ethernet Address
was "0040C800012B" and the host name was Alpha you
would type: arp -s alpha 0:40:C8:0:1:2B
The Ethernet Address can be found on the
Configuration Sheet. If you are using a Xerox
CentreDirect External Print Server (External
Ethernet Adapter) the Ethernet Address can be
found on a label located on the bottom of the
CentreDirect.
Telnet only works if the device is on the same subnet as the
host (i.e. computer or workstation).
