UNIX Configuration 7-6
Use the following procedure to enter the IP Address:
1.
Turn off the printer.
2.
Log in as superuser on a host on the same subnet as the print server. However, if
the server resides on another subnet, complete this procedure to store the IP
address in the print server. Reconnect the print server anywhere on the network,
and then use Telnet or the HTML pages accessed by MAP or a Web Browser util-
ity to change the IP address. See section 8.3 for instructions on using Telnet.
3.
Find the Ethernet address of the EcoLAN 2000E. The address is listed as Hard-
ware Address on the EcoLAN 2000E Network Status Page.
4.
Edit the hosts file (usually /etc/hosts) or use NIS or DIS to add the IP address and
[print server's node name. See the network administrator for the IP address. For
example, a print server with a name of printfast and an IP address of
192.9.200.200 has the following entry:
192.9.200.200 printfast
5.
Add an entry to the arp cache for the Print Server's IP address and Ethernet
address. For example:
arp -s 192.9.200.200 0:40:c8:0:0:ff
6.
Check the printer to see that the 2000E is connected to the network. Turn on the
printer.
7.
Send a ping command the EcoLAN 2000E to verify it is running on the network.
For example:
ping 192.9.200.200 or
ping printfast
The EcoLAN 2000E will not respond to this ping command but it will read its IP
address from the packets.
8.
Turn the printer off and back on again and then send the ping command again to
verify that the print server obtained its IP address. If the Print Server has the
address, the result is a confirmation message:
192.9.200.200 is alive
9.
Remove the entry from the arp cache using the following command. Specify the
Print Server either by its IP address or by its name. For example:
arp -d printfast
