Printing from UNIX:
Configuring the Print Server
The first step in installing the network card under UNIX is to set up
the IP address, Subnet Mask and Gateway. This section explains
one way to set them up from a UNIX workstation.
•
The network addresses used in this manual are shown as
examples only. Network addresses used in your installation must
be generated for your own network.
•
Log in as [root] to change the configuration of the Print Server. By
default, there is no root password.
The following explanation uses Sun Solaris 2.8 (Solaris 8) as an
example. The actual commands may differ between versions of
UNIX, so refer to the workstation manuals for more information.
1. Log in as root to the workstation.
If you do not have superuser rights, the network manger should
conduct the configuration.
2. If the print server does not have an IP addresses already
assigned, use the
arp
command to set a temporary IP address.
Example
For IP address 172.68.20.127 and network card address
00:80:92:01:00:D2:
# arp –s 172.168.20.127 00:80:92:01:00:D2 temp
Important!
If an incorrect IP address, Subnet Mask or Gateway is entered,
the network may go down or other damage may occur. Check
the address with your network manager.
