Keep the status sheet handy for the Ethernet (MAC) address.
It should show that TCP/IP is enabled but that the Protocol
address is not configured.
If the unit already has an IP address, these procedures will
not work. However, you can TELNET to the unit to change
the IP parameters.
Assigning IP Address with ARP
This procedure uses the BOOTP protocol. The NIC must be
on the same network segment as the workstation that you are
using to configure it. The TCP/IP stack must be installed and
operating.
You can use ntBOOTP Lite to configure the IP address instead
of ARP.
1. From Windows, enter the MS/DOS box. At the command
prompt enter:
ping
[any valid IP address on your network - not the
print server]. The identified unit should reply
arp -s
[IP address of the NIC] [MAC Address of the
NIC]. The entry should be accepted
ping
[IP address of the NIC]. Request should time out
2. Recycle the power on the printer or let the NIC reset
itself. The NIC will produce a status page that should
include the entered IP address.
3. When the NIC is up again, at the command prompt, enter:
ping
[IP address of NIC] (continue until you get a
reply).
Note
This only enters the IP address; you must use the Telnet
facility. See Running TELNET (page 5-47) to enter the other
IP parameters.
