NetGear Print Server Manual

After you configure the print server as described in “Configuring Your Print Server Using FTP”, choose a printing method as described in Setting the Print Method” to configure each UNIX PC in your network.

5-1 Temporary IP Address Resolution

If the IP address is left at 0.0.0.0 (the default value), a temporary IP address is assigned when the print server is powered on. DHCP, BootP, and RARP are attempted in sequence for finding an address. The newer PS100 series print servers provide a new Auto-IPfeature. If DHCP, BootP, and RARP cannot get an IP address, an internal IP address will be assigned automatically. The address will be in the range from 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.254.254 with subnet mask 255.255.0.0. Reset (power cycle) the print server to get an IP address.

Assigning an IP Address to the Print Server Using DHCP

Using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is possible only if you have a DHCP server with management software that allows you to take advantage of this feature. Otherwise, the IP address of the print server will be unknown, and connection to the print server is not possible. To use DHCP, turn on power to the print server; the DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address to it.

If you do not have a DHCP server and you are assigning an IP address to the print server, you can use BootP, RARP, or ARP.

Assigning an IP Address to the Print Server Using BootP

To assign an IP address using the Bootstrap Protocol (BootP):

Determine the physical address and the device name of the print server.

The factory default name and the physical address are shown on a sticker on the bottom of the unit. The default name on your device is PSxxxxxx.

Log in to the UNIX host as root.

Add the print server to the /etc/hosts file by adding to the file:

IP_Address￿ NAME￿ #￿ Comment￿

Use these definitions for entering the information:

IP_Address is the IP address of your print server.

NAME is the name of your print server.

A sample entry is:

192.10.2.54￿ PS_Rm203￿ #Default￿ name￿ PS123456￿

In the example, a print server with an IP address of 192.10.2.54 is called PS_Rm203 and has a default name of PS123456.

Add to the Boot Table in the /etc/booptab file:

NAME:ht=ether:vm=rfc1024::ha=PA:ip=IP:sm=SM:gw=GW￿
