Axis Communications 540+, 560 user manual Automatic IP address assignment

Basic Installation

Notes:

The ability to set the IP address with ARP and PING will only be enabled the first 10 minutes after restarting the print server.

You need root privileges on your UNIX, Linux and Mac OS X system, or administrator priv- ileges on a Windows NT server to set the IP address using RARP, BOOTP, DHCP and to add an entry to the ARP table with the command 'arp -s'.

When assigning an IP address manually, you must utilize a unique IP address that is not already in use in your network.

Automatic IP address assignment

Obtain an IP address If you have a DHCP server on your network, your print server will automatically with DHCP obtain an IP address when you connect it physically to the network. The IP

address will appear on the test page that is printed when you press the test button once. The test button is located on the long-end side of the print server.

Obtain an IP Address Below is an example of how to set the IP address of the print server using using BOOTP BOOTP. Append the following entry to your boot table. This is typically

in UNIX/Linux performed by editing the file: /etc/bootptab

<host name>:ht=<hardware type>:vm=<vendor magic>:\ :ha=<hardware address>:ip=<IP address>:\ :sm=<subnet mask>:gw=<gateway field>

Example:

npsname:ht=ether:vm=rfc1048:\

:ha=00408c100086:ip=192.168.3.191:\

:sm=255.255.255.0:gw=192.168.1.1

1.If necessary, update your host table and alias name databases as required by your system.

2.If it is not already running, start the BOOTP daemon. This is typically performed using the bootpd command.

3.Restart the print server to download the IP address, default router address,

and subnet mask. The print server can automatically download a customized config file from a TFTP server. Just add the name of the config file and the TFTP server’s IP address to your boot table. The config file is downloaded immediately after the print server receives its IP address.

4.You have now successfully set the IP address of the print server. Proceed to “Making Network Printers available for printing on your PC” on page 18.
