Section 2: Basic Installation

AXIS 640/642 Token Ring Print Server:

Start a DOS window. Type the following command:

arp -s 802.5 <Internet address> <node address> ping <Internet address>

arp -d <Internet address>

Example:

arp -s 802.5 192.168.3.191 00-02-31-48-00-61 ping 192.168.3.191

arp -d <192.168.3.191>

The host will return Reply from 192.168.3.191... or some similar message. This indicates that the address has been set and the communication is established.

Notes: ❏ Due to a bug in the Windows 95 implementation of arp you must first, if you have an empty arp table (seen with arp -a), ping an existing unit on your network before setting the IP number of your AXIS 540/640.

❏Please note that when you execute the ping command for the first time, you will experience a significantly longer response time than is usual.

❏The arp -dcommand is advised so that the Internet to Ethernet address information is stored as a dynamic parameter within the host’s cache memory. Failure to execute this command will mean that the mapping is static and consequently installed permanently on the host.
