Axis Communications 540/640 manual Node address host name

Section 2: Basic Installation

AXIS 640/642 Token Ring Print Server

If you are a IBM AIX user, you will probably not have access to a rarp daemon. If this is the case, you may use either the arp or bootp methods instead.

1.Append the following line to your Node Address table. This is typically performed using the command /etc/ethers:

<node address> <host name>

Where the node address is either the serial number found on the underside label of the AXIS 640/642 or a Locally Administrated Address.

Example:

00:02:31:48:00:61 npsname

2.Update your host table and alias name databases, as described previously.

3.If it is not already running, start the rarp daemon. This is typically performed using the command rarpd -a.

4.Restart the AXIS 640/642 to down-load the Internet address.
