Basic Installation

Obtain an IP Address

using RARP in

UNIX/Linux

Follow the instructions below to set the IP address using RARP.

Append the following line to your Ethernet Address table. This is typically located in the /etc/ethers file:

<Ethernet address> <host name>

Example:

00:40:8c:10:00:86 npsname

1.Update, if necessary, your host table and alias name databases as required by your system.

2.If it is not already running, start the RARP daemon. This is typically performed using the rarpd -acommand.

3.Restart the print server to download the IP address.

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

Note:

You have to restart the print server to download the IP address.

Obtain an IP address Auto- IP is a scheme where devices allocate themselves an IP address at using Auto-IPrandom from the industry standard subnet of 169.254.x.x. AXIS print servers

are configured to support Auto-IP by default. See also “Auto-IP Addressing” on page 3.

Manual IP address assignment

Set the IP Address

using ARP in

Windows 98/NT/

Me/2000/XP/2003

1. Open a Command Prompt and enter the following commands:

Syntax

Example

arp -s <IP address> <Ethernet address>

arp -s 192.168.3.191 00-40-8c-10-00-86

ping <IP address>

ping 192.168.3.191

2.The host will return reply from 192.168.3.191, or a similar message. This indicates that the address has been set and that communication is established.

3.Log in to the print server’s Web pages (see Using a Web Browser for Print Server Management, on page 87), select Admin Network Settings Detailed View TCP/IP and define Default Router and Subnet Mask. Make sure you first set DHCP, Auto-IP, BOOTP and RARP (...Enabled) to No!

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