2.2.2 Alternative method for setting the IP address manually: ARP/Ping

Refer to the appropriate section below to assign an IP address to your AXIS 5400+/AXIS 5600+ using ARP/Ping:

Windows

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

	Syntax	Example
1.	arp -s <IP address> <Ethernet address>	arp -s 192.168.3.191 00-40-8c-18-1c-f0
2.	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.Next, log in to the print server’s web pages ( - See page 12) and define the Default Router and Subnet Mask of your network: choose Admin Network Settings Detailed View TCP/IP. DHCP, Auto-IP, BOOTP and RARP (...Enabled) must first be set to No!

UNIX/Linux, Mac OS X

1. Open a Terminal window and enter the following commands:

	Syntax	Example
1.	arp -s <IP address> <Ethernet address> temp	arp -s 192.168.3.191 00:40:8c:18:1c:f0 temp
2.	ping <IP address>	ping 192.168.3.191

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

3.Next, log in to the print server’s web pages ( - See page 12) and define the Default Router and Subnet Mask of your network: choose Admin Network Settings Detailed View TCP/IP. DHCP, Auto-IP, BOOTP and RARP (...Enabled) must first be set to No!

Notes:

•The Ethernet Address/MAC address is the same as the serial number, found on the print server’s underside label. Enter the Ethernet Address in the same format as in the examples above.

•Setting the IP address with arp and ping is only possible during the first ten minutes after re-booting the print server. Re-boot the print server by disconnecting and then re-connecting its power supply.

•When you execute the ping command for the first time, you may experience a significantly longer response time than usual.

•You need root privileges on your UNIX/Linux and Mac system in order to execute the arp command (refer to the User’s Manual for more information).

•Use the command man arp to get a list of arp commands in UNIX/Linux.
