Section 3: Installing and Configuring the Print Server
BOOTP Available in UNIX and similar to RARP (although it can operate on the entire network) BOOTP requires a BOOTP daemon on your system. A request made to an active BOOTP daemon initiates a search of the Boot Table for an entry matching the print server’s Ethernet address. If a matching entry is found, the daemon then downloads the Internet address to the print server.
Before you start
System privileges You need root privileges on your UNIX system, or administrator privileges on a Windows NT server.
Ethernet address You need to know the Ethernet address of your AXIS 1440 to perform the installation. The Ethernet address is based on the serial number of your AXIS 1440. For example, an AXIS 1440 with a serial number of 00408C100086 has a corresponding Ethernet address of 00 40 8C 10 00 86. Your print server’s serial number is located on the bottom of the unit.
Internet address Unless you are downloading the Internet address using DHCP, you must obtain an unused Internet address from your network administrator.
Important: ❏ DO NOT use the Internet address presented in the examples in this section when installing your AXIS 1440. Always consult your network administrator before assigning an Internet address.
