❏A valid IP address for the print server. Ask your network
administrator for an IP address which does not cause conflicts
with any other device on the network. If you are the network
administrator, choose an address within your subnet which
does not conflict with any other device.
❏The MAC (Ethernet hardware) address of the print server.
You can find out the MAC address on a status sheet.
Checking the LAN
First, you need to check that the computer can reach to other
computer in the same segment, as follows:
1. Set the default gateway to the host on which you are setting
up the print server.
If there is a server or a router which acts as a gateway, enter
the address of the server or the router. If there is no gateway,
enter the IP address of your computer as a gateway address.
2. Assume that you want to reach to the computer having the IP
address “192.168.100.101”. Check that the computer is
reachable by “pinging” it from the command line:
ping 192.168.100.101
3. If the computer is reachable, you can see the following result
(the exact form of the message depends on your operating
system, and the time may vary):
64 bytes from 192:168:100:101:icmp_seq=0. Time=34.ms
4. If the computer is unreachable, you may see something like
this:
PING 192:168:100:101:56 data bytes
