Using ARP
At this point, you should be able to communicate with the PrintNet from your local Unix station. This means the printer knows about an IP address and subnet mask and has these settings in its current memory. However, if the PrintNet is shut off, these settings will be lost unless you store them in flash memory, as follows:
1.Load a Web browser on your Unix station and direct it to the URL “http://PrintNetIPaddress/networkConf.html” (e.g., “http://192.75.11.9/networkConf.html”).
NOTE: If prompted for a “User ID” and password first, type in “ root” for the ID and press ENTER at the password prompt since there is no default password.
2.At the “Network Configuration” HTML form that displays, click in the field below the “IP Address” heading and type in the IP address for the PrintNet.
3.Under the “Subnet Mask” heading, enter the PrintNet subnet mask.
NOTE: If you would like to communicate with the PrintNet from across routers, you will need to fill in an entry within the “Routing” section. Please see “Communicating Across Routers” on page 64 for further details.
4.Click on the SUBMIT button when done and physically repower the print server to make sure the new settings are in effect.
