Hitachi Koki USA DDC 35n user manual Setting up the NIC, Assigning IP Address with arp & ping

TCP/IP Configuration Chapter 6

6.1 Installation in a Windows Environment

6.1.1 Setting up the NIC

The NIC must be given IP address and routing information to be used with TCP/IP. This can be done with MAP if you have a Net- Ware connection on your network, or with AppleTalk NIManage for Macintosh utility program if there is an Apple Macintosh on the net- work. Follow the instructions for these programs which are docu- mented elsewhere in this manual. If you cannot use these programs, you can use either the ARP procedure or the BOOTP.

Prior to running these programs, install the NIC in your printer.

Power-up the printer. Keep the status report handy for the Ethernet MAC Address. It should show that TCP/IP is enabled, but that the IP address is not configured. If the unit already has an IP address, these procedures will not work. However, you can Telnet to the unit or use the Web pages accessed by MAP or a Web Browser to change the IP parameters.

6.1.2 Assigning IP Address with arp & ping

The NIC must be on the same network segment as the workstation that you are using to configure it. The TCP/IP stack must be installed and operating.

See 6.1.3 Assigning the IP Address with BOOTP for details on using BOOTP instead of ARP to assign IP addresses.

1.From Windows, enter the MS-DOS box.

2.At the command prompt type:

>ping <any valid IP address on your network

- not the NIC>

The identified unit should reply.

>arp -s <NIC IP address> <NIC MAC Address>

The entry should be accepted.
