HP 310X, 175X manual Using the arp and ping commands, Procedure

Using the arp and ping commands

for HP Jetdirect 175x external print server/Internet connector for USB and HP Jetdirect 310x external print server/Internet connector for

USB

You can configure a print server with an IP address using an ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) command from a supported system. The protocol is not routable, that is, the workstation from which the configuration is made must be located on the same network segment as the print server.

Using the arp and ping commands with HP Jetdirect print servers requires the following:

●Windows NT/2000 or UNIX system configured for TCP/IP operation.

●HP Jetdirect firmware version x.08.03 or later.

●LAN hardware address (MAC or station address) of the server (specified on its configuration page, or on a label attached to the back).

●Note that on some systems, superuser rights may be required for the arp command.

After an IP address is assigned via arp and ping commands, use other tools (such as Telnet, embedded web server, or HP Web Jetadmin software) to configure other IP parameters.

Procedure

Enter the following commands at the system prompt:

arp -s <IP address> <LAN hardware address>

ping <IP address>

where:

<IP address> is the desired IP address to be assigned to the print server. The arp command writes the entries to the ARP cache on the workstation, and the ping command configures the IP address on the print server.
