arp -sip-address ethernet-address

For example, to assign the address 202.39.74.40 to the print server with MAC address 00 80 C8 14 26 34, use the command:

arp -s 202.39.74.40 0080C8142634

Note: on a UNIX-based system, you will need to have superuser (root) permission to execute the arp command.

3.From the host with the modified ARP table, send an ICMP echo request to the print server using the ping command:

ping 202.39.74.40

When the print server receives an ICMP request at its own Ethernet address, but with a different IP address than the one it was expecting, it changes its IP address setting.

4.The print server will now respond to the new IP address. At this point you can use the telnet interface (as described below) to change the host’s other settings.

Accessing the Telnet Interface

You can access your print server’s telnet interface using an ordinary telnet client program. On many systems, the command to invoke a telnet client is:

telnet ip-address

Where ip-addressis the IP address you have assigned to the print server.

When you first telnet to the print server, it displays its log-in message. At this point you can enter the password you have assigned to your print server. If you have not yet assigned a password, just press Enter.

The print server will then display the telnet interface main menu:

Once you have set the print server’s IP address for the first time (using the method described above), you may wish to change the address or other TCP/IP configuration information such as the local network mask, the default gateway, the accepted
