Configuration Using ARP

3.Use the arp command to add an entry into the Windows station ARP table for the Ethernet Interface. This is the most common syntax for this command:

Syntax:

arp -s <ipaddress> <ethernetaddress>

Example for Microsoft®TCP stacks:

arp -s 192.75.11.9 00-80-72-07-00-60

This example specifies a Ethernet Interface using IP address

192.75.11.9 and Ethernet address 00-80-72-07-00-60.

4.Check if the ARP entry was accepted. arp -a

You should see an entry in the listed ARP table with the IP address and Ethernet address specified in Step 3.

5.Ping this IP address to see if the Ethernet Interface can be seen on your network.

At this point, you should be able to communicate with the Ethernet Interface from your local Windows station. This means the print server knows about an IP address and subnet mask and has these settings in its current memory. However, if the Ethernet Interface is power cycled, these settings will disappear unless you store them into flash memory. To do this:

a.Load a Web browser on your Windows station and direct it to the URL: http://EthernetInterfaceIPaddress/ networkConf.html

(e.g., http://192.75.11.9/networkConf.html).

NOTE:If prompted for a “User ID” and password first, type root for the ID and press ENTER at the password prompt (since there is no password by default).

b.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 Ethernet Interface.
