TCP/IP Access Problem

6.From a workstation attached to this network segment, create an ARP entry. The Ethernet Interface IP address and hardware or MAC address are needed. At the workstation, enter:

arp -s<ipaddress> <MACaddress> ping <ipaddress>

7.Try to ping this IP address to see if the Ethernet Interface can be seen on your network. If the interface does not respond, verify you are on the same network segment as the printer and that the ARP entry was created.

8.Telnet into the Ethernet Interface using the same IP address as above. Log in as root with no password.

9.At system prompt, enter: store tcpip from default config http on

reset

NOTE: This will reset all TCP/IP settings to factory default and reset the Ethernet Interface.

10.Wait five minutes for the Ethernet Interface to reset.

11.Power the printer off and then back on.

12.Wait for the “ETHERNET IS READY” message to display.

13.Set the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway parameters to the desired values. (See “Configuration Tools” on page 52.)
