IP Assignments for Initial Contact: Method Overview

an agent on your own segment), do all or most of your configurations, and then move the Intermate1xx to the segment containing that IP address. For information on how to install the IMCU, see “The Intermate Management and Configuration Utility (IMCU)” [page 78].

•Addresses can be typed in to the input fields in the “Configuration [TCP/IP]” page. For obvious reasons, this cannot be used to establish initial contact with the print server

As default in the Intermate1xx, RARP and BOOTP are enabled while DHCP is disabled. It is a good idea to make sure that only the method you use is enabled, while all other possibilities are disabled, because the unit uses a fixed boot-sequence.

The order of look up is DHCP, BOOTP, and RARP. There will be a time-out in connection with each unsuccessful wait to be contacted by a server of IP addresses.

After finding that there is no RARP server on the network, the unit will then check the current IP address. If it is 0.0.0.0, the system will wait for an ARP/PING mapping its MAC address to an IP address. If the current IP address is different from 0.0.0.0, the system will use whatever address is stored cur- rently.

When you are finished establishing contact as explained below, you can continue with your configurations following the order of the chapters in this book. It is often a good idea to print the Main Status Pages to document your configurations.
