IP Assignments for Initial Contact: Static IP Assignment Using “ARP and PING”

12.7.Static IP Assignment Using “ARP and PING”

1Make sure that you own PC or terminal is on the same network segment as planned for the Intermate1xx.

2Power the printer and your Intermate1xx On.

3Check the Main Status Pages to find the current IP address for your Intermate1xx. You can print them by pressing the TEST Button for 1-2 seconds, if the unit is attached to a printer.

If the unit has already been assigned an IP address different from 0.0.0.0, you must re-set it in order to use the ARP command. For instructions, see “Restore Factory Defaults: TEST Button” [page 223].

4Insert the relationship between the IP address and the hardware adapter (MAC) address in the ARP cache. The syntax varies according to your system environment. The examples below use the sample IP address 192.168.0.227.

From Windows environments

arp -s 192.168.0.227 00-c0-a2-00-80-1e

Tip:

Windows 95 does not add an entry in the ARP table if it is empty. So, if your ARP command doesn’t work, ping in another IP device in the network and then enter the ARP command again

From UNIX, AIX, OS/2

arp -s 192.168.0.227 00:c0:a2:00:80:1e

Tip:

If you wish to assign a host name to the Intermate1xx, you can insert the relationship between the IP address and the host name in your system host table. For example: 192.168.0.227 ima101-a

Then the host name can be used instead of the IP address in the ARP command above.
