Setting through RARP

RARP is a protocol for assigning IP addresses, which have been registered on a RARP server to each host on the TCP/IP network. The printer will acquire an IP address when it is turned on.

•This function is not available unless there is a RARP server on the network.

•[RARP protocol] of the Fast EtherNet needs to be set to [ENABLE]. If it is set to [DISABLE], change the setting to [ENABLE], referring to Printer Preparation.

The following description uses the SunOS4.1.x RARP server as an example. If you use any other OS, including the SystemV series, make the same settings according to the manual of your workstation.

1Register the IP address of the Ehternet board and host name in the /etc/hosts file

Example: If the IP Address is “192.168.20.127” and host name is “OP8C”.

192.168.20.127 OP8C

2 Add a combination of the Ethernet address and host name to	English
the /etc/ethers file. The host name is the same as that
registered in the /etc/hosts file.
Example: If the Ethernet address of the Fast EtherNet is
00:80:92:00:11:BC.

00:80:92:00:11:BC OP8c

3Start RARPD.

#rarpd -a

•For starting the rarpd, see the manual for your workstation.

•It is useful to set up your workstation so that it will start up from a file such as /etc/rc, as the rarpd is required at each start-up.

4Switch the printer on.
