Kodak 8660 Using Configuration Utilities, for class C networks 255.255.0.0 for class B networks

Using Configuration Utilities

Depending on the system, this entry might be called bootps instead of boot’.

To enable BOOTP, use an editor to delete the # sign. If the # sign does not appear, BOOTP is enabled.

Edit the BOOTP configuration file (usually /etc/bootptab) to enter the name, network type (1 for Ethernet), Ethernet address (found on the label on the NIC box), and IP address, subnet mask and gateway of the NIC.

NOTE: Refer to your system documentation to determine how to enter this information.

Some BOOTP host software implementations will not respond to BOOtP requests if you have not included a download filename in the configuration file. If necessary, create a null file on the host and specify the name of this file and its path in the configuration file.

The NIC will load its IP address from the BOOTP server when the printer is powered on.

If you do not have subnets, use one of the following default subnet masks:

255.255.255.0 for class C networks

255.255.0.0 for class B networks

255.0.0.0 for class A networks

NOTE: The type of network you have can be identified by the leftmost group of digits in your IP address. The value of this group ranges from 192 through 255 for Class C networks, 128 through 191 for Class B networks, and 1 through 127 for Class A networks.

3.Enter the address of the gateway with the command SET IP ROUTER. The router address is the desired IP address of the gateway you wish to assign to the NIC. For example:

Local> SET IP ROUTER 192.198.207.1

4.Enter SHOW IP to verify that you have entered the IP information correctly.

5.Press CTRL-D to end the remote console session.
