Appendix C: Unix Systems

Overview

Your Wireless Print Server supports the LPD Unix printing method, which is supported by all common Unix systems.

You must configure both the Wireless Print Server itself and your Unix system, as described in the following sections.

Wireless Print Server IP Address Configuration

Because it supports dynamic IP address allocation using DHCP or BOOTP, the Wireless Print Server ships with an IP address of 0.0.0.0. This is NOT a valid IP address.

Therefore, you must do ONE of the following:

Check your DHCP server (if you have one), and determine the IP address allocated to the Wireless Print Server.

Configure your BOOTP Server (if you have one), to provide an IP address to the Wireless Print Server, then restart the Wireless Print Server.

Use a Windows platform and run the Setup Wizard utility to allocate a valid IP address to the Wireless Print Server.

Add an entry to the arp table to associate the hardware address of the Wireless Print Server with the desired IP address, as follows:

arp -s IP_Address 00:c0:02:xx:xx:xx

Where:

IP_Address is the IP address you wish to assign to the Wireless Print Server. 00:c0:02:xx:xx:xx is the hardware address of the Wireless Print Server.

Example

arp -s 192.168.0.21 00:c0:02:12:34:56

You should then assign this IP address to the Wireless Print Server using your Web browser, as described in IP Assignment.

Note: The hardware address of the Wireless Print Server is shown on a sticker on the base of the device.
