NetGear Print Server Manual
Assigning an IP Address to the Print Server Using ARP
To assign an IP address using the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP):
1.Determine the physical address and the device name of the print server.
The factory default name and the physical address are shown on a sticker on the bottom of the unit. The default name on your device is PSxxxxxx.
2.Log in to the UNIX host as root.
3.Add the print server to the /etc/hosts file by adding to the file:
IP_Address NAME # Comment
Use these definitions for entering the information:
IP_Address is the IP address of your print server.
NAME is the name of your print server.
A sample entry is:
192.10.2.54 PS_Rm203 #Default name PS123456
In the example, a print server with an IP address of 192.10.2.54 is called PS_Rm203 and has a default name of PS123456.
4.Compare the physical address with the IP address of the print server, using the ARP command as follows:
arp
Use these definitions for entering the information:
NAME is the name of your print server.
00:c0:02:xx:yy:zz is the physical address of the print server. A sample entry is:
arp
5.To assure that an IP address has been assigned, check the IP address to MAC address association using the ping command:
ping NAME
62
