Section 4 - Chapter 2 - Configuring the OkiLAN 6120e
Most UNIX operating systems support either the RARP or BOOTP protocol. To find out which protocol your operating system supports, request the manual page for the protocol’s daemon (e.g. man bootpd or man rarpd), or see your network manuals. Both protocols require that you add the product’s network hardware address and IP address to a configuration file. See your network documentation for instructions or refer to Appendix B, Application Considerations.
Note: An IP address received from a RARP or BOOTP server is not permanently programmed into the OkiLAN 6120e. Therefore, if you choose this method of assigning the IP address, the RARP or BOOTP server must be available every time the OkiLAN 6120e is powered on or reset. The IP address can be stored permanently using telnet, OkiNet for TCP/IP, OkiNet for NetWare or the OkiNet for VINES utility (may apply to other OkiLAN print server models).
A Winsock compliant BOOTP server is located on the OkiNet for TCP/IP diskette. This has been provided for users who do not have UNIX machines.
Other Utilities
The IP address can also be set from Novell NetWare using the OkiNet for NetWare utility or through the Banyan VINES OkiNet for VINES utility (may apply to other OkiLAN print server models).
Note: The OkiNet for NetWare and OkiNet for VINES utilities can only be used if Novell NetWare or Banyan VINES are installed on your network respectively (may apply to other OkiLAN print server models).
