•OkiNet for NetWare - This windows utility must be run from a Novell NetWare client. See Novell Net- Ware for specific information.

Assigning the IP Address

There are eight different methods for assigning an IP address to the Network Print Server: Gleaning, Static Route Entry, DHCP, RARP, BOOTP and using the Oki- Net utilities. Gleaning, Static Route Entry and RARP require the Network Print Server and the host to be on the same subnet. DHCP and BOOTP also have this restriction unless the network routers are configured to pass these requests. OkiNet does not have this restriction.

Gleaning

If an IP address has not been permanently assigned when the Network Print Server is powered on or reset, it will look for a ping packet on the network. If the Net- work Print Server receives a ping packet within two minutes, it will accept the IP address in the ping packet as its own address.

To use Gleaning, you must have Windows 95/98/Me, Windows NT/2000/XP, or super-user privileges on a UNIX system.

1.Add an entry in the ARP table that assigns an IP address to the hardware address of the Network Print Server. To do this, use the arp command. arp -s <ip_address><hardware_address> temp UNIX Example: arp -s 192.168.42.24 00:02:16:00:00:01 temp Windows 95/98/Me, Windows NT/2000 Example: arp -s 192.168.42.24 00-02-16-00-00-01
