2.Start a continuous ping to the Network Print Server. ping <ip_address> Example: ping 192.168.42.24 On some systems, this may require an additional parameter. Some implementations of ping only send out one ping packet which could get lost in transit. Check your system documentation for more information.

3.Connect power to the Network Print Server. The Network Print Server will glean its IP address from the ping packet. This IP address will remain in effect until the Network Print Server is powered off or reset. Therefore, a permanent IP address should be assigned by running the OkiNet for TCP/ IP utility or via telnet.

Note: Gleaning does not work with Windows NT Workstation 3.5.

DHCP

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provides a framework for passing configuration infor- mation to hosts on a TCP/IP network in a client/server fashion. DHCP is based on the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP), adding the capability of automatic allocation of reusable network addresses and additional configu- ration options. DHCP uses the same packet structure as BOOTP so current BOOTP relay agents will also interact with DHCP messages.

DHCP offers dynamic IP address allocation. When a client receives an IP address, it also receives a lease (an amount of time the host may use the address).

The lease times vary from 1 hour to 100 years, or may be infinite. When the lease expires, the host must stop using the address. DHCP may also be used like
