OkiLAN 7120e Network User’s Guide

UNIX
Overview
The OkiLAN 7120e supports many protocols such as LPD, FTP, TELNET,
SNMP and IPP, and works within the UNIX environment.
To use the network card within the UNIX environment, the following steps
are required:
Configuration
Network Interface card setting
The first step in installing the network card under UNIX is to set up the IP
address, Subnet Mask and Gateway. This section explains one way to set
them up from a UNIX workstation.
> The network addresses used in this manual are shown as
examples only. Network addresses used in your installation
must be generated for your own network.
> Login as [root] to change the configuration of the OkiLAN
7120e.
> If an incorrect IP address, Subnet Mask or Gateway is
entered, the network may go down or other damage may
occur. Check the address with your network manager.
The following explanation uses Sun Solaris 2.8 (Solaris 8) as an example.
The actual commands may differ between versions of UNIX, so refer to the
workstation manuals for more information.
1. Log in as [root] to the workstation
> If you do not have superuser rights, the network manager should
conduct the configuration.
2. If the OkiLAN 7120e does not have an IP address already
assigned, use the arp command to set a temporary IP
address.
Example: for IP address 192.68.20.127 and network card address
00:80:87:01:00:D2
# arp –s 192.168.20.127 00:80:87:01:00:D2 temp
The Ethernet (MAC) address 00:80:87:01:00:D2 in the above example
can be determined from the network card self-diagnostic test.
