Philips 5900 user manual Assigning an IP Address to the Print Server

Basic Installation (Wired & Wireless)

Assigning an IP Address to the Print Server

Before you Start If you have a DHCP server on your network, your print server will receive an IP address automatically. The IP address will then appear on the test page you printed earlier.

If you are not working in a DHCP network, you need to set the IP-address of the print server manually.

Follow these instructions in order to assign an IP address to your Axis

Network Print Server.

System Privileges You need root privileges on your UNIX system, or administrator privileges on a Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 to:

•set the IP address using RARP, BOOTP, DHCP

•add an entry to the ARP table with the command 'arp -s'

Ethernet Address You need to know the Ethernet address of your Axis Network Print Server in order to assign an IP address to it. The Ethernet address is based upon the serial number of your Axis Network Print Server. This means, for example, that an Axis Network Print Server with the serial number of 00408C100086, will have the corresponding Ethernet address of 00 40 8C 10 00 86. The serial number is located on the underside label of the print server.

IP Address Unless you are downloading the IP address using DHCP or Auto-IP, you must obtain an unused IP address from your network administrator.

Important:

DO NOT use the IP addresses used in the following examples when installing your Axis Network Print Server. Consult your network administrator before assigning an IP address to your Axis Network Print Server.
