Philips 5900 169.254.xxx.xxx, Follow the instructions below to set the IP address using arp/ping

Basic Installation (Wired & Wireless)

Setting the IP Address using ARP/Ping in Windows 95, 98, NT, Me, 2000, XP, 2003

connected it to the network. In the absence of a DHCP server, your Axis Network Print Server will automatically be assigned an IP address through integrated Auto-IP. The Auto-IP address structure is:

169.254.xxx.xxx.

The Auto-IP function will only work when DHCP is enabled in your Axis print server. This function is enabled automatically upon installation of a brand new print server.

The easiest way to make sure DHCP and Auto-IP are enabled is to reset your print server (Factory Default). See “The Test Button” on page 134 for instruction on how to do this.

If you perform a Factory Default on the Axis Network Print Server and you do not have a DHCP server on your network, Auto-IP will automatically set the IP address of the print server.

Start out with making sure that the IP address is available for use. The IP address 192.168.3.191 is used here as an example:

•Ping the IP address by opening a Command Prompt and writing:

ping 192.168.3.191

If the host returns Reply from 192.168.3.191 ... or a similar message, the IP address is already taken.

You can obtain a new and unused IP address from your system administrator.

•Check that the IP address you want to use is not already taken and stored in the host’s cache memory.

Open a Command Prompt and write:

arp -a

If the host lists the IP Address followed by the Physical Address, then the IP address is in use.

You can remove the entry from the cache memory with the command:

arp -d 192.168.3.191

Follow the instructions below to set the IP address using arp/ping.

1. Open a Command Prompt and write:

arp -s <IP address> <Ethernet address> ping -t<IP address>

arp -s 192.168.3.191 00-40-8c-10-00-86 ping -t 192.168.3.191

2.Without interrupting the “ping -t” loop, restart the print server by disconnecting and then re-connecting the Power Adapter.
