3.If the host returns Reply from 192.168.3.191 ... or a similar message, the IP address has been set successfully.

Interrupt the “ping -t” loop by pressing CTRL+C on your keyboard.

If the host returns Request timed out ...

you need to perform a Factory Default on the print server and perform steps 1-3 above again. See Performing a Factory Default, on page 134.

4.Log in to the print server’s Web pages (see Using a Web Browser for Print Server Management, on page 92), select Admin Network Settings Detailed View TCP/IP Network and define the Default Router and Subnet Mask.

You have now set the IP address of the print server. Continue to Configuring the Axis Network Print Server for Wireless Printing, on page 23.

Important:

•The ability to set the IP address with ARP and PING will only be enabled the first 10 minutes after restarting the print server.

•When you execute the ping command for the first time, you will experience a significantly longer response time than usual.

Setting the IP Address

using ARP in UNIX

and Mac OS X

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 Terminal 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 Terminal 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.
