Using ARP
2.Find the Ethernet address for the NIC by printing a configuration or reading it from the control panel. It must be entered as part of this procedure.
3.Use the arp command to add an entry into the Unix station ARP table for this NIC. Here is the most common syntax for this command:
arp
Example for Microsoft TCP stacks:
arp
This example specifies a NIC using IP address 192.75.11.9 and Ethernet address 00:08:96:07:00:60.
4.Verify that the ARP entry was properly applied. arp
You should see an entry in the listed ARP table with the IP address and Ethernet address specified in step 3.
5.Try to ping this IP address to see if the NIC can be seen on your network.
At this point, you should be able to communicate with the NIC from your local Unix station. This means the printer knows about an IP address and subnet mask and has these settings in its current memory. However, if the NIC is shut off, these settings will be lost unless you store them in flash memory, as follows:
1.Load a Web browser on your Windows station and direct it to the URL: http://NICIPaddress/networkConf.html
(e.g., http://192.75.11.9/networkConf.html).
NOTE: If prompted for a “User ID” and password first, type in root for the ID and press ENTER at the password prompt (since there is no default password).
2.At the “Network Configuration” HTML form that displays, click in the field below the “IP Address” heading and type in the IP address for the NIC.
