Assign TCP/IP Values
161
For Windows 95/98/NT or OS/2, open a DOS window. For AS/400, start from
a command prompt. For Unix, start from a terminal session prompt:
telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
> login
> user ‘root’
(default user name for configuration)
> anything
(default is no password)
> welcome root user
(sample response)
> store pserver smb workgroup Acme
> ok
> reset
(print server will need about 30 seconds to reset)
session disconnected
You should now be able to browse the NIC in “Network Neighborhood,” whic h
has resources d1prn, d2prn, d3prn, d4prn.
•The TCP/IP values are not stored in the printer configuration, so it i s not
necessary to use the printer configuration menu for the above.
•If the printer is attached to your network via UTP cable and you entered a
gateway value, then executing the E-Net Test Page will verify your
settings and execute a
ping
to the gateway. A “good” response is “gw-IP
is alive” which assures you of a functioning network connection
(cable is good, connection is functional, values are correct, all that
remains is setting up printing).
Method 2: Setting TCP/IP Values Using A Network
Start with the printer powered off. Have the IP Address, Subnet Mask, a nd
Gateway values ready.
For arp assignment, the syntax is:
arp -s ipaddress MAC_address
Example using Windows 95/98/NT:
On a DOS command prompt, enter:
arp -s 192.168.20.20 00-80-72-09-00-5F
(set the static arp value; be certain to replace the IP Ad dress of this
example with a valid one of your own)
list arp -a
(to ensure you have the “static entry”)
Example using Unix (not AIX):
On a command prompt, enter:
arp -s 192.168.20.20 00:80:72:09:00:5F
(set the static arp value; be certain to replace the IP Ad dress of this
example with a valid one of your own)
Example using AIX:
On a command prompt, enter:
arp -s ether 192.168.20.20 00:80:72:09:00:5F
(set the static arp value; be certain to replace the IP Ad dress of this
example with a valid one of your own)
