ifconfig

Use the "ifconfig" command to configure TCP/IP (IP address, subnet mask, broadcast address, default gateway address) for the printer.

•If you did not enter an interface name, it is automatically set to the Ethernet interface.

•ip1394 can be specified only when the IEEE 1394 interface is installed.

•wlan can be specified only when the IEEE 802.11b interface is installed.

•You can specify either the Eth- ernet interface or IEEE 802.11b interface when using the op- tional IEEE 802.11b interface unit.

You cannot specify the IEEE

1394 interface.

The following explains how to configure an IP address 192.168.15.16 on Ethernet inter- face.

msh> ifconfig ether 192.168.

The following explains how to

 

configure a subnet mask

 

255.255.255.0 on Ethernet inter-

 

face.

 

msh> ifconfig ether net-

 

mask 255.255.255.0

 

Note

❒To get the above addresses, contact your network administrator.

❒Use the default configuration if you cannot obtain setting addresses.

❒The IP address, subnet mask and broadcast address are the same as that for the ethernet interface and IEEE 802.11b interface.

❒When installing the optional 1394 Interface board, set the IP address and subnet mask so that it does not overlap with the ethernet interface or the IEEE 1394 interface.

❒TCP/IP configuration is the same for both Ethernet and IEEE 802.11b interface. If interfaces are changed, the new interface inherits the con- figuration.

❒Use "0x" as the initial two letters of a hexadecimal address.
