TROY Group 100S manual Using rarp to Configure the Print Server IP Address

Section 3 TCP/IP Network Configuration

Using rarp to Configure the Print Server IP Address

The TROY PocketPro 100S IP address can be configured using the Reverse ARP (rarp) facility on your host computer. This is done by editing the /etc/ethers file (if this file does not exist, you can create it) with an entry similar to the following:

00:40:17:00:01:07 TROY_000107

The first entry is the Ethernet address of the TROY print server and the second entry is the name of the TROY print server (the name must be the same as the one you put in the /etc/hosts file).

If the rarp daemon is not already running, start it (depending on the system the command can be rarpd, rarpd -a, in.rarpd -aor something else; type man rarpd or refer to your system documentation for additional information). To verify that the rarp daemon is running on a Berkeley UNIX-based system, type the following command:

ps -ax grep -v grep grep rarpd

For AT&T UNIX-based systems, type:

ps -ef grep -v grep grep rarpd

The TROY PocketPro 100S will obtain the IP address from the rarp daemon when it is powered ON.
