Using DHCP to Configure the Print Server IP Address
TROY XCD print servers support the DHCP protocol for automatically loading the IP address from a host computer that supports DHCP. By default, the print server will automatically try DHCP, BOOTP, and rarp before using the IP address configured in the server.
Note: This procedure may take about a minute, so the print server cannot be accessed via TCP/IP during that time. If a faster IP address load is required, select the desired IP configuration method (AUTO, DHCP, BOOTP, RARP, STATIC) via XAdmin, WebXAdmin, or the print server console SET IP METHOD command (STATIC is used when the IP address is manually entered).
Using arp and ping to Configure the Print Server IP Address
The arp and ping method is one of the simplest ways of configuring the print server IP address (this method requires V3.27 or later firmware). To use arp and ping, enter the following commands at the operating system prompt::
arp
where ethernetaddress is the Ethernet address of the print server and ipaddress is the IP address of the print server. The temp parameter should be used with UNIX systems, but is not supported by Microsoft operating systems. For example, a typical UNIX entry would be:
