DEFINING THE PRINTER TO THE HOST: TCP/IP ATTACHMENT

If the ping is successful:

Table E-18.Example of a successful ping – AS/400

ping 9.9.999.999

Verifying connection to host system LOOPBACK at address 9.9.999.999.

Connection verification 1 took .000 seconds. 1 successful connection verifications.

Connection verification 2 took .000 seconds. 2 successful connection verifications.

Connection verification 3 took .001 seconds. 3 successful connection verifications.

Connection verification 4 took .000 seconds. 4 successful connection verifications.

Connection verification 5 took .000 seconds. 5 successful connection verifications.

Round-trip (in milliseconds) min/avg/max = 0/0/1

Connection verification statistics: 5 of 5 successful (100 %).

Note: A successful ping usually indicates that the AS/400 system can communicate with the IPS. However, you could receive a successful ping even if the IP address of the TCP/IP-attached printer is a duplicate of another IP address.

If PSF output for this printer prints elsewhere, follow these steps to determine whether the IP address of the printer is unique:

1.Power off the printer.

2.Wait at least five minutes for TCP/IP to clear the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) tables.

3.Enter the ping command again at the AS/400 system.

4.If you receive a successful response to the ping command this time, there is a duplicate IP address. Consult your network administrator.

If the ping is unsuccessful:

If your ping is not successful, verify the following:

•

•

•

The printer is powered on.

TCP/IP has been started on the AS/400 (command: STRTCP).

The cables are properly connected between the printer and the LAN.

•The Network Interface Card (NIC) in the printer is functioning properly. (Consult your Xerox service representative.)
