50Getting Started Assigning an IP Address
Static Route: To use this method, complete these steps:
1.Turn on the printer and wait for 2 minutes to allow for the device self test.
During this time, the PSII performs an address broadcast. If no address is assigned to the unit (via DHCP or Bootp), it uses a default address. The default address used varies with the version of firmware the PSII is using. Print the PSII configuration label to confirm the address; for details see page 44.
2.You can use the route add command to place the default IP address into the workstation's network routing table.
Example • In the next step, **** is the IP address on the PSII configuration label.
3.At the workstation/host command prompt (in Windows, go the DOS prompt), type: route add **** "IP address of the workstation" 0
Note • The zero (0) placed at the end of the "route add" command is optional on some systems.
4.Telnet to the PSII by typing:
"Telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
The password is 1234.
5.When finished, you can alter the appropriate settings. When complete, do a reset and allow the PSII self test to complete before proceeding with any communications activity.
Gleaning: To use this method, complete these steps:
Note • Gleaning works only on local subnets at routers. It does not pass Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) broadcasts.
A method by which the PSII uses the IP address of the first ping packet that is sent to its Hardware address.
1.Add an entry to the ARP table that assigns an IP address to an Ethernet (Hardware) address.
The syntax for this command is: arp
Example • You would type: arp
2.Power cycle the printer.
3.As the printer reboots, begin a continuous ping to the address assigned previously.
