2. Add an entry to the hosts file (usually etc/hosts) that includes the
printer's name and the IP address. For example, to name the printer
and associate it with an IP address of 197.42.211.5, place the following
entry in the hosts file:
197.42.211.5 <PrinterName>
3. At the UNIX command prompt, type:
arp -s <desired_IP_address> <NIC_Ethernet_address>
(The Ethernet address is listed on the network status page as Network
Address.) For example, arp -s 197.42.211.5 00-40-AF-13-
A2-70
4. At the UNIX command prompt, type: ping <desired_IP_address>
For example, ping 197.42.211.5 The NIC will not respond to this ping
command, but will read the IP address.
5. After a few minutes (usually between 1 and 2 minutes, but possibly
up to 5 minutes on very large or busy networks), the NIC will reset
and print its network status page. The new IP address will be listed
in the TCP/IP Network Information section. If the status page
doesn't print, recheck the NIC's Ethernet address entry in the arp
command. Once the status page prints, the new IP address may also
be verified with the ping command.
Setting Other TCP/IP Parameters
Once the IP address is set, the NIC can be configured via telnet or with a
standard web browser. The following steps describe configuration with a
standard browser. For instructions of configuring via telnet, refer to the
Owner's Manual.
1. In the browser, connect to http://<NIC_IP_address>
For example, http://197.42.211.5
2. At the NIC's Home Page, click on NIC Configuration.
3. Many of the configuration options are password protected. The
default password is: sysadm The password is case sensitive. To
change the password, select Change Password in the System column.
