Assigning Ip Address With Arp+Ping - Ricoh AP204 Operator's Manual

Assigning IP Address with ARP+PING

Using TCP/IP, you can assign the IP address using ARP and PING. The follow-
ing example is for a BSD UNIX workstation (SunOS 4.x).
Preparation
ARP+PING should be set to Active in the network boot configuration before
assigning the IP address using ARP+PING. For how to set it to Active, refer
to the Operating Instructions of your printer.
A
Log in to the workstation as root.
B
Use the arp command to assign the IP address to the MAC address of the
Network Interface Board.
# arp -s 192.168.15.16 00:00:74:62:5C:65
Note
192.168.15.16 is the IP address, 00:00:74:62:5C:65 is the MAC address.
C
Assign the IP address using the PING command.
# ping 192.168.15.16
D
Use the PING command again, to confirm the address.
# ping 192.168.15.16
If the address has been configured properly, the following message will ap-
pear.
192.168.15.16 is alive
If the address has been configured incorrectly, the following message will ap-
pear.
no answer from 192.168.15.16
- - - - How to Confirm the MAC Address
The MAC address (Ethernet address) of the Network Interface Board is required
in order to use ARP and PING to assign the IP address.
The MAC address can be seen on the printer configuration page.
