Using Bootp - Mita DP-2800 Instruction Handbook Manual

You can use the BOOTP, rarp, or ping procedures only when the Print Server is in its
factory default state (no IP information entered.) After the Print Server has an IP
address, you must use the Telnet utility, the AppleTalk KYOManage utility for the
Macintosh, or the EcoLAN 1000E HTML management pages accessed through the
MAP utility or a Web Browser to change an IP address, Subnet Mask and Default
Gateway.

7.3.1.1Using BOOTP

The BOOTP daemon is a native TCP/IP option for configuring the IP address of a
diskless network device. To communicate the IP address, use the following
procedure:
1. Turn off the printer.
2. Log in as superuser on a host on the same subnet as the print server. However, if
the server resides on another subnet, complete this procedure to store the IP
address in the print server. Reconnect the print server anywhere on the network,
and then use Telnet or the HTML pages accessed by MAP or a Web Browser util-
ity to change the IP address. See 7.4 Running Telnet on page 40 for instructions on
using Telnet.
3. Find the Ethernet address of the EcoLAN 1000E. The address is printed on the
configuration status report each time you turn the printer on.
4. Edit the hosts file (usually /etc/hosts) or use NIS or DIS to add the IP address and
EcoLAN 1000E's node name. See the network administrator for the IP address.
For example, a EcoLAN 1000E named printfast with an IP address of
192.9.200.200 has the following entry:
192.9.200.200 printfast
5. Stop the BOOTP daemon if it is running.
