Using ARP to set the IP Address
You can use the following procedure to set the IP address on
the NIC. Then, you can set the other IP parameters from the
NIC Home Page. The printer and the NIC must be on the
same network segment as the workstation that you are
using to configure it. The TCP/IP stack must be installed
and operating.
1. From Windows, start an MS DOS session.
2. At the command prompt enter:
[NIC IP address] [NIC Hardware Address]
(for the hardware address, use hyphens as separators,
instead of colons.)
Then enter ping [NIC IP address]
(request should time out)
3. Turn the printer off and on, and use the ping command
again to verify that the NIC has its IP address. If the NIC
has the address, the result is a confirmation message:
[NIC IP address] is alive
4. Remove the entry from the ARP cache using this
command:
arp -d [NIC IP address]
arp -s
