Appendix Using BOOTP to configure the IP address BOOTP is an alternative to rarp that has the advantage of allowing configuration of the subnet mask and gateway. In order to use BOOTP to configure the IP address make sure that BOOTP is installed and running on your host computer (it should appear in the /etc/services file on your host as a real service;...
For AT&T UNIX-based systems, type: ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep rarpd The KONICA MINOLTA print server will get the IP address from the RARP daemon when the printer is powered on. Using APIPA to configure the IP address The KONICA MINOLTA print server supports the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol.
If your Administrator has configured the system to deliver IP addresses using BOOTP, DHCP or RARP your KONICA MINOLTA print server can receive an IP address from any one of these IP address allocation systems. In which case, you will not need to use the ARP command. The ARP command only works once.
Appendix Using the TELNET console to configure the IP address You can also use the TELNET command to change the IP address. TELNET is an effective method to change the machine’s IP address. But a valid IP address must already be programmed into the print server.
Appendix Installation when using a Network Print Queue or Share Note If you are going to connect to a shared printer on your network, we recommend that you ask your system administrator about the queue or share name for the printer prior to installation.
