Assigning an IP address to the print server

Before you start
System privileges
Ethernet address
IP address
Important:
If you have a DHCP server on your network, your print server
will receive an IP address automatically. The IP address will then
appear on the test page you printed earlier.
If you are not working in a DHCP network, you need to set the
IP-address of the print server manually.
Follow these instructions in order to assign an IP address to your
AXIS 5900 print server.
You need root privileges on your UNIX system, or administrator
privileges on a Windows NT server to:
• set the IP address using RARP, BOOTP, DHCP
• add an entry to the ARP table with the command 'arp -s'
You need to know the Ethernet address of your AXIS 5900 in
order to assign an IP address to it. The Ethernet address is based
upon the serial number of your AXIS 5900. This means, for
example, that an AXIS 5900 with the serial number of
00408C100086, will have the corresponding Ethernet address of
00 40 8C 10 00 86. The serial number is located on the bottom
label of the print server.
Unless you are downloading the IP address using DHCP or Auto-
IP, you must obtain an unused IP address from your network
administrator.
DO NOT use the IP addresses used in the following examples when installing your
AXIS 5900. Consult your network administrator before assigning an IP address to
your AXIS 5900.
