• When you execute the ping command for the first time, you will experience a significantly
longer response time than is usual
• The ability to set the IP address with ARP and PING will only be enabled the first 4 minutes
after restarting the print server.
• By using the arp -d command, the static entry in the arp table is removed from the
host's cache memory.
1. Open a Terminal and enter the following commands:
Syntax
arp -s <IP address> <Ethernet address>
ping <IP address>
2. The host will return
that the address has been set and that communication is established.
3. Log in to the print server's Web pages (see Using a Web Browser for Print Server
Management, on page 87), select Admin | Network Settings | Detailed View
| TCP/IP and define Default Router and Subnet Mask. Make sure you first
set DHCP, Auto-IP, BOOTP and RARP (...Enabled) to No!
You have now successfully set the IP address of the print server. Continue to
"Making Network Printers available for printing on your PC" on page 18.
• If the host name has not been mapped to an IP address, simply replace the host name entry
with the IP address.
• The ARP command varies between different UNIX/Linux systems. Some BSD type systems
expect the host name and node address in reverse order. Furthermore IBM AIX systems will
require the additional argument ether.
• When you execute the ping command for the first time, you may experience a
significantly longer response time than is usual
• The ability to set the IP address with ARP and PING will only be enabled the first 4 minutes
after restarting the print server
AXIS IP JumpStarter is an application that assists in assigning an IP address to
your print server and finding IP addresses already assigned to Axis servers.
1. Download and install AXIS IP JumpStarter. AXIS IP JumpStarter is available
on www.axis.com
2. For optimal use, open AXIS IPJumpstarter before you attach the print server
to the network.
