Checking The Lan - Epson AcuLaser C8600 Administrator's Manual

Before you start, you need the following information:
A valid IP address for the Internal Print Server. Ask your
system administrator for an IP address which does not cause
conflicts with any other device on the network. If you are the
system administrator, choose an address within your subnet
which does not conflict with any other device.
The MAC (Ethernet hardware) address of the Internal Print
Server. You can find out the MAC address on a network status
sheet.

Checking the LAN

First, you need to check that the Internal Print Server can be
reached from the host, as follows:
1. Set the default gateway to the host on which you are setting
up the Internal Print Server.
If there is a server or a router which acts as a gateway, enter
the address of the server or the router. If there is no gateway,
enter the IP address of your computer as a gateway address.
2. The default IP address of the Internal Print Server is
"192.168.192.168". Check that the Internal Print Server is
reachable by "pinging" it from the command line:
ping 192.168.192.168
3. If the Internal Print Server is reachable, you can see the
following result (the exact form of the message depends on
your operating system, and the time may vary):
64 bytes from 192:168:192:168:icmp_seq=0. Time=34.ms
4. If the Internal Print Server is unreachable, you may see
something like this:
PING 192:168:192:168:56 data bytes
