AXIS 5500 / AXIS 5550 User's Manual
Below is an example of how to set the IP address of the print server using
BOOTP:
Append the following entry to your boot table. This is typically performed by
editing the file:
/etc/bootptab
<host name>:ht=<hardware type>:vm=<vendor magic>:\
:ha=<hardware address>:ip=<IP address>:\
:sm=<subnet mask>:gw=<gateway field>
Example:
npsname:ht=ether:vm=rfc1048:\
:ha=00408c100086:ip=192.168.3.191:\
:sm=255.255.255.0:gw=192.168.1.1
8. If necessary, update your host table and alias name databases as required by
your system.
9. If it is not already running, start the BOOTP daemon. This is typically performed
using the command.
bootpd
10. Restart the print server to download the IP address, default router address,
and subnet mask. The print server can automatically download a customized
config file from a TFTP server. Just add the name of the config file and the
TFTP server's IP address to your boot table. The config file is downloaded
immediately after the print server receives its IP address.
11. You have now successfully set the IP address of the print server. Proceed to
"Adding a Network Printer to your Computer" on page 22.
AutoIP sets the IP address automatically in the absence of a DHCP server in
Windows Me, 2000 and XP. If you have a DHCP server running on your network,
the print server will receive an IP address immediately after you have
connected it to the network. In the absence of a DHCP server, your print server
will automatically be assigned an IP address through integrated AutoIP. The
AutoIP address structure is: 169.254.xxx.xxx.
The AutoIP function will only work when DHCP is enabled in your print server.
This function is enabled automatically upon installation of a brand new print
server.
The easiest way to make sure DHCP and AutoIP are enabled is to reset your
print server (to Factory Default). See "The Test Button" on page 102 for
instruction on how to do this.
If you perform a Factory Default on the print server and you do not have a
DHCP server on your network, AutoIP will automatically set the IP address of
the print server.
Open a Command Prompt and enter the following commands:
Syntax
1. arp -s <IP address> <Ethernet address>
2. ping <IP address>
3. arp -d <IP address>
Basic Installation
Example
arp -s 192.168.3.191 00-40-8c-10-00-86
ping 192.168.3.191
arp -d 192.168.3.191
