arp -s <desired_IP_address> <1000E_ethernet_address>
The 1000E ethernet address is listed on the network status page as Network
Address. For example,
arp -s 197.42.211.5 00:40:AF:13:A2:70
4. At the UNIX command prompt, type: ping <desired_IP_address>
For example, ping 197.42.211.5 The 1000E will not respond to this
ping command, but will read the IP address.
5. After a few minutes (usually between 1 and 2 minutes, but possibly up to 5
minutes on very large or busy networks), the 1000E will reset and print its
network status page. The new IP address will be listed in the TCP/IP Network
Information section. If the status page doesn't print, recheck the 1000E ethernet
address entry in the arp command. Once the status page prints, the new IP
address may also be verified with the ping command.
Setting Other TCP/IP Parameters
Once the IP address is set, the 1000E can be configured via telnet or with a
standard web browser. The following steps describe configuration with a standard
browser. For instructions on configuring via telnet, refer to the Instruction Handbook.
1. In the browser, connect to http://<1000E_IP_address>
For example, http://197.42.211.5
2. At the 1000E's Home Page, click on 1000E Configuration.
3. Many of the configuration options are password protected. The default password
is: sysadm The password is case sensitive. To change the password, select
Change Password in the System column.
4. Select Setup TCP/IP in the Protocols column and change the settings as
appropriate. If unsure of the correct Subnet mask, and the first number in the
1000E IP address is from 192 to 254, then use 255.255.255.0 as the Subnet
mask. The Base Port Number displayed is one less than the printer's actual port
number, thus for the default of 9100, the Base Port Number is set to 9099. Host-
based lpd requires a port number of 10001, therefore, if using host-based lpd,
change the Base Port Number to 10000.
5. Type the sysadm password in the appropriate box and click Accept Settings.
After a few seconds the screen should report that the update was successful.
Click the Back Arrow icon twice to return to the 1000E Configuration page.
6. Optional: Click on Configure Status Page in the Printer column to define
powerup status page settings, (e.g. disabling the powerup status page).
7. The changes made to the 1000E do not take effect until the unit is reset. Click
on Reset in the System column and click Reset Unit. After a few seconds the
screen reports that the unit was reset. TCP/IP configuration is now complete.
