Using Ping - Mita DP-2800 Instruction Handbook Manual

7.3.1.3Using ping

Use the following procedure to enter the IP Address:
1. Turn off the printer.
2. Log in as superuser on a host on the same subnet as the print server. However, if
the server resides on another subnet, complete this procedure to store the IP
address in the print server. Reconnect the print server anywhere on the network,
and then use Telnet or the HTML pages accessed by MAP or a Web Browser util-
ity to change the IP address. See 7.4 Running Telnet on page 40 for instructions on
using Telnet.
3. Find the Ethernet address of the EcoLAN 1000E. The address is listed as Network
Address on the configuration status report each time you turn the printer on.
4. Edit the hosts file (usually /etc/hosts) or use NIS or DIS to add the IP address and
[print server's node name. See the network administrator for the IP address. For
example, a print server with a name of printfast and an IP address of
192.9.200.200 has the following entry:
5. Add an entry to the arp cache for the Print Server's IP address and Ethernet
address. For example:
6. Check the printer to see that the Print Server is connected to the network. Turn on
the printer.
7. Send a ping command the EcoLAN 1000E to verify it is running on the network.
For example:
The EcoLAN 1000E will not respond to this ping command but it will read its IP
address from the packets.
8. Turn the printer off and back on again and then send the ping command again to
verify that the print server obtained its IP address. If the Print Server has the
address, the result is a confirmation message:
192.9.200.200 is alive
9. Remove the entry from the arp cache using the following command. Specify the
Print Server either by its IP address or by its name. For example:
arp -d printfast
TCP/IP Configuration 7-20
192.9.200.200
arp -s 192.9.200.200 0:40:c8:0:0:ff
ping 192.9.200.200 or
ping printfast
