Operating System Configuration - Sharp AR-C200P Network Interface Manual

Operating system configuration

This section explains how to configure a printer for major UNIX
operating systems.
Sun OS 4.x.x (BSD) configuration
The following explanation uses Sun OS 4.1.3 and an AR-C200P printer
as examples. The absolute path of commands and the configuration
method may differ between OS versions, so refer to the workstation
manuals for more information.
If an incorrect IP Address, Subnet Mask or Gateway is entered, the
network may go down or other damage may occur. Check the address
with the network manager and confirm that the IP address of the
printer has been set.
1. Login as [root] to the workstation.
If you do not have Superuser rights, the network manager should
conduct the configuration.
2. Register the IP address of the network card and the host name in
the /etc/hosts file.
Example: for IP address 192.168.20.127 and host name AR-C200P
192.168.20.127 AR-C200P
3. Use the ping command to confirm connection with the network
card.
Example: for host name AR-C200P
# ping AR-C200P
If there is no reply, then there is a problem with the configuration of
the IP address (the IP address has already been set manually or
dynamically) or with the network. Reset the network interface card
settings to their defaults and then try to set a temporary IP address. If
you still have the problem after resetting the network interface card,
consult the network manager.
4. Register the printer in the /etc/printcap file.
