You may set the Internet address of the AXIS PrintPoint 140 BJC in
four different ways, using either ARP, RARP, BOOTP, or DHCP.
The main characteristics of each of these methods are described below:
•
ARP - available in UNIX, Windows 95 and Windows NT. This is
generally considered to be the easiest method although it does
require the Internet address for each new device to be down-
loaded individually. It is not appropriate to use this method over
routers.
•
RARP - available in UNIX, it downloads the Internet address to
each device automatically. It requires a RARP daemon on your
system, and operates within a single network segment only.
•
BOOTP - available in UNIX and quite similar to RARP,
although it can operate on the entire network. Requires a
BOOTP daemon on your system. A request made to an active
BOOTP or RARP daemon initiates a search of the Ethernet
Address Table (RARP daemon), or Boot Table (BOOTP
daemon) for an entry matching the print server's Ethernet
address. If a matching entry is found, the daemon then downloads
the Internet address to the print server.
•
DHCP - available in Windows NT and UNIX systems, it allows
for the automatic but temporary assignment of Internet addresses
from a central pool. DHCP will, when enabled, cause the selected
host to automatically allocate and download a free Internet
Address, Default Router Address and Net Mask to the requesting
print server. It also provides validation data that defines how long
the Internet address will remain valid.
The procedure for using each of the above methods are described in
detail below.
Although the AXIS PrintPoint 140 BJC does not support printing
in UNIX environments, the Internet address may be set with the
described UNIX methods. This is useful for Network
Administrator using UNIX operating systems.
