Windows Ethernet Configuration

Optional

Additional settings, like routing entries, can be configured. This allows
communication across subnets when no other router exists.
You can configure the ethernet from the printer control panel, Web browser,
host commands, or other utility software. To configure these options, see
"Configuration Tools" on page 20.

Configuration Using ARP

To configure the ethernet with its IP settings using a manual arp command:
1. Log on to a Windows station with TCP/IP loaded and located on the same
subnet as the ethernet.
2. Find the ethernet address for the ethernet on the configuration printout.
It must be entered as part of this procedure.
3. Use the arp command to add an entry into the Windows station ARP
table for the ethernet. This is the most common syntax for this command:
Syntax:
arp -s <ipaddress> <ethernetaddress>
Example for Microsoft
arp -s 192.75.11.9 00-80-72-07-00-60
This example specifies an ethernet using IP address 192.75.11.9 and
ethernet address 00-80-72-07-00-60.
4. Check if the ARP entry was accepted.
arp -a
You should see an entry in the listed ARP table with the IP address and
ethernet address specified in Step 3.
5. Ping this IP address to see if the ethernet can be seen on your network.
At this point, you should be able to communicate with the ethernet from
your local Windows station. This means the print server knows about an
IP address and subnet mask and has these settings in its current
memory. However, if the ethernet is power cycled, these settings will
disappear unless you store them into flash memory. To do this:
a. Load a Web browser on your Windows station and direct it to the
