Setting the IP address using arp/ping
Refer to the appropriate section below to assign an IP address to your AXIS 5470e using
arp/ping:
Windows
Open a Command Prompt and enter the following syntax:
The host will return reply from 192.168.3.191, or a similar message. This indicates
that the address has been set and that communication is established. You are now ready to
print using FTP or Reverse Telnet.
UNIX, Mac OS X
Open a Terminal and enter the following syntax:
The host will return psname is alive, or a similar message. This indicates that the
address has been set and that communication is established. You are now ready to print
using FTP or Reverse Telnet.

• The AXIS 5470e supports WINS (Windows Internet Name Service), which is recommended when set-
ting the IP address using DHCP in Windows environments.
• The Ethernet Address is the same as the serial number, found on the print server’s underside label.
Enter the Ethernet Address in the same format as in the example above.
• Setting the IP address with arp and ping is only possible in the first ten minutes after re-booting
the print server.
• When you execute the ping command for the first time, you may experience a significantly longer
response time than usual.
• The arp command varies between different UNIX systems.
• You need root privileges on your UNIX system in order to execute the arp command and run axin-
stall (refer to the AXIS 5470e User’s Manual for more information).
• Some BSD type systems expect the host name and serial number in reverse order. Furthermore IBM
AIX systems will require the additional argument ether.
Example: arp -s ether <host name> <Ethernet Address> temp
