AXIS 5470e User’s Manual Section 3: Basic Installation

Notes:

Using DHCP

Follow the instructions below to download the IP address using

DHCP:

1. Edit or create a scope in the DHCP manager of the DHCP

daemon. The entries included in this scope should contain the

following parameters:

• range of IP addresses

•subnet mask

• default router IP address

• WINS server IP address(es)

• lease duration

2. Activate the scope.

The AXIS 5470e will automatically download the DHCP parameters.

If you are using WINS, you must include at least one WINS server IP

address in the DHCP scope. Immediately after the IP address has been

received, the AXIS 5470e registers its host name and IP address on

the WINS server.

• The AXIS 5470e supports WINS (Windows Internet Name Service), which is

recommended when setting the IP address using DHCP in Windows environ-

ments.

• 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 experi-

ence 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 axinstall .

• 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
