5. Check the IP Address using the ping command:
ping NAME
You should receive a response. If you get a Timeout message, the above procedure has
failed.
6. If the IOPRINT+ Print Server is not configured yet, you can now connect and configure it
using FTP.
Dynamic IP Address Configuration
If the device's IP Address is left at 0.0.0.0 it will try to obtain a dynamic IP Address by using
the following methods in sequence: DHCP, BOOTP, RARP.
Using DHCP Using DHCP is only possible if you have DHCP management software which allows you to
take advantage of this feature. Otherwise, the IOPRINT+ Print Server's IP Address will be
unknown, and connection to it will be impossible. In this case, configure the IOPRINT+ Print
Server for a static IP Address.
Using BOOTP 1. Perform steps 1. to 3. for assigning a static IP Address.
2. Add the following entry to the Boot Table /etc/booptab
NAME:ht=ether:vm=rfc1024::ha=PA:ip=IP:sm=SM:gw=GW
Where
NAME is the IOPRINT+ Print Server's name
PA is the physical address of the IOPRINT+ Print Server
IP is the IOPRINT+ Print Server's IP Address
SM is the Subnet Mask
GW is the Gateway IP Address
3. If it is not running, start the bootp daemon (the usual command is bootpd) and then reset
the IOPRINT+ Print Server. It should then acquire an IP Address using bootp.
4. If the IOPRINT+ Print Server is not configured yet, you can now configure it using FTP.
Otherwise, check with the ping command:
ping NAME
You should receive a response. If you get a Timeout message, the above procedure has
failed.
