OkiLAN 6200e Plus User’s Guide • OkiNet for NetWare - This windows utility must be run from a Novell NetWare client. See Novell NetWare for specific information. Assigning the IP Address There are eight different methods for assigning an IP address to the Network Print Server: Gleaning, Static Route Entry, DHCP, RARP, BOOTP and using the OkiNet utilities. Gleaning, Static Route Entry and RARP require the Network Print Server and the host to be on the same subnet.
OkiLAN 6200e Plus User’s Guide 2. Start a continuous ping to the Network Print Server. ping Example: ping 192.168.42.24 On some systems, this may require an additional parameter. Some implementations of ping only send out one ping packet which could get lost in transit. Check your system documentation for more information. 3. Connect power to the Network Print Server. The Network Print Server will glean its IP address from the ping packet.
OkiLAN 6200e Plus User’s Guide BOOTP, with a certain IP address always assigned to a certain device. Depending on the server, both methods may be used at the same time. If the Network Print Server does not find a DHCP server after two minutes, it will timeout and assume a default address of 192.0.0.192. This follows current BOOTP and RARP behavior. If the Network Print Server receives multiple responses, it will choose the first one.

Perform a man ps at the UNIX prompt to consult a manual page on the ps command for a particular workstation. If bootpd is not running on a workstation, type man bootpd at the UNIX prompt to consult a manual page on the BOOTP daemon and how to start it. Limitations Often TCP/IP networks are divided into subnets. BOOTP does not work across subnets.
OkiLAN 6200e Plus User’s Guide do not know their IP address. When powering up on a network, a device that uses RARP broadcasts its network hardware address in a RARP request message. A RARP server (which may be a UNIX workstation) responds with an IP address. The device then knows its IP address and use this address to perform subsequent TCP/IP transactions.
OkiLAN 6200e Plus User’s Guide daemon is called rarpd. A name can be assigned to any device on a network and is arbitrary. For the following examples the name used for the Network Print Server is OKIPRINTER. Remember that this name is arbitrary; a customer can assign any name. /etc/hosts: The “/etc/hosts” file is where each entry maps a host name to an IP address. An example entry is shown below. 192.168.42.
OkiLAN 6200e Plus User’s Guide rarpd daemon finds the host name, OKIPRINTER, listed as the name associated with the network hardware address. 4. The rarpd then consults the “/etc/hosts” file and looks up the name OKIPRINTER. It finds an IP address (in this case 192.168.42.55) associated with the name OKIPRINTER. 5. The rarpd daemon transmits a response to the Network Print Server with the IP address 192.168.42.55. The Network Print Server will then use this IP address for all subsequent transmissions.
