3.3 Configuration via File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

The print server supports the TCP/IP protocol and FTP (File Transfer Protocol). This enables the

user to make changes in the print server configuration.

To use the FTP protocol you must install the TCP/IP protocol on to your PC or host. A valid IP

address must have been saved on the print server.

To enter an IP address on the print server use the Administration Tool (IPX protocol) or the

arp

and

ping

programs (TCP/IP).

Edit the ARP table

arp -s <Internet address> <Hardware address>

Example:

arp -s 192.0.0.123 00-c0-eb-00-01-ff

✘ ✘

Within some operating systems, for example all Microsoft Windows systems (except Windows

NT 4.0), you must contact a workstation in the network via the

ping

command before using

the

arp

command for the first time. If this is not possible in your network, you will have to

use the Administration Tool (IPX protocol) for the configuration procedure.

Assign a new IP address to the print server.

ping <Internet address>

Example:

ping 192.0.0.123

To change the configuration of the print server a configuration file must be created. This file will

then be sent via

ftp

to the print server host. If no configuration file exists simply get the file from

the print server host via

ftp

and change the entries. Please copy the following procedure in order to

obtain a configuration file via

ftp

Jump to the directory where you wish to create the configuration file. Start the File Transfer

Protocol and connect to the print server host:

% ftp 192.0.0.123

You will be asked for a user name. The entry is arbitrary. Type the following in order to list all files

located on the print server host:

ftp> ls
