6.3.2 Saving the IP Address on the Print Server

•

Open a „MS-DOS“ window

•

Change the ARP table of your computer

Within the ARP table the allocation of an IP address to the physical hardware address is saved. With

this table the IP address of the print server can be assigned via network.

✘ ✘

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 have to use the

Administration Tool (IPX protocol) for configuration.

arp -s <IP address> <Hardware address>

Example:

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

•

Enter the

PING

command to assign the IP address to the print server

ping <IP address>

Example:

ping 192.000.000.123

Pinging 192.000.000.123 with 32 bytes of data:

Reply from 192.000.000.123: bytes=32 time=55ms TTL=32

Reply from 192.000.000.123: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=32

Now the print server has saved its IP address and can be connected to the spooler system. From now

on you can send print jobs using

ftp

to the print server.
