Click Scope, Create. e. Enter the IP information to define the scope. 3. Define the lease. A lease is a pre-determined time that the printer holds the IP address. When the lease time expires, the printer queries the DHCP server again to renew its lease of the IP address.
Setting the Printer’s IP Addressing Parameters 8 DHCP transactions ■ On power up or reset, the printer sends a DHCP discover packet, indicating its Ethernet address and requesting an IP address. ■ The DHCP server responds to the discover packet with a DHCP offer packet, which contains an IP address from within the assigned scope and the assigned lease. ■ The printer examines the DHCP offer packet and decides whether to accept the lease.
8 Setting the Printer’s IP Addressing Parameters Setting IP parameters: PostScript utility file (UNIX only) Use the config-IP script to create a PostScript file that sets the printer’s IP addressing parameters. The config-IP script is provided with your printer’s network utilities software. ■ The output of the script is PostScript code, which you must send to the printer. When you run the script, redirect the output to a file. Then send the file to the printer.
Setting the Printer’s IP Addressing Parameters 8 Running the config-IP script 1. Connect the printer to a network. ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) requires that the printer be connected on the same physical network segment as the host. 2. Run the script config-IP: a. In the directory where you placed your printer’s network utilities, change (cd) to the bin subdirectory. b. Type the name of the script, redirecting the output to a file. Type: config-IP > filename 3.
8 Setting the Printer’s IP Addressing Parameters 7. Execute the ping command from the host: ping printer-IP-address 8. Use the host spooling system (for example, lpr or lp) to send to the printer the file you created in Step 2b. This stores the IP addressing information in the printer’s internal memory, where it is retained over a reset or power cycle. (For more information on setting up queues, see “Assigning a print queue to the printer” on page 25.) 9. Reset the printer.
Setting the Printer’s IP Addressing Parameters 8 DNS The printers support Domain Name Services (DNS) through an embedded DNS stub resolver. The DNS resolver protocol communicates with one or more DNS servers to request the IP address for a given host name or the host name for a given IP address. To use an IP host name for the printer, the system administrator must have already configured one or more DNS servers and a local DNS domain name space data base.
8 Setting the Printer’s IP Addressing Parameters 5. 58 Enter the following information: ■ Primary Name Server IP Address (required) ■ Second Name Server IP Address (optional) ■ IP Domain Name (required) ■ Additional Search Domain Name(s) (optional) 6.
