Setting the information by editing an ARP table and using telnet
You may set the IP address by editing an Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
table. You must make sure that the computer where the ARP table is edited is on
the same physical network as the adapter. The adapter cannot send this
information across a router, until the adapter is configured.
Then you can use telnet to set the netmask and gateway.
To set the IP address, netmask, and gateway using an ARP file and telnet:
1 Look at the printer setup page. Find the hardware address. It is labelled
UAA and LAA.
• If you are using an Ethernet adapter, be sure to use the address in the right
column. This is the canonical form of the address, circled on the sample
setup page printed on page 2-4.
Choose the Locally Administered Address (LAA), unless it is
000000000000. If the LAA is 000000000000, choose the Universally
Administered Address (UAA).
2 Edit the ARP table to add an IP address.
Make sure you use the dotted
form of the IP address, such as 9.51.8.231. Use the commands
appropriate to the host operating system. On many computers you
would type something similar to the following:
arp -s 9.51.8.231 08:00:5A:09:E6:10
If you need help and are using a UNIX system, try the man page.
3 PING the adapter. This sets the new address on the adapter. For
example, you might type something similar to:
ping 9.51.8.231
4 Use telnet to set the netmask and gateway. For example, you might type
something similar to:
telnet 9.51.8.231 -p 9000
5 Follow the instructions on the screen to set the netmask and gateway.
