• If you don’t have DHCP, there are other methods you can use to manually
assign the address, such as the printer operator panel, static ARP and
telnet, RARP and telnet, BOOTP, or MarkVision or other Lexmark utility.
Instructions for three of these methods follow.
Printer operator panel
A simple way to set the IP address, netmask and gateway inside the print server
is to use the printer operator panel. You need to be standing at the printer to use
this method.
“x” designates which option
slot is being used. For
example, if you install the
MarkNet print server in
option slot 2, the operator
panel selection would read:
Network Option 2.
1
On the printer operator panel, choose Network Menu, Network Option x,
Network x Setup, TCP/IP, Set IP Address. (Hint: Press Menu> until you see
the correct menu item, and then press Select.)
2
When the current IP address is displayed, use the buttons to change the
address. (Hint: Pressing Select advances to the next segment in the address.
Pressing Menu> increases the number by one. <Menu decreases the number by
one.)
3
When you finish setting the IP address, press Select until the word SAVED
appears briefly.
4
Set the IP netmask and gateway in a similar way.
5
Print a new network setup page to verify the parameters are set as you
intended.
Static ARP and telnet
You can use this method from any Windows, OS/2, or UNIX workstation. You
need to know the physical address of the print server to use this method.
The workstation and the
printer must be on the same
subnet.
1
Find the physical address (UAA) of the print server (for example,
00200022012F) on the network setup page you printed earlier. If you have
an Ethernet network, use the number in the right column (canonical). If
you have a Token-Ring network, use the number in the left column (MSB).
2
Set the IP address in your workstation ARP table. At a command prompt,
type a command similar to the following, inserting the IP address you
want to assign and the UAA:
arp -s 192.168.236.24 00-20-00-22-01-2F
3
Set the IP address, netmask and gateway in the print server. To do this,
telnet to port 9000 on the MarkNet print server by typing a command
similar to the following:
telnet 192.168.236.24 9000
4
Verify the print server is up and running on the network.
ping 192.168.236.24
