Configuring the OkiLAN 6120e
Choosing an IP Address
Every TCP/IP network device is required to have a
unique IP address. The IP address can be permanently
stored using one of the following:
• OKI OkiNet management utilities for TCP/IP, Novell
NetWare or Banyan VINES (may apply to other
OkiLAN print server models)
• OkiLAN 6120e Configuration utility via telnet.
Note: The OkiNet utilities are the easiest way to
assign an IP address.
Using factory default settings, the OkiLAN 6120e first
attempts to determine its IP address (flashing rapid
green) using DHCP, RARP, BOOTP or Gleaning. If the
OkiLAN 6120e has not resolved its IP address after 2
minutes, it defaults to 198.102.102.254. (This IP
address should be used only temporarily for
configuration purposes.)
To choose an IP address:
1. Select an IP address and hostname for the OkiLAN
6120e.
Example: 192.168.42.50 OkiLAN 6120e_name
2. Add the name and IP address to the “/etc/hosts” file
of each host that will access the OkiLAN 6120e. Or,
if your network uses a name service, add the host
name and IP address to the name server.
Most TCP/IP networks use the Network Information
Service (NIS), Domain Name Service (DNS) or the “/
etc/hosts” database. See your network documentation
for instructions.
