Assigning an IP Address

Gleaning: To use this method, complete these steps:

A method where the print server uses the IP Address of the first ping packet that is sent
to its Hardware Address.

1. Add an entry to the ARP table that assigns an IP address to an Ethernet (Hardware)

address.

The syntax for this command is: arp -s " temporary ipaddress of
print server" "MAC Address (print server hardware
address) "

2. Power cycle the printer.

3. As the printer reboots, begin a continuous ping to the address assigned previously.

4. When the

PSII

begins to respond, stop the ping activity.

In Windows, Ctrl + C, halts the pinging.

5. Telnet to the

PSII

and assign the appropriate IP address, subnet mask and gateway

if applicable.

6. Once this is complete, reset the

PSII

.

Example • You would type: arp -s 10.3.50.59 00-40-68-1D-B9-86

Note • Most UNIX systems use a continuous ping.

To use a continuous ping from a Windows host you must issue the
command: ping -t "ipaddress".
