The Print Server’s IP address is forgotten and it needs to be installed
in a new environment.

Solution
No. 5

Follow the steps below to set the Print Server configuration back to
the factory default settings:

1. Enter the command:

arp -s yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy 00:c0:02:xx:xx:xx

Where yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy is the new IP address assigned to the Print
Server and xx:xx:xx is the default name of the device, less the
leading “SC”. Combined with 00:c0:02, this gives the hardware
address of the device.

2. Enter the commands:

ftp yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy
ftp>get DEFAULTC
ftp>quit

This will reset the configuration to the factory defaults (including
setting the IP address back to 0.0.0.0).

3. Reconfigure as for a new device.
