Brother HL 1270N - Manual (Page 36)

2-11
If you get the message "The arp entry addition failed:", try pinging a known device on the
network using the command “
ping ipaddress” , where “ipaddress” is the IP address of
that device.
✒ Note
•
You must be on the same Ethernet segment (that is, there cannot be a router between the
print server and the Windows NT system) to use the
arp -s command.
•
If there is a router, you may use BOOTP or other methods described in How to configure
TCP/IP printing for UNIX system to enter the IP address.
•
If your Administrator has configured the system to deliver IP addresses using BOOTP,
DHCP or RARP your Brother Print Server can receive an IP address from any one of these
IP address allocation systems, in which case, you will not need to use the
ARP command.
•
The ARP command only works once. For security reasons, once you have successfully
configured the IP address of a Brother Print Server using the ARP command, you can not
use the ARP command again to change the address. The print server will ignore any
attempts to do this. If you wish to change the IP address again, use a web browser,
TELNET (using the
SET IP ADDRESS command as described in Appendix A), or
factory reset the print server (which will then allow you to use the ARP command again).
3. Verify that you can communicate with the Brother Print Server by using the ping
command with the IP address or name (if you have edited your HOSTS file or are
using Domain Name System). For example:
ping 192.189.207.77
ping <name>
Again, substitute your actual name or IP address. You should get a response back from
the Brother Print Server if the IP address has been set and the print server is alive on
the network. If you do not, print the configuration page and verify that the IP address
has changed.
Configuration of an OS/2 Server
1. From the OS/2 desktop open the Templates folder. Use the right mouse button to drag
the Printer icon (not the Network Printer icon) onto the desktop.
2. The Create a Printer window should be open (if it is not, double click on the printer
icon).
- Type in any name for the printer.
- Select the default printer driver. If the desired printer driver is not listed, click on
the Install new Printer Driver button and add the driver.
- Choose the output port. IBM TCP/IP automatically creates 8 named pipes called
\PIPE\LPD0 through to \PIPE\LPD7 . Pick an unused port and double click
on it.
