HP 310X - Manual (Page 48)

Using the arp and ping commands
for HP Jetdirect 175x external print server/Internet connector for USB
and HP Jetdirect 310x external print server/Internet connector for
USB
You can configure a print server with an IP address using an ARP
(Address Resolution Protocol) command from a supported system.
The protocol is not routable, that is, the workstation from which the
configuration is made must be located on the same network segment
as the print server.
Using the arp and ping commands with HP Jetdirect print servers
requires the following:
Windows NT/2000 or UNIX system configured for TCP/IP
operation. ●
HP Jetdirect firmware version x.08.03 or later. ●
LAN hardware address (MAC or station address) of the server
(specified on its
configuration page , or on a label attached to
the back).
●
Note that on some systems, superuser rights may be required for
the
arp command.
●
After an IP address is assigned via arp and ping commands, use
other tools (such as Telnet , embedded web server , or HP Web
Jetadmin software) to configure other IP parameters.
Procedure
Enter the following commands at the system prompt:
arp -s <IP address> <LAN hardware
address>
ping <IP address>
where:
<IP address> is the desired IP address
to be assigned to the print server. The arp
command writes the entries to the ARP
cache on the workstation, and the
ping
command configures the IP address on the
print server.
