Setting through RARP
RARP is a protocol for assigning IP addresses, which have been
registered on a RARP server to each host on the TCP/IP network.
The printer will acquire an IP address when it is turned on.
•
This function is not available unless there is a RARP
server on the network.
•
[RARP protocol] of the Fast EtherNet needs to be set
to [ENABLE]. If it is set to [DISABLE], change the
setting to [ENABLE], referring to Printer Preparation.
The following description uses the SunOS4.1.x RARP server as
an example. If you use any other OS, including the SystemV
series, make the same settings according to the manual of your
workstation.
1
Register the IP address of the Ehternet board and host name
in the /etc/hosts file
Example: If the IP Address is “192.168.20.127” and host
name is “OP8C”.
192.168.20.127 OP8C
2
Add a combination of the Ethernet address and host name to
the /etc/ethers file. The host name is the same as that
registered in the /etc/hosts file.
Example: If the Ethernet address of the Fast EtherNet is
00:80:92:00:11:BC.
00:80:92:00:11:BC OP8c
3
Start RARPD.
#rarpd -a
•
For starting the rarpd, see the manual for your
workstation.
•
It is useful to set up your workstation so that it will
start up from a file such as /etc/rc, as the rarpd is
required at each start-up.
4
Switch the printer on.
