Using a Web Browser for Print

Server Management, on page 92), select

Important:

Setting the IP Address

using ARP in UNIX

and Mac OS X

Start out with making sure that the IP address is available for use. The IP

address 192.168.3.191 is used here as an example:

Ping the IP address by opening a Terminal and writing:

If the host returns Reply from 192.168.3.191 ... or a similar
message, the IP address is already taken.
You can obtain a new and unused IP address from your system
administrator.

Check that the IP address you want to use is not already taken and
stored in the host’s cache memory.
Open a Terminal and write:

If the host lists the IP Address followed by the Physical Address, then
the IP address is in use.

You can remove the entry from the cache memory with the command:

Follow the instructions below to set the IP address using arp/ping.

• The ability to set the IP address with ARP and PING will only be enabled the first 10

minutes after restarting the print server.

• When you execute the ping command for the first time, you will experience a significantly

longer response time than usual.

ping 192.168.3.191

arp -a

arp -d 192.168.3.191
