range). The IP address can be set in his can be done in any of the following
ways:
♦ XAdmin32
♦ HP JetAdmin
♦ DHCP
♦ The UNIX arp and ping commands
♦ Reverse Arp (rarp)
♦
BOOTP
♦
XCD XCONFIG NetWare utility
The easiest way to configure the IP address is using either XAdmin32 or JetAdmin
as described in Chapter 3. The remaining configuration methods are described in
the following paragraphs.
NOTE: The IP address you assign to the print server must be on the same logical
network as your host computers (e.g., if your host has an IP address of
192.189.207.3, the print server should have an IP of 192.189.207.x, where
x is an integer between 1 and 254), or you must properly configure your
router to work with the XCD print server.

Monarch print servers support the DHCP protocol for automatically loading the IP
address from a host computer that supports DHCP. By default, the print server
will automatically try DHCP, BOOTP, and rarp before using the IP address
configured in the server.
NOTE: This procedure may take about a minute, so the print server cannot be
accessed via TCP/IP during that time. If a faster IP address load is
required, select the desired IP configuration method (AUTO, DHCP,
BOOTP, RARP, STATIC) via XAdmin, WebXAdmin, or the print server
console SET IP METHOD command (STATIC is used when the IP address
is manually entered).
Using arp and ping to Configure the Print Server IP Address
The arp and ping method is one of the simplest ways of configuring the print server
IP address (this method requires V3.27 or later firmware). To use arp and ping,
enter the following commands at the operating system prompt::
