For AT&T UNIX-based systems, type:

The XCD print server will get the IP address from the rarp daemon when it is
powered on.

BOOTP is an alternative to rarp that has the advantage of allowing configuration of
the subnet mask and gateway. In order to use BOOTP to configure the IP address
into the print server, first make sure that BOOTP is installed and running on your
host computer (it should appear in the
/ e t c / s e r v i c e s file on your host as a real
service; type m a n b o o t p d or refer to your system documentation for information).
BOOTP is usually started up via the /etc/inetd.conf file, so you may need to enable
it by removing the "#" in front of the bootp entry in that file. For example, a typical
bootp entry in the /etc/inetd.conf file would be:
# b o o t p d g r a m u d p w a i t / u s r / e t c / b o o t p d b o o t p d - i
Depending on the system, this entry might be called "bootps" instead of "bootp". In
order to enable BOOTP, simply use an editor to delete the "#" (if there is no "#",
then BOOTP is already enabled). Then edit the BOOTP configuration file (usually
/ e t c / b o o t p t a b ) to enter the name, network type (1 for Ethernet), Ethernet address
(which can be found on the label on the XCD print server), and the IP address,
subnet mask and gateway of the XCD print server. Unfortunately, the exact format
for doing this is not standardized, so you will need to refer to your system
documentation to determine how to enter this information (many UNIX systems also
have template examples in the bootptab file that you can use for reference). Some
examples of typical
/ e t c / b o o t p t a b entries include:
x c d _ 0 0 0 1 0 7 1 0 0 : 4 0 : 1 7 : 0 0 : 0 1 : 0 7 1 9 2 . 1 8 9 . 2 0 7 . 3
and:
x c d _ 0 0 0 1 0 7 : h t = e t h e r n e t : h a = 0 0 4 0 1 7 0 0 0 1 0 7 : \
i p = 1 9 2 . 1 8 9 . 2 0 7 . 3 :
Certain BOOTP host software implementations will not respond to BOOTP requests
if you have not included a download filename in the configuration file; if this is the
case, simply create a null file on the host and specify the name of this file and its
path in the configuration file.
As with rarp, the print server will load its IP address from the BOOTP server when
the printer is powered on.
