Using ARP to configure the IP address

0

If you are unable to use the BRAdmin Light and your network does not use a DHCP server, you can also use
the ARP command. The ARP command is available on Windows

®

systems that have TCP/IP installed as well

as UNIX systems. To use arp enter the following command at the command prompt:

arp -s ipaddress ethernetaddress

Where ethernetaddress is the MAC Address (Ethernet Address) of the print server and ipaddress is
the IP address of the print server. For example:

„

Windows

®

systems

Windows

®

systems require the dash “-” character between each digit of the MAC Address (Ethernet

Address).

arp -s 192.168.1.2 00-80-77-31-01-07

Note

You must be on the same Ethernet segment (that is, there cannot be a router between the print server and
operating system) to use the arp -s command.
If there is a router, you may use BOOTP or other methods described in this chapter to enter the IP address.
If your Administrator has configured the system to deliver IP addresses using BOOTP, DHCP or RARP your
KONICA MINOLTA print server can receive an IP address from any one of these IP address allocation
systems. In which case, you will not need to use the ARP command. The ARP command only works once.
For security reasons, once you have successfully configured the IP address of a KONICA MINOLTA print
server using the ARP command, you cannot use the ARP command again to change the address. The print
server will ignore any attempts to do this. If you wish to change the IP address again, use Web Based
Management (web browser), TELNET (using the SET IP ADDRESS command) or factory reset the print
server (which will then allow you to use the ARP command again).
To configure the print server and to verify the connection, enter the following command ping ipaddress
where ipaddress is the IP address of the print server. For example, ping 192.189.207.2.
