2.2.2 Alternative method for setting the IP address manually: ARP/Ping

Refer to the appropriate section below to assign an IP address to your AXIS 5400+/AXIS 5600+
using ARP/Ping:

Windows

1. Open a Command Prompt and enter the following commands:

2. The host will return

reply from 192.168.3.191

, or a similar message. This indicates that

the address has been set and that communication is established.

3. Next, log in to the print server’s web pages ( - See page 12) and define the

Default Router and

Subnet Mask of your network: choose Admin | Network Settings | Detailed View | TCP/IP.
DHCP, Auto-IP, BOOTP and RARP (...Enabled) must first be set to No!

UNIX/Linux, Mac OS X

1. Open a Terminal window and enter the following commands:

2. The host will return

192.168.3.191 is alive,

or a similar message. This indicates that

the address has been set and that communication is established.

3. Next, log in to the print server’s web pages ( - See page 12) and define the

Default Router and

Subnet Mask of your network: choose Admin | Network Settings | Detailed View | TCP/IP.

DHCP, Auto-IP, BOOTP and RARP (...Enabled) must first be set to No!

Notes:

Syntax

Example

1. arp -s <IP address> <Ethernet address>

arp -s 192.168.3.191 00-40-8c-18-1c-f0

2. ping <IP address>

ping 192.168.3.191

Syntax

Example

1. arp -s <IP address> <Ethernet address> temp

arp -s 192.168.3.191 00:40:8c:18:1c:f0 temp

2. ping <IP address>

ping 192.168.3.191

The Ethernet Address/MAC address is the same as the serial number, found on the print server’s underside label.
Enter the Ethernet Address in the same format as in the examples above.

Setting the IP address with arp and ping is only possible during the first ten minutes after re-booting the
print server. Re-boot the print server by disconnecting and then re-connecting its power supply.

When you execute the ping command for the first time, you may experience a significantly longer response
time than usual.

You need root privileges on your UNIX/Linux and Mac system in order to execute the arp command (refer to
the User’s Manual for more information).

Use the command man arp to get a list of arp commands in UNIX/Linux.
