1. Enter the DOS command line window
2. Type the following commands:
arp -s <IP address> <MAC address>
ping <IP address>
arp -d <IP address>
NOTE: the <IP address> is the IP address which you will
assign for the printer, the <MAC address> is the MAC address
of this printer copied in STEP1. For example, if you want
to assign an IP address 192.168.45.191 to a printer whose
MAC address is 00-0b-00-18-40-63, you should enter the
following commands:
arp -s 192.168.45.191 00-0b-00-18-40-63
ping 192.168.45.191
arp -d 192.168.45.191
then the response messages will be shown, such as:
Reply from 192.168.45.191...
This means that the IP address has been assigned
successfully.
2) If you are a UNIX user, please perform the following steps:
1. Enter “ root” as the user id and “ pass” as the password.
2. Edit the file “/etc/hosts”, to assign a host name for
a prearranged IP address, which means add the line:
<IP address> <host name>
in the file “/etc/hosts”,
then save the file and quit.
NOTE: the <IP address> is the IP address which you assign
for the printer, the <host name> is its host name.
3. Type following commands in shell:
arp -s <host name> <MAC address> temp
ping <host name>
NOTE: the <MAC address> is the printer’s MAC address copied
in STEP 1, and the <host name> is the host name assigned
in file “/etc/hosts” just now. For example, if you want to
assign an IP address 192.168.45.191 and a host name
“name_001” to a printer with MAC-address 00-0b-00-18-40-63,
you should enter the following commands:
vi /etc/hosts
(add a line) 192.168.45.191 name_001
(save and quit)
