Assigning an IP Address to the Print Server
Before you Start If you have a DHCP server on your network, your print server will receive
an IP address automatically. The IP address will then appear on the test
page you printed earlier.
If you are not working in a DHCP network, you need to set the IP-address
of the print server manually.
Follow these instructions in order to assign an IP address to your Axis
Network Print Server.
System Privileges You need root privileges on your UNIX system, or administrator
privileges on a Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 to:
• set the IP address using RARP, BOOTP, DHCP
• add an entry to the ARP table with the command 'arp -s'
Ethernet Address You need to know the Ethernet address of your Axis Network Print Server
in order to assign an IP address to it. The Ethernet address is based upon
the serial number of your Axis Network Print Server. This means, for
example, that an Axis Network Print Server with the serial number of
00408C100086, will have the corresponding Ethernet address of 00 40 8C
10 00 86. The serial number is located on the underside label of the print
server.
IP Address Unless you are downloading the IP address using DHCP or Auto-IP, you
must obtain an unused IP address from your network administrator.
Important:
DO NOT use the IP addresses used in the following examples when installing
your Axis Network Print Server. Consult your network administrator before
assigning an IP address to your Axis Network Print Server.
