1. Open a Terminal and write:
2. Without interrupting the “ping -t” loop, restart the print server by
disconnecting and then re-connecting the power supply.
3. If the host returns Reply from 192.168.3.191 ... or psname is
alive
... or a similar message, the IP address has been set successfully.
Interrupt the “ping -t” loop by pressing CTRL+C on your keyboard.
If the host returns Request timed out...
you need to perform a factory default on the print server and perform steps
1-3 above again.
See
Performing a Factory Default, on page 134.
4. Log in to the print server’s Web pages (see
Server Management, on page 92), select

Setting the IP Address
Using RARP in UNIX
Follow the instructions below to set the IP address using RARP.
1. Append the following line to your Ethernet Address table. This is typically
located in the
/etc/ethers
file:
Example:
2. Update, if necessary, your host table and alias name databases, as required
by your system.
arp -s
ping -t
arp -s 192.168.3.191 00:40:8c:10:00:86
ping -t 192.168.3.191
• The ability to set the IP address with ARP and PING will only be enabled the first 10
minutes after restarting the print server.
• When you execute the ping command for the first time, you will experience a significantly
longer response time than usual.
• If the host name has not been mapped to an IP address, simply replace the host name entry
with the IP address.
• The ARP command varies between different UNIX/Linux systems. Some BSD type systems
expect the host name and node address in reverse order. Furthermore IBM AIX systems will
require the additional argument ether.
