Setting the Printer’s IP
Addressing Parameters
You can set the printer’s IP address and other IP parameters by any of the
following methods:
■ Use the printer’s front panel. See “General information: setting IP
parameters from the front panel” on page 52.
■ Server-based printer configuration. Uses RARP (Reverse Address
Resolution Protocol), BOOTP (Boot Parameter Protocol), or DHCP.
When turned on or reset, the printer receives its IP addressing
information from a boot server. See “Setting IP parameters: RARP or
BOOTP” on page 61 or “Setting IP parameters: DHCP” on page 62.
■ Printer-based printer configuration (using a downloaded
configuration file).
Can be used on hosts that do not have RARP,
BOOTP, or DHCP. For UNIX, use a Tektronix-provided shell script to
prepare a configuration file. When you send the file to the printer, you
store the IP addressing information in the printer’s internal memory,
where the printer reads it when reset. See “Setting IP parameters:
PostScript utility file (UNIX only)” on page 64.
■ PC and Macintosh users can also set IP parameters using PostScript
utility files; see the README files on the printer’s CD-ROM or
diskettes. The PC README file is in the UTILS directory; the
Macintosh README file is in the Network Utilities folder.
■ Printer-based printer configuration (using PhaserLink software).
After setting the printer’s IP address by one of the other methods listed
here, you can perform the rest of the TCP/IP configuration using
PhaserLink software, if you have a World Wide Web browser. See
“Setting IP parameters: PhaserLink software” on page 67.
N O T E
When two or more IP addressing methods are used simultaneously, the printer
uses the first address that it successfully obtains.
