where the first entry is the Ethernet address of the
TROY XCD print server and the second entry is the
name of the TROY XCD print server (the name must be
the same as the one you put in the

/etc/hosts

file).

If the rarp daemon is not already running, start it
(depending on the system the command can be

rarpd,

rarpd -a,

in.rarpd -a

or something else; type

man

rarpd

or refer to your system documentation for

additional information). To verify that the rarp daemon
is running on a Berkeley UNIX-based system, type the
following command:

ps -ax | grep -v grep | grep rarpd

For AT&T UNIX-based systems, type:

ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep rarpd

The TROY XCD print server will get the IP address
from the rarp daemon when it is powered on.

Using BOOTP to Configure the TROY XCD
print server IP Address

BOOTP is an alternative to rarp that has the advantage
of allowing configuration of the subnet mask and
gateway. In order to use BOOTP to configure the IP
address into the TROY XCD print server, first make
sure that BOOTP is installed and running on your host
computer (it should appear in the

/etc/services

file

on your host as a real service; type

man bootpd

or refer

to your system documentation for information).
BOOTP is usually started up via the /etc/inetd.conf file,
so you may need to enable it by removing the "#" in
