where:
IP_Address is the IP address for the FastPrint Server. This must match the IP
address stored in the FastPrint.
NAME is the FastPrint’s name. This must match the name stored in the
FastPrint.
# comment. Add the Default Name as a comment.
example:
192.10.2.54 PS_Rm203 #Default name SC123456
In the example above, SC123456 is assigned the IP address 192.10.2.54 and
the name “PS_Rm203”.
4. Use the arp command to associate the physical address with the FastPrint Server’s
IP address:
arp -s NAME 00:c0:02:xx:yy:zz
where:
NAME is the name assigned to the FastPrint.
00:c0:02:xx:yy:zz is the physical address of the FastPrint, as determined from
the default name.
example:
arp -s PS_Rm203 00:c0:02:12:34:56
5. Check the IP address using the ping command:
ping NAME
You should receive a response. If you get a Timeout message, the above procedure
has failed.
6. If the FastPrint Server is not configured yet, you can now connect and configure it
using FTP. (See “Example: Initial configuration” on page 37).
5.3.2. Dynamic IP address Configuration
If the FastPrint’s IP address is left at 0.0.0.0, it will try to obtain a dynamic IP address by
using the following methods in sequence: DHCP, BOOTP, RARP.
5.3.2.1. Using DHCP
You may only use DHCP if you have DHCP management software which allows you to
take advantage of this feature. Otherwise, the FastPrint’s IP address will be unknown,
and connection to it will be impossible. In this case, configure the FastPrint to use a
static IP address. (See preceding section.)
5.3.2.2. Using BOOTP
1. Determine the physical address of the FastPrint Server from the default name shown
on a sticker on the base of the FastPrint. It will be in the form SCxxyyzz (SC
followed by 6 hex numbers). If its name is SCxxyyzz, then the physical address is
00:c0:02:xx:yy:zz.
2. Login to the UNIX host as root.
3. Add the FastPrint to the /etc/hosts file by adding the following line to the file:
IP_Address NAME # comment
