Using ARP to configure the IP address

A

If you are unable to use the BRAdmin Light and your network does not use a DHCP server, you can also use
the ARP command. The ARP command is available on Windows

®

systems that have TCP/IP installed as well

as UNIX systems. To use ARP enter the following command at the command prompt:

arp -s ipaddress ethernetaddress

ping ipaddress

Where ethernetaddress is the MAC Address (Ethernet Address) of the print server and ipaddress is
the IP address of the print server. For example:

„

Windows

®

systems

Windows

®

systems require the dash “-” character between each digit of the MAC Address (Ethernet

Address).

arp -s 192.168.1.2 00-80-77-31-01-07

ping 192.168.1.2

Note

You must be on the same Ethernet segment (that is, there cannot be a router between the print server and
operating system) to use the arp -s command.
If there is a router, you may use BOOTP or other methods described in this chapter to enter the IP address.
If your administrator has configured the system to deliver IP addresses using BOOTP, DHCP or RARP
your KONICA MINOLTA print server can receive an IP address from any one of these IP address
allocation systems. In which case, you will not need to use the ARP command. The ARP command only
works once. For security reasons, once you have successfully configured the IP address of a KONICA
MINOLTA print server using the ARP command, you cannot use the ARP command again to change the
address. The print server will ignore any attempts to do this. If you wish to change the IP address again,
use a Web Based Management (web browser), TELNET (using the SET IP ADDRESS command) or
factory reset the print server (which will then allow you to use the ARP command again).
