Section 3: Installing and Configuring the Print Server
24 AXIS 1440 User’s Manual
BOOTP Available in UNIX and similar to RARP (although it can operate on
the entire network) BOOTP requires a BOOTP daemon on your
system. A request made to an active BOOTP daemon initiates a search
of the Boot Table for an entry matching the print server’s Ethernet
address. If a matching entry is found, the daemon then downloads the
Internet address to the print server.
Before you start
System privileges You need root privileges on your UNIX system, or administrator
privileges on a Windows NT server.
Ethernet address You need to know the Ethernet address of your AXIS 1440 to perform
the installation. The Ethernet address is based on the serial number of
your AXIS 1440. For example, an AXIS 1440 with a serial number of
00408C100086 has a corresponding Ethernet address of 00 40 8C 10
00 86. Your print server’s serial number is located on the bottom of
the unit.
Internet address Unless you are downloading the Internet address using DHCP, you
must obtain an unused Internet address from your network
administrator.
Important: ❏ DO NOT use the Internet address presented in the examples in
this section when installing your AXIS 1440. Always consult your
network administrator before assigning an Internet address.
