Using RARP

This section describes how to configure the projector server using the Reverse
Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) on UNIX and Linux systems.

This setup procedure enables the RARP daemon running on your system to
respond to a RARP request from the HP Jetdirect projector server and to
supply the IP address to the server.

1.

Turn the projector off.

2.

Log onto your UNIX or Linux system as a superuser.

3.

Make sure the RARP daemon is running on your system by typing the
following command at the system prompt:

ps -ef | grep rarpd

(Unix)

ps ax | grep rarpd

(BSD or Linux)

4.

The system response should be similar to the following:

861 0.00.2 24 72 5 14:03 0:00 rarpd -a

860 0.00.5 36 140 5 14:03 0:00 rarpd -a

5.

If the system does not display a process number for the RARP daemon,
see the rarpd man page for instructions on starting the RARP daemon.

6.

Edit the /etc/hosts file to add your designated IP address and node
name for the HP Jetdirect projector server. For example:

192.168.45.39 projector1

7.

Edit the /etc/ethers file (/etc/rarpd.conf file in
HP-UX 10.20) to add the LAN hardware address/station address (from
the label on the server, embedded web server, or on-screen Help menu)
and the node name for the HP Jetdirect projector server. For example:

00:01:E6:a8:b0:00 projector1
