Running the
config-IP
script
1.
Connect the printer to a network. ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)
requires that the printer be connected on the same physical network
segment as the host.
2.
Run the script config-IP:
a.
In the directory where you placed your printer’s network utilities,
change (cd) to the bin subdirectory.
b.
Type the name of the script, redirecting the output to a file. Type:
config-IP > filename
3.
Enter the information when prompted by the script.
4.
Log in as root.
5.
Make an entry into the host’s ARP table defining the printer’s
IP/hardware address pair. In general, this requires a command
corresponding to one of the following examples:
arp -s printer-IP-address hardware-address (for BSD systems)
or
arp -s ether printer-IP-address hardware-address (for System V)
See your host system documentation for specifics of this command.
6.
Turn on the printer.

The script accepts IP addresses that have empty fields (for example,
123..40.10). The script does not detect this error. Double-check the IP
addresses you enter.

The hardware address in the arp command example is the printer’s Ethernet
Address for PhaserShare Ethernet interfaces or the Token Ring Address for
PhaserShare Token Ring cards.
