Setting the information using a RARP server and telnet
You may set the IP address using a RARP (Remote Address Resolution
Protocol). You must make sure that you are working on the same physical
network as the adapter. Then you can set the netmask and gateway with telnet.
To set the IP address, netmask, and gateway using a RARP server and telnet:
1 Look at the setup page. Find the hardware address. It is labelled UAA
and LAA.
• If you are using an Ethernet adapter, be sure to use the address in the right
column. This is the canonical form of the address, circled on the sample
setup page beginning on page 2-4.
• Choose the Locally Administered Address (LAA), unless it is
000000000000. If the LAA is 000000000000, choose the Universally
Administered Address (UAA).
2 Look at the setup page. Make sure BOOTP and RARP are enabled.
3 Set up the RARP server, following the instructions provided by your
host operating system.
4 Turn the printer off then on to reset the adapter.
The adapter sends a RARP request, and the server responds.
5 Use telnet to set the netmask and gateway by typing:
telnet ip.address -p 9000
where ip.address is the IP address you’re using, such as 9.51.8.231.
6 Follow the instructions on the screen to set the netmask and gateway.
If you wish to change the address, netmask, gateway, or community
name in the future, you may find this telnet function helpful.
