Using the arp and ping Commands Note For HP Jetdirect wireless print servers, this section assumes that a wireless connection to your network has been established. You can configure an HP Jetdirect print server with an IP address using an ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) command from a supported system. The protocol is not routable, that is, the workstation from which the configuration is made must be located on the same network segment as the HP Jetdirect print server. Using the arp and ping commands with HP Jetdirect print servers requires the following: G Windows NT/2000/XP or UNIX system configured for TCP/IP operation G HP Jetdirect firmware version x.20.00 or later G A legacy default IP address 192.0.0.192 has been set on the print server G The LAN hardware (MAC) address of the HP Jetdirect print server (specified on an HP Jetdirect configuration page, or on a label attached to HP Jetdirect external print servers) Note On some systems, superuser rights may be required for the arp command. After an IP address is assigned through arp and ping commands, use other tools (such as Telnet, embedded Web server, or HP Web Jetadmin software) to configure other IP parameters. To configure a Jetdirect print server, use the following commands: arp -s ping where is the desired IP address to be assigned to the print server. The arp command writes the entries to the arp cache on the workstation, and the ping command configures the IP address on the print server. ENWW TCP/IP Configuration 74
