Installation and Reference for the Model PS104/PS105/PS110/PS113 Print Server • Includes only UNIX systems or if you have PCs without Windows on your network You must configure both your print server and all your PC systems with the instructions provided in this chapter. Before you can configure the print server (which must be done first) you must assign an IP address to it. (For information about IP addresses, refer to Appendix B, "Understanding IP Addresses.") Use one of the following two methods: - Assign active IP address resolution With temporary IP address assignment, the print server sends out broadcast packets actively searching for a server to provide the print server with an IP address. The print server sends out DHCP packets, BootP packets, and RARP packets (in this sequence) to resolve its own IP address. This broadcast mechanism is conducted only upon reset or power cycle. Assign a temporary IP address to your print server by referring to: • "Assigning an IP Address to the Print Server Using DHCP" as outlined on page 6-3 • "Assigning an IP Address to the Print Server Using BootP" as outlined on page 6-3. • "Assigning an IP Address to the Print Server Using RARP" as outlined on page 6-4. - Assign passive IP address resolution Assign a static IP address to your print server by referring to "Assigning an IP Address to the Print Server Using ARP" on page 6-6. With all four methods of IP address resolution, the print server loses the IP setting after reset or a power loss. To permanently configure the print server and save the IP address assignment in the flash EEPROM of the print server, you must use FTP. Using FTP, you can modify the CONFIG file in the print server. After you configure the print server as described in "Configuring Your Print Server Using FTP" on page 6-7, choose a printing method as described in "Setting the Print Method" on page 6-9 to configure each UNIX PC in your network. 6-2 UNIX Printing Using TCP/IP

UNIX Printing Using TCP/IP
•
Includes only UNIX systems or if you have PCs without Windows on your network
You must con
fi
gure both your print server and all your PC systems with the instructions
provided in this chapter. Before you can con
fi
gure the print server (which must be done
fi
rst)
you must assign an IP address to it. (For information about IP addresses, refer to
Appendix
B,
“
Understanding IP
Addresses
.
”
) Use one of the following two methods:
–
Assign active IP address resolution
With temporary IP address assignment, the print server sends out broadcast packets
actively searching for a server to provide the print server with an IP address. The print
server sends out DHCP packets, BootP packets, and RARP packets (in this sequence) to
resolve its own IP address. This broadcast mechanism is conducted only upon reset or
power cycle.
Assign a temporary IP address to your print server by referring to:

•

•
“

”
as outlined on

Assign a static IP address to your print server by referring to
“

Address to

”
on
page

.
With all four methods of IP address resolution, the print server loses the IP setting after reset or
a power loss. To permanently con
fi
gure the print server and save the IP address assignment in
the
fl
ash EEPROM of the print server, you must use FTP. Using FTP, you can modify the
CONFIG
fi
le in the print server.
After you con
fi
gure the print server as described in
“

”
on
page

, choose a printing method as described in

to

gure each UNIX PC in your network.
