Configure the IP Address Using APIPA The Dell print server supports the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol. With APIPA, DHCP clients automatically configure an IP address and subnet mask when a DHCP server is not available. The device selects its own IP address in the range 169.254.1.0 through 169.254.254.255. The subnet mask is automatically set to 255.255.0.0 and the gateway address is set to 0.0.0.0. By default, the APIPA protocol is enabled. To disable the APIPA protocol, use the machine's control panel or Web Based Management. Configure the IP Address Using ARP If your network does not use a DHCP server, you can also use the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) command. The ARP command is available on Windows® systems that have TCP/IP installed and UNIX® systems. To use ARP, type the following command: arp -s ipaddress ethernetaddress ipaddress Where ethernetaddress is the MAC Address (Ethernet Address) of the print server and ipaddress is the IP address of the print server. For example: Windows® systems Windows® systems require the hyphen (dash) "-" character between each digit of the MAC Address (Ethernet Address). arp -s 192.168.1.2 00-80-77-31-01-07 ping 192.168.1.2 UNIX®/Linux systems Typically, UNIX® and Linux systems require the colon ":" character between each digit of the MAC Address (Ethernet Address). arp -s 192.168.1.2 00:80:77:31:01:07 ping 192.168.1.2 NOTE: You must be on the same Ethernet segment to use the ARP command, that is, there cannot be a router between the print server and operating system. If there is a router, you may use BOOTP or other methods to enter the IP address. If your administrator has configured the system to deliver IP addresses using BOOTP, DHCP, or RARP, your Dell print server can receive an IP address from any one of these IP address allocation systems, so you will not need to use the ARP command. The ARP command works only once. For security reasons, when you have successfully configured the IP address of a Dell print server using the ARP command, you cannot use the ARP command again to change the address. The print server will ignore any attempts to do this. To change the IP address again, use Web Based Management, or perform a factory reset on the print server, which will then allow you to use the ARP command again. Reset the Network Settings to the Factory Settings You can use your machine's control panel to reset the print server to its default factory settings. This resets all information, such as the password and IP address. 236 Network
