Section 3: Installing and Configuring the Print Server Configuring the Print Server for TCP/IP Before the AXIS 1440 can communicate on a TCP/IP network, you must assign it an Internet (IP) address. Methods for downloading the Internet Address You can use DHCP, ARP, RARP or BOOTP to set the Internet address. All methods are enabled. If you want to disable any of these methods, you can do so when installing the AXIS 1440 using the AXIS NetPilot Installation Wizard. (See Configuring the Print Server Using AXIS NetPilot on page 20.) You can also set the Internet address manually using the AXIS NetPilot Installation Wizard. The following list describes these methods: DHCP ARP RARP Available in Windows NT and UNIX systems, DHCP provides automatic but temporary assignment of Internet addresses from a central pool. DHCP causes the host computer to automatically allocate and download an unused Internet address to the requesting print server. It also provides validation data that defines how long the Internet address will remain valid. To benefit fully from this method, the AXIS 1440 also supports the WINS host name resolution protocol, which is available in Windows NT networks. Available in UNIX, Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT, ARP is an easy method to download Internet addresses to individual print servers. It is not appropriate to use this method over routers. Available in UNIX, RARP automatically downloads the Internet address to each device. It requires an RARP daemon on your system, and only operates within a single network segment. A request made to an active RARP daemon initiates a search of the Ethernet Address Table for an entry matching the print server's Ethernet address. If a matching entry is found, the daemon downloads the Internet address to the print server. AXIS 1440 User's Manual 23
