Setting the IP Address Using the arp Command If you are using UNIX, OS/2, or peer-to-peer networking in Windows (95, 98, or NT), you can use the address resolution protocol (arp) command to set the IP address of the Ethernet card, and the ping command to check that you have set it correctly. Before you start, you will need the following information: u A valid IP address to assign the Ethernet card. Use an address within your subnet that does not conflict with any other device. u The MAC (Media Access Control) address (hardware serial number) of the Ethernet card. Press the status sheet button for about three seconds while the printer is on to print a status sheet that includes the MAC address. u If the host from which you set up the Ethernet card is on a different LAN segment, make sure that the gateway to the Ethernet card (router or routing host) is correctly configured on your machine. Checking that the LAN can see the Ethernet card Check that the Ethernet card can be reached from the host. If you have already set the IP address of the Ethernet card to some value other than the factory default, skip step 1. 1. Re-initialize the Ethernet card by turning off the printer, waiting at least 10 seconds, and then turning on the printer again while holding down the status sheet button for about three seconds. 2. Check that the card is reachable by pinging it from the command line. For example, using the default IP address of the Ethernet card (11.22.33.44), type: ping 11.22.33.44 3-8 Setting the IP Address

Setting the IP Address
Setting the IP Address Using the arp Command
If you are using UNIX, OS/2, or peer-to-peer networking in Windows
(95, 98, or NT), you can use the address resolution protocol (arp)
command to set the IP address of the Ethernet card, and the ping
command to check that you have set it correctly.
Before you start, you will need the following information:
A valid IP address to assign the Ethernet card. Use an address
within your subnet that does not conflict with any other
device.
The MAC (Media Access Control) address (hardware serial
number) of the Ethernet card. Press the status sheet button for
about three seconds while the printer is on to print a status
sheet that includes the MAC address.
If the host from which you set up the Ethernet card is on a
different LAN segment, make sure that the gateway to the
Ethernet card (router or routing host) is correctly configured
on your machine.
Checking that the LAN can see the Ethernet card
Check that the Ethernet card can be reached from the host.
If you have already set the IP address of the Ethernet card to some
value other than the factory default, skip step 1.
1.
Re-initialize the Ethernet card by turning off the printer, waiting
at least 10 seconds, and then turning on the printer again while
holding down the status sheet button for about three seconds.
2.
Check that the card is reachable by pinging it from the command
line.
For example, using the default IP address of the Ethernet card
(11.22.33.44), type:
ping 11.22.33.44
