Appendix Using RARP to configure the IP address 0 The KONICA MINOLTA print server's IP address can be configured using the Reverse ARP (RARP) facility on your host computer. This is done by editing the /etc/ethers file (if this file does not exist, you can create it) with an entry similar to the following: 00:80:77:31:01:07 KMN008077310107 Where the first entry is the MAC Address (Ethernet Address) of the print server and the second entry is the name of the print server (the name must be the same as the one you put in the /etc/hosts file). If the RARP daemon is not already running, start it (depending on the system the command can be rarpd, rarpd -a, in.rarpd -a or something else; type man rarpd or refer to your system documentation for additional information). To verify that the RARP daemon is running on a Berkeley UNIX based system, type the following command: ps -ax | grep -v grep | grep rarpd For AT&T UNIX-based systems, type: ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep rarpd The KONICA MINOLTA print server will get the IP address from the RARP daemon when the printer is powered on. Using APIPA to configure the IP address 0 The KONICA MINOLTA 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 chooses it's own IP address in the range 169.254.1.0 through to 169.254.254.255. The A 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. If you want to disable the APIPA protocol, see Changing the print server settings on page 12. If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a KONICA MINOLTA print server is 192.0.0.192. However, you can easily change this IP address number to match with the IP address details of your network. 65

A
Using RARP to configure the IP address
0
The KONICA MINOLTA print server’s IP address can be configured using the Reverse ARP (RARP) facility
on your host computer. This is done by editing the
/etc/ethers
file (if this file does not exist, you can create
it) with an entry similar to the following:
00:80:77:31:01:07 KMN008077310107
Where the first entry is the MAC Address (Ethernet Address) of the print server and the second entry is the
name of the print server (the name must be the same as the one you put in the
/etc/hosts
file).
If the RARP daemon is not already running, start it (depending on the system the command can be
rarpd
,
rarpd -a
,
in.rarpd -a
or something else; type
man rarpd
or refer to your system documentation for
additional information). To verify that the RARP daemon is running on a Berkeley UNIX based system, type
the following command:
ps -ax | grep -v grep | grep rarpd
For AT&T UNIX-based systems, type:
ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep rarpd
The KONICA MINOLTA print server will get the IP address from the RARP daemon when the printer is
powered on.
Using APIPA to configure the IP address
0
The KONICA MINOLTA 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 chooses it's own IP address in the range 169.254.1.0 through to 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. If you want to disable the APIPA protocol, see
Changing the print
server settings
on page 12.
If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a KONICA MINOLTA print server is 192.0.0.192.
However, you can easily change this IP address number to match with the IP address details of your network.
