OkiLAN 6200e Plus User's Guide Unable to Assign IP Address Gleaning If you ping the device and are not getting a response, the glean is not working. Check the following possible problems: • Verify that the ARP table contains the correct hardware and IP address by running the 'arp -a' command. • If you are getting a response, but the Network Print Server LED is still blinking green, power down the print server and try the ping again. There might be a different device answering to the ping. • Verify that the Network Print Server is on the same subnet as the computer running the ping. • The glean will not work if the Network Print Server has already defaulted to an IP address two minutes after power up. The LED will turn solid green and the device will print a configuration page. Power cycle the device and try the glean again. RARP or BOOTP If you are using a BOOTP or RARP server and the Network Print Server is not getting an IP address, check the following: • Verify that the BOOTP/RARP configuration files are correctly set up ("/etc/ethers" and "/etc/hosts" for RARP and "/etc/bootptab" for BOOTP). Verify that the files have the correct hardware address of the Network Print Server. If using RARP, check that the hostnames are the same between the "/etc/ ethers" and "/etc/hosts" files.

Unable to Assign IP Address
Gleaning
If you
ping
the device and are not getting a response,
the glean is not working. Check the following possible
problems:
Verify that the ARP table contains the correct hard-
ware and IP address by running the ‘
arp -a
’ com-
mand.
If you are getting a response, but the Network Print
Server LED is still blinking green, power down the
print server and try the ping again. There might be
a different device answering to the ping.
Verify that the Network Print Server is on the same
subnet as the computer running the ping.
The
glean
will not work if the Network Print Server
has already defaulted to an IP address two minutes
after power up. The LED will turn solid green and
the device will print a configuration page. Power
cycle the device and try the glean again.
RARP or BOOTP
If you are using a BOOTP or RARP server and the
Network Print Server is not getting an IP address,
check the following:
Verify that the BOOTP/RARP configuration files
are correctly set up (“/etc/ethers” and “/etc/hosts”
for RARP and “/etc/bootptab” for BOOTP). Verify
that the files have the correct hardware address of
the Network Print Server. If using RARP, check that
the hostnames are the same between the “/etc/
ethers” and “/etc/hosts” files.
