Section 4 - Chapter 2 - Configuring the OkiLAN 6100e Chapter 2 Configuring the OkiLAN 6100e+ Choosing an IP Address Every TCP/IP network device is required to have a unique IP address. The IP address can be permanently stored using one of the following: • OKI OkiNet management utilities for TCP/IP, Novell NetWare or Banyan VINES • OkiLAN 6100e+ Configuration utility via telnet. Note: The OkiNet utilities are the easiest way to assign an IP address. Using factory default settings, the OkiLAN 6100e+ first attempts to determine its IP address (flashing rapid green) using DHCP, RARP, BOOTP or Gleaning. If the OkiLAN 6100e+ has not resolved its IP address after 2 minutes, it defaults to 198.102.102.254. (This IP address should be used only temporarily for configuration purposes.) To choose an IP address: 1. Select an IP address and hostname for the OkiLAN 6100e+. Example: 192.168.42.50 OkiLAN 6100e_name 2. Add the name and IP address to the "/etc/hosts" file of each host that will access the OkiLAN 6100e+. Or, if your network uses a name service, add the host name and IP address to the name server. Most TCP/IP networks use the Network Information Service (NIS), Domain Name Service (DNS) or the "/ etc/hosts" database. See your network documentation for instructions.
