Setting IP addressing: PostScript utility file (UNIX only) Setting IP addressing: PostScript utility file (UNIX only) Use the config-IP script to create a PostScript file that sets the printer's IP addressing parameters. The config-IP script is provided with your printer's network utilities software. s The output of the script is PostScript code, which you must send to the printer. When you run the script, redirect the output to a file. Then send the file to the printer. s The script prompts you to provide certain information. For information about these prompts, see the next table, IP addressing parameters. The advantage of this method is that each printer has a permanent setup stored in memory and is not dependent on a boot server for boot information. The disadvantage is that you must configure each printer individually. Before performing this procedure, install the files from your printer's network utilities software on to your host computer. If you have not already installed the files, see Extracting files from unix.tar on page 25. The IP parameters are listed in the following table. For the procedure, see the next topic, Running the config-IP script. IP addressing parameters Parameter Description Use BOOTP/DHCP Yes/no. Specifies whether the printer should get its IP address from a BOOTP or DHCP response at power-up (default is yes). Answer no for a printer-based configuration; this prevents BOOTP or DHCP packets from appearing on the network when the printer is turned on or reset. IP address Printer's address on a network. Format is x.x.x.x, where x represents a decimal number from 0 - 255. Must be a valid IP address and not 0.0.0.0, 255.0.0.0, any address starting with 127, or any address ending with 255. Network mask Needed in networks that use sub-netting. If you are not using sub-netting, leave this blank; the printer will choose an appropriate mask. Format is x.x.x.x, where x represents a decimal number from 0 - 255. Broadcast address Address the printer uses to send broadcast packets. Format is x.x.x.x, where x represents a decimal number from 0 - 255. If you are unsure, leave this blank; the printer chooses an appropriate address. Default gateway (router) Address the printer uses to communicate with devices not on the same network segment. Format is x.x.x.x, where x represents a decimal number from 0 - 255. 10 PhaserShare Networking Manual

Setting IP addressing: PostScript utility file (UNIX only)
Setting IP addressing:
PostScript utility
file (UNIX only)
Use the
config-IP
script to create a PostScript file that sets the printer’s IP addressing
parameters.
The
config-IP
script is provided with your printer’s network utilities software.
■
The output of the script is PostScript code, which you must send to the printer.
When you run the script, redirect the output to a file.
Then send the file to the
printer.
■
The script prompts you to provide certain information.
For information about these
prompts, see the next table,
IP addressing parameters.
The advantage of this method is that each printer has a permanent setup stored in memory
and is not dependent on a boot server for boot information.
The disadvantage is that you
must configure each printer individually.
Before performing this procedure, install the files from your printer’s network utilities
software on to your host computer.
If you have not already installed the files, see
Extracting files from unix.tar
on page 25.
The IP parameters are listed in the following table.
For the procedure, see the next topic,
Running the config-IP script
.
IP addressing parameters
Parameter
Description
Use BOOTP/DHCP
Yes/no.
Specifies whether the printer should get its IP address from a
BOOTP or DHCP response at power-up (default is
yes
).
Answer
no
for a printer-based configuration; this prevents BOOTP or DHCP
packets from appearing on the network when the printer is turned on
or reset.
IP address
Printer’s address on a network.
Format is x.x.x.x, where x represents
a decimal number from 0 - 255.
Must be a valid IP address and not
0.0.0.0, 255.0.0.0, any address starting with 127, or any address
ending with 255.
Network mask
Needed in networks that use sub-netting.
If you are not using
sub-netting, leave this blank; the printer will choose an appropriate
mask.
Format is
x.x.x.x,
where
x
represents a decimal number from 0
- 255.
Broadcast address
Address the printer uses to send broadcast packets.
Format is
x.x.x.x,
where
x
represents a decimal number from 0 - 255.
If you are unsure,
leave this blank; the printer chooses an appropriate address.
Default gateway (router)
Address the printer uses to communicate with devices not on the
same network segment.
Format is
x.x.x.x,
where
x
represents a
decimal number from 0 - 255.
