Setting The Ip Address Using The Arp Command; Checking That The Lan Can See The Ethernet Card - Epson C823642 - Enet Print Server Type B Multi Protocol 10/100BTX Administrator's Manual

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
