NetGear Print Server Manual

In the example, a print server with an IP address of 192.10.2.54 is called PS_Rm203 and has a default name

of PS123456.

Add to the Ethernet Address table /etc/ethers:

00:c0:02:xx:yy:zz NAME

Use these definitions for entering the information:

00:c0:02:xx:yy:zz is the location of your print server.

NAME is the name of your print server.

Reset the print server by turning the power off and then on again.

When the print server reboots, it acquires an IP address using RARP.

To assure that an IP address has been assigned, check the IP address to MAC address association using

the ping command:

ping NAME

NAME is the name of the print server. You should receive a response. If you get a timeout message, the

RARP procedure has failed. You can either follow the steps again for using RARP or use one of the other

methods for assigning an IP address.

Proceed to “Configuring Your Print Server Using FTP” to configure the print server, if it has not yet

been configured.

Assigning an IP Address to the Print Server Using ARP

To assign an IP address using the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP):

Determine the physical address and the device name of the print server.

The factory default name and the physical address are shown on a sticker on the bottom of the unit. The

default name on your device is PSxxxxxx.

Add the print server to the /etc/hosts file by adding to the file:

IP_Address NAME # Comment

Use these definitions for entering the information:

IP_Address is the IP address of your print server.

NAME is the name of your print server.

A sample entry is:

192.10.2.54 PS_Rm203 #Default name PS123456

In the example, a print server with an IP address of 192.10.2.54 is called PS_Rm203 and has a default name

of PS123456.

Compare the physical address with the IP address of the print server, using the ARP command as

follows:

1 2 ... 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 ... 105 106
