in a new environment.
Solution
No. 5
Follow the steps below to set the Print Server configuration back to
the factory default settings:
1.
Enter the command:
arp -s yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy 00:c0:02:xx:xx:xx
Where yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy is the new IP address assigned to the Print
Server and xx:xx:xx is the default name of the device, less the
leading “SC”. Combined with 00:c0:02, this gives the hardware
address of the device.
2.
Enter the commands:
ftp yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy
ftp>get DEFAULTC
ftp>quit
This will reset the configuration to the factory defaults (including
setting the IP address back to 0.0.0.0).
3.
Reconfigure as for a new device.
