IP Address
Management
You need root privileges on your Mac OS X system, or administrator
privileges on a Windows NT server to
•
set the IP address using RARP, DHCP
•
add an entry to the ARP table with the command 'arp -s'
•
You need to know the Ethernet address of your print server in order to
assign an IP address to it. The Ethernet address is based upon the serial
number of your print server. This means, for example, that a print server
with the serial number of 00408C100086, will have the corresponding
Ethernet address of 00 40 8C 10 00 86. The serial number is located on
the backside label of the print server.
•
Unless you are assigning an IP address using DHCP or Auto-IP, you
must obtain an unused IP address from your network administrator.
•
DDNS supports 47 character long host names and can only consist of
the characters ‘A-Z’, ’a-z’, ’0-9’ and ‘-’. If your host name consists of
any other characters, they are converted to ‘-’ when registering with a
DDNS server. You can view which host name that is registered at a
DDNS server in the print server’s Web interface. Refer to
“Print Server
Management Methods”
on page 39. If the host name matches another
entry in the DDNS data base, the print server deletes that entry before
registering.
•
In order to register the host name of the print server in networks with
dynamic IP address settings, WINS (Windows Internet Name Service)
and DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) are supported. It is
recommended that at least one of these methods should be used if you
are setting the IP address of the
print server
using DHCP.
•
The host name of the print server is specified by the PS_NAME.
parameter. Refer to the
“The Parameter List”
on page 58.
•
WINS only supports 15 character long host names. If your host name is
longer than 15 characters, the print server truncates the host name to
15 characters when registering with a WINS server. You can view the
print server host name that is registered at a WINS server in the print
server’s Web interface. Refer to
“Print Server Management Methods”
on
page 39.
Follow these instructions to edit or create a scope in the DHCP manager
of the DHCP daemon. The entries included in this scope should contain
the following parameters:
• range of IP addresses
• subnet mask
• default router IP address
• WINS server IP address(es) or DDNS server IP address(es)
• lease duration
