UNIX/Linux only: Set the IP Address Manually
If you succeeded in logging in to your print server’s web pages in Step 2, your print server has
already received a valid IP address. Skip to “ Configure a Printer ” (Step 4)!
Set the IP address:
1. Type the following commands in the shell window:
arp -s <host name> <Ethernet address>
ping <host name>
(You can replace the host name with the IP address)
Example:
arp -s PS5800 00:40:8c:10:00:86
ping ps5800
2. The host will return ps5800 is alive, or a similar message. This indicates that the
address has been set and that communication is established. You are now ready to print
using FTP or Reverse Telnet.
Notes:
■ The ability to set the IP address with arp and ping will only be enabled the first ten
minutes after re-booting the print server
■ DHCP, RARP and BOOTP can be used to set the IP address in UNIX, see the AXIS 5800
Mobile User’s Manual for details.
■ You need root privileges on your UNIX system in order to execute the arp command and
run axinstall.
■ When you execute the ping command for the first time, you may experience a
significantly longer response time than usual.
■ The arp command varies between different UNIX systems.
■ Some BSD type systems expect the host name and node address in reverse order.
Furthermore IBM AIX systems will require the additional argument ether.
Example:
arp -s ether <host name> <Ethernet address> temp
