Notes:
•
The Ethernet Address/MAC address is the same as the serial number, found on the print server's underside
label. Enter the Ethernet Address in the same format as in the examples above.
•
Setting the IP address with arp and ping is only possible during the first ten minutes after re-booting the
print server. Re-boot the print server by disconnecting and then re-connecting its power supply.
•
When you execute the ping command for the first time, you may experience a significantly longer response
time than usual.
•
You need root privileges on your UNIX/Linux and Mac system in order to execute the arp command (refer to
the User's Manual for more information).
•
Use the command man arp to get a list of arp commands in UNIX/Linux.
