CONFIGURING THE M204 FOR TCP/IP: M204 Configuration 25
Manual Configuration Through the Network with ARP
To manually configure the M204 using the network, go to a host terminal and do the
following:
1 Log on to your system as root user.
2 Assign an IP address and IP name to the M204 in your host table (/etc/hosts,
hosts nis map, or DNS name tables).
3 Find the hardware address for the M204 PCMCIA slot you are using. It must be
entered as part of this procedure.
Each PCMCIA slot has an associated Ethernet and Token Ring address.
4 Use the arp command to add an entry in the host's arp able. This is the most com-
mon syntax for this command:
arp -s
ipname hardwareaddress
where ipname is the M204’s IP name or IP address and hardwareaddress is that
of the M204’s PCMCIA slot.
If this syntax doesn’t apply, look in your host’s reference manual to find the
proper syntax for the arp command.
5 telnet to the M204. This will bring up a login screen.
telnet
ipname
6 Log into the Print Server as root.
7 At the password prompt, press <Enter>. No password is required at this point as
the M204 is still unconfigured.
This WARNING message is normal at this point so you can ignore it:
STORED AND CURRENT VALUES DIFFER
You should now see a prompt displayed that has the M204 IP address followed by
a colon, then root.
ipaddress
:root>
8 Store the new IP address and netmask in EEPROM so that the M204 can remem-
