AirLive P-201 User Manual

 

The print server must have a unique IP address in order to be recognized 

by the network. 

You can set up the IP address on the various Unix systems using any one 

of the following methods: 

1.  DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) 

2.  BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) 

The print server will use the last three methods to obtain its IP address 

automatically if its IP address is configured as Auto (0.0.0.0). 

There are many Unix systems that support DHCP protocol, and the 

procedures to configure the DHCP server database are different. This manual 

does not describe the DHCP server configuration on the Unix systems. It is 

highly recommended that the DHCP server should be located on the same 

network as the print server. 

If you have the BOOTP daemon, bootpd, running on your UNIX syste m 

that is accessible by the print server, you can use the BOOTP protocol to set up 

the IP address of the print server. We recommend that the BOOTP server 

should be located on the same subnet as the print server. If you use Network 

Information Services (NIS) in your system, you may need to rebuild the NIS 

map with the BOOTP services before doing the following BOOTP configuration. 

To rebuild the NIS map, please refer to your system documentation. 

To configure the IP address data for the BOOTP server, you will need to 

log in the host of BOOTP server as the superuser (root). Perform the following 

steps to add address entries, 

1.  Optionally, assign a name corresponding to  the print server’s IP address.  

You can add this address to the /etc/hosts file, by adding a line such as:
