Assigning an IP Address

If your environment is not Windows-based, this section is for you. However, this 
method can be used in a Windows environment too.

The methods used are: Static Route and Gleaning. 

Before you can telnet to the print server and configure the device you must first assign 
the print server a temporary IP address. 

1. Power on the printer and wait for two minutes to allow for device selftest. 

During this time the 

PSII

 performs an address broadcast. If no address is assigned 

to the unit (via DHCP or Bootp), it uses a default address. The default address used 
varies with the version of firmware the 

PSII

 is using. Print the 

PSII 

configuration 

label to confirm the address.

2. You can use the route add command to place the default IP address into the 

workstation's network routing table.  

3. At the workstation/host command prompt (in Windows, go the DOS prompt) type:

route add **** "IP address of the workstation" 0 

4. Telnet to the 

PSII

 by typing:

"telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"

 

The password is 1234 

5. When finished, you can alter the appropriate settings. When complete do a reset 

and allow completing of the 

PSII

 selftest before proceeding with any 

communications activity. 

Important • This applies to any TCP/IP capable work station/ host networked with 
the Zebra printer. Both the work station/host and the printer server must be on the 
same network segment.

Example • In the next step, **** is the IP address on the 

PSII

 configuration label.

Note • The zero (0) placed at the end of the "route add" command is optional on 
some systems.
