### Configure the IP Address Using ARP

If you are unable to use the BRAdmin application and your network does not use a DHCP server, you can also use the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) command. The ARP command is available on Windows® systems that have TCP/IP installed and UNIX® systems. To use ARP, type the following command:

arp -s ipaddress ethernetaddress

ipaddress

Where ethernetaddress is the MAC Address (Ethernet Address) of the print server and ipaddress is the IP address of the print server.

For example:

Windows® systems

  Windows® systems require the hyphen (dash) "-" character between each digit of the MAC Address (Ethernet Address).

  arp -s 192.168.1.2 00-80-77-31-01-07

  ping 192.168.1.2

UNIX®/Linux systems

  Typically, UNIX® and Linux systems require the colon ":" character between each digit of the MAC Address (Ethernet Address).

  arp -s 192.168.1.2 00:80:77:31:01:07

  ping 192.168.1.2

You must be on the same Ethernet segment to use the ARP command, that is, there cannot be a router between the print server and operating system.

If there is a router, you may use BOOTP or other methods to enter the IP address. If your administrator has configured the system to deliver IP addresses using BOOTP, DHCP, or RARP, your Fuji Xerox print server can receive an IP address from any one of these IP address allocation systems, so you will not need to use the ARP command. The ARP command works only once. For security reasons, when you have successfully configured the IP address of a Fuji Xerox print server using the ARP command, you cannot use the ARP command again to change the address. The print server will ignore any attempts to do this. To change the IP address again, use Web Based Management, TELNET (using the SET IP ADDRESS command), or perform a factory reset on the print server, which will then allow you to use the ARP command again.
