Download PRINTSERVER Installation Manual

Basic TCP/IP Terminology
Once the print server is connected to the network and switched on,
the print server checks whether an IP address can be obtained from
a DHCP server or boot protocols. If this is not the case, the print
server assigns itself an IP address via ZeroConf. This IP address is
taken from the address range 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254
which is reserved for ZeroConf.
In many cases, the print server is to be integrated into the actual
network after the automatic configuration via ZeroConf in the
169.254.x.x segment. To this end, a different IP address must be
saved in the print server. In this Installation Manual, the
PRINTSERVER-NetTool is always used for saving the IP address.
The following possibilities for saving the IP address are available:
DHCP
The BOOTP Boot Protocol
The RARP Boot Protocol
The arp and ping Commands

1.2.2.1
The BOOTP Boot Protocol
If your network uses the boot protocol BOOTP, the '/etc/bootptab'
file must be added. This file is located on the host running the
BOOTP daemon. The '/etc/bootptab' file contains a permanent
copy of the assignment of the host name and the IP address to the
hardware address.
