Appendix A202AUsing RARP to configure the IP address AThe Océ print server’s IP address can be configured using the Reverse ARP (RARP) facility on your hostcomputer. This is done by editing the /etc/ethers file (if this file does not exist, you can create it) with anentry similar to the following:00:80:77:31:01:07 BRN008077310107 (or BRW008077310107 for a wireless network)Where the first entry is the MAC Address (Ethernet Address) of the print server and the second entry is thename of the print server (the name must be the same as the one you put in the /etc/hosts file).If the RARP daemon is not already running, start it (depending on the system the command can be rarpd,rarpd -a, in.rarpd -a or something else; type man rarpd or refer to your system documentation foradditional information).Using APIPA to configure the IP address AThe Océ print server supports the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol. With APIPA, DHCPclients automatically configure an IP address and subnet mask when a DHCP server is not available. Thedevice chooses it's own IP address in the range 169.254.1.0 through to 169.254.254.255. The subnet maskis automatically set to 255.255.0.0 and the gateway address is set to 0.0.0.0.By default, the APIPA protocol is enabled. If you want to disable the APIPA protocol, you can disable it usingcontrol panel of the machine. (For more information, see APIPA on page 95.)
