6.1.4 Assigning an IP Address to the FPS-5P-D

Installing the FPS-5P-D with TCP/IP protocol through Network Print Port requires setting up the FPS-5P-D an IP address and other related TCP/IP settings before the FPS-5P-D can function. You can select the following two methods to specify an IP address the FPS-5P-D.

    1. Use the Network Print Monitor utility.
    2. Manually specify (using DOS commands).

6.1.5 Using the Network Print Monitor utility

Please refer to TCP/IP Configuration in section 4.2.1.

6.1.6 Manually Specify an IP Address

For the purpose of explanation, please assume the FPS-5P-Ds IP address is 192.72.214.230 and its Node ID is 00:40:01:05:01:8C (The Node ID of your FPS-5P-Ds Node ID can be found on the back of the FPS-5P-D unit).

  1. Double-check to see that the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and Microsoft Standard TCP/IP Port components are pre-installed in Windows 2000. If necessary, install these components before proceeding.
  1. At the DOS prompt, type the following command to create a static ARP cache entry in the Windows 2000 to associate the FPS-5P-Ds IP address with its node address:
  2. arp -s 192.72.214.230 00-40-01-05-01-8C

  3. Ping the FPS-5P-D by typing the following command and the FPS-5P-D should provide responses:
  4. ping 192.72.214.230

  5. Type tftp 192.72.214.230 get config.txt
  6. Open the config.txt by your editor to modify the BoxIPAddressfield from 0.0.0.0 to 192.72.214.230 (FPS-5P-Ds IP address). When done, save the new config.txt.
  7. Save the new config.txt configuration file back to the FPS-5P-D by typing the following command :
  8. tftp 192.72.214.230 put config.txt

  9. Restart the FPS-5P-D and Done.
