Using RARP to configure the IP address A

The KONICA MINOLTA print server’s IP address can be configured using the Reverse ARP (RARP) facility

on your host computer. This is done by editing the /etc/ethers file (if this file does not exist, you can create

it) with an entry similar to the following:

00:80:77:31:01:07 KMN008077310107

Where the first entry is the MAC Address (Ethernet Address) of the print server and the second entry is the

name 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 for

additional information). To verify that the RARP daemon is running on a Berkeley UNIX based system, type

the following command:

ps -ax | grep -v grep | grep rarpd

For AT&T UNIX-based systems, type:

ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep rarpd

The KONICA MINOLTA print server will get the IP address from the RARP daemon when the printer is

powered on.

Using APIPA to configure the IP address A

The KONICA MINOLTA print server supports the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol. With

APIPA, DHCP clients automatically configure an IP address and subnet mask when a DHCP server is not

available. The device chooses it's own IP address in the range 169.254.1.0 through to 169.254.254.255. The

subnet mask is 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 using

control panel of the machine. (For more information, see APIPA on page 23.)
