Using RARP (select models only)

Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) enables diskless workstations to obtain an IP address so that they can fully function as Internet hosts.

To set the IP address, netmask, and gateway for the printer using a RARP server, make sure you are working on the same network as the printer, and then follow these steps:

1. Obtain the printer MAC address and make sure RARP is enabled.

   1. From the printer, print a network setup page.

      For more information, see the User's Guide.

   2. In the Network Card section, look for UAA (MAC). You will need this information in the steps that follow.

      Note:

      For Ethernet networks, use the number in the right column (canonical).

   3. In the TCP/IP section, make sure RARP is enabled.

2. Set up the RARP server. Follow the instructions provided by your host operating system. Use the hardware address (MAC address) you obtained from the network setup page.

3. Reset the printer by turning it off, and then turning it back on.

   The printer sends a RARP request, and the server responds.

4. To determine the IP address assigned to the printer, check the RARP server or print another network setup page.

5. From the computer you used to set up the printer, type the printer IP address in the address field of your Web browser.

6. Configure any remaining settings using the Embedded Web Server.
