The Question is: I want to drive a Declaser 5100 with TCP/IP, but I can't store an IP adress in the printer. I'd try 2 methods : 1-From a vax with UCX by the command SET ARP <Ad Ip> <Ad Hardware> 2-From a NT server with ARP -s <Ad IP> <Ad Hardware> The printer doesn't accept the IP adress. The Answer is : You have reached the OpenVMS Wizard, not the DEClaser NIC Wizard. Please contact the Compaq Customer Support Center for assistance. The usual sequence for configuring the DEClaser 5100 NIC is: First, ensure that the network card in the printer is installed, that the appropriate network connection is enabled, and that there is no network cable attached to the printer. Power the printer on and it prints the start page and the network page. You should see the physical address of the network card, and it should indicate TCP/IP INACTIVE. Turn off the power and hook up the network cable. Power back on and you get the start page printed. Use the Windows NT command "arp -s 127.0.0.1 00-11-22-33-44-55" or the equivilent OpenVMS TCPIP command "SET ARP 00-11-22-33-44-55 127.0.0.1" command to set up the data base for the address you want. (You must substitute the IP address you want to use and the physical address from the printer's configuration page in these commands.) Use "arp -a" or SHOW ARP to display the local data base. Use the command "ping 127.0.0.1" or "PING 127.0.0.1". The ping will fail -- this is the command that transfers the IP address over to the printer NIC. Power off the printer and then power it back on. The printer configuration page will now (hopefully) contain the port address. eg: 100001. Use the command "ping 127.0.0.1" or "PING 127.0.0.1". The ping will (should) succeed. Now configure the printer on the host system.
