Computer-aided Configuration with ezsetup or npconfig
151
When the Internal Ethernet Adapter is initially installed on a TCP/IP
network, you are unable to communicate with it since its network
parameters are not initialized. During configuration, the following
parameters are initialized and saved in EEPROM:
• IP address (mandatory)
• netmask or sub-netmask (mandatory)
• root user password (recommended for security)
• guest user password (recommended for security)
Initializing these parameters permits configuration of all remaining
settings though any one of the following ways:
• computer-aided configuration with ezsetup or npconfig
• configuration through the network with RARP
• configuration through the network with BOOTP
• configuration through the network with ARP
Once you have completed any one of these methods, you will see the
STAT LED flashing once per second. This means the Internal Ethernet
Adapter is configured and recognizable on the network. At this point,
you can then configure a host for printing by continuing with “Host
Configuration” on page 156. This completes your entire print setup,
unless you choose to enhance it.
Computer-aided Configuration with ezsetup or
npconfig
NOTE: If you choose computer-aided configuration, you must log on to
your system as root or superuser and use the host software
diskette supplied with your Internal Ethernet Adapter. If the
software is not provided, or you need a different medium,
contact your vendor.
To configure the Internal Ethernet Adapter with the aid of a script you
must perform the following steps:
1. Insert the host software into the drive.
2. Login as root user.
3. cd to a directory with at least three megabytes of free space.
