Network Administrator's Tip
For information about configuring the Etherent attachment, please see
IBM Network
Printers: Ethernet and Token Ring Configuration Guide
, which comes with the
Ethernet Network Interface Card. Chapter 9, “Setting Printer Network Addresses”
on page 201 describes how to define the IP address, default gateway address, and
subnet mask from the operator panel.
Use the Ethernet Menu to configure the Ethernet attachment. The following table
describes the settings you can change from the Ethernet Menu. An asterisk (*) next to
a value means it is the factory default. This menu appears only if you have the
Ethernet attachment installed.
Notes:
1. To select a new value, press the Enter key when the value is displayed in the
message display area. An asterisk (*) appears next to the value in the message
display area, indicating that it is now active.
2. If you are unfamiliar with using the operator panel to work with menus, please read
“Using the Operator Panel Keys” on page 30 and “Navigating Menus — Two
Examples” on page 31 before continuing.
