Ethernet Menu
Important
For information about configuring the Ethernet attachment, please see
IBM Network
Printers: Ethernet and Token Ring Configuration Guide
, which comes with the
Ethernet Network Interface Card. Chapter 8, “Configuring Printer Network
Addresses” on page 179 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 in the table indicates the factory default. The Ethernet Menu appears only if
you have the Ethernet attachment installed.
Notes:
1. To select a new value, press the Continue/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 10 and “Navigating Menus” on page 12
before continuing.
