Chapter 6 Windows Ethernet Interface Configuration

Changing Workgroup Names
Windows environments define groups of related computers as
“workgroups.” By default, the Ethernet Interface belongs to the workgroup
called “WORKGROUP”. However, you may want to change this to suit
your network better. To do this:
1. Load a Web browser on your Windows station and direct it to the URL
“
http://
EthernetInterfaceIPaddress
/
networkConf.html
” (e.g. “http://192.75.11.9/
networkConf.html
”).
NOTE: If prompted for a “User ID” and password first, type in “
root” for
the ID and press ENTER at the password prompt since there is
no password by default.
2. At the “Network Configuration” HTML form that displays, search for
the “Windows (NetBIOS TCP/IP)” section and highlight the
“Workgroup Name” field.
3. Type in the new workgroup name for the Ethernet Interface.
4. Click on the SUBMIT button when done and physically repower the
print server to make the new settings take effect.
Changing Destination Names
When defining some printers within Windows environments, the Ethernet
Interface requires that you specify a pre-defined destination rather than
any name you would like. For example, when creating a new printer under
Windows NT, you are presented with a screen similar to Figure 13.
