“The Intermate Management and
Configuration Utility (IMCU)” [page 78]
Powerful
Multi-
Purpose
Utility
This chapter covers how to install and use this powerful
Windows-based utility which is included on the CD-ROM.
As a tool for configuring a single unit, the IMCU is especially
useful in establishing initial contact. Most users will find
other tools more useful for configuring the other parameters
and options.
As a monitoring tool, the IMCU can give you an overview
over many different kinds of network devices and their
network status (such as “not available”, “sleeping”, ready);
for printers, you can also see “page count”. These
possibilities are also introduced in Chapter 11, in the
section
“Device List / Available Agents” [page 83]
.
As a firmware upgrade tool, the IMCU can be used not only
for upgrading single units, but also for bulk upgrade as well
as for copying configuration files from one unit to one or
more other units; see
“Upgrades and Maintenance”

1.4.3. About Initial Contact
Getting
TCP/IP-
Connected
This main section consists of one large chapter, Chapter 12
“IP
Assignments for Initial Contact” [page 88]
.
It contains comprehensive information on how to choose a
method for assigning TCP/IP-related information (IP address,
subnet mask, default gateway and host name)—and how to
use the chosen method. It is especially meant to help those
whose situation cannot be easily handled with the information
in Getting Started or the Quick Guide. This chapter can also be
used as a replacement for those guides.
