4: TCP/IP Configuration
The EZWebCon configuration software is the easiest way to configure the MPS. The fol-
lowing sections cover IP address configuration and print configuration methods for TCP/
IP hosts.
4.1 Setting the IP Address
The MPS IP address must be configured before any TCP/IP functionality is available.
Use one of the following methods to set the IP address: EZWebCon; a directed Ping
packet; a BOOTP, DHCP, or RARP reply; or commands entered via the command line
interface.
4.1.1 Using EZWebCon
Use the following steps to assign an IP address using the EZWebCon Expert Shell.
1 From the Action menu, select Assign IP Address.
2 Enter or change the IP-related settings:
A For Ethernet Address, enter the number that appears on the bottom label of
your MPS.
B For IP Address, enter the desired IP address to use for this MPS.
C For Subnet Mask, change the values provided only if you wish to use a mask
other than the default. The default value should be correct in most cases.
D For Loadhost, enter the IP address of the loadhost where you intend to store
your operating code and SDK files (if used).
3 Click OK.
4 Reboot the MPS. EZWebCon will let you know whether the configuration was
successful.
Note: If you have an older version of EZWebCon, refer to the Readme that
was included with it.
4.1.2 Using a Directed Ping Packet
The ARP/ping method is available under UNIX and Windows-based systems. If the MPS
has no IP address, it will set its address from the first directed IP packet it receives.
