6.1 Installation in a Windows Environment
6-1
TCP/IP Configuration
Chapter 6
This chapter explains how to configure the NIC and your network for
use with TCP/IP communication in various environments. Independent
setup and installation procedures are provided for Windows systems
and for most popular UNIX systems. The NIC TCP/IP capability will
also operate with lpr spoolers on other systems, and with spooler/
supervisor capabilities that communicate raw print jobs to the Print
Server TCP/IP Port. This port number defaults to 10001, but may be
changed to any desired number using the Telnet utility, SNMP, or the
HTML pages accessible via MAP or a Web Browser. Section 6.3
Running Telnet, describes the interactive setup capability accessible
through the Telnet utility on any TCP/IP platform, and is equally
applicable to Windows, UNIX, and other TCP/IP environments. The
use of MAP or a Web Browser to access Web pages in the NIC is
described in Chapter 3.
6.1 Installation in a Windows Environment
The several versions and variations of Microsoft Windows may be used
on a NetWare and/or TCP/IP networks, as well as in a native Microsoft
Windows network. This flexibility allows various options for setting up
the network printing system even though this NIC does not support
NetBEUI. If the Windows workstations are connected to a NetWare
network, configure the printer interfaces for NetWare, and use standard
Windows/NetWare utilities to provide access to the printer. If NetWare
is not to be used, the users may access the printer using TCP/IP.
Windows 95 and Windows NT4.0 users can also use the NIC Peer-to-
Peer capability as described in Chapter 3. The following sections
describe installation using TCP/IP under Windows for Workgroups,
Windows 95, and Windows NT.
