Chapter 7 - 2
7.1.1.1 Installing TCP/IP
Follow the instructions for the TCP/IP package of your choice to set up the TCP/IP on the
workstations.
7.1.1.2 Loading the lpr Spooler
Follow the instructions for the lpr spooler of your choice to set up the spooler on the
workstations.
7.1.1.3 Setting up the Network Interface Board
The Network Interface Board must be given IP address and routing information to be used
with TCP/IP. This can be done with either the ARP procedure or the BOOTP Lite program.
Prior to running these programs, install the Network Interface Board in your printer.
Power-up the printer. Keep the status sheet handy for the Ethernet (MAC) address. It should
show that TCP/IP is enabled, but that the Protocol address is not configured. If the unit
already has an IP address, these procedures will not work. However, you can use the “User
Tools” menu on the operator panel of the printer, Telnet to the unit or use the HTML pages
accessed by a Web Browser to change the IP parameters.
7.1.1.4 Assigning IP Address with ARP
The Network Interface Board must be on the same network segment as the workstation that
you are using to configure it. The TCP/IP stack must be installed and operating.
Use the procedures in 7.1.1.5 Assigning IP Address with BOOTP Lite, if you prefer to use
BOOTP Lite to configure the IP address instead of ARP:
1. From Windows, enter the MS/DOS box.
2. At the command prompt enter:
ping XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX: any valid IP address on your network - not the print server
The identified unit should reply.
arp -s YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY 00-40-af-ZZ-ZZ-ZZ
YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY: IP address of Network Interface Board
00-40-af-ZZ-ZZ-ZZ : MAC Address of Network Interface Board
The entry should be accepted.
ping YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY
YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY: IP address of Network Interface Board
Request should time out.
3.
Recycle the power on the printer, or let the Network Interface Board reset itself. The
Network Interface Board will produce a status page that should include the entered IP
address.
4. When the Network Interface Board is up again, type the following at the command
prompt:
ping YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY
