YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY: IP address of Network Interface Board
Continue until you get a reply.
Note: This only enters the IP address; you must use the Telnet facility or the HTML
pages accessed by a Web Browser to complete the IP setup for networks where
subnets are used. See 7.6 Running Telnet, for instructions on how to enter the other
IP parameters.
7.1.1.5 Assigning IP Address with BOOTP Lite
This program uses the BOOTP protocol. 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. The BOOTP Lite program will not work in a Windows PC
Operating as a DHCP Server.
The BOOTPL16.exe program will work with a 16 Bit TCP/IP stack.
1. Copy the BOOTPL16.exe file to the Windows directory of your workstation.
2. Reset the printer.
Note: The Network Interface Board issues the BOOTP request for a finite period of
time. The print server must be freshly reset for this program to work.
3. From Program Manager under File, select Run \windows\ BOOTPL16.exe.
4. Pull down the Admin menu to Configure option.
5. Enter the IP address that you want to assign to the Network Interface Board, its Subnet
Mask (make sure it matches what you are using on your subnet), the Default Gateway
(your router's IP address), and the MAC address of the Network Interface Board
(Hardware Address, listed on the Status sheet as Ethernet Address). Use colons as
delimiters as shown on the status sheet rather than the dashes that Windows uses.
6. Click on Go. You will get a message that the program is Verifying, and then it will tell
you whether the unit is active or not.
7. Wait for about five minutes for the Network Interface Board to reset. The Status sheet
should report the newly entered IP information.
8. Enter the MS/DOS box. At the command prompt enter:
ping YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY
YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY: IP address of Network Interface Board
Continue until you get a reply.
If it does not respond, verify that TCP/IP is enabled on the status sheet. If the status sheet
does not show the IP information, then repeat the above procedures.
7.1.1.6 Setting up IP and lpr Parameters
The Network Interface Board provides for a setup connection via the standard Telnet port. To
be able to make changes to a unit with factory default settings, you must logon as "sysadm".
The default password is also "sysadm" (This password can be changed from the Telnet
utility). Section 7.6 Running Telnet, describes the use of the Telnet utility.
1. Telnet to the Network Interface Board (the login and password are both "sysadm").
