2. Turn off the protocols that you are not utilizing (option 3).
3. Setup the subnet mask and default gateway for the Network Interface Board if applicable
(menu option 1). (If you used BOOTP, this will already have been done).
4. Exit, Save and Reset the Network Interface Board.
You can also use the “User Tools” menu on the operator panel, the HTML pages accessible
via a Web Browser to setup lpr. The password to change parameters with the HTML pages
is the same as the Telnet password.
7.1.1.7 Creating an lpr Queue on the Workstation
Follow the instructions for the lpr spooler of your choice to set up the lpr queue on the
workstations. Enter PORT1 for the Remote Printer Name.
Note: PORT1 must be entered in capital letters.
7.1.2 Microsoft Windows 95/98
Windows 95/98 comes with a TCP/IP stack. To print with this protocol, a client also requires
an lpr utility. This program is available from various sources. The lpr queue can be created
on each workstation or the lpr queue can be created on one workstation and shared on the
network. Windows 95/98 workstations can also share a lpr printer installed on an Windows
NT server on the network.
If you wish to use the Bootp Lite program, you will also need the BOOTPL32.exe provided
with this Network Interface Board on the MAP directory of the CD-ROM.
7.1.2.1 Loading the lpr Spooler
Follow the instructions for the lpr spooler of your choice to set up the spooler on the
workstations.
7.1.2.2 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 MAP utility. Follow the instructions for MAP, which is
documented elsewhere. If you cannot use MAP, you can use either the ARP procedure, or
the BOOTPL32 program.
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
“User Tools” menu on the operator panel, Telnet or the HTML pages accessed by MAP or
Web Browser to change the IP parameters.
7.1.2.3 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 protocol stack must be installed and operating.
You can use BOOTPL32 to configure the IP address instead of ARP.
