NIB TCP/IP Configuration
A utility called BOOTPL32 is used to configure the IP parameters on the NIB.
Note
❒
The BOOTPL32 utility does not work on a system configured as a DHCP serv-
er.
Reference
For information on setting IP parameters, see “Configuring the Printer for the
Network with the Operation Panel” in the Operating Instructions that comes
with your printer.
A Insert the CD-ROM included.
B In Windows NT 4.0, click on the Windows Start button and select Run.
C Type <Drive>:\MAP\BOOTPL32.EXE (where <Drive> is your CD-ROM)
and click OK to launch the utility.
D Select Configure from the Admin menu.
A Enter the IP parameters.
B Enter the IP address to assign to the NIB.
C Enter the Subnet mask.
If unsure of the correct Subnet mask and the first number in the IP address
is from 192 to 254, then use 255.255.255.0 as the Subnet mask.
D Enter the Default Gateway address (the router's IP address) or leave
blank.
E Enter the Hardware address of the NIB.
This address is listed on the power-up network status page under Network
Address, for example, 00:40:AF:12:34:23.
Please enter it as it appears on the status page.
The status pages (a printer status page NIB) may also be printed using the
front panel of the printer.
E Click on Go to send the new settings to the NIB.
After a few minutes (usually between 1 and 2 minutes, but possibly up to 5
minutes on very large or busy networks), the NIB will reset and print its net-
work status page.
The new IP parameters will be listed in the TCP/IP Network Information sec-
tion of the status page.
If the status page doesn't print, recheck the Hardware Address entry in
BOOTPL32.
