07/18/2008 BradyConnect 10/100 Internal Print Server User Guide Y885775

Getting Started

Assigning an IP Address

Before you can begin working with 10/100 Internal PS, you must get or assign an IP address for the 10/100 Internal PS device.

There are three different ways to assign an IP address. Here is a list and a brief description of each method:

• Web View — Browser-enabled method to assign an IP address.

• DHCP — See your LAN administrator for more information.

• Telnet — DOS command to assign an IP address.

Important • Throughout the procedures in this cha pter , there are some feat ures that require the

default User ID and/or default password. If you are prompted, these are the defaults:

• User ID: admin

• Password: 1234

With Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

If your network uses DHCP, your 10/100 Internal PS device is assigned a temporary IP address.

Note • Check with your Network Administrator to see whether your network uses DHCP.

Without DHCP

If your network does not use a dynamic IP addressing system (such as DHCP), you need to set a permanent IP address for the 10/100 Internal PS device.

Y885775 BradyConnect 10/100 Internal Print Server User Guide 07/18/2008

In a Non-Windows Environment

These steps can be used to assign an IP address using the control panel (LCD).

Assigning an IP address from the printer LCD

To assign an IP address from the printer LCD, complete these steps:

1. Connect Ethernet before turning on the printer.

2. Turn on (I) the printer and wait until the LCD says PRINTER READY. If you do not

have a network cable in the port, the 10/100 Internal PS prints the configuration label when it is ready.

3. On the printer control panel, press SETUP/EXIT.

4. On the printer control panel, press PREVIOUS until you reach the NETWORK

SETTINGS menu item.

5. You can edit any of the following network settings in order to communicate with any

10/100 Internal PS in your network environment.

Getting Started

Assigning an IP Address

Important • To change any of these settings, you need to enter the printer password. The

default password is

• ip resolution (dynamic, permanent): The printer menu item

must be set to

1234.

IP RESOLUTION

PERMANENT if attempting to assign the IP address from the

control panel.

• default gateway (default setting of 000.000.000.000)

• subnet mask (default setting 255.255.255.0)

• ip address (if initial default setting is 0.0.0.0, after 2 minutes this defaults to

192.168.254.254)

• ip protocol (gleaning only, RARP, BOOTP, DHCP, DHCP and BOOTP, all)

07/18/2008 BradyConnect 10/100 Internal Print Server User Guide Y885775

Getting Started

Assigning an IP Address

Assigning an IP Address via a Telnet Session

If your environment is not Windows-based, this section is for you. However, this method can be used in a Windows environment, too.

The methods used for assigning an IP address with a Telnet session are Static Route and Gleaning.

Important • This applies to any TCP/IP-capable workstation/host networked with the Brady

printer. Both, the workstation/host and the 10/100 Internal PS, must be on the same network segment.

Before you can Telnet to the 10/100 Internal PS and configure it, you must first assign the 10/100 Internal PS a temporary IP address.

Static Route

To use this method, complete these steps:

1. Turn on (I) the printer and wait for 2 minutes to allow for the device to complete the

self-test. During this time, the 10/100 Internal PS performs an address broadcast. If no address is

assigned to the unit (via DHCP or Bootp), it use s a default address. The default a ddress for 10/100 Internal PS is 192.168.254.254. Print the 10/100 Internal PS configuration label to confirm the address. For details, see Before You Begin on page 34.

2. You can use the route add command to place the default IP address into the

workstation's network routing table.

Example • In the next step, **** is the IP address on the 10/100 Internal PS

configuration label.

3. At the workstation/host command prompt (in Windows, at the DOS prompt), type:

route add **** "IP address of the workstation" 0

Note • The zero (0) placed at the end of the “route add” command is optional on some

systems.

4. Telnet to the 10/100 Internal PS by typing:

"Telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"

(where xxx.... is the IP addres of the printer).

The password is 1234.

5. At this point, you can alter the settings as desired. When complete, do a reset and allow

the 10/100 Internal PS self-test to complete before proceeding with any communications activity.

Y885775 BradyConnect 10/100 Internal Print Server User Guide 07/18/2008

Getting Started

Assigning an IP Address

Gleaning

A method by which the 10/100 Internal PS uses the IP address of the first ping packet that is sent to its hardware address.

Note • Gleaning works only on local subnets at routers. It does not pass Address Resolution

Protocol (ARP) broadcasts.

To use this method, complete these steps:

1. Add an entry to the ARP table that assigns an IP a ddress to an Ethernet (hardware)

address. The syntax for this command is:

arp -s "temporary ipaddress of print server" "MAC Address (print server hardware address)" arp -s <temporary ip address> <MAC Address>

Example • You would type:

arp -s 10.3.50.59 00-07-4d-68-1D-B9-86

2. Power cycle the printer.

3. As the printer reboots, begin a continuous ping to the address assigned previously.

Note • Most UNIX systems use a continuous ping.

To use a continuous ping from a Windows host, you must issue the command:

ping -t "ipaddress".

4. When the 10/100 Internal PS begins to respond, stop the ping activity.

In Windows,

5. Telnet to the 10/100 Internal PS and assign the appropriate IP address, subnet mask, and

Ctrl + C halts the pinging.

gateway, if applicable.

6. Once this is complete, reset the 10/100 Internal PS.

For details on resetting the 10/100 Internal PS, see Reset on page 30.

Ping the Printer

To ping the printer, complete these steps:

If you are having problems printing, verify that there is communication between the 10/100 Intern al PS and the printer. Suggestions include the following:

• Ping the printer to determine the ability to communicate with the printer. See Ping the

Printer.

• Or open a Telnet session and send a ZPL command to print a configuration label. See

Telnet on page 85 for more information.

• Check obvious error conditions such as head open, out of media, out of ribbon, etc.

• If problems persist, contact Technical Support.

1. Open a DOS window.

To open a DOS window, click on

Start > Run.

2. In the Open text box, type: cmd

3. From the DOS prompt, type:

ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the print server

FTP

Embedded within the 10/100 Internal PS is an FTP server application that processes file transfers from a host computer to the printer.

If the printer is on a network, label formats can be generated and data can be transferred without setting up a print queue.

To send information to the printer in a Windows environment, try this exercise:

1. In Notepad, generate the following ZPL II code:

^XA ^FO100,100 ^CF0,55^FDBrady Corporation^FS ^XZ

2. Save the file with the name: c:\test.txt.

3. Open the MS-DOS Command Prompt and type:

ftp <IP of 10/100 PS>

Example • If the IP address of your 10/100 Internal PS device is 12.3.4.123, you

would type:

ftp 12.3.4.123

This opens a session with the FTP server.

Note • The default user name is blank.

4. Type your user name and press Enter.

5. Type:

put c:\test.txt This transfers test.txt to the printer, and the printer generates a labe l.

Print Queues

Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD)-Style Print Queue

BSD is a version of the UNIX OS that includes TCP/IP.

Configuring the Print Queue

For remote BSD-style LPD printing, add the 10/100 Internal PS as a remote printer in the /etc/printcap database to each host printing to the 10/100 Internal PS. You can add printcap options as needed. If you are unfamiliar with these options, consu lt the printe r documentat ion.

Important • You must be logged in as root.

The entry looks similar to this:

local_print_queue_name|[printer_model_and_manufacturer]:\ :lp=:mx#0:rm=BradyConnect_name:\ :rp=remote_print_queue_name:\ :sd=path_to_spool_directory:lf=just log_file_name

local_print_queue_name — This defines the name of the printcap entry. It is used by

the LPR/LPD utilities to specify which printcap entry is being refe re nced. Additio nal printca p entries can be added as needed for different queue types. Each entry must have a unique local_print_queue_name and a different spool directory to work properly. When you are ready to print, use the local_print_queue_name that matches the data type of the file to be printed.

BradyConnect_name — This is the name (alias) of the BradyConne ct 10 /100 Internal PS. This must be the same name as entered in the /etc/ hosts file or your NIS or DNS system. An IP address may also be used here.

remote_print_queue_name — This entry determines the BradyConnect port where the print job will be printed and optionally specifies ASCII printing that mu st end for LF1.

path_to_spool_directory — This is the path to a directory where the print jobs will be spooled for this queue. You must create a unique spool directory for each printcap entry.

log_file_name — This is the path to a file where error information from the LPD will be logged.

Example • Your printcap entries might look similar to this:

Ascii_files|form.feed.Queue_on_Port_1:\ :lp=:mx#0:rm=pserver1:rp=MYQUEUELF1:\ :sd=/usr/spool/myqueuelf1:\

:lf=/usr/spool/myqueuelf1/queue.log

Important • Each printcap entry must have a different spool directory to work properly.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) DHCP is an alternative to another

network IP management protocol, Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP). Like BOOTP, DHCP can configure an IP address, gateway, subnet, system name, and name server. When speaking about the 10/100 Internal PS, BOOTP, and DHCP configure the same options.

delete bytes This number is used to remove characters from the beginning of every job sent to the logical printer. The value for delete bytes can range from 0 to 255.

dynamic A dynamic configuration, as the name implies, means that it ch anges. BOOTP and DHCP offer time-based leases for the configurations they assign . Their changes depen d on the time-based lease, and how often the printer itself is offline and online again. A dynamic configuration can include BOOTP or DHCP.

Ethernet A widely used local area network system based on the IEEE 802.3 standard.

firmware Software routines that are stored in ROM (Read Only Memory). This is typically

part of a device, such as a printer or 10/100 Inte rnal PS.

FTP File Transfer Protocol, a TCP/IP-related protocol for transferring files between devices on a network.

Flash memory A type of memory that allows read-and-write operations, but permanently stores data when the power is turned off. Useful for storing firmware beca use it can be easily updated by downloading new code.

gateway A device that converts one higher-level network protocol to a different higher level protocol.

gleaning A temporary, local configuration option. Gleaning lets you add the address of the device you want to configure to your local workstation’s ARP table. This configuration is not permanent and is valid only from the workstation from which you entered the ARP information. After the information is entered into the workstation’s ARP table, the user follows up with a Telnet session to enter the information permanently.

IP Internet Protocol, a packet-based protocol used for delivering data across networks.

IP address A network address used by the TCP/IP protocol.

JetAdmin A Hewlett-Packard printer ma nagement program available fo r NetWare and

TCP/IP.

logical Refers to conceptual rather than physical. For example, a computer might have a single physical connection to the network (an Ethernet adapter card), but could have logical connections to several other devices on the network.

LPD LPD stands for Line Printer Daemon; it is the part that receives and processes the request. A "daemon" is a server or agent.

MAC Address Media Access Control. Ethernet address that corresponds to the assigned IP address.

name server A workstation on a TCP/IP network that provides a list of all workstations on

the network.

node A device connected to a network, such as a computer or print server.

parallel port A port on a device that sends information in groups of bits over multiple

wires, one wire for each bit in a group.

ping A TCP/IP command that determines whether a device is accessible on the network.

POP3 Post Office Protocol, the protocol used to retrieve email through a mail server.

port A physical connector, such as the parallel port, or a logical connection to a device.

post-string A string that is sent at the end of every job going to the logical printer.

Maximum 64 characters long.

pre-string A string that is sent at the beginning of each job that goes to the logical printer. Max 64 characters long.

print server A device in a network that changes a network protocol into a printer protocol.

protocol A method of sending and receiving data between two or more workstations on a

network, and ensuring that the data is received without errors.

RARP Reverse Arp, a standard TCP/IP method of determin ing a device’s IP address based on its Ethernet address.

raw TCP port A type of TCP port in which data is passed unmodified to the receiving node.

RJ45 A type of modular jack connector similar to a telephone connector with up to eight

wires. Used for 10BaseT Ethernet connections and for serial port connections.

serial port On a printer or print server , a port that transfers data one bit at a time. Seri al ports usually have either a 25-pin, 9-pin “D,” or RJ-45 connector setting mode (parallel port).

A mode that the print server is set to for the highest level of parallel port communications.

server A device on a local area network that provides services to client computers on the network.

SMTP Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, a protocol used to send email messages through a mail server.

SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol, a protocol for monitoring and controlling devices on a network.

spooling In printing applications, spooling is the transfer of data to a temporary storage area on disk (the print queue) prior to printing. Spo ol in g al lo ws ma ny job s to be qu eu ed to a single printer.

static Refers to a static IP address. A ll info rmation is provided by the network admini strator.
