Introduction

About Your Network Interface

The EpsonNet 10/100 Base Tx Int. Print Server 5 is a network interface that plugs into an optional interface slot of an Epson device to enable the device to connect directly to your network.
Because the network interface supports multiple protocols and automatically detects protocols on your network, you can print from Microsoft
®
IBM
OS/2 applications.
Use EpsonNet Config or EpsonNet Config with Web Browser, the configuration utilities provided with your product, to quickly and easily configure the network interface to use protocols such as TCP/IP, NetWare, NetBEUI, IPX/SPX, AppleTalk SNMP.
Note:
The EpsonNet Config utility configures the network interface to work only with protocols that exist on your network. This does not imply that you can use all of the above-mentioned protocols on your network or operating system. The protocols that the network interface can use may vary depending on the operating system and the network configuration.

Configuring the Network Interface Using EpsonNet Config with Web Browser

After you have assigned an IP address to the network interface using EpsonNet EasyInstall, EpsonNet Config for Windows or Macintosh, or the arp/ping command, you can configure the network interface using EpsonNet Config with Web Browser.
Note:
A Web browser must be installed on your computer.
TCP/IP must be correctly set for the computer and the network
interface.
Do not run both EpsonNet Config for Windows or Macintosh and
EpsonNet Config with Web Browser at the same time.
Your browser may restrict some characters you can use. For details,
see your browser or operating system documentation.
If you are using the dial-up environment and not using NetWare,
select Disable on the NetWare screen. If Enable is selected, the extra account may be charged when you are using the dial-up router.
Follow the steps below to change the IP address using EpsonNet Config with Web Browser.

2. Run EpsonNet Config with Web Browser using one of the following ways.
Run EpsonNet Config for Windows or Macintosh. Select
the device you want to configure from the list and then click Launch Browser.
Open your browser, and then type in the IP address of the
network interface directly. Do not run EpsonNet Config for Windows or Macintosh.
http://IP address of network interface/
Example: http://192.168.100.201/
Note:
To check the IP address of the network interface, use EpsonNet Config. For details, see “About EpsonNet Config for Windows” for Windows users, or “About EpsonNet Config for Macintosh” for Macintosh users.
Note on NetWare setting:
From any NetWare client, log in to the target NetWare server
or NDS context with supervisor privileges.
You cannot create a print server, print queue, or printer with
EpsonNet Config with Web Browser. You must create these objects before using EpsonNet Config with Web Browser.
3. Click TCP/IP under Network on the Configuration menu to display the TCP/IP setting screen.

4. Select a method for acquiring the IP address. When you select
Auto, an IP address is automatically assigned to the network interface via DHCP. If you want to set the IP address manually, select Manual.
Note:
The network administrator must check any changes made to the
IP address settings.
When Auto is selected, an IP address can be acquired via
DHCP. To use the DHCP server, make sure it is installed on your computer and correctly configured. See your operating system’s online help for detailed instructions.
If Set Using Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA)
is enabled, a private IP address is automatically assigned to the network interface even when there are no DHCP servers on your system or your network.
If the Dynamic DNS function is not supported, we recommend
that you select Manual and then enter an IP address. This is because if you select Auto, the IP address of the network interface changes every time you turn on the device so that you need to change the printer port setting accordingly.
5. To assign an IP address manually, enter the IP address, the subnet mask, and the default gateway. Be sure the IP address does not conflict with any other devices on the network.
Note:
If there is a server or a router functioning as a gateway, enter the IP address of the server or the router for the gateway address. If there is no gateway, leave the default values there.
6. If you want to get a private address between 169.254.1.1 and
169.254.254.254 automatically when an IP address cannot be obtained by the DHCP server, select Enable for Set Using
Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA); otherwise, select Disable.
99
7. When setting an IP address using the ping command, select
Enable for Set Using PING. Select Disable when setting an IP address with EpsonNet Config; this prevents any unexpected change of the IP address.
Note:
Be sure to select Disable when not using ping; this prevents an unexpected change of the IP address by EpsonNet WebManager.
8. Select Enable for Acquire DNS Server Address Automatically if you want to acquire the DNS server address
using the DHCP server.
If you want to enter the DNS server address manually, select Disable and then enter the IP address of the DNS server.
9. Select Enable for Acquire Host Name and Domain Name Automatically if you want to acquire the host name and the domain name using the DHCP server.
If you want to specify manually, enter the host name and the domain name in the text boxes.
10. Select Enable for Register Network Interface Address to DNS Server if you want to register the host name and domain name to the DNS server through the DHCP server that supports Dynamic DNS.
If you want to register the host name and the domain name directly to the DNS server, select Enable for Register Network Interface Address Directly to DNS Server.
11. Select Enable or Disable for Use Universal Plug and Play. Select Enable if you want to use the Universal Plug and Play function on Windows Me or future operating systems.
12. Change the default Universal Plug and Play device name, if desired. This device name is used for Windows that supports the Universal Plug and Play function.
