HP J3113A for Fast Ethernet

(10/100Base-TX) networks

Provides an RJ-45 connector (unshielded twisted-pair cable). For 100Base-TX, use Category 5 cable.

2. If Necessary, Set Switches or Jumpers on Your Card

If You Have a Token Ring Card

Token Ring networks operate at 4 Mbps or 16 Mbps. You must set the Data Rate switch on the card to either 4 or 16, depending on your network. If you don’t know, ask your network administrator. The factory default is 16 Mbps.

If You Have a 10/100Base-TX Card

The 10/100TX card is preconfigured for Autonegotiation (jumper P1), which means the card will automatically attempt to connect to your network using the proper speed (10 or 100 Mbps) and duplex mode (Full or Half). In most cases, you do

not need to change the jumper settings. Refer to Appendix A

more information.

4. Turn Off Your Printer and Insert the Card. Then connect the network cables.

Some printers have multiple EIO (Enhanced I/O) slots. You can

install the HP JetDirect card into any EIO slot.

5. Verify That the Card Is Operating Properly.

Turn on the printer and print another configuration page.

Verify that a “JetDirect Configuration Page” also prints.

Check the JetDirect Configuration Page and verify that an “I/O CARD READY” message appears.

Note If other messages appear, see the troubleshooting

sections in the HP JetDirect administrator’s guide provided on the HP JetDirect CD-ROM.

For HP J3113A 10/100Base-TX cards, see appendix A

in this manual for special troubleshooting

information.

6. Configure the Card for Network Operation.

You can use the installation and configuration software on the HP JetDirect CD-ROM, or download it from the World Wide Web.

Refer to the HP JetDirect administrator’s guide (supplied electronically on the CD-ROM).

For many HP printers, you can use the printer’s control panel to configure basic network parameters.

Refer to chapter 3

in this guide.

If the JetDirect card has been configured with an IP address, you can use a supported Web Browser for advanced configuration.

Refer to chapter 4

in this guide.

Introduction

The HP JetDirect 600N family of internal print servers are network interface cards for HP Enhanced I/O (EIO) printers and mopiers. With an HP JetDirect print server, you can connect and share your printer anywhere on your network and print at network speeds.

A typical network using an HP JetDirect 600N print server is illustrated below. The card must first be installed into the printer and connected to the network. Then, you must configure the card for network operation.
