NTRODUCTION

NOTE The network addresses used in this manual are shown for example only. Network addresses used in your installation should be within the appropriate address range and have the correct subnet mask for your network segment.

The IntecLAN Internal Print Server is a fast 10BASE-T/ 100BASE-TX/1000Base-T network interface.

This network print server supports IEEE 802.2, IEEE 802.3, Ethernet-II and SNAP, and can detect those frame types automatically.

It supports major protocols such as TCP/IP, EtherTalk (Mac) and NetBEUI (Windows).

The print server has a number of security features, including SSL/TLS, IP Filtering, disabling unused protocols, etc.

Password protection ensures that the print server is safe from unauthorised changes in settings. You can also restrict access by disabling network services, protocols and ports you are not using. You can limit access to specific authorised IP addresses as well.

The SMTP feature allows you to have an E-mail sent to designated addresses when certain errors occur.

NOTE Change the emulation in the Printer Menu settings to Auto o r PS before printing the network summary.

ETWORK SUMMARY PRINTOUT

The printer server’s network summary reports the printer’s MAC Address (Ethernet address).

1. Turn the printer on.

2. Press the print server Test button for more than three

seconds and release.

The printer’s MAC Address (Ethernet address) appears on the first page under General Information.

The first six digits of the MAC Address are the same for all IntecLAN print servers.

The last six digits of the MAC Address are unique to each IntecLAN, and are required to set up the print server.

The hub link status results are also printed (normally “OK”).

NOTE If anything other than “OK” is displayed see page 49.

CONFIGURING

PRINT SERVER

Section 1: configuring the print server > 14

SING A WEB BROWSER

If the print server is connected to the network using TCP/IP, its settings and the printer menu settings can be configured using a Web browser.

To apply configuration changes using a Web browser, you will be prompted for a username and password:

username = root default password = the last six digits of the MAC address.

Note the password is case sensitive, use uppercase.

AUNCHING THE WEB BROWSER

NOTE The following illustrations are from Microsoft Internet Explorer.

1. Have a copy of the network summary printout to hand (see page 11).

> The MAC address is listed under “General Information. ”

You will use the last six digits of the MAC Address (minus punctuation marks) as the password when logging in for the first time.

> The IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway are

listed under “TCP/IP Configuration.”

2. Launch the Web browser.

Using a web browser > 15

3. Enter the print server’s IP Address.

4. Press the ENTER key.

The Printer Status window displays.

5. To ensure correct operation, change the browser cache or temporary internet settings to ensure the latest version is viewed at each session. For example, using Internet Explorer:

(a) In the Tools pull-down menu, select Internet

Options.

(b) On the General tab, under Temporary Internet

files, click Settings….

programs, select Every visit to the page.

(d) Click OK.

SING

TELNET

CAUTION!

Please ensure that a valid IP address for your network environment is used. Use of an incorrect IP address can cause serious problems on your network.

XAMPLE

TELNET

TELNET requires the print server to have a valid IP address configured. If the NIC already has an IP address configured, skip steps 1 to 3 below.

NOTE The method of configuring commands may differ between workstations. Refer to the workstation’s manual.

1. Use the PING command to confirm the connection with the network card.

Example

For IP address 172.168.20.127:

CONFIGURATION

ping 172.168.20.127

If there is no reply, there is a problem with the configuration of the IP address (the IP address has been already set manually or by the DHCP/RARP server), or with the network. Reset the network interface card settings to the default and try to set a temporary IP address. If you still have the problem after resetting the network interface card, consult the network manager.

2. Login to the network card using TELNET. Example

For IP address 172.168.20.127

telnet 172.168.20.127

Using TELNET > 20

You should see a sequence similar to the following example:

Trying 172.168.20.127 Connected to 172.168.20.127 Escape character is ‘^]’. EthernetBoard LAN PRINTER". login: root ‘root’ user needs password to login. password: User ‘root’ logged in. No. MENU (level.1)

----------------------------------- 1:Status / Information

2:Printer Config 3:Network Config 4:Security Config 5:Maintenance 99:Exit setup Please select (1-99)?

3. Enter the number of the item to be changed. The details window for that item displays.

4. When the configuration is complete, click Exit Setup to save your change. To exit without saving your modification, select Quit.

5. Turn the printer off and on again.

NOTE The network card continues to use pre-transmission settings until the printer is turned off and back on again.
