Chapter 1 — Installing the Adapter
Introducing the EasyLAN 100e Ethernet Adapter
The external EasyLAN 100e Ethernet adapter
(P/N 225-746-001) acts as a print server, letting you share
printers across your Ethernet network.
You can connect the Adapter to these printers:
•EasyCoder C4
• EasyCoder PC4
• EasyCoder PC41
•PF8d
•PF8t
The Adapter uses a 10BaseT/100BaseTx connector. This
connector supports the 10BaseT network speed of 10 Mbps
(Standard Ethernet), while the 100Base Tx supports a network
speed of 100 Mbps (Fast Ethernet).

Chapter 1 — Installing the Adapter
Installing the Adapter
Before you install the Adapter, make sure that you have the
appropriate Ethernet cable. Make sure that you have loaded
media and ribbon into the printer and connected the power cord.
For help, see the printer’s quick start guide for your printer.
Connecting the Adapter to Your Network
This section explains how to connect the Adapter first to your
printer, and then to your network.
To connect the Adapter to your printer
1 Take note of the MAC address printed on the Adapter’s
underside. You will need this address to configure the printer.
2 Turn off the printer.
3 Plug the Adapter parallel port connector into the parallel port
on the printer.
4 Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the 10BaseT/
100BaseTx connector on the Adapter.
5 Connect the other end of the cable to an active Ethernet
(data) port for your network.

To connect to your network
You are now ready to start using your printer. If you want to print
a test label or set a static IP address for the Adapter, see the next
two sections.
Printing a Test Label
Test that the Adapter works properly by printing a test label. The
test label shows the Adapter’s current status, network settings,
and network statistics.
To print a test label
Chapter 1 — Installing the Adapter
1 Turn on the printer.
When you turn on the printer, the Adapter runs through a set
of power-up diagnostics for a few seconds.
2 If the Adapter is operating properly, the LED flashes
momentarily and then turns off. After this, the LED flashes
whenever there is network activity.
3 The Adapter obtains its TCP/IP settings automatically,
including an IP address, if you have a DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol) server on your network.
1 Wait until the power-up cycle finishes and the LED turns off.
2 Insert a small, straightened paper clip into the recessed Te s t /
Factory button.
3 Gently press the button once and then remove the paper clip.
If you cannot print a test label, see Chapter 3, “Troubleshooting
and Managing the Adapter.”
You c an a lso use the Te s t button to reset the Adapter to its factory
default settings. For help, see “Resetting the Adapter to Factory
Defaults” on page 43.
Assigning the IP Address
The Adapter connects to the network automatically and obtains
its TCP/IP settings, including an IP address, if your network
assigns IP addresses from a DHCP server.
EasyLAN 100e Ethernet Adapter User’s Guide 5
Chapter 1 — Installing the Adapter
If your network does not use DHCP or if you want to configure a
static IP address, use ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) to
assign a fixed IP address to the Adapter. Configure a static IP
address using the web browser interface (see Chapter 2,
“Configuring the Adapter”).
Note: The IP address you assign to the Adapter must be on the
same logical network as your host computer. For example, if your
computer has an IP address of 192.189.207.3, the Adapter should
have an IP address of 192.189.207.n (where n is an integer
between 1 and 254).
To get the IP address using a Windows-based PC
1 On your PC, choose: Start > Program > Accessories >
Command Prompt. The command prompt appears.
2 Type the following command (and then press Enter):
arp -a
3 Verify that there are ARP entries in the table. Go to Step 5 if
there are no entries.
4 Ping a device in your network by typing:
ping nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
where nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is the IP address of any network
device (your own PC, for example). This command puts an
ARP entry in the table.
5 Type the following command:
arp -s nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn nn-nn-nn-nn-nn-nn
ping nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
arp -d nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
where nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is the IP address of the Adapter, and
nn-nn-nn-nn-nn-nn
is the MAC address of the Adapter.
Example:
arp -s 192.168.3.191 00-40-8c-10-00-86
ping 192.168.3.191
arp -d 192.168.3.191
6 EasyLAN 100e Ethernet Adapter User’s Guide
Chapter 1 — Installing the Adapter
The host returns either Reply from 192.168.3.191... or
a similar message. This reply indicates that the address has been
set and communications established.
To get the IP address from a UNIX host machine
These steps also work with Microsoft Windows.
• Type the following command:
arp -s host_name nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn temp
ping host_name
where:
host_name is the name mapped to the Adapter’s IP address.
The default name is
INTERMEC_
nnnnnn
, where nnnnnn is
the last six digits of the MAC address.
nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn is the MAC address for the Adapter.
Example:
arp -s INTERMEC_0B766F 00:40:8c:10:00:86 temp
ping INTERMEC_0B766F
The host returns either INTERMEC_0B766F is alive or a similar
message. This message indicates that the address has been set and
communications established.
When you execute the PING command for the first time, you
may experience a longer than usual response time.
The ARP command can vary between different UNIX systems.
Berkeley System Distribution (BSD) type systems expect the host
name and node address in reverse order. Furthermore, IBM AIX
systems require the additional argument
ether. For example:
arp -s ether host_name 00:40:8c:10:00:86 temp
Setting Up to Print
After you have connected the Adapter to your network and
established an IP address, you are ready to set up your printer for
printing. This section explains:
• how to print using file transfer protocol (FTP).
• how to set up printing on a Windows NT 4 PC or Windows
2000/XP PC.
EasyLAN 100e Ethernet Adapter User’s Guide 7
Chapter 1 — Installing the Adapter
• how to install and use the Intermec print monitor on a
Windows 95/98 PC.
To set up your printer to print from a UNIX system, see
“Configuring for UNIX” on page 34.
Print Using FTP
After installing and connecting the Adapter in your network, you
have several options for sending print requests. This section
explains how to print using FTP.
To print using an FTP session
1 From an MS DOS prompt, log in to the Adapter using the
command
address or name assigned to the adapter. The default name is
INTERMEC_
the MAC address.
2 Press Enter. You do not need to enter a specific user id and
password.
3 Enter the following command to print the test label:
put c:\path\file_name p1
ftp
ipaddress
nnnnnn
, where ipaddress is the IP
, where nnnnnn is the last six digits of
where:
c: the drive with the file you want to print.
path is file directory.
file_name is name of the file you want to print.
p1 is name of the port you want to print to.
4 Log out using the command
quit, bye, or exit,
depending on your FTP version.
Printing From a Windows NT 4 PC or Windows 2000/XP PC
This section explains how to set up printing from a Windows NT
4 PC or Windows 2000/XP PC.
Setting Up for a Windows NT 4 PC
To print from a Windows NT 4 PC, prepare the Windows NT 4
PC for LPR/LPD printing over the TCP/IP network, and then
install the printer.
8 EasyLAN 100e Ethernet Adapter User’s Guide
Chapter 1 — Installing the Adapter

EasyLAN 100e Ethernet Adapter User’s Guide 9
Chapter 1 — Installing the Adapter
Setting Up for a Windows 2000/XP PC
Before you install the printer on a Windows 2000/XP PC, you
need to install the printer driver, InterDriver. See your printer’s
Software page on the PrinterCompanion CD for help.
To install the printer, use the Add Printer wizard to add your
printer using the following settings when prompted:
• Choose Local Printer.
• Choose Create a new port and then Standard TCP/IP Port.
• Choose the InterDriver for your printer.
You can print after you install the printer as a TCP/IP port.
Setting up for Windows Vista
Windows Vista uses the installation wizard to manage the
InterDriver set up. Use the Add Printer wizard to add your
printer using the following settings when prompted:
• Choose Local Printer.
• Choose Create a new port and then Standard TCP/IP Port.
• Choose the InterDriver for your printer.
You can print after you install the printer as a TCP/IP port.
Setting Up for a Windows 95/98 System
If you use a Windows 95/98 system, you must install the
Intermec Print Monitor to print over an Ethernet network.
The Intermec Print Monitor is available on the
PrinterCompanion CD that ships with your printer. Print
Monitor creates a network port for the Ethernet link on a
Windows 95/98 system. Consequently, the port acts
transparently with any printer driver for Intermec printers and
any application program. Because it uses TCP/IP, Print Monitor
can be used with IP routers and other IP-based equipment.
