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 2 — Configuring the Adapter

Configuring for NetWare

The Adapter automatically makes itself known on a NetWare
network. The default NetWare Print Server name is PR1.Use this
NetWare Print Server name for either NDS or bindery mode
configuration.

Use your web browser to configure NetWare parameters.
Configure additional queues using the Novell NWAdmin utility.

Note: Intermec recommends you use the Novell 32-bit client on
your Windows PC instead of the Microsoft NetWare client. The
Novell client allows direct configuration of print queues without
the need for a Novell utility like NWAdmin or PCONSOLE.

If you are configuring the first port using the web browser
interface, the NDS Printer Name for this port is automatically
assigned as INTERMECnnnnnn_P1, where nnnnnn is the last six
digits of the MAC address.

You may assign any unique name for the printer if you are using
an alternate configuration method like NWAdmin. For help
configuring the first printer port, see “Configuring the Parallel
Por t” on page 22.

You use the Print Server and Printer names extensively while
configuring NetWare services. These names are actually the
names of the Adapter’s NetWare services. You can change the
default names using the web browser interface. For help, see
“Configuring Port Services” on page 24.

Configuring for UNIX

The Adapter appears to the network as a UNIX host computer
with a unique IP address running the line printer daemon (lpd)
protocol. As a result, any host computer that supports the
Berkeley remote-LPR command can spool jobs to the Adapter
without the need for any special software on the host computer.

Note: Before you configure a UNIX print queue, the Adapter
must have a valid IP address. See “Configuring the TCP/IP
Parameters” on page 17 for help.

34 EasyLAN 100e Ethernet Adapter User’s Guide

Configuring for Berkeley UNIX

Berkeley UNIX host computers include Linux, Digital
Equipment Corporation Digital UNIX, OSF/1, and ULTRIX;
Compaq Tru64 UNIX; SunOS (not Solaris), SCO UNIX; and
many others. Sun Solaris, HP-UX, and IBM AIX users should
skip to the appropriate sections later in this chapter.

Note: Do not use the Linux X-Windows graphical user interface
printer configuration utility, which does not work with the
Adapter. Instead, Linux users should follow the configuration
steps listed in this section.

Note: SCO UNIX users should use the ripconf command to
create a printer and automatically configure the /etc/printcap file
(you still need to edit the /etc/hosts file).

Enter the Adapter’s service name (INTERMEC_nnnnnn_P1
where nnnnnn is the last six digits of the MAC address) as the
name of the printer (refer to the Adapter’s test label for the exact
name of this service), and enter the name of the Adapter that you
assigned in the etc/hosts file as the remote host name. Because
this name must be unique for each printer, we recommend using
the INTERMEC_nnnnnn_P1 service instead of the generic
BINARY_P1 service.

Chapter 2 — Configuring the Adapter

To configure as a Berkeley UNIX host

1 Edit the /etc/hosts file (or equivalent local host table). For

example:

192.189.207.33 imcprinter

2 Edit the printcap file. For example:

LabelPrinter:\

:lp=:\

:rm=IMCD:\

:rp=BINARY_P1:\

:sd=/usr/spool/LabelPrinter:

where:

LabelPrinter is the queue name.

IMC matches the name in the hosts file.

EasyLAN 100e Ethernet Adapter User’s Guide 35

Chapter 2 — Configuring the Adapter

BINARY_P1 is the Adapter’s service name. Use TEXT_P1
instead of BINARY_P1 for text files.

sd

is the spool directory.

3 Create the spool directory. The lpd spool directory is usually

located in the /usr/spool directory. To create a new spool
directory, use the mkdir command. For example:

mkdir /usr/spool/lpd/LabelPrinter

4 Print using the standard lpr command:

lpr –PLabelPrinter filename

For AT&T based UNIX systems, such as SCO, use the
standard lp command:

lp –dLabelPrinter filename

Configuring for Sun Solaris

To use the Adapter with Sun Solaris, first add both the Adapter’s
IP address and name to the /etc/hosts file using the Admintool
utility Host Manager.

To use Host Manager to add the IP address

lp –dLabelPrinter filename.

Note: We recommend using the /etc/hosts file for the printer
name rather than NIS or other name services.

Due to a bug in the Sun lpd implementation on Solaris 2.4 and
earlier releases, you may encounter printing problems on very
long print jobs. Configure the Adapter as an HP JetDirect card
using the HP JetAdmin for UNIX software for a bug work­around.

Solaris print queues can also be configured from the UNIX shell
using the lpadmin command.

Troubleshooting and Managing the Adapter

This chapter explains troubleshooting and managing the
EasyLAN 100e Ethernet adapter and covers these topics:

• Troubleshooting Printing Problems

• Troubleshooting Network Configuration Problems

• Managing the Adapter

•Printing Test Label

• Reloading Firmware

• Using the Web Browser Interface

EasyLAN 100e Ethernet Adapter User’s Guide 41

Chapter 3 — Troubleshooting and Managing the Adapter

Troubleshooting Printing Problems

First, make sure the printer has power. Check the printer
connection to your computer. Verify the printer has both media
and ribbon.

If the printer appears to be functioning, test the connection
between the printer and the Adapter by pushing the Te s t button
on the back of the printer for no more than 5 seconds.

Note: If a test label does not print, the printer may still be able to
print through the Adapter. Set up the printer as you normally
would and try printing from an application.

If the test label does not print, try resetting the Adapter to factory
defaults by pressing and holding the recessed Te s t button for
more than 5 seconds.

Troubleshooting Network Configuration Problems

If you are using TCP/IP, make sure that your computer and the
Adapter are on the same IP segment or can reach each other with
a PING command from the host.

The IP address you assign to the Adapter must be on the same
logical network as your host computers (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), or you must properly configure your router
address to work with the Adapter.

As long as your Adapter is set to Auto or DHCP for obtaining an
IP address, the Adapter’s IP address can change. Either configure
your DHCP server to give the Adapter a permanent address lease
or configure the Adapter to be on a static address outside the
scope of DHCP addresses. For more help configuring static IP
addresses, consult your network administrator.

Managing the Adapter

This section explains how to:

• reboot the Adapter.

• set the Adapter to factory defaults.

• print a test label.

42 EasyLAN 100e Ethernet Adapter User’s Guide

•reload firmware.

Rebooting the Adapter

You can reboot (restart) the Adapter using your web browser. For
help opening the Adapter’s Admin page, see “Opening the Web

Resetting the Adapter to Factory Defaults

Use the Te s t button or the web browser interface to set the
Adapter to factory defaults.

Note: This guide covers only the Adapter factory defaults, and
resetting affects only the Adapter, not the printer itself.

If your network uses DHCP, the Adapter may receive a new IP
address after being set to factory defaults. Print a test label to view
the assigned IP address. For help, see “Printing a Test Label” on
page 44. If you do not have a DHCP server, you need to set a
static IP address after setting the Adapter to defaults.

To reset using the Test button

•Press and hold the Te s t button for more than 5 seconds.
