Kodak 10/100 NIC Introduction and Configuration

1.5 Upgrading from a Kodak 10Mbit NIC

I

The Kodak 10/100 Mbit NIC may be used to upgrade any Kodak printers
that are currently using a Kodak 10Mbit NIC with a ÒMIL-3007EKÒsticker
on the bottom of the NIC.

Note: This manual is applicable only to Kodak printers using this Kodak

10/100 NIC upgrade relative to NIC conÞguration methods.

1.6 Kodak 10/100 NIC Features

I

The NIC is an autodetecting 10 or 100 Mbps, network interface card that
allows users to connect directly to a Kodak printer or proofer on Ethernet
networks using 10BaseT or 100BaseT network media.

The NIC connects printers directly to Ethernet networks utilizing IPX,
EtherTalk, TCP/IP and/or NetBios/Netbeui protocols in support of Novell
NetWare 3.x, Netware 4.x, Netware NDS, IBM OS/2, MS-DOS, Windows

3.x, Windows 95, Windows NT 3.51, Windows NT 4.0, Macintosh and
Unix environments. In general, any system that supports the NIC
protocols should be able to use this NIC to print to Kodak printers.

1.6.1 Hardware Features

¥ NIC motherboard, with Ethernet controller and custom shared DMA

interface to Kodak printer. The NIC connects directly to Ethernet
networks via an RJ-45 connector.

¥ CPU: An Intel 80186 processor, with a 16 MHz clock.

¥ 1 MByte of memory via Flash EPROMs: 2 Flash EPROMs are 29F040

devices. Each EPROM is 4 Mbits and arranged in 2 ´ 256k ´ 8 format.
Firmware upgrades of the ßash EPROMs can be done via network
connections.

¥ MAC chipset: Ethernet controller is 10/100 Mbps, with SRAM for data

buffering, and its own memory management.10 Mbit vs. 100 Mbit
autosensing accommodates network speed capabilities.

¥ 2 switches on the NIC faceplate provide Normal, Normal + Telnet, and

NIC conÞguration test page modes of NIC operation.

¥ Green and Yellow LEDs indicate network connectivity and trafÞc.

1-4 July 1998

1.7 Protocols

¥ The NIC supports TCP/IP, Novell IPX, EtherTalk and NetBeui/NetBios

protocols.

¥ Users can print in either PostScript or raster mode.

IMPORTANT: Printing in raster mode using EtherTalk is possible only

from a Macintosh. For non-Macintosh systems using
EtherTalk, you can print only in PostScript mode.

1.8 Network Performance

Network performance depends heavily on the topology of a network
(networked elements, that is, the # of users/nodes, inter-connectivity and
conÞguration of hubs, switches, subnets, routers, etc.) and will vary for
speciÞc environments.

A color-capable printer accepting large print jobs (1 to 100 Mbytes) may
be a critical factor in environments where network utilization optimization
is critical. A Kodak printer with a Kodak 10/100 NIC operating in a 100
Mbit environment may drastically improve your networkÕs performance
because it will only require a fraction (1/10) of the subnet network
bandwidth that would be necessary if it was operating at 10 Mbits.

1.9 NIC and Printer Installation/ConÞguration Overview

The diagram on the next page and the text that follows provide an
overview of

NIC and printer installation and conÞguration procedures.

Printer/NIC Installation and ConÞguration Overview

Step 1:Determine your Network and Printing Environment. (Ch1:Intro/Overview)
NIC supports TCP/IP, Novell Netware, AppleTalk & Native Windows (NetBeui) Protocols.

Step 2: Gather Necessary Hardware & Software Components. (Ch1:Intro/Overview)

NIC, NIC ConÞg S/W, Printer, Printer ConÞg S/W, i.e.PostScript Drivers and Raster Export

Modules

Step 3: Install the NIC in the Printer.

NIC Pre-installed in Printer?

Yes

Step 4: ConÞgure the NIC. (Ch3:FastManage, Ch9:Apple/Macintosh, Appendix: A Telnet)

Recommendation: Use defaults until successful network printing is demonstrated.

Complete the following if using TCP/IP. (TCP/IP minimally requires an IP Address).

The quickest method (when IP = 0.0.0.0) is to use ÒarpÓ and ÒtelnetÓ commands.

1) Set NIC mode switches in Telnet mode (D1 up, D2 down) and power cycle printer.

2) Use arp -s <IP Address> <NIC Ethernet Address>

3) Use telnet <IP Address> 2002.

5) Follow Telnet Ethernet>TCP/IP>Set IP menus to set IP address and then Reset the NIC.

6) Power cycle the printer.

No

(Ch2:NIC Install) Requires NIC, Phillips or

T10 Torque Screwdriver, and Static Strap.

Use Server
Print Queues?

No

Step 6: ConÞgure Workstations for PostScript and/or Raster Mode Printing. (Ch5-8
Windows, Ch9 Macintosh)
Install proper PostScript Driver (for printer in PostScript mode) and/or Kodak Export Module
plug-in (for printer in raster mode).

Step7:Printer in PostScript Mode
(Ch11:Printing)
Use File > Print
from Applications and

Select the Kodak Printer.

Yes

Step 5:ConÞgure Server (Ch4:Novell, Ch7/8 Windows
NT, Ch10:Unix)

Step7:Printer in Raster Mode
(Ch11:Printing)
Use File > Export
from Adobe PhotoShop and Select
the Kodak Printer.

1-6 July 1998

Kodak 10/100 NIC Introduction and Configuration

Step 1: Assess your network/printing environment

Consult with your system/network administrator regarding

¥ Protocols: Determine the network protocol(s) (TCP/IP, Novell IPX,

AppleTalk and/or NetBIOS) to use for communicating to the printer/
NIC.

¥ NIC ConÞguration Platform: Determine the platform that is appropriate

for conÞguring NIC network parameters.

¥ Servers: Determine any servers that will be used to spool and manage

jobs sent to corresponding printer queues.

¥ Printing Platforms: Determine the workstation platforms that will be

used for creating and sending print jobs.

Step 2: Gather the necessary components

¥ Hardware: Kodak printer, Kodak 10/100 NIC, and network cabling

certiÞed for 10 or 100 Mbit operation depending on the speed of your
network.

¥ Networking components: Networking components (cables, converters,

hubs, etc.) are not included with the NIC. You must purchase
interconnecting networking components needed to support a speciÞc
environment separately.

If a BNC (10Base2) connection is required, purchase a BNC/RJ45
transceiver or hub from your local dealer or distributor.

If a direct RJ45 (10/100BaseT) connection from a single computer to
a printer is required, a mini-hub and two network cables should be
used, minimally. We do not recommend using an Rx/Tx crossover
cable to defeat the need for a hub because it is a custom cable that
may not be available from a local dealer/distributor. Refer to the RJ54
connector description in Appendix D.

¥ NIC ConÞguration Software: Determine the NIC conÞguration utility

software appropriate for the platform. Use FastManage Utilities
(provided) or NBMon for Windows platforms, Laserwriter Utilities
(provided) for Macintosh platforms. Telnet (not provided) can be used
for any platform that supports TCP/IP.

8600 printers, the Kodak Digital Science 8650 printer, the Kodak
Professional 8657 printer, the Kodak Digital Science Desktop Color
Proofer 9000, and the Kodak Digital Science DCP 9300 Proofer. It also
describes how to run the verification test using the default configurations
after the NIC is installed. See the last part of this chapter for information
about NIC LEDs and operating mode switches for power-up hardware
verification.

For a fee, you may have a Kodak service representative install the NIC in
the printer. This fee covers hardware installation only. Network setup
tasks are still your responsibility. If you install the NIC yourself, you are
responsible for any damage that occurs during installation.

The green Link LED should come ON and remain ON until the printer
reaches READY.

The yellow Net Traffic should blink 3 to 4 times a second until the
printer reaches READY.

This process may occur twice; the NIC will start a power up sequence
and then the printer will issue an additional NIC reset during the printer
initialization sequence.

4. Check the LEDs again after the printer reaches READY. Ready
indicates the NIC is connected to the network.

The green Link LED should come ON and remain ON (this indicates
that there is connectivity to a network hub/switch).

The yellow Net Traffic LED should blink intermittently as it detects
traffic on the network.

If the LEDs do not behave as described above, refer to page 12-3.
There is also the possibility that the NIC may be defective.

Network Broadcasts: The NIC uses its Ethernet address to advertise

itself on Macintosh via Appletalk and on Windows via NetBeui as
“KDxxxxxx” where “xxxxxx” are the last six digits of the address. For
example, a NIC with the address 0040C81234AB would advertise itself
as KD1234AB throughout.

Pow er cycle the device whene v er you reset the s witches. When finished in
any mode, return the switches to Normal or Telnet mode, then power
cycle the device again for printing.

2.8 Configuring the Network Parameters

If you will be using TCP/IP, configure the NIC networking parameters.
TCP/IP requires an IP address. You can set this up using Arp, then use a
NIC configuration utility to save the IP address.

Note: Default configuration parameters should suffice for getting started

with IPX, EtherTalk or NetBeui protocols.

To use TCP/IP:

1. Set the operating mode switches to Telnet (D1 Up, D2 Down).

2. Power cycle the printer/NIC.

3. Map an IP address to the NIC Ethernet address using Arp.
Note: You can use Arp only if the computer supports TCP/IP and the

existing IP address is 0.0.0.0. If an IP address already exists,
change it using a NIC configuration utility.

Use the syntax your system requires for mapping an IP address to the
hardware address. If needed, obtain the syntax using your system
help.

EXAMPLE: for MS-DOS, when the hardware address =
0040C8:1234AB and the IP address = 2.4.6.8, type:
arp -s 2.4.6.8 00-40-C8-12-34-AB

Note: If an error occurs, type arp or arp /help for the proper syntax f or

your system.

4. To use Telnet (with MS-DOS), type telnet 2.4.6.8 2002
Note: 2002 is the NIC’s diagnostic port.

2-8 July 1998

NIC Installation and Verification

Follow the telnet menu to set the TCP/IP address; save it using the
NIC Reset command and then power cycle the printer.

If needed, see the platform-specific chapters for details on configuring
NIC network-related parameters from that platform.

Next, you need to configure the computers for printing. Refer to the
platform-specific chapters for details.

Windows - FastManage Configuration Utilities

3 Windows - FastManage ConÞguration Utilities

Windows FastManage Utilities: FastManage Utilities allow you to

conÞgure the NIC remotely from Windows platforms. They provide
complete control over all network protocols and related parameters via a
graphical user interface.

Alternate Method: You can also use Telnet to conÞgure and troubleshoot
the NIC from any platform that supports TCP/IP communications. Refer to
Appendix A for information on using Telnet.

Initial NIC check and printer setup using Win 95/NT Network
Neighborhood: If you have network browsing capabilities and you select
Workgroup, you should be able to see the printer/NIC initially advertising

itself as KDxxxxxx, where ÒxxxxxxÓ is consistent with the last six digits of
the Ethernet address for the NIC. This is just an initial check that the NIC
is functioning on your network. You must still use conÞguration utilities to
conÞgure non-default network parameters. If you are comfortable with
NIC conÞguration defaults, then you could select the ÒKDxxxxxxÓ printer/
NIC. Windows will prompt you to install a print driver, if necessary. After
installing an appropriate printer driver, you will be able to select the printer
within an application ÒPrintÓ window and and print to that printer.

3.2 Extracting Files from the Windows Utilities Diskette

The NIC.exe Þle on the diskette is a compressed archive of DOS/
Windows for conÞguring the NIC networking parameters. To effectively
manage these Þles, do as follows:

1. Create a KODAK directory/folder on your hard drive, then copy the
NIC.exe Þle to that folder

2. From a RUN or MS-DOS window, type NIC -d to extract and
decompress the directories and Þles.

DOS and FASTMAN directories and Þles appear in the KODAK
directory. The FASTMAN directory contains the Kodak FastManage
Utility Setup Þles that are used when running setup.exe.The DOS
directory contains the PrintMon and NBMon utilities that are used to
detect and conÞgure the NIC in a DOS environment.

3.2.1 Setting up the FastManage Utilities

To set up the FastManage utilities, run setup.exe (in the FASTMAN
directory), then follow the on-screen prompts. We recommend using the
FM default installation directory.

The default installation directory, FM, will contain the Kodak Fast Manage
Utilities for Windows, including Discovery, NIC Manager, and BOOTP. You
access the utilities, which are graphical user interfaces for detecting and
conÞguring NICs in your network environment, from the Start/Program
menu.
