If you do not have the MAP Utility, perform the following steps:

1. Assign an IP address to the KN-301.

See instructions for Assigning IP Address, starting on p. 5-5.

2.Start the IP Browser you normally use.

3.When the browser is up and running, type http:// followed by the IP address of the unit in the Location field at the top of the browser screen, or by going to File at the menu bar and choosing Open Location.

Example: For a unit with an IP address of 199.9.200.200, type:

http://199.9.200.200

At this point, the IP Browser works the same as the Konica MAP Utility (see Network Setup screen on p. 3-8.

Using Konica Network Management Utility

Overview

The Konica Network Management Utility is a Windows based HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) utility that enables you to configure network protocols for the KN-301 print server; remotely reset the KN-301 print server to clear an error or to return the print server to factory settings; troubleshoot problems; enable/disable the status sheet printout; and access contextsensitive Help.

While the Konica Network Management Utility can be accessed with any browser, such as Netscape, you can also use the MAP (Konica Management Access Program) Utility to access and configure the KN-301. The MAP Utility automatically installs when you install the Konica Network Management Utility CD-ROM.

If you have not already done so, install the Konica Network Management Utility program using the installation procedure on p. 2-6.

NOTE: The Konica Network Management Utility CANNOT be installed from DOS.

Using MAP (Management Access Program)

The MAP utility consists of the MAP Setup program and the MAP program. (See sample screens on next page.)

MAP Setup Program

The MAP Setup program allows you to configure the MAP program to search for IP or IPX based printers.

You may also configure the maximum number of hops for the IP searches. The hop count number determines how many sub-networks the program will search to find the print server units. An entry of zero [0] on the screen searches only the current subnet. An entry of [2] searches a wire that is directly connected to the workstation and all networks accessible through two routers. An entry of 15 or higher automatically searches every connected network; but such a high number is not recommended due to the amount of traffic it would generate.

MAP Program

The MAP program lets you utilize the default browser for viewing and changing the Print Server configuration settings. To do so, click on any active KN-301 Print Server unit (see next page).
