NIC TCP/IP Configuration

A utility called NTBOOTP is used to configure the IP parameters on the NIC.
Note: The NTBOOTP utility does not work on a system configured as a DHCP
server.

1. Insert the disk included.

2. In the Windows NT 3.51 Program Manager, select File and choose Run.
In Windows NT 4.0, click on the Windows Start button and select Run.

3. Type <Drive>:\NTBOOTP.EXE and click OK to laun c h th e utili ty.

4. S elect Configure from t he Adm in menu.

⇒ Enter th e IP pa r ameters.
⇒ Enter the IP address to assign to the NIC.
⇒ Enter the Subnet mask. If unsure of the correct Subnet mask and the

first number in the NIC's IP address is from 192 to 254, then use

255.255.255.0 as the Subnet mask.

⇒ Enter the Default Gateway address (the router's IP address) or leave

blank.

⇒ Enter the Hardware address of the NIC. This address is listed on the

power-up network status page under Network Address, for example,
00:40:af:13:c9:f0. Please enter it as it appears on the status page. The
status pages (a printer status page and a NIC network status page) may
also be printed by pressing the Status key on the front panel of the
printer.

5. Click on Go to send the new settings to the NIC. After a few minutes
(usually between 1 and 2 minutes, but possibly up to 5 minutes on very large
or busy networks), the NIC will reset an d print its n etwork status page. The
new IP parameters will be listed in the TCP/IP Network Information section
of the status page. If the status page doesn't print, recheck the Hardware
Address entry in NTBOOTP. (If the power-up status page has been
disabled, press the Status key on the printe r's front panel .) Once the status
page prints, the new IP address may also be verified by selecting
