Konica Network Interface Card INSTRUCTION MANUAL 2-1
Chapter 2 Setting Up the Network Interface Card
■ General description of the network setup
With the network interface card, there are five ways to print over TCP/IP.
• Use IP/P2P in peer-to-peer printing setup via Windows 95/98
• Use IPX/P2P in peer-to-peer printing setup via Windows 95/98
• Use LPD/LPR via Windows NT/2000
• Use lpd/lpr via UNIX
• Use UNIX-TCP/IP Programs via UNIX
● Assigning IP Address
Before printing over TCP/IP, you first need to assign the IP address to the network interface card. There are
six ways to assign the IP address to the network interface card.
• Use DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) for automatic IP address assignment
• Use BOOTP Lite from Windows 95/98/NT/2000 for assigning a specific IP address
• Use the arp (Address Resolution Protocol) command from Windows 95/98/NT/2000 for assigning a specific IP address
• Use the arp (Address Resolution Protocol) command from UNIX for assigning a specific IP address
• Use MAP (Management Access Program) for assigning a specific IP address
• Use NIManage from Macintosh for assigning a specific IP address
When initially connecting the network interface card to networks that are not using DHCP, you need to
confirm the following information:
• IP address to assign to the network interface card
• Network address of the network interface card (MAC address or Ethernet address)
Check with the network administrator for the IP address assigned to the network interface card. The network (MAC) address of the network interface card is f ound on the Status Page (network setup list). It is also
indicated on the label on the network interface card. The Status Page is output after starting the network
interface card.
Depending on the network interface card settings, the Status Page can not be output.
For more information about setup, refer to “Network Setup” in this chapter.
Using DHCP
For networks on which IP addresses managed by a DHCP server, the IP address is automatically
assigned to each network interface card. F or more information how to use DHCP, refer to “Information
for the TCP/IP network administrator in Appendix-5”.
2-2 Konica Network Interface Card INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Chapter 2 Setting Up the Network Interface Card
Using BOOTP Lite (Windows 95/98/NT/2000)
From Windows 95/98/NT/2000, you can use the BOOTP Lite program to assign the IP address to the
network interface card. TCP/IP must be set up correctly on the computer that will execute this program. To copy/install the program files in the Windows directory perform the following procedure:
1. Reset the print controller and the main body printer.
The BOOTP Lite program uses the BOOTP protocol. The BOOTP request is for a finite
period of time the print controller and the main body printer must be freshly reset for this to
work.
2. Double click the Bootpl32.exe icon using the [Explorer].
3. Pull down the [Admin] menu to [Configure] option.
4. Enter the [IP address] that you want to assign to the network interface car d, its [Subnet Mask]
(make sure it matches what you are using on your subnet), [Default Gateway] (your router's IP
address), and the [MAC address] of the network interface card.
Use colons as delimiters as shown on the Status Page rather than the dashes Windows uses.
5. Click on Go.
6. Wait about five minutes. The network interface card should recyc le and pr oduce a Status P age
showing the IP parameters you have just entered.
7. Pull down the [Admin] menu to [Verify].
You should get a message back stating that [The Unit is Active]. If y ou do not get this message , v erify
that TCP/IP is enabled on the Status Page.
8. When you get a response that the unit is active, you should be able to ping the network
interface card.
Using arp command (Windows 95/98/NT/2000)
From Windo ws 95/98 MS-DOS prompt or at Windows NT/2000 command prompt, y ou can use the arp
command to assign the IP address to the network interface card. It is necessary that TCP/IP is set up
correctly on the computer that will execute the arp command. Perform the following procedure:
1. At Windo ws 95/98, select [MS-DOS pr ompt] fr om the [Start] menu. At Windows NT/2000, select
[Command prompt] from the [Start] menu.
2. Execute the arp command. For example, if the MAC address of the network interface card is
00:11:22:33:44:55 and the IP address to assign is 192.168.0.128, then input as shown below,
and then press [Enter].
(Example: C:\>arp -s 192.168.0.128 00-11-22-33-44-55
3. Execute the ping command for the assigned IP address. In this case no response is returned
from the network interface card.
(Example: C:\>ping 192.168.0.128
4. Turn off the main power supply to the print controller and the main body printer, then turn it
back on.
Konica Network Interface Card INSTRUCTION MANUAL 2-3
Chapter 2 Setting Up the Network Interface Card
A Status Page will be output. Check that the IP address is correctly set in the list. Or, when about 5
minutes have passed after having restarted the print controller and the main body printer using the
ping command, check that the network interface card responds correctly. The ping command is also
executed at Windows 95/98 MS-DOS prompt or Windows NT/2000 Command prompt. The example
of executing the ping command is shown below:
(Example: C:\>ping 192.168.0.128
Using arp command (UNIX)
From UNIX you can use the arp command to assign the IP address to the network interface card.
Perform the following procedure:
1. Turn off the print controller and the main body printer.
2. Log in as superuser on a host on the same subnet as the network interface card. However, if
the server resides on another subnet, complete this procedure to store the IP address in the
network interface card.
3. Find the MAC address of the network interface car d. The address is printed on the Status Page
each time you turn on the print controller and the main body printer.
4. Edit the hosts file (usually /etc/hosts) or use NIS or DIS to add IP address and node name of
the network interface card. See the network administrator for the IP address. For example, a
network interface card with a name of printfast and an IP address of 192.9.200.200 has the
entry:
192.9.200.200 printfast
5. Add an entry to the arp cache for IP address and Mac address of the network interface card,
as:
arp -s 192.9.200.200 0:40:c8:0:0:ff
RS6000 (AIX) requires the ether option after arp -s. For example:
arp -s ether 192.9.200.200 0:40:c8:0:0:ff
6. Check the print controller and the main body printer to see that the network interface card is connected to the network. T urn on the print contr oller and the main body printer.
7. Send a ping command to the network interface card to verify it is running on the network, as
for example:
ping 192.9.200.200 or ping printfast
The network interface card will not respond to this ping command but it will read its IP address from the packets.
8. Turn off the print controller and the main body printer and back on again and then send the
ping command again to verify that the network interface card obtained its IP ad dress. A confirmation message displays as:
192.9.200.200 is alive
9. Remove the entry from the arp cache using the following command. Specify the network
interface card either by its IP address or by its name, for example:
arp -d printfast
2-4 Konica Network Interface Card INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Chapter 2 Setting Up the Network Interface Card
Using MAP
By using MAP (Management Access Program) included the CD-ROM that comes with the network
interface card, you can automatically identify the network interface card on the network and set it up
for TCP/IP b y using Web Utilities. To use this method to assign the IP address to the netw ork interf ace
card, the following procedure should be performed on computers in advance:
• TCP/IP correctly configured
• IPX/SPX-compatible protocol installed
• MAP installed and MAP setup correctly executed
About how to set up TCP/IP and how to install IPX/SPX-compatible protocol, refer to Windows Help
menus for example. For MAP, refer to “Using MAP (Management Access Program)” in this chapter.
To change an IP address already assigned to a network interface card, you can not use the
arp command. Use Web Utilities instead. These methods also allow you to set up subnet
mask and default gateway, etc.
Using NIManage
Refer to “Chapter 7 AppleTalk Configuration”.
● Accessing W eb Utilities
The network interface card is provided with an HTTP server having Web Utilities. By accessing this server,
you can change settings of the printing system. There are two ways to access W eb Utilities , through a Web
Browser, either through Netscape Na vigator, version 4.x or greater or through Internet Explorer, version 4.x
or greater.
• Use MAP to have the network interface card on the netw orks identified automatically, thereby accessing
Web Utilities.
• Use a Web Browser to type the IP address assigned to the network interface card, and thereby access
the Web Utilities. For example:
http://192.168.0.128/
If you designate the proxy setting in y our Web Browser you cannot access the W eb Utilities.
For more information see your network adminisrator.
Konica Network Interface Card INSTRUCTION MANUAL 2-5
Chapter 2 Setting Up the Network Interface Card
■ Using MAP (Management Access Program)
A utility called MAP is provided on the CD-ROM that comes with the network interface card.
This program automatically identifies the network interface cards on the networks and lists them on Web
Browser screen. From this Web Browser list y ou can select a network interface card to change its settings
and control Web Utilities.
● Operating requirements
MAP is a utility that runs on Windows 95/98/NT/2000. It identifies the network interface cards on the networks and achieves connection with HTTP servers implemented on the network interf ace cards. The MAP
itself has no interface, so either of the following Web Browsers is required as an interface:
• Netscape Navigator (version 4.x or greater)
• Interment Explorer (version 4.x or greater)
To use Web Browser, it is necessar y that a TCP/IP protocol be installed to the Windows compliant com-
puter.
And to identify the network interface cards, it is necessary that a TCP/IP protocol or an IPX protocol be set
up beforehand both on the network interface cards and on the Windows compliant computers.
● Installing MAP
Perform the following steps to install MAP:
1. Insert the CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive, and double-c lick on [Setup.e xe] in the [Map] f older.
2. A setup program will start. Confirm the display, and click on the [Next] button.
3. Confirm a folder to install MAP. By default settings, the folder is C:\Program Files\MAP.
When clicking on the [Next] button, necessary files are copied, and then installation is com-
pleted.
● Setting up MAP
As a result of executing the MAP setup prog ram, two programs, “MAP Setup” and “MAP” are installed. The
MAP Setup is a program to set up a necessary environment for MAP which identifies the network interf ace
cards. To use the MAP, it is necessary to execute the MAP Setup program first.
To start the MAP Setup program, select [Star t]-->[Program]-->[Map]-->[MAP Setup]. When the program
starts, the following display will appear.
2-6 Konica Network Interface Card INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Chapter 2 Setting Up the Network Interface Card
At the MAP Setup stage, you need to specify protocols used by the network interf ace cards and a maximum
IP hop number. To do this, indicate check-mark next to [Search for IPX based printers] for IPX-based
network interface cards, and [Search for IP based printers] for IP-based network interface cards.
When using an IP protocol, specify [MAX Hops for IP Search], in which case you can select a number
between 0 and 15. The default number is set to 2. If you select 0, only segments pertaining to computers,
which restart the MAP, are found. If you select 2, all networks which are accessible passing through two or
less routers are found.
Note that selecting a large number can result in the occurrence of a large volume of traffics
at one time.
● Starting MAP
To start the MAP, select [Start]-->[Program]-->[Map]-->[MAP].
Once started, MAP searches for the network interface cards existing on the networks according to the MAP
setup. When identifying the network interface card, MAP starts a Web Browser specified as standard, and
displays a list of available network interface cards. By default, the network interface card is named
“KON_(serial number).” When you select a desired network interface card from the list, the [Main Page] of
Web Utilities is displayed.

Enable NetWare
When this box is checked, Novell NetWare (IPX/SPX) is enabled as a protocol for print servers. For
print servers on which NetWare is not a primary protocol, be sure to uncheck this box to disable
NetWare. This box is unchecked in the default setting.
Print Server Name
Each Novell print server has its own name, as assigned. For the print server (network interface card),
a default name, KON_(serial number), is used. The serial number is shown in the Status Page as well
as on the label affixed to the back of the network interface card.
If you want to use a name other than the default name or if you want to change the currently assigned
name, you can type a new print server name into this field. 63 characters can be typed in half size. It is
imperative that the name be identically changed on PCONSOLE as well. Otherwise, your newly entered name will be ineffective.
Print Server Password
The network administrator assigns passwords to Novell print servers. When passwords are assigned
with PCONSOLE or NWADMIN, those passwords should be set up on the pr int ser vers. In Bindery
mode, only upper case passwords can be used.
When typing a password into this field, it must be identical to the password assigned through
PCONSOLE or NWADMIN. The typed password is stored in print server setup memory. For assigning
passwords using PCONSOLE, refer to the Novell manual.
When setting up a print server password, type a password into the [Print Server Password] field, and
then again type the same password into the [P ass w ord Retype] field f or confirmation. This password is
common to all file servers assigned to the print server.
Clicking the [Accept Settings] button will have no effect unless you type one and the same password
both in the [Print Server Password] and [Password Retype] fields.
Password Retype
Type a password here, for confirmation.
Preferred Bindery File Server
Type a primary file server name in this field to designate a particular file server for your print server to
access. This feature allows you to access a desired file server and avoid accessing an undesired file
server as when the system is set to search for a file server.
Preferred NDS Context
If you are using Novell NetWare 4.x Directory Services, type a preferred NDS context here. The preferred NDS context needs to be a complete context name. Do not type a period (“.”) in the front of the
context pass. You do not need to type a container name (print server name) since it is in the name field
above. Here are examples of contexts with type:
Complete Context
o=standard.ou=organization_1

Or Simple Context
standard.organization_1
For further details, check with the system administrator.
Preferred NDS Tree
If you are using Novell NetW are 4.x Directory Services, type a preferred NDS tree in this field. If you do
not know the preferred NDS tree, type WHOAMI from the MS-DOS command line, then press [Enter]
for confirmation.
Print Queue Scan Rate
This option lets you select a queue scan rate for adjusting intervals at which the print server (network
interface card) poles the networks when searching for new print queue. You can type a number between 1 and 255 (seconds).
