About this Chapter
This chapter describes the functionality and physical characteristics of the Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC).

Product Description

The Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC ) is an internal multiprotocol print server that provides shared network access to the printer for a variety of network protocols and operating systems. The NIC supports the following protocols: TCP/IP, AppleTalk (EtherTalk), Local Area Transport (LAT), and IPX (NetWare). The NIC can queue multiple pending jobs and service those jobs in the order that they are received from the hosts.

Physical Characteristics

The front panel of the Ethernet NIC has a TEST/RESET button and four LEDs. The NIC supports 10BasetT and 100BaseT using an RJ45 connector for shielded and twisted pair standard Ethernet cabling.

Number Description 1 TEST/RESET button - when pressed briefly while powering up the unit, returns
the NIC to its original factory default configuration.
2 NIC LED - blinks yellow quickly at power on and slowly during normal operation
to show unit is functioning.
3 BNC - Lights solid green to when a valid BNC network is attached to the NIC. 4 RJ45 port - for 10Base-T or 100Base-T network connections. 5 NET LED - blinks yellow to reflect network activity. 6 BASE-T LED - lights solid green to indicate a valid 10Base-T or 100Base-T
connection.
NOTE: Once installed, the Ethernet NIC will automatically sense the network connection and will
automatically configure the RJ-45 connection accordingly.

Protocols Supported

The following protocols are supported by your Ethernet NIC:
• Novell NetWare (IPX/SPX)
•Telnet
•EtherTalk
•DEC LAT
• TCP/IP
•SNMP
• Printer MIB Web-based status and control

It is important to consider the following points before logging into and configuring the NIC:

3. If AUTO SWITCH is selected the FORMAT selection will automatically be RAW.
4. This is the MAC—the factory-set network address.
5. This is a free format entry that requires your input.
• The NIC’s IP address must be configured before any TCP/IP functionality is available. See “Setting
the IP Address” on page 2-11.
• There are two important passwords on the NIC: the privileged password and the login password.
Changing any server, service, or port setting requires privileged user status. The default privileged password is system.
The login password is required for remote console logins. The default login passw ord is access.
NOTE: If you would like to change either the privileged or login password, use EZWebCon.

EZWebCon Configuration

The EZWebCon configuration software is the recommended way to configure the NIC. EZWebCon is a graphical user interface which guides first time users through the initial configuration process and allows experienced users to update and change any configurable parameters.
The EZWebCon software is located on the CD-ROM that came with your printer and is installed from the Menu Installer. For assistance once EZWebCon is running, refer to the EZWebCon on-line help.

Incoming Logins

Incoming logins made via EZWebCon can be used to configure the server. Incoming LAT and TCP/IP log­ins can also be made using LAT and TCP/IP commands.
Incoming Telnet connections are enabled by default. To change this setting, use the Define Server Incom- ing command.
2-6 Ethernet Network Interface Card Configuration Guide
Incoming logins do not prompt for a login password; therefore, you may wish to disable them. If it is unde­sirable to disable incoming logins, the Server can be configured to prompt for a password with the Define Server Incoming Password Enabled command.

Services

With few exceptions, a service must be created before print queues can be configured on the NIC. A service is a resource accessible to network hosts. The following 2 default services are available once the NIC has booted:
PRQ_xxxxxx_TEXT Used for text print jobs PRQ_xxxxxx_BIN Used for binary print jobs, such as plotter, PCL or PostScript files.
NOTE: The default service names based on the NIC’s server name (PRQ_xxxxxx), with the x’s being the
last six digits of the NIC’s Ethernet address. The se rvice names m ust b e no more than 13 ch arac ters. For LPR the default queue names of PRQ_TEXT, PRQ_BIN can be used.
Identifying the EtherNet Host Name
T o identify the EtherNet host name , you m ust print a prin t server printout. Using a paper -clip, press the print server test button (See “Physical Characteristics” on page 1-2). The host name appears under Service as: PRQ_xxxxxx_BIN. This name is factory set and cannot be changed.

AppleTalk Configuration

The EZWebCon configuration software is the easiest way to configure the NIC. The following sections cover other print configuration methods for AppleTalk hosts.
NOTE: The NIC needs an IP address before you can use EZWebCon. See “Setting the IP Address” on page
2-11.
NOTE: Macintosh systems that do not support EtherTalk will need either an Ethernet card or a
LocalTalk-to-EtherTa lk router to use the NIC.
NOTE: MacOS 8.1 can also print via LPD.
Macintosh Services
Before attempting to print from a Macintosh, ensure that AppleTalk and PostScript are both enabled on at least one service. Once the service is configured, it will appear in the Chooser in the same zone as the NIC. Select the service in the Chooser and complete the appropriate setup options. Then close the Chooser win­dow and print a test page of text to the Macintosh service.
AppleTalk Zones
If there is a router on the network, the NIC will appear in the default zone specified by the router. T o c hange the default zone, enter the Define Protocol AppleTalk Zone command and reboot the printer.
If the NIC is attached to a network without an AppleTalk router, all AppleTalk devices (including the NIC) will appear in the default zone in the Chooser.
Ethernet Network Interface Card Configuration Guide 2-7
NOTE: If no router is present on the network, the NIC will not accept AppleTalk print jobs for 60 seconds
after booting.

LAT Configuration

The EZWebCon configuration software is the easiest way to configure the NIC. The following sections cover other print configuration methods for LAT hosts.
NOTE: The NIC needs an IP address before you can use EZWebCon. See “Setting the IP Address” on page
LAT print queues can be created by printing to a port or printing to a service. Printing directly to a port requires no NIC configuration.
NOTE: Printing directly to a port is the easiest method for printing to the NIC.
Printing Directly to a Port
1. Create a LAT application port that references the NIC port.

selected in the Chooser
$RUN SYS$SYSTEM:LATCP LATCP> CREATE PORT LTAnnn/APPLICATION LATCP> SET PORT LTAnnn/NODE=PRQ_xxxxxx/PORT=Port_n LATCP> EXIT
2. Create and start a print queue that uses the LAT application port.
$INITIALIZE/QUEUE/START/ON=LTAnnn:/PROCESSOR=LATSYM /RETAIN=ERROR queue_name
3. Add the commands to the SYS$MANAGER:LAT$STARTUP.COM file so the required LAT devices
will be recreated after each host reboot.

4. Print to the queue.

LAT Host Troubleshooting
By default, the LA T error message codes on the host are not t ranslated i nto text error messages . If a LA T job fails and appears in the queue with an eight-digit hex result code, the code can be translated by issuing the following commands:
$SHOW QUEUE/FULL/ALL queue_name (note the error code nnnnnnnn) $SET MESSAGE SYS$MESSAGE:NETWRKMSG.EXE $EXIT %Xnnnnnnnn
Area to check Explanation

NetWare Configuration

The EZWebCon configuration software is the easiest way to configure the NIC. The following sections cover other print configuration methods for NetWare hosts.
NOTE: The NIC needs an IP address before you can use EZWebCon. See the “Setting the IP Address” on
page 2-11 for instructions.
This chapter explains creating NDS print queues with NetWare Administrator and with the PCONSOLE Quick Setup option. To create NDS print queues, you must be running NetWare version 4.x with NDS capa­bilities.
If you are running NetWare versions 2.x, 3.x, or v ersion 4.x with bindery emulation, yo u ma y configure bind­ery print queues using QINST (bindery only) or PCONSOLE.
Configuring Your NIC
1. Define the directory service tree in which the NIC is located.
The specified node name matches the server’s node name
The specified port name matches the port’s name
Use the Show Server command.
Use the List Port 1 command.
Local>> DEFINE PROTOCOL NETWARE DSTREE foodco
NOTE: For an explanation of the structure of the NetWare Directory Service tree, see your host
documentation.
2. D efi ne th e di rectory service context in which the NIC is located.
Local>> DEFINE PROTOCOL NETWARE DSCONTEXT ou=kiwi.ou=exotic.o=fruit
3. Enter the List Protocol NetWare Access command to ensure that at least one of the file servers in
the directory service tree is in the access list.
