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.

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.

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

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.

Creating Print Queues Using NetWare Administrator Quick Setup
The NetWare Administrator management utility allows you to manage network resources, suc h as
queue-based print services, in a tree structure. You can either use the Quick Setup option or individually create printing-related objects.
To create a print queue with the Quick Setup option.
NOTE: NetWare Administrator can be used for both NDS and bindery print queues.
1. Start NetWare Administrator.
2. In the Directory Tree windows, navigate to and select the context in which you want to install the
printer.
3. From the Menu B ar, select Tools: Print Services Quick Setup.
4. In the Print Server Name field, enter the name of your NIC (viewable by entering the Show Server
command at the Local> prompt).
5. In the Printer Name field, enter the name of the desired print service configured on your NIC.
6. In the Print Queue Name field, enter the name of the print queue to create. The name should be
meaningful to you; it will not affect the NIC’s configuration.
7. Click Create.
Creating NDS Print Queues Using PCONSOLE
1. Log in as Admin on the file server you will be changing.
2. Type PCONSOLE at the F: prompt to start the utility.
3. From the main menu choose Quick Set-Up.
4. PCONSOLE will prompt you for information with which to configure the print queue.
5. The print server name is the name of your NIC (PRQ_xxxxxx). The new printer nam e is the service
name (PRQ_xxxxxx_yy). The new print queu e can be any name. The print queue volume is the name
of the file server from which the printer receives print requests. The remaining fields can be left in
their default settings.
6. Press the F10 key to save the print queue information.
7. Reboot the printer.

TCP/IP Configuration
The EZWebCon configuration software is the easiest way to configure the NIC. The following sections
cover other print configuration methods for TCP/IP hosts.
The NIC provides two major methods of printing via TCP/IP: Berkeley remote LPR and RTEL host software.

print server object password. If the print server is using
the default password (access) then there should be no
password for the print server object.
Check the NDS partitions, replicas, and volumes to
ensure the file server where the queue lives has the correct information about the NIC and printers.
To Identify the NIC’s IP Address
A configuration summary lists the server’s IP address. To print a configuration summary:
1. Press the MENU button on the printer control panel.
2. Press the NEXT button until the text “Functions” is shown on the second line of the display.
3. Press the SELECT button to enter the functions submenu.
4. Press the NEXT button until the text “Print Summary” is shown on the second line of the display.
5. Press the SELECT button to print the configuration summary page(s).
The IP address appears in column 1 under Interface Menu.
Setting the IP Address
The NIC’s IP address must be configured before any TCP/IP functionality is available.
T o set the IP address, use one of the following methods: printer’s control panel, EZW ebCon, a directed Ping
packet, a BOOTP, DHCP, or RARP reply, or commands entered at the command line (Local>) interface.
Some of these options are discussed in the following sections.
Printer’s control panel
Refer to the printer User Manual for setting the IP address via the control panel.
2-12 Ethernet Network Interface Card Configuration Guide
Using a Directed Ping Packet
1. Create an entry in the host’s ARP table that contains the NIC’s IP and hardware addresses.
2. Ping the NIC. If no other node is using the IP address, the NIC will use it.
3. To save the IP address, Telnet to the NIC and use the Define Server IP address command.
Using a BOOTP, DHCP, or RARP Reply
At boot time a host-based DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP server can respond to an NIC request for an available
IP address. For information about configuring the DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP server, see the host documentation.
Notes About LPR
There are four important things to note about the LPR printing method:
1. Because of the wa y the LPR protocol is typically implemented on the host, the processing options and
banner page are sent after the job data itself. The NIC will print a banner page at the end of a job,
and cannot support most of the LPR options. If it is necessary to have the banner page at the
beginning of the printout, install and use the RTEL software. If banners are not needed, they can be
disabled.
2. The NIC cannot print multiple copies of the print job when using the “-#x” lpr option.
3. If two queues on the print host refer to two services on the same NIC, they must use separate spool-
ing directories.
4. No special purpose input or output filters can be used when printing via LPR. If this functionality is
necessary, use the named pipe interface program in the RTEL print queue configuration software.
LPR on Generic UNIX Hosts
The Berkeley remote printing system is supported on many machines, and is simple to configure.
This section describes how to configure LPR print queues on generic UNIX hosts such as SUN hosts . There
are slight variations in LPR configuration for AIX, HP, SCO, Solaris, ULTRIX, and Windows NT hosts.
After reading this section, refe r to the following sections for further configuration information.
1. Start by adding the NIC name and IP address to the
/etc/hosts file:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx PRQ_xxxxxx
2. Add the host print queue name into /etc/printcap, and then specify the remote node name (the host
name of the NIC) and the service name on the NIC. For example:
prq_prt|Printer on LAB NIC:\
:rm=PRQ_xxxxxx:\
:rp=PRQ_xxxxxx_BIN:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/PRQ_prt:
The punctuation shown is required, and no extra spaces should be added. This will create a host queue
named prq_prt. The rm parameter is the name of the NIC in the host's address file , the rp parameter
is the name of the service as it exists on the NIC, and the sd parameter specifies the name of a directory used to hold temporary spooling files.
Ethernet Network Interface Card Configuration Guide 2-13
3. Create a world-writable spooling directory using the mkdir command.
# mkdir /usr/spool/lpd/prq_prt
# chmod 777 /usr/spool/lpd/prq_prt
4. If desired, use the mx option to allow unlimited size files to be printed and the sh option to prevent
header pages from being generated. See the host's documentation or man pages for more information
on the format of the printcap file and how to create the spool directory.
5. Print to the queue using normal lpr commands:
% lpr -Pprq_prt /etc/hosts
LPR on AIX Hosts
LPR has only been tested on AIX versions 3.2 and higher. The System Management Interface Tool (SMIT)
allows you to enable LPD printing and create print queues.
To create a print queue:
1. At the host prompt type smit.
2. Choose Print Spooling.
3. Choose Manage Print Server and Start the Print Server Subsystem (lpd
daemon).
4. In the Start the Print Server Subsystem dialog box, type both in the first field.
The message “The lpd subsystem has been started” will appear. Click Done.
To add a print queue:
1. From the main window choose Print Spooling.
2. Choose Manage Print Server and Manage Print Queues.
3. Choose Add a print queue.
4. From the dialog box that appears choose remote.
5. From the next dialog box choose Remote Printing.
6. The Add a Standard Remote Print Queue dialog box will appear. Enter the information in each
field.
A dialog box will appear with the message “Added print queue prq_prt.”
7. Print to the queue using normal lp syntax.
% lp -dprq_prt filename
LPR on HP Hosts
The System Administration Manager (SAM) allows you to create print queues.
To create a print queue:
1. At the HP prompt type sam.
2. From the main application window choose Printers and Plotters.
2-14 Ethernet Network Interface Card Configuration Guide
3. Choose Printers/Plotters from the Printers and Plotters window.
4. In the pull-down menu select Remote Printer/Plotter from the Actions menu.
5. The Add Remote Printer window will appear. SAM will prompt you for the printer name, remote sys-
tem name, remote printer name, remote cancel model, and remote status model.
NOTE: Printer names on HP hosts are limited to 13 characters. The NIC text service name will be too long,
so you will have to rename the NIC.
LPR on SCO UNIX Hosts
LPR is supported in SCO V3.2 release 4 with TCP/IP Version 1.2 and greater.
To configure a print queue using LPR:
1. Issue the mkdev rlp command. This will install the Berkeley remote printing files and executable pro-
grams.
NOTE: The mkdev rlp command should only be done once or serious problems will occur. If this happens,
contact SCO technical support.
2. Print to this queue using normal lp syntax.
# lp -dprq_xxxxxx_text filename
To create a remote printer:
1. Issue the rlpconf command.
2. Answer the questions that follow.
3. During initial configuration, the queue name must be the same as the remote printer name. However,
you may change the queue name later by manually editing the printcap file.
LPR on Windows NT 4.0
NOTE: This installation assume s that TCP/IP, Simple TCP/IP, and Microsoft TCP/IP printing have been
installed on Windows NT.
1. Double-clic k the Printers icon in the Control Panel.
2. Double-clic k the Add Printer icon.
3. In the window that appears select My Computer. Click Next.
4. Select the Add Port button. Click Next.
5. Select LPR Port.
6. Click New Port.
7. In the following window enter the name or address of the NIC and the service name.
8. Se lect the manufacturer and printer type.
9. Enter the queu e name.
Ethernet Network Interface Card Configuration Guide 2-15
10. If applicable, choose Shared and select the type of operating system that the printer will be working
with. (This is not recommended until the print queue is confirmed to be working.)
11. Test the printer.
RTEL Functionality
If the LPR method of printing is not adequate for an application (for example, if you need banners before
jobs, or more flexibility), configure the RTEL software on the host. After installing the software configuring
the connections to the NIC, you can use normal UNIX print commands and queue utilities such as lpc and
lpstat.
NOTE: RTEL binaries are provided for many systems. Source code is also provided for use on
non-supported systems.
To print using special formatting or using third-par ty software packages, you may have to create “print
pipes” on the host. The RTEL software provides this functionality by providing a UNIX named-pipe
interface.
To recreate the RTEL source files:
1. Copy the file RTEL_SRC.TAR from the distribution media to the UNIX host. Ensure that a binary
copy is performed.
2. Untar the archive.
3. See the README files in the created directories that describe the contents of the RTEL distribution
and man pages that describe the actual software functionality.

Installing the Ethenet Network Interface on the Controller Assembly
NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the controller from your printer to complete the installation. For
clarity, the following illustrations depict a controller removed from the printer. When facing the
front of the controller as shown below, network port 1 is on the right and network port 2 is on the
left. However, when installed in the printer, network port 1 is on the bottom and network port 2 is on
top. In the following few steps, an Ethernet network interface is being installed in network port 2.
1. Turning thumbscrews counter-clockwise, remove the blank metal plate covering one of the available
network ports on the controller bracket.
2. While aligning the front brack e t of the NIC assembly to the two respective thumbscrews on the con-
troller assembly bracket, firmly seat the 80-pin male connector on the underside of the NIC to the
80-pin female connector on the controller assembly.

2. Replace the side cover of the printer.
3. Connect the appropriate network cable. For 10Base/100Base-T environments, connect a twisted pair
Ethernet cable to the RJ45 connector. For 10Base-2 environments, connect a thin coaxial Ethernet
cable to the BNC connector.
4. Plug the power cord in the AC outlet and turn the printer power switch to the ON [I] position.
NOTE: Before supplying power to the printer, be sure that only 1 physical Ethernet port is used.
NOTE: The BNC and BASE-T LEDs indicate good network connection. The OK LED gives information
about what the NIC is doing; for example, when code is being downloaded as the unit boots, the
LED will blink green quickly.
5. Allow 45 seconds for the unit to fully boot. The BNC or BASE-T green LED will be lit if there is a
valid connection to the network, and the NET yellow LED should blink slowly to show the unit is
functioning properly.
6. Print a Test page by pressing the TEST/RESET button.

About this Appendix
This appendix offers various troubleshooting procedures and technical support advice.
Power-Up Troubleshooting
There are several possible error situations if the unit does not display the welcome message or the LEDs do
not flash:
Message Diagnosis/Remedy
Error Messages
Power-up diagnostic failure (hardware
failure)
The NIC boots but does not try to load
the Flash ROM code
Network Error: The ACT LED will
blink yellow 2-3 times per second
Note which LED is blinking and its color, then contact
your dealer or Technical Support.
Briefly press the T est button on the NIC’s I/O panel. A
NIC configuration page will be printed. (To press the
Test button, you will need a pointed object - e.g. paper
clip.)
Make sure the Ethernet network cable is properly
connected and reboot the server.
Printing Problems
Ethernet Network Interface Card Configuration Guide B-3
Area to Check Explanation
Physical connection To test a non-PostScript printer use the Test Port 1
Count 100 command. This command will send 100
lines of test data to the printer.
Service characteristics Use the Show Service Local Characteristics
command from a network login to see if the desired
service is available and to verify that the appropriate
protocols are enabled on the service.
The IP address The IP address must be unique on the network. Many
problems will occur when there are duplicate IP
addresses on the network.
Queue Status and Port counters Use the Monitor Queue command to ensure queue
entries appear in the job list. If an entry does not appea r ,
refer to the appropriate host section in this Appendix.
Use the Monitor Port n Counters command to verify
that the counter is incrementing with each job. If it is
not, verify the connection between the NIC and the
printer.
BOOTP Troubleshooting
If the BOOTP request is failing and you have configured your host to respond to the request, check these
areas:
Area to Check Explanation
BOOTP is in your system’s
/etc/services file
The NIC’s name is in the
loadhost’s
/etc./hosts file
The download file is in the
correct directory and is
world-readable
The NIC and host are in the same
IP network
BOOTP must be an uncommented line in the /etc/services
file.
The NIC’s name must b e in this file for th e host to a nswer a
BOOTP or TFTP request.
The download file must be in the correct directory and
world-readable. Specify the complete pathname for the
download file in the BOOTP configuration file or, a add a
default pathname to the download filename.
Some hosts will not allow BOOTP replies across IP
networks. Either use a host running a different operating
system or put the NIC in the same IP network as the host.
B-4 Ethernet Network Interface Card Configuration Guide
DHCP Troubleshooting
Area to Check Explanation
DHCP is enabled on the NIC. Use the Define Server DHCP Enabled command.
If you manually enter an IP address, DHCP is
automatically disabled.
RARP Troubleshooting
PostScript Problems
Make sure the DHCP server is
operational.
Did the NIC get its IP address from
the DHCP server?
Area to Check Explanation
The NIC’s name and hardware
address in the host’s /etc/ethers file
The NIC’s name and IP address in
the /etc/hosts file
The operating system Many operating systems do not start a RARP server
Check to see that the DHCP server is on and is
functioning correctly.
Refer to the DHCP Manager on your Windows
DHCP server for information about addresses
currently in use. If the DHCP server does not list
your NIC’s IP address, there many be a problem.
The NIC’s name and hardware address must be in
this file for the host to answer an RARP request.
The NIC’s name and IP ad dress must b e in this fil e
for the host to answer an RARP request.
at boot time. Check the host’s RARPD
documentation for details, or use the ps command to
see if there is an RARPD process running.
PostScript printers will silently abort jobs if they detect an error.
Area to Check Explanation
The NIC is communicating
with the printer
To test a PostScript printer use the Test Port 1 PostScript
Count 2. This command will send 2 pages of PostScript data
out the parallel port. Watch the indicators on the printer to
verify that the NIC is communicating with the printer.
If the printer is capable of bidirectional communication, use the
Test Service PRQLPSEPS_xxxxxx_PS PostScript Count 5
command. This will transfer data both to and from the printer.
Autoselection must be disabled and the printer must be
configured as a PostScript printer for this test to succeed.
Bitmap Graphics
If files that contain embedded bitmap graphics print incorrectly, it is because the bitmaps are being sent as
actual binary data and binary data cannot be printed via serial or parallel interfaces.
Most major application packages have provisions to print using either “binary postscript” (for printers connected to the network via LocalTalk) or “hex postscript” (for printers connected to the network via a serial
port or parallel port). If your application does not have this provision, ask the application vendor for an
upgrade version or “patch” that will add the “hex postscript” function.
Ethernet Network Interface Card Configuration Guide B-5
Area to Check Explanation
Service Characteristics Issue the Show Service Characteristics command. If the
service rating is zero, the parallel port is in use. Verify
that the PostScript characteristic and appropriate
protocols have been enabled on the service.
Port Counters If PostScript jobs appear to print but nothing comes out of
the printer, verify the amount of data sent from the host.
Issue the appropriate print command from the host
system. After the job has completed, use the Show Port 1
Counters command.
