Configuration

Introduction

The OkiLAN Internal Print Server is a fast 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T
network interface.
This network print server supports IEEE802.2, IEEE802.3,
Ethernet-II and SNAP and can detect those frame types
automatically.
Also, it supports major protocols such as TCP/IP, IPX/SPX
(NetWare), EtherTalk and NetBEUI.
This section details the specification and several software utilities.
For multiple emulation printers, change the emulation in the
Printer Menu settings to Auto or PS before printing the
self-diagnostic test and settings.

Using Quick Setup

Quick Setup utility allows you to configure the print server easily
and simply without installing any software packages.
You can configure the following:
> Enable/disable TCP/IP, NetWare, EtherTalk, NetBEUI
protocols.
> Set IP address, Subnet Mask and Gateway for TCP/IP
manually or by using DHCP.
> Set NetWare mode and create Queue/Print Server/Printer
objects.
> Zone name and Port name for EtherTalk.
Configuration requires a PC with Windows 95/98/Me, Windows
2000 Advanced Server/Professional or Windows NT Server 4.0/
Work-station 4.0, Windows XP running TCP/IP or IPX/SPX
(NetWare).
This utility can only be used on a PC that can be connected to the
network with TCP/IP or IPX/ SPX.
This utility must be used on a PC that is located in the same
segment as the printer. To create a NetWare queue, NetWare
Client 32 or IntranetWare Client should be installed in your system.
The following explanation uses Windows 98 as an example.
1. Insert the CD-ROM provided with your printer into the CD-ROM drive. If the Menu Installer does not start automatically, click Start → Run → Browse. Browse to your CD-ROM and click Install → Open → OK.

8. If the settings are correct, click [Execute]. The new settings are transmitted to the network card but the network card is still operating with pre-transmission settings.
9. Click [Finish] to validate the new settings. Depending on the model, the printer may have to be switched off and on again.
OkiLAN 8100e Network User’s Guide

Using a Web browser

If the print server is connected to the network using TCP/IP, its settings and the printer menu settings can be configured using a Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 4.0 and higher, or Netscape Navigator version 4.0 and higher. No guarantees are offered for other browsers. Refer to the relevant manuals for details of how to launch and use the browser.
The network addresses used in this manual are shown as examples only. Network addresses used in your installation must be generated from your own network. To apply configuration changes using a Web browser, you will be prompted for a username and password.The username is [root] and the default password is the last six digits of the Ethernet address.
The following explanation uses Windows 95 and Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4.0 as an example.
1. Configure the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway for the network card. Launch the Web browser, enter the IP Address of the network interface card in [Address (Location/ Position)] and press the [Enter] key. The Printer Status screen is displayed.

equivalents, see the description in the Configurable Items and Default Values table starting on page 62.
3. To ensure correct operation, follow the procedure below for the appropriate network browser.
Microsoft Internet Explorer
a. Select [Internet Options] in the [Tools] menu.
b. Click on the [General] tab and click [Settings] in
[Temporary Internet files].
c. Select [Every visit to the page] in [Check for newer

If you change the window size of the browser immediate­ly after changing the configuration, [Security informa­tion] may be displayed. Uncheck [Display this message next time] in the dialogue.
4. After making changes, click [Submit].
5. Enter [root] in User name and your password (default is the last six digits of the Ethernet address) in Password and click [OK].
OkiLAN 8100e Network User’s Guide

6. After the new values are transmitted to the network card, the following screen is displayed. If a different message is displayed, check the settings.
ENTERPASSWORD.bmp
For example: For Ethernet address 00:80:92:01:00:D2, a default password is [0100D2]. The Ethernet address (MAC address) is displayed during the self-diagnostic test.
The root password can be changed to allow you to configure the print server and printer by using a Web browser. The default password is the last six digits of the MAC address.
To change the root password for configuration via a Web browser, access [http://OKILAN IP address or hostname>/ system_password.htm]. After inputting the current root password, this screen is displayed:

Standard Setup Using AdminManager

AdminManager is a powerful Microsoft Windows-based utility to configure all print server functions by using a graphical user interface.
Configuration requires a PC with Windows 95/98/Me, Windows 2000 Advanced Server/Professional or Windows NT Server 4.0/ Work-station 4.0, Windows XP running TCP/IP or IPX/SPX (NetWare).
This utility can only be used on a PC that can be connected to the network with TCP/IP or IPX/ SPX and must be used on a PC that is located in the same segment as the printer.
