❒

The procedures written in this manual assume that you are a network administrator. If you aren't, be sure to consult your network administrator before configuration.

Reference

Refer to the manual that comes with the printer for information on physically installing the Network Interface Board and cabling.

❖❖❖❖

Features

• Support for 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T

• The Network Interface Board is compatible with NetWare (IPX/SPX), Windows NT

®

(TCP/IP), Windows® 95/98 (TCP/IP) , and Macintosh (AppleTalk) protocols. This allows you to use the printer in a network that uses different protocols and operating systems.

• A computer used as dedicated print server is not required, because the Network Interface Board can be configured as a NetWare print server.

• The Network Interface Board can connect the printer to the network without requiring its own power supply because the Network Interface Board is installed inside the printer.

Configuring the Network Interface Board with a Web Browser

The Network Interface Board functions as a Web server in addition to allowing a printer to function as a network printer. You can use a Web browser to view the printer status and configure the Network Interface Board.

Configuring the Printer

This facility requires TCP/IP to be installed. After the printer has been configured to use the TCP/IP protocol, it will be possible to adjust the settings using a web browser.

Note

❒

If a DNS server is used in the network, you can enter the host name as an URL. For example, http://webmonitor.netprinter.com/. In order to do this, you must the register the IP address and host name of the Network Interface Board with the DNS server. Consult the network administrator for information on how to do this.

Assigning IP Address with ARP+PING

Using TCP/IP, you can assign the IP address using ARP and PING. The following example is for a BSD UNIX workstation (SunOS 4.x).

Preparation

ARP+PING should be set to active in the network boot configuration before assigning the IP address using ARP+PING. For how to set it to active, refer to the Operating Instructions for your printer.

Log in to the workstation as root.

Network Interface Board.

# arp -s 192.168.15.16 00:00:74:62:5C:65

Note

❒

192.168.15.16 is the IP address, 00:00:74:62:5C:65 is the MAC address.

Assign the IP address using the PING command.

C

# ping 192.168.15.16

Use the PING command again, to confirm the address.

D

# ping 192.168.15.16

If the address has been configured correctly, the following message appears.

192.168.15.16 is alive

If the address has been configured incorrectly, the following message appears.

no answer from 192.168.15.16

----

How to Confirm the MAC Address

The MAC address (Ethernet address) of the Network Interface Board is required in order to use ARP and PING to assign the IP address.

The MAC address can be seen on the printer configuration page.

Reference

For more information on printing a configuration page, refer to the Operating Instructions for your printer.

Remote Maintenance by Telnet (mshell)

You can view the printer status and configure the network interface board using telnet.

Note

❒

You should specify a password so that only the network administrator, or a person having network administrator privileges, can use remote maintenance (mshell).

Operation Flow

The following is a sample procedure in using Telnet.

Limitation

❒

Only one person at a time can be logged on to do remote maintenance.

Using the IP address or host name of the printer, start telnet.

A

Note

❒

In order to use the host name instead of the IP address, you must write it to the /etc/hosts file.

❒

Be sure not to forget or lose the password.

Note

❒

The default factory password is “password”.

Input “passwd”.

Input the new password.

C

New password:

Note

❒

The password must consist of 3 to 8 alphanumeric characters and symbols.

Upper and lower case characters are considered unique. For example, R is

different from r.

❒

The password is the same as that used in the configuration of the Network

Interface Board using a Web browser and that used in the NIB Setup Tool.

If you change a password on the mshell, the other passwords are also

changed.

Input the new password once again.

D

Retype new password:

SNMP

The Network Interface Board functions as a SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) agent using the UDP and IPX protocols. Using the SNMP manager you can get information about the printer.

The factory default community names are “public” and “admin”. You can get MIB information using these community names.

Precautions

Please pay attention to the following when using a network interface board. When configuration is necessary, give a messenger after configuring justly.

Connecting a dial up router to a Network

When the file server of NetWare exists in the network of remote side, the router continues being connected by a packet sent from printer, there may be a thing asked great communication charges. Because this is a thing by specification of NetWare, you need to cope by network administration shown in the following in order to evade this problem. Please cope with configuration of printer when you cannot cope in network administration.

Correspondence Method on Network Administration

Filter the packets so that they do not pass over the dial up router.

Note

❒

The MAC address of the printer doing the filtering is printed on the printer configuration page. Refer to the Operating Instructions, for information on printing a configuration page.

❒

See the instructions below for information on configuring the printer if the router cannot be configured.

Correspondence Method by Configuration of Printer (When Use NetWare)

Following the setup method in this manual, configure the file server.

Set the frame type for a NetWare environment.

Printing after Resetting the Printer

After resetting the remote printer, it will be cut off from the print server for about 30-40 seconds before connecting again. Due to the NetWare specification, print jobs may be accepted, but they will not be printed during this interval.

When using the printer as a remote printer, wait about 2 minutes after resetting the printer before attempting to print.

Precautions

When Using DHCP

The following points are important when using DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).

Supported Systems

Windows NT Server 4.0 can be configured as a DHCP server.

Give the printer a static address

Configure the DHCP server to so that the printer has a static address.

Note

❒

When multiple DHCP servers exist, turn an equal reservation into all DHCP server. A Network Interface Board works by information from DHCP server replied to in the first place.

Follow these steps to provide the printer with a static IP address.
