Features
❖
• Support for 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T
• The Network Interface Board is compatible with NetWare (IPX/SPX),
Windows NT (TCP/IP, NetBEUI), Windows 95/98 (TCP/IP, NetBEUI) ,
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 a 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.

Multidirect Print supports the TCP/IP protocol and the NetBEUI protocol.
Consult the network administrator before selecting the protocol.
Limitation
❒
When you use the NetBEUI protocol, you cannot print to a printer which is
located on the other side of a router.
Note
❒
You can use both TCP/IP and NetBEUI protocols in a computer. To use both
protocols, you must first install them.
Preparing to Use the TCP/IP Protocol for Printing
To use the TCP/IP protocol to print, the network must be configured as described below.
Configuring the printer
Configure your printer to use the TCP/IP protocol.
• Confirm that the TCP/IP protocol is set to active. (The default setting is active.)
• Assign an IP address and make other settings required for using the TCP/IP
protocol.

Assigning IP Address with ARP+PING
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 more information on setting
it to active, see the "Printer Reference" that is provided as a paper manual.
Log in to the workstation as root.

Use the arp command to assign the IP address to the MAC address of the
B
Network Interface Board.
# arp -s 192.168.15.16 00:00:74:62:5C:65
Note
❒
192.168.15.16 is the IP address, and 00:00:74:62:5C:65 is the MAC address.
Assign the IP address using the PING command.
C
# ping 192.168.15.16
5
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, see the "Printer Reference" included as a PDF file in the CD-ROM.

Remote Maintenance by Telnet (mshell)
You can view the printer status and configure the network interface board using
telnet.
Note
❒
You should use 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 using telnet.
Limitation
❒
Only one person at a time can log on to do remote maintenance.

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

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

A gateway address is for the router or host computer used as a gateway.

Note
❒
The Access Control Address and the Access Control Mask are used to limit
access to the computer used for printing by denying access to users based on
their IP address. If it is not necessary to limit access, set the Access Control
Mask to “0.0.0.0”.
❒
When the Access Control Address matches the masked result of the IP address of the computer attempting to print, print jobs from that IP address can
be accepted by the Network Interface Board.
❒
For example, if you assign 192.168.15.16 as the Access Control Address to the
Network Interface Board, the combination of the Access Control Mask and
the IP addresses that can be printed are as follows. The XXX is a variable that
means any number from 1 to 255 is acceptable.

Precautions
Precautions
Please pay attention to the following when using a network interface board.
When configuration is necessary, follow the appropriate procedures below.
Connecting a Dial up Router to a Network
When the NetWare file server and the printer are on the opposite side of a router,
packets are continuously sent back and forth, possibly causing communications
charges to increase. Because the packet transmission is a specification of NetWare, you need to change the configuration of the router. If the network you are
using does not allow you to configure the router, configure the printer.
Configuring the router
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. For more information on printing a configuration page,
see the "Printer Reference" that comes with the printer.
❒
For more information on configuring the printer if the router cannot be configured, see the instructions below.
Configuring the printer with NetWare
Following the setup method in this manual, configure the file server.

Set the frame type for a NetWare environment.

Printing after resetti ng 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
Note the following points when using DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).
Supported systems
Windows NT Server 4.0 can be configured as a DHCP server.
Configuring the printer with a reserved IP address
To always assign the same IP address, configure a reserved IP address using the
DHCP server.
Note
❒
When multiple DHCP servers are used, reserve the same address with each
DHCP server. The Network Interface Board needs to receive information
from the DHCP server that it contacts.
Follow these steps to configure the printer with a reserved IP address.

Active Lease
• When you click
client leases appears. When the reserved IP address is not active, the name of
the reservation is the name entered in the Client Name field of the Add Reserved Clients dialog box. When the reserved IP address becomes active, the
client name changes to the printer name configured by the Network Interface
Board. Only the first 13 letters of the printer name appear here. When you use
the printer with Multidirect Print, use the host name of the printer as the
ent Properties
• When the DHCP server does not assign an IP address, the Network Interface
Board uses 11.22.33.44 as a temporary IP address. You can confirm the printer's IP address on the network configuration page.
• Because 11.22.33.44 is a special IP address, you cannot print using this address.
• When using the DHCP relay agent in a network environment that uses a dial
up router to connect to the Network Interface Board, an increase in communication fees can occur.
