Print Server User Manual 13

Saving the IP Address in the Print Server

2 Saving the IP Address in the Print Server

TCP/IP network protocols require the storing of the IP address in the print server so that the device can be



addressed within the network. This chapter describes the various methods of IP address assignments.

Why IP Addresses?

How Does the Print

Server Obtain IP

Addresses?

An IP address is used to address network devices in an IP network.

Depending on the network type the print server can also be addressed via alternative parameters such as the host name, the print server name, or the IPX address. Detailed information can be found in the print server installation manual.

SEH print servers are shipped without an IP address. The print server is able to assign itself an IP address during the initial installation. Boot protocols are used to assign an IP address automatically to the print server. Upon delivery, the boot protocols ’BOOTP’, ’DHCP’, and ’ZeroConf’ are enabled.

Once the print server is connected to the network, it checks whether an IP address can be obtained from the boot protocols BOOTP or DHCP. If this is not the case, the print server assigns itself an IP address via ZeroConf from the address range (169.254.0.0/16) which is reserved for ZeroConf.

Once the print server has automatically received an IP address via a boot protocol, you can save a freely definable IP address in the print server.

If you want to assign an IP address to a print server that supports WLAN, see: Ö199. To use IPv6 addresses, see: Ö205.

2.1 ... via ZeroConf / Bonjour

ZeroConf describes the automatic assignment of IP addresses within a network.

; The 'ZeroConf' parameter has been activated, see: ’How to

Configure TCP/IP’ Ö176.

If no IP address can be assigned via boot protocols, the print server assigns itself an IP address via ZeroConf. For this purpose, the print server picks an IP address at random from the address range (169.254.0.0/16) which is reserved for ZeroConf and sends a query to the network.

If this IP address has already been assigned elsewhere in the network, the print server will receive a message. The print server then sends another query with a different IP address. If the IP address is available, it is saved in the print server.

If you wish to use an IP address different from the one assigned via ZeroConf, you can save a freely definable IP address in the print server later on.

Bonjour

Requirements

What Happens When

the Print Server is

Turned on?

Integration of the

Printer Server in

Other Networks

Bonjour allows the automatic recognition of computers, devices, and network services in TCP/IP-based networks.

The domain name service is used for additional Bonjour features in Apple systems. Since there is no central DNS server in Bonjour networks, each device and application has its own small DNS server.

This integrated DNS server (mDNS) collects and administers the information of all participants in the net. In addition to the features of a classical DNS server, the mDNS server also saves the IP address, the service name and the offered services of each participant.

; The 'Bonjour' parameter has been activated, see: ’How to

Configure AppleTalk/Bonjour’ Ö182.

The print server repeats the same procedure (see ZeroConf) for the service name. The service name consists of the default print server name and the name of the connected printer. After that, the print server starts its printing and HTTP service and advertises both services in the network. Now the print server is visible in the network and printing can begin.

In many cases, the print server is to be integrated into the actual network after the automatic configuration in the 169.254.0.0/16 segment. In Apple systems you can use the Safari browser to call the Print Server Homepage via Bonjour and configure the print server accordingly. In other networks you can do this using the InterCon-NetTool.

2.2 ... via BOOTP

The print server supports BOOTP, which means that the IP address of the print server can be assigned via a BOOTP server. If the BOOTP boot protocol has been installed in your network, you must edit the '/etc/bootptab' file. This file is located on the host running the BOOTP daemon. The '/etc/bootptab' file contains a permanent copy of the assignment of the host name and the IP address to the hardware address.

What Happens When

Printing?

; The 'BOOTP' parameter has been activated, see: ’How to

Configure TCP/IP’ Ö176.

Once the print server has been turned on, it asks the BOOTP for the IP address and the host name. The BOOTP host answers and sends a data packet containing the IP address. The IP address is saved in the print server.

During the installation of the print server, its host name is displayed on the monitor of the computer intended for printing. The computer finds the IP address of the print server by means of either the local 'etc/hosts' file or the DNS server. The print data can then be sent to this IP address.

2.3 ... via DHCP

The print server supports DHCP, which means that the IP address of the print server can be assigned dynamically via a DHCP server.

In networks with DHCP servers, the dynamic name registration is done by DNS servers, which can be dynamically configured by the DHCP server. Most systems additionally use a WINS server, which answers name enquires that the DNS server cannot handle.

The print server does not support DHCPv6.

Requirements

; The 'DHCP' parameter has been activated, see: ’How to Configure

TCP/IP’ Ö176.

; The parameter 'WINS registration' has been enabled, see

Ö179.

; The parameter 'WINS via DHCP' has been enabled, see Ö179.

What Happens When

Print Server User Manual 17

After the hardware installation, the print server asks a DHCP server for an IP address by means of a broadcast query. The DHCP server identifies the print server on the basis of its hardware address and sends a data packet to the print server.

Saving the IP Address in the Print Server

This data packet contains, among others, the IP address of the print server, the default gateway, and the IP address of the DNS server. The data is saved in the print server.

The print server now transmits a name registration request to the WINS server, along with the IP address and host name assignment. The answer from the WINS server contains the period of validity of the name entry in the WINS database. Once this period has expired, the print server renews its registration with the WINS server so that its IP address and host name remain constantly valid.

What Happens When

Printing?

WINS Without DHCP

Requirements

During the installation of the print server, its host name is displayed on the monitor of the computer intended for printing. In order for you to be able to assign the host name to the IP address, the computer asks the DNS server for the IP address of the print server. If the DNS server cannot answer this request, it forwards the request to the WINS server. Once the computer receives the answer, it sends the print data to the IP address of the print server.

You can also enter the IP address instead of the host name during the print server installation. In this case, you can send print data directly to the IP address. The configuration of a print server on a DHCP server depends on the operating system.

You can set up the print server in a network only with WINS and without DHCP. In this case, the print server registers with the WINS server directly. In this process, you must configure the IP address of the WINS server manually in the print server.

To use WINS without DHCP, the following requirements are necessary:

; The 'DHCP' parameter has been disabled, see: ’How to Configure

TCP/IP’ Ö176.

; The parameter 'WINS registration' has been disabled, see

Ö179.

; The parameter 'WINS via DHCP' has been disabled, see Ö179.

Print Server User Manual 18

Saving the IP Address in the Print Server

2.4 ... via Auto-Configuration (IPv6 Standard)

The print server can have an IPv4 address and several IPv6 addresses at the same time. The IPv6 standard is used to automatically assign IP addresses in IPv6 networks. When connected to an IPv6 network, the print server will automatically obtain an additional link-local IPv6 address.

What Happens When

the Print Server is

Turned on?

The IPv6 standard uses the following mechanism to assign IP addresses automatically. When the print server is started in an IPv6 network, the print server will be addressed via an automatically generated address from the link-local address range (FE8 …).

A procedure that uses the MAC address is used to automatically generate IP addresses.

The print server uses the link-local IP address to search for a router. The print server sends so-called 'Router Solicitations' (RS) to the special multicast address FF02::2. The available router will then return a Router Advertisement (RA) containing the required information.

In order to define the router, see: Ö208.

With a prefix from the range of the global unicast addresses, the print server can compose its own address. It simply replaces the first 64 bits (prefix FE80::) with the prefix that was sent in the RA.

In order to change the length of the prefix, see: Ö208.

Requirements

; The 'IPv6' parameter has been activated. ; The 'Automatic configuration' parameter has been activated.

In order to deactivate the automatic assignment of the IP address, see: ’Configuring IPv6 Settings’ Ö208. For further information; see: ’IPv6 (Printing in IPv6 Networks)’ Ö205.

Print Server User Manual 20

2.6 ... via ARP/PING

Saving the IP Address in the Print Server

ARP Table

The assignment of the IP address to the hardware address can be done via the ARP table. The ARP table is an internal system file in which the assignment is temporarily saved (about 15 min). This table is administered by the ARP protocol.

By means of the 'arp' and 'ping' commands, you can save the IP address in the print server. If the print server already has an IP address, the 'arp' and 'ping' commands cannot be used to save a new IP address.

However, an IP address from the address range (169.254.0.0/16) which is reserved for ZeroConf can be overwritten by means of the 'arp' and 'ping' commands.

Use the 'arp' and 'ping' commands to save the IP address if your network has no superordinate management of IP addresses (e.g. DHCP, BOOTP).

The 'arp' command is used for editing the ARP table. The 'ping' command transfers a data packet containing the IP address to the hardware address of the print server. If the data packet has been successfully sent and received, the print server permanently saves the IP address.

The implementation of the 'arp' and 'ping' command depends on the system used. Read the documentation for your operating system.

Requirements

; The 'ARP/PING' parameter has been activated, see: ’How to

Configure TCP/IP’ Ö176.

Edit the ARP table: Syntax:

arp -s <IP address><hardware address>

Example: arp -s 192.168.0.123 00-c0-eb-00-01-ff

Assign a new IP address to the print server: Syntax: ping <IP address> Example: ping 192.168.0.123

The separators within the hardware address that are used in this example correspond to the Windows platform (Vista/XP/2000).

Print Server User Manual 21

Saving the IP Address in the Print Server

Troubleshooting

The 'Addition failed' error occurs when you use the 'arp' command. This error informs you that the ARP table is empty and that the new entry cannot be added. This problem occurs with certain operating systems such as all Microsoft Windows versions with the exception of NT 4.0. The solution to the problem is to ping a station in the network before using the 'arp' command for the first time or use the InterCon-NetTool to enter the IP address.

4.1 How to Install in Windows Systems

Depending on the selected printing method, the print server can be integrated into various Windows systems.

There are many ways to install the print server in Windows systems, depending on the printing method.

Overview of Printing

Methods

• The LPD protocol is used for printing in Windows NT 4.0 and NT

3.51 systems. The LPD protocol is a special protocol used for print data. During LPD printing the server sends the print data to the IP address of the print server by means of the LPR port. The print server receives the print data and routes it to the printer.

• In peer-to-peer networks all clients have the same rights and can share their resources with other computers. The print server acts as network connection for a printer which is independent of a client. The print data is transferred from the individual client to the network. The print server receives the print data and routes it to the printer. Peer-to-Peer printing via NetBIOS is supported by all Windows systems.

• The Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) provides printing services via a network. In a client/server system, such as Windows Vista/XP/2000, the client sends a query to the print server. After transmision of the print data, the data is printed.

• During socket printing, the print server acts as network connection for a printer which is independent of a client. Printing is carried out by means of direct TCP/IP ports. The ports are installed with the aid of the SEH Print Monitor (see Ö51). The print data is transferred from the individual client to the network using the SEH Print Monitor. The print server receives the print data and routes it to the printer.

Configuring the Printer Port using the SEH Print Monitor

As far as socket printing is concerned, a printer port must be added to every client intended for printing. This section describes the installation and configuration of TCP/IP and HTTP ports on the client. The SEH Print Monitor is available for configuration purposes.

What is the

SEH Print Monitor?

Which Ports Are

Available?

Procedure

The

SEH Print Monitor

constitutes the connecting piece between the computer and the print server. It ensures the transfer of print data from the client to the print server by means of direct TCP/IP ports. The Print Monitor

can be installed and configured on every client intended

SEH

for printing. It is not possible to share the printer.

Using the SEH Print Monitor you can adapt printing to your individual needs. You can define whether printing is done via a TCP/IP port or a HTTP port. The following features can be realized when printing via HTTP ports:

• Encryption of print data

• Identity check of the users and devices before they gain access

to the print server (authentication)

• Using a proxy server, print jobs can be sent to a print server via

the Internet

• Detailed and print server specific error messages

In order to configure a printer port at the client, follow the instructions:

Installing the Print Server via CUPS (Socket Printing)

This section describes the installation of the print server using the print system CUPS (Common UNIX Print System). CUPS is a common printing system and is available for many popular Linux distributions. For further information about CUPS, please visit www.cups.org.

The printing method is socket printing. During socket printing, the print server acts as network connection for a printer which is independent of a client. Printing is carried out by means of direct TCP/IP ports.

Requirements

; The print server is connected to the network and the printer. ; The print server and the printer are turned on. ; The print server is known to the network via its IP address. Use

the IP Wizard of the InterCon-NetTool in order to assign an IP address to the print server, see: Ö20.

; CUPS is installed on the client and started. ; The Apache HTTP server is installed and was started.

Proceed as follows:

1. Start the browser.

2. Enter http://<host name>:631 as the URL.

Print Server User Manual 90

Print Server Parameters

Resetting Parameters using the Status Button

The reset process comprises three different steps.

• In the first step, the print server is forced into reset mode. The

parameters are reset in this mode.

• The second step involves restarting the printer or the print

server.

• In the third step, a status page is printed. The status page can be

used to check whether the parameters were successfully reset. (Note: It is not possible to print a status page via a GDI printer.)

IMPORTANT: The reset mode is signaled by the simultaneous flashing of the Activity LED (yellow) and the Status LED (green) and remains active for the duration of five flashes. The status button must be released within this time frame, otherwise the print server will go into BIOS mode. In this case you need to start the reset process again.

These three steps are illustrated in the following. Internal and external print server models each have their own processes, which are illustrated separately. The illustrations may vary slightly from your device model.

Before starting the reset process, disconnect the network cable from the print server in order to avoid the distracting flashing Link LED. (Does not apply to WLAN and PoE print server models.)

6.1 How to Configure the DNS

DNS is a service that translates domain names into IP addresses. Using DNS, names can be assigned to IP addresses and vice versa. DNS also allows the saving of additional attributes of a device. If a DNS server is available in your network, you can use DNS for your print server.

If DNS is enabled, you can assign network devices via the domain name when configuring the print server. DNS is needed for the SMTP, SNTP, and POP3 functionality, for example.

If DNS is disabled, the SMTP and POP3 protocols are not available.

6.2 How to Configure the Device Time

You can set the time of the print server via a time server (SNTP server) in the network. A timeserver is a computer networking device that reads the actual time from a reference clock and distributes this information to its clients. The time server is defined via the IP address or the domain name.

Benefits and

Purpose

UTC

Time zone

Requirements

What do you want

to do?

If the time server is activated, all print jobs that are handled by the print server will get a time stamp. Date and time are then displayed under Job History.

The print server uses ’UTC’ (Universal Time Coordinated) as a basis. UTC is a reference time and used as a time standard. The reference point for UTC is the prime meridian.

The time received by the time server does not necessarily correspond to your local time zone. Deviations from your location and the resulting time difference (including country-specific particularities such as Daylight Saving Time) can be handled by means of the ‘Time zone’ parameter.

; A time server is integrated into the network.
