TCP/IP Specifications

This product has the following TCP/IP specifications.

• IP version 4

• IP routing: 1

• ICMP Redirect Request

• ICMP Echo Request

• UDP Maximum Number of Sessions: 8

• UDP Maximum Data Gram Length: 2048 octet for both sending and receiveing

• UDP Omitted When Sending Check Sum (Normally 0)

• TCP Maximum Number of Sessions: 24 (Of these, 1 is used in LISTEN)

• TCP Window Size: Maximum 8192 octet for both sending and receiving (Variable using

upper protocols)

The TCP/IP protocol environment is provided with LPD, IPP, Raw Mode Print (TCP #9100) and FTP

for printing, and can use TELNET, HTTP and FTP to change each setting.

Supports TCP/IP printing which is provided as standard with Windows NT/Windows 2000/Windows

XP. Specifications of protocols differ with the normal UNIX for these LPD, so printing is not possible

by spooling to a UNIX server once, such by sending Windows to UNIX to product. Also, because

LPD is not provided in Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows ME, direct printing is not possible.

However, direct printing is possible by using a tool dedicated to that purpose (Star LPR).

3.3.1. Setting the IP Addresses

This product has five IP address setting methods for Star’s independent setting protocols. They are

DHCP; BOOTP; RARP; and ARP. Immediately after initializing settings, all settings methods are

initialized and enabled. Therefore, it is possible to set IP addresses using any method.

The following describes how to set IP addresses using each method, assuming the following

addresses: MAC address: 00:80:92:12:34:56; IP address: 192.168.1.1 (pbox)

* The IP address dynamically ensured by this product is not written to the storage field of the setting

information. Specifically, if setting an IP address using either DHCP, BOOTP, RARP or ARP and

starting up that IP address the next time, it is necessary to change the IP address of the setting

information region using http (WEB), FTP and TELNET.

IFBD-HW03/04 Product Specifications Rev. 0.00

3.3.1.1. DHCP/BOOTP

This product conforms to RFC2131/RFC2132. It is possible to get the IP address, sub-net mask,

gateway address and DNS server address using either the DHCP server or the BOOTP server.

A work station running either a DHCP server or BOOTP server is necessary for setting IP addresses

using DHCP/BOOTP.

• Supports Windows NT DHCP server specifications (specifications incorporating

Microsoft expansion).

• Because part of the DHCP Discover protocol is compatible with the BOOTP Request,

both are handled as the same thing. For example, if a BOOTP Reply is returned for a

DHCP Discover, the system uses the address obtained by BOOTP.

• The DHCP/BOOTP Request constantly sends with a broadcast (255.255.255.255).

However, only the DHCP Renew Request (delay request for address use time) is sent to

the server that obtained that address.

• DHCP/BOOTP timeout is 4 seconds, which is the recommended value for RFC2131.

However, variable ±1 second according to a random number. There are three retries.

• Use the set IP address in the issuer’s address and DHCP/BOOTP CIADDR (client IP

address) field if the IP address is preset. When a normal response is received, it

switches to the newly obtained IP address.

• The issuer address and CIADDR become 0.0.0.0 if the IP address is not set. Also, in

such a case, a “B” flag (0x8000) is set to the DHCP Discover packet flags field, and a

request is made to the server for each ‘broadcast of DHCP Response.’

Setting Method: Register the IP addresses to be set and the combination of MAC addresses to the

DHCP/BOOTP server, then turn on the power to the product.

3.3.1.2. RARP

A work station running either an RARP server is necessary for setting IP addresses using RARP.

Setting Method: Register the IP addresses to be set and the combination of MAC addresses to the

RARP server, then turn on the power to the product.

3-4

IFBD-HW03/04 Product Specifications Rev. 0.00

3.3.1.3. ARP

To set an IP address using ARP, register the IP address in combination with the MAC address and

then transmit a ping.

Setting Example:

(1) Turn on the power to the product

(2) Register the IP address in combination with the MAC address to the ARP table.

(For UNIX)

arp -s pbox 00:80:92:12:34:56 temp
arp –a

(For Windows)

arp -s pbox 00:80:92:12:34:56
arp –a

(3) Transmit a ping.

ping pbox

IFBD-HW03/04 Product Specifications Rev. 0.00

3.3.2. LPD Specifications

This products LPD protocol conforms to RFC1179. The list of logic printer names is handled as a

queue name. The product waits for the queue name Ip.

Example: Setting example for printcap

pboxlp:¥
:lp=:rm=pbox:rp=lp:

When sending jobs using Ipr, the order of sending data files and control files inside the

jobs does not affect the printing operation.

Deleting jobs using Iprm is not supported, but as a dummy response, ACK (0x0A of

one octet) is returned.

The Ipq response value format is UNIX compatible, but the long format using Ipq-I is an

independent format including the printer status.

Example: Ipq short format printer ready

lpq –Ppboxlp
no entries

Example: Ipq short format printer not ready

lpq –Ppboxlp
Warning: Printer not ready ←This message is applied regardless of the reason.
no entries

Example: Ipq long format printer ready

3.3.3. Raw Mode Print (TCP #9100) Specifications

This product provides Raw Mode Print communications that is used as a listen port for the Port: 9100,

as a printing mechanism running under the TCP/IP environment. With Raw Mode Print, all data that

flows between TCP sessions is considered data handled between the printer and PC. Bi-directional

data transmission is thus performed.

The Raw Mode Print function in this product operates under the following conditions.

• The maximum number of sessions accepted on the Port: 9100 is settable using the

following setting items.

• 9100 Multi-session: Enable: 8; 9100 Multi-session: Disable: 1 A rejection of

acceptance (TCP reset) is issued from the product to all PCs that could not establish

connection if there is no request for connection of more than the maximum number of

sessions accepted.

• Data traveling from the printer in the direction of the PC is printer status (ASB status)

information obtained via the serial RS-232C.

• Only when there is a change in the status is status data from the printer obtained by an

interruption from the printer and sent to the PC.

• The end of 1 data is considered to be established at the cut off of a TCP session (TCP FIN,

TCP RST • TCP Session Timeout). Special communication procedures are not

performed on the printer at this time. In the event that special control is necessary, such

as stopping the printer, that is performed on the PC.

3.3.6.3. Updating Firmware Using FTP

This uploads binary data for upgrades in bin format to the “flash” directory (port) with a binary mode

by logging in to the product using FTP.

• The firmware cannot be updated using FTP when starting up in the flash memory load

mode when the power is turned on, by setting the DIP switches.

• The “flash" port is viewable by all users.

• Firmware update is only possible by logging in with the root or maker user.

• When uploading or after it is completed, this checks whether transmission was correct by

calculating the sum value of the firmware data on the FTP side. If transmission was not

normal on the firmware, the update of the firmware is cancelled.

• When the update is normally on FTP, the product will self-reboot.

3.3.7.

DNS Specification

This product inquires the domain name and host name to the DNS name server and resolves IP

addresses. Also, it is possible to get IP addresses of the DNS name server using DHCP.

3.3.8. IPP

This product supports IPP (Internet Print Protocol)1.0.

• IPP/1.0

• Supports HTTP/1.1 chunked encoding

• Port 80 or 631 are available for use

• Charset supports only UTF-8

• Supports Print-Job, Validate-Job, Get-Printer-Attributes, Get-Jobs, Get-Job-Attribute

operations

• Maximum 8 jobs

The IPP Printer-URI of this product can use either “/ipp” or “/ipp/lp.” For example, if the IP address

was 192.168.1.1, the URL will be “http://192.168.1.1/ipp.

”

3.3.8.1. IPP Job Detail Specifications

As a response to Print-Job, Job-ID and Job-URI are generated. Job-ID is a request ID of the VPORT

level and takes values from 1 to 65535. Job-URI applies a Job-ID with “?” for the Printer-URI. If the

IP address is 192.168.1.1 and the request ID was 215 with Printer-URI=”/ipp,” the job URL will be

“http://192.168.1.1/ipp?215.

”

This product does not have spooling functions. Therefore, there is basically no response of the

Print-job until data reception is completed and printing ends. However, it is possible to abort jobs

being printed by issuing Get-jobs while printing, getting a job list and then issuing Cancel-job.

After printing, the job is placed in the Completed status. When the maximum number of jobs is

exceeded, the oldest Completed jobs are deleted in order.

3.3.8.2. IPP Attribute Detail Specifications

The entire character string of the device ID is returned to the printer-info, and the printer model name

(“MDL” keyword information) is returned to the printer-make-and-model if it was possible to get the

IEEE1284 device ID from the printer port.

The sysName and sysLocation contents of SNMP for each of the printer-name and printer-location

are returned.

Document-format supports “application/octet-stream” and “text/plain.”

Job-sheet (burner) supports “none,” and “standard.”

3.3.8.3. Secure Communications (SSL) Printing Function Specifications

This product is incorporated with SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) for printing in secure communications

(SSL). HTTP is mounted on the upper application of SSL to enable encrypted communications.

Encrypted communication is used in sending and receiving IPP printing and settings information to

the Web browser.

This product includes software developed by the OpenSSL Project for use in the OpenSSL Toolkit.

(http://www.openssl.org/)

Basic Specifications

Protocol: SSL v2/v3

TCP port number: 443

Public key algorithm: RSA (Key bit length: Fixed to 512 bits)

Encryption method/Key length: DES-40

DES-64

3DES-192

Hash Method: MD5

Authentication: Server authentication

ID: Identification using self-naming ID.

Secure communication (SSL) printing functions are not enabled in the default settings at the time of

shipping. Initially, create an ID from the product Web page. When SSL communications are started,

server authentication is performed in a hand-shake method for identification. At that time, the

exchange of information of the public key encryption necessary for the client and the encryption

method are determined. The client uses this public key to encrypt print data, but only the print server

that issued that ID can decrypt this data.

It is possible to set an effective time period for these IDs so that printing is no longer possible after that

period has expired. This can be used by applying a printer usage time limit. After the time limit has

expired, it is possible to create a new ID again, and to print using this new ID. Because this is a print

server ID, it does not restrict clients. There is no authentication function on the client side.

Furthermore, the name of the ID is not one related to a third party authentication mechanism; rather

it is one in the printer server.

Specify the print port for secure communication (SSL) printing as follows.

(Ex.)

https://192.168.1.1/ipp/lp

It is also possible to make secure communication (SSL) settings in addition to the secure

communication (SSL) print function. That URL is shown below.

(Ex.)

https://192.168.1.1/

IFBD-HW03/04 Product Specifications Rev. 0.00

3.3.9. POP3 Specifications

It is possible to send and print email using the Internet standard POP3 protocol. Up to 4 mail

accounts can be registered. Filtering is also possible for received mail using size, title, addressee

and sender.

3.3.9.1. Print Specifications

Only the size and filename of the attached file are printed.

3.3.9.2. Restrictions

It is possible to target mail that exceeds a predetermined size from reception.

Use the POP LIST command response to calculate size.

Use the POP UIDL command to eliminate mail that has been read from the targeted process after the

second time.

It is possible to delete received or printed mail from the server.

3.3.9.3. Filter Definition Character String

The filter is defined by a character string of a maximum of 78 characters.

The S: character string; F: character string; T: character string; and C: character string; are defined by

character strings connected by “&” and “|”

Use the following sentence by connecting using “&” (AND conditions) or “|” (OR conditions) for the

filter settings.

Class Targe t f or

Inspection
S: Subject S:news & S:daily Prints mail whose subject is daily and news.
F: From F:rt-users Prints mail from rt-users.
T: To T:[e-mail] Prints mail to support.
C: CC C:user | T:use Prints mail that includes addressee or user in CC field.

Example of Use

Ex.:

"T:user1 | C:user1 & F:[e-mail] & S:title"

Mail is printed with user 1 in to: or cc:; from: is set to [e-mail]

title in the subject.

3.4.2.2. TRAP Occurrence Phenomenon

When the EnableAuthenTrap setting on this product is set to ENABLE (which can be set from the

Web or Telnet), the following three types of phenomenon occur for the product to issue a TRAP to the

SNMP manager (Trap notification address).

TRAP Occurrence Phenomenon

1. When the product is started

[Generic trap type = 0 (Cold Start)]

2. When the printer status has changed (IEEE1284 port status monitoring)

[Generic trap type = 6 (Enterprise Specific)]

3. When there was access using an illegally authenticated community name

[Generic trap type = 4 (Authentication Failure)]

IFBD-HW03/04 Product Specifications Rev. 0.00

Other Specifications

3.5.1.

DIP Switches and LED Specifications

The DIP switches on this product startup the flash memory loader when only the first switch is ON at

startup.

After the power is turned on, the product checks the status of the DIP switches. If switch #1 is on, the

system enters flash memory load mode. In the load mode, the status LED flashes in approximately

1 second cycles. Switch #2 can determine the wireless mode at this time.

If switch #1 is off, the system starts an application written to the flash memory. By setting switch #2

to on, it is possible to set the default settings at this time.

The following table shows the allocation of operations to each status of the DIP switches.

DIP Switches

SW-1 SW-2

OFF OFF Normal startup
OFF ON Initialize setting information

ON OFF Startup loader (Infra mode)
ON ON Startup loader (Adhoc mode)

Operation

3.5.2. Flash ROM Specifications

It is possible to update the product program region by uploading firmware from the network using the

flash memory loader. Normally, this is used to upgrade, but it is also possible to downgrade when

developing products or testing.

FLDP (an independent protocol) and FTP are used as the protocols for upgrading firmware.

• Use a tool dedicated for upgrading using our FLDP. Upload data (extension: .bin) for

the version upgrade in binary format.

• Use any general FTP client to upgrade using FTP. Log in, upload data (extension: .bin)

for the version upgrade in binary format to the “flash” directory. TCP/IP is used, so it is

not possible to startup the product in loader mode using the DIP switch operations.

• If not specified in particular, no initialization of the NIC settings is necessary after

upgrading.
