The ZM400, ZM600, and Xi4 printers support the simultaneous installation of an internal
wired, external wired, and a wireless print server. Even though all three print servers may be
installed, only one is connected to the network and is the active print server. Table 4 outlines
priorities and identifies which device becomes the active print server when multiple print
servers are installed.

Assigning an IP Address
Before you can begin working with 10/100 Internal PS, you must get or assig n an IP address
for the 10/100 Internal PS device.
There are four different ways to assign an IP address. Here is a list and a brief description of
each method:
Getting Started
Assigning an IP Address
33
• Web View — Browser-enabled method to assi
gn an IP address.
• ZebraNet View — Utility that remotely manages ZebraLink-enabled printers.
• DHCP — See your LAN administrator for mor
e information.
• Telnet — DOS command to assign an IP address.
Important • Throughout the procedures in this cha pter , there are some feat ures that require the
default User ID and/or default password. If you are prompted, these are the defaults:
•User ID: admin
•Password: 1234
With Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
If your network uses DHCP, your 10/100 In ternal PS device is assigned a temporary IP
address.
Note • Check with your Network Administrator to see whether your network uses DHCP.
Without DHCP
If your network does not use a dynamic IP addressi
ng system (such as DHCP), you need to set
a permanent IP address for the 10/100 Internal PS device. ZebraNet View is the
Windows-based print server management and configuration utilit y that comes with your
10/100 Internal PS.
Important • The remaining sections are dependent on the successful installation of ZebraNet
Utilities. To install, see ZebraNet Utilities on page 42.

Assigning an IP Address
Assigning an IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway
To assign an IP address, Subnet, and Default Gateway using ZebraNet View,
complete these steps:
1. From the task bar, select Start > Programs > ZebraNet Utilities > ZebraNet View.
Important • On the illustrati on that follows, take no te of the H/W address column and
Serial # column. Compare what you see in ZebraNet View with the network
configuration label you printed out.
The ZebraNet View dialog opens:
Figure 9 • ZebraNet View
2. Compare the MAC Address on the 10/100 Internal PS network configuration label with
the H/W Address column on the screen to find the 10/100 Internal PS you are working
with.
3. When you locate your 10/100 Internal PS, select it.

These steps can be used to assign an IP address using the control panel (LCD).
Note • This method is not available for the G-Series, ZP Series, 2824 Plus, and HC100
printers because they do not have a control panel (or printer LCD).
To assign an IP address from the printer LCD, complete these steps:
1. Connect the AC power cord and data cables.
2. Turn on (I) the printer.
3. Wait until the printer completes the POST and the LCD says PRINTER READY.

Assigning an IP Address
Assigning an IP Address via a Telnet Session
The methods used for assigning an IP address with a Telnet session are Static Route and
Gleaning.
Important • This applies to any TCP/IP-capable workstation/host networked with the Zebra
printer. Both, the workstation/host and the 10/100 Internal PS, must be on the same network
segment.
Before you can Telnet to the 10/100 Internal PS and configure it, you must first assign the
/100 Internal PS a temporary IP address.
10
Static Route
To use this method, complete these steps:
1. Turn on (I) the printer and wait for 2 minutes to allow for the device to complete the
self-test.
During this time, the 10/100 Internal PS performs an address broadcast. If no address is
assigned to the unit (via
for 10/100 Internal PS is 192.168.254.254. Prin
DHCP or BOOTP), it uses a default address. The default address
t the 10/100 Internal PS
configuration label to confirm the address. For details, see Before You Begin on page 22.
2. You can use the route add command to place the default IP address into the
workstation's network routing table.
Example • In the next step, **** is the IP address on the 10/100 Internal PS
configuration label.
3. At the workstation/host command prompt (in Windows, at the DOS prompt), type:
route add **** "IP address of the workstation" 0
Note • The zero (0) placed at the end of the “route add” command is optional on some
systems.
4. Telnet to the 10/100 Internal PS by typing:
"Telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
The password is 1234.
5. At this point, you can alter the settings as desired. When complete, do a reset and allow
the 10/100 Internal PS self-test to complete before proceeding with any communications
activity.

Assigning an IP Address
Gleaning
A method by which the 10/100 Internal PS uses the IP address of the first ping packet that is
sent to its hardware address.
Note • Gleaning works only on local subnets at routers. It does not pass Address Resolution
Protocol (ARP) broadcasts.
To use this method, complete these steps:
1. Add an entry to the ARP table that assigns an IP address to an Ethernet (hardware)
address.
The syntax for this command is:
arp -s "temporary ipaddress of print server" "MAC Address
(print server hardware address)" arp -s <temporary ip
address> <MAC Address>
Example • You would type:
arp -s 10.3.50.59 00-07-4d-68-1D-B9-86
39
2. Power cycle the printer.
3. As the printer reboots, begin a continuous ping to the address assigned p reviously.
Note • Most UNIX systems use a continuous ping.
To use a continuous ping from a Windows host, you must issue the command:
ping -t "ipaddress".
4. When the 10/100 Internal PS begins to respond, stop the ping activity.
In Windows, Ctrl + C halts the pinging.
5. Telnet to the 10/100 Internal PS and assign the appropriate IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway, if applicable.
6. Once this is complete, reset the 10/100 Internal PS.

TCP/IP Configuration
You can change the TCP/IP configuration of the
10/100 Internal PS.
•IP Address: Use this feature to set the IP
address if using the Permanent addressing
method.
•IP Protocol: Use this feature to select the
Dynamic Addressing method to use at
startup. Choices include: ALL, GLEANING
ONLY, RARP, BOOTP, DHCP, BOOTP and
DHCP, or PERMANENT.
•Default Address Enabled: This setting
determines if the printer will use its default
address, if no address is provided through
DHCP or BOOTP. If no address is assigned
after two minutes, the print server defaults to
IP address 192.168.254.254.
•Subnet Mask: Use this feature to set the
subnet mask. The subnet mask must follow
the format XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, where
each XXX is a number between 0 and 255.
•Default Gateway: Use this feature to set the
default gateway. This gateway will be used
whenever messages need to be sent to
another network. This gateway address must
follow the format XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX,
where each XXX is a number between 0 and
255.
•WINS Server IP Address: Use this feature
to set or view the IP address of the WINS
Server.
•Connection Timeout Checking: Use this
feature to enable or disable the Connection
Timeout feature. The timeout is used to close
network TCP/IP connections that are idle for
more than the number of seconds entered in
the Timeout Value.
•Timeout Value (secs): Use this feature to set
the Connection Timeout Value. The Valid
range is 10 to 3600 seconds. The default is
300 seconds.
•ARP Broadcast Interval (mins): Use this
feature to set interval for sending an ARP
Broadcast. The valid range is 1 to 30 minutes.
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
broadcast packets allow other network
devices to associate the print server's IP
Address with its hardware address.
•Base Raw Port Number: Use this feature to
set the raw TCP port that the print server will
use for printing tasks. The default is port
9100.

TCP/IP Logical Printing Ports
Logical printers allow you to set up multiple preand post-processing configurations for each
output port. Each logical port configuration can
perform the following:
•Add user-configured strings before and after
the print data.
•Remove unwanted characters from the
beginning of the print data.
•Four logical printer configurations are
supported for each output port on the printer.
The configurations can be assigned to any
port, and all of these configurations can be
assigned to a single output port.
