Assigning an IP Address
Before you can begin working with 10/100 Internal PS, you mus t get or assign 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:
• Web View — Browser-enabled method to assign an IP address.
• ZebraNet View — Utility that remotely manages ZebraLink-enabled printers.
• DHCP — See your LAN administrator for more 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

Assigning an IP Address

With Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
If your network uses DHCP, your 10/100 Internal 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 addressing 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 utility 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 49.

Assigning an IP Address
Assigning an IP Address with DHCP
To assign an IP address using ZebraNet View, complete these steps:
1. From the task bar, select Start > Programs > ZebraNet Utilities > ZebraNet View.
Important • On the illustration that follows, take note 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 13 • 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.
4. From the menu bar, select PrintServer > Configuration.
Important • If the 10/100 Internal PS does not have an IP address, it shows in the main
screen with an IP of 0.0.0.0. If, after 2 minutes, you do no t assign an IP Address, the
10/100 Internal PS defaults to IP Address 192.168.254.254.
5. If your 10/100 Internal PS does not have an IP address, complete these steps:
•Find your 10/100 Internal PS and right-click.
•In the small dialog that opens, enter an IP Address, click OK.
•The ZebraNet View dialog opens.

4. Confirm it is accurate, and click OK.
These steps can be used to assign an IP address using the control panel (LCD).
To assign an IP address from the printer LCD, complete these steps:
1. Turn on (I) the printer and wait until the LCD says PRINTER READY. If you do not have
a network cable in the port, the 10/ 100 Internal PS p rints the co nfiguration l abel when it is
ready.
2. On the printer control panel, press SETUP/EXIT.
3. On the printer control panel, press PREVIOUS until you reach th e NETWORK SETTINGS
menu item.
4. You can edit any of the following network settings in order to communicate with any
10/100 Internal PS in your network environm ent.
Important • To change any of these settings, you need to enter the printer password. The
default password is
1234.
•ip resolution (dynamic, permanen t): The printer menu item IP RESOLUTION must
be set to

Assigning an IP Address via a Telnet Session
If your environment is not Windows-based, this section is for you. However, this method can
be used in a Windows environment, too.
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
10/100 Internal PS a temporary IP address.
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 DHCP or Bootp), it use s a default address. The default a ddress for
10/100 Internal PS is 192.168.254.254. Print the 10/100 Internal PS configuration
label to confirm the address. For details, see Before You Begin on page 34.
Getting Started
Assigning an IP Address
45
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
2. Power cycle the printer.
3. As the printer reboots, begin a continuous ping to the address assigned previously.
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,
5. Telnet to the 10/100 Internal PS and assign the appropriate IP address, subnet mask, and
Ctrl + C halts the pinging.
gateway, if applicable.
6. Once this is complete, reset the 10/100 Internal PS.
For details on resetting the 10/100 Internal PS, see Reset on page 30.

.
This tells the 10/100 Internal PS what TCP/IP address to send the alerts to, and under what
circumstances to send error and log reports. Entering 255.255.255.255 broadcasts th e
message to every host on the network with an SNMP program running.
6. For ZebraNet Alert to ge t and disp la y the messages, you need to open ZebraNet Alert. To
do this, follow these steps:
a.From the task bar, select Start > Programs > ZebraNet Utilities > ZebraNet Alert.
Important • The SNMP trap settings must be established to communicate with
10/100 Internal PS if messages are sent to the ZebraNet Alert.
b.In the ZebraNet Alert dialog, from the menu bar, select View > Filter Settings.
c.From the View Filter - Devices tab, choose your settings accordingly.
Note • If you select No device filtering, messages from every printer are caught;
Device Address allows you to specify from which IP address data will come.
d.The View Filter - Events tab allows you to select individual events you want the
program to be aware of.
.
Important • Now SNMP Alert messages for the 10/100 Internal PS can be set up in
W ebView. From the pri nter’s ho me page, activa te the link to Alert Setup. You can add
messages that are sent to the ZebraN et Alert for Windows by choosing SNMP as a
