Configuring the Interface
Each Epson Ethernet Interface module has a 'Base' MAC Address programmed into the it. A unique MAC Address and a
Serial Number are programmed into the Flash ROM at the factory, and cannot be changed. Labels with both the MAC
address and serial number are affixed to the module. These numbers are important when configuring the adapter- It is
advisable to make a note of these values in a secure place.
The Internet or IP address can be set using the web interface or Epson EEI utility. It can be dynamically reassigned via
DHCP, BOOTP, or ARP/Ping.
High Level Configuration
Option 1 (Ethernet II only): Using a web browser, type the default IP address (found on a label on the interface card) into
the address field of your web browser. The configuration screen should appear. The default password for the interface is
Epson. We highly recommend this be changed. Once the web interface is running, all application, network, printer and
password settings can be modified.
Option 2 (Ethernet II or Ethernet III): Use the Epson Ethernet Interface Configuration Program for this series of adapter,
EEIUtil.exe, The program will discover all Epson Ethernet printers on your network and allow you to reconfigure them.
Note: the TMNetWinConfig is not compatible with this model of adapter.
