TCP/IP configuration for a PC

If you don't already have a TCP/IP address configured for your PC, contact your system

administrator to ensure that the configuration is made according to your company

guidelines. If there is no TCP/IP network already in place, configure your PC with a

unique address such as 192.1.1.1. To check the IP address for your PC, follow these steps:

From the Start menu, click Run.

Enter: winipcfg. (If the file is not found, TCP/IP may not be installed.)

Click OK.

Choose your network adapter from the list.

The IP address is listed in the IP Address field.

For more information on installing and configuring TCP/IP in Windows environments, see

your Microsoft Windows documentation.

Setting up the printer for TCP/IP printing

The Tektronix Installer for Windows automatically performs the following functions to set

up your printer:

Locates your printer on the network.

Suggests an IP address for the printer if one has not already been assigned (for

example, from the front panel or by DHCP). You are given the opportunity to accept

the automatically assigned address or assign a different one. For information on other

methods of setting the printer's IP address, see Setting the Printer's IP Address on

page 22.

Installs PhaserPort for Windows (if not already installed). PhaserPort for Windows is

a Tektronix port monitor for printing over Windows 95 and Windows 98 TCP/IP

peer-to-peer networks.

Installs the driver.

Creates a printer in the Printers window.

Choose the procedure appropriate for your environment:

For installation on a workstation for peer-to-peer printing, see the next topic,

Installation on workstations for peer-to-peer printing.

For installation on workstations when print jobs are to be sent through a print server

to the printer, see Installation on workstations for client-server printing on page 16.
