Important!
For information about configuring the Ethernet attachment, please see
IBM Network Printers: Ethernet and Token Ring Quick Configuration Guide,
which comes with the Ethernet Network Interface Card. "Chapter 9.
Configuring Printer Network Addresses" on page 185 describes how to
define the IP address, default gateway address, and subnet mask from
the operator panel.
Use the Ethernet Menu to configure the Ethernet attachment. The following
table describes the settings you can change from the Ethernet Menu. An
Value
Selects the Netware frame type.
v AUTO—the printer uses the frame type of the first frame
it receives.
v 802.2—the printer uses the IEEE 802.2 frame type.
v SNAP—the printer uses the SNAP frame type.
Note: This menu item appears only when NETWARE is
ON.
Turns NetBIOS communications on or off.
v ON—enables NetBIOS communications.
v OFF—disables NetBIOS communications.
Turns AppleTalk communications on or off.
v ON—enables AppleTalk communications.
v OFF—disables AppleTalk communications.
Specifies the MAC (medium access control) number of the
printer.
Note: Normally, the MAC ADDRESS should be set to the
unique MAC ADDRESS on the network interface card. You
can, however, also use the MAC ADDRESS field to define
locally administered addresses (LAA). Resetting the printer
to factory defaults sets the LAA back to the MAC address.
Each LAA must be unique, so make sure to consult your
network or LAN administrator before changing this value.
See "Setting the Locally Administered MAC Address
(LAA)" on page 186 for more information.
