Network Interface Cards; Installing A Network Interface Card - IBM InfoPrint 20 User Manual

Network Interface Cards

The InfoPrint 20 attaches to networks and other system configurations
through these optional cards:
v IBM Network Card for Ethernet (10BaseT/10Base2)
v IBM Network Card for Token Ring
v IBM Twinax SCS Interface Card
v IBM Coax SCS Interface Card
If you have purchased network interface cards for your printer, install them in
the printer following the steps listed in this section. Two cards to connect to
two different systems can be installed.
Note: You cannot install two identical cards. For example, the printer cannot
accept two IBM Network Cards for Ethernet, but it can accept an IBM
Ethernet card and an IBM Token Ring card.
A system or network administrator should review the documentation shipped
with the network interface card to configure the printer and your computing
environment correctly. IBM Network Printers: Ethernet and Token Ring Quick
Configuration Guide is shipped with the Ethernet and token-ring network
interface cards. IBM Network Printers: Twinax/Coax Configuration Guide is
shipped with the Twinax and Coax network interface cards.
Only a system or network administrator should configure your network
computing environment for this printer.
