Configuration Introduction The OkiLAN Internal Print Server is a fast 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T network interface. This network print server supports IEEE802.2, IEEE802.3, Ethernet-II and SNAP and can detect those frame types automatically. Also, it supports major protocols such as TCP/IP, IPX/SPX (NetWare), EtherTalk and NetBEUI. This section details the specification and several software utilities.
Self-diagnostic test With the printer power switched on, press the print server test button for more than three seconds and release. The self-diagnostic test results and configuration settings are printed. Printed self-diagnostic test sample If “NG” is displayed instead of “OK” see the “Troubleshooting” chapter.
Configuration Utility Available utilities You can configure the print server by using one of the following methods: Utility Features Quick Setup Configure the print server easily and simply without installing any software packages into your system. You can set the following: Enable/disable TCP/IP, NetWare, EtherTalk, NetBEUI protocols.

Utility Features SNMP The printer and print server can be controlled using third-party vendor developed SNMP application. Setup Configure multiple printers Assistant into groups. Filter out printers. Search and manage IP addresses. Includes firmware upgrade tool. Create MIB template. OkiLAN 8100e Network User’s Guide System requirements Third-party vendor developed SNMP application.
Using Quick Setup Quick Setup utility allows you to configure the print server easily and simply without installing any software packages. You can configure the following: > Enable/disable TCP/IP, NetWare, EtherTalk, NetBEUI protocols. > Set IP address, Subnet Mask and Gateway for TCP/IP manually or by using DHCP.

Installation enables the user to create network queues and perform other functions. If the settings are correct, click [Execute]. The new settings are transmitted to the network card but the network card is still operating with pre-transmission settings. Click [Finish] to validate the new settings. Depending on the model, the printer may have to be switched off and on again.
Explorer version 4.0 as an example. Configure the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway for the network card. Launch the Web browser, enter the IP Address of the network interface card in [Address (Location/ Position)] and press the [Enter] key. The Printer Status screen is displayed.
