Nic Verification - Printronix Network Interface Card User Manual

NIC Verification

Before performing the verification, you must connect the NIC card
to the network.
1. Print an E-NET test page (following the steps on page 34) to
verify the settings you made.
2. Verify the Netmask is correct in two locations on the E-NET test
page:
•
NETWORK INTERFACES
•
TCP/IP ROUTING TABLE
The Netmask must be the same in both locations. For example,
if the Netmask is listed as 255.255.255.0 in NETWORK
INTERFACES and is listed as 255.255.255.255 in the TCP/IP
ROUTING TABLE, they do not match and you must correct it
for the Gateway. Also, if a Gateway Address was entered,
verify that " xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is alive" is printed under the Default
Gateway Ping Test, where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the Gateway
Address. If a Gateway Address was not entered, the Default
Gateway Ping test is not required and will not display on the
page.
If the Netmask does not match, complete the following steps:
a. Place the printer offline.
b. Using the front panel, modify the Gateway value to 0.0.0.0.
(non-configured).
c. Place the printer online and wait for the "E-NET READY"
message to display.
d. Place the printer offline and enter the Gateway Address
you desire.
e. Place the printer online and wait for the "E-NET READY"
message. This saves the new Gateway Address.
Your NIC is now configured and connected to your network.
