YSTEM ETUP Before it can be used, the internet/print multiple server has some variables that need to be properly set. This chapter describes how to change default IP settings and then how to use Telnet or a web browser to manipulate the internet/print multiple server. A descrip- tion of the minimum setup required to operate is also provided.
Internet/Print Multiple Server User’s Guide Setting IP Addresses The internet/print multiple server comes with a default IP address and subnet mask assigned. If you would prefer not to use the inter- net/print multiple server’s default IP address, it will be necessary for you to change that a ddress using the IS Admin program included with the device.
Page 31
Under TCP/IP (many Windows 3.1 and 3.11 users), the system IP and subnet mask are configured under “Setup” in the TCP manager. In Windows 95, users must g o to the Control Panel and Network settings; Under Network settings, you must modify the TCP/IP properties for the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.
Internet/Print Multiple Server User’s Guide We recommend that you make a note of each device’s IP address for reference during troubleshooting or when adding new stations or de- vices. Using In-Band Telnet to Configure the Server Once your PC is configured with an IP address on the same subnet as the server, start your Telnet program and enter the IP address assigned to the server when you are prompted for a host address.
fix, followed by the IP address assigned to the server, in the address window. You should immediately see the internet/print multiple server web browser interface menu. Note that the internet/print multiple server IP can be bookmarked for future access so that it doesn’t need to be entered each time.
Internet/Print Multiple Server User’s Guide The following variables need to be configured for the internet/print multiple server to operate correctly (the first is a System variable, the others are WAN port variables): DNS IP Address Domain Name Service (DNS) servers are used on the internet to maintain information about which Uniform Resource Locator (URL) name relates to which internet IP address.

DHCP Server Variables The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) allows servers and d evices like the internet/print multiple server to dynamically assign IP addresses to network devices. Dynamic IP assignment alleviates the need for the network administrator to maintain and monitor IP address assignments and simplifies IP use because IP address are automatically and dynamically assigned when a station powers-on.
Internet/Print Multiple Server User’s Guide IP Address Range -> Start The range of IP addresses available to the internet/print multiple server for DHCP allocation is set using two variables. This is the first. Any IP address within the three reserved IP Options: ranges.
Default Value: 1440 (24 hours) Description: Dynamically assigned addresses can be peri- odically “refreshed” by a DHCP server. The IP Lease Time variable allows you to set that time limit. If a time is entered in this variable, each dynamically assigned address will be re- cycled at the end of the lease time.
Internet/Print Multiple Server User’s Guide externally-accessible servers for FTP and HTTP. “Virtual Servers” in this context are “virtual” because they don’t have their own public domain IP addresses in the typical internet fashion. Rather, their local IP address, with an access port number, is listed in a table in- side the internet/print multiple server.
192.168.100.101 Note: The port numbers in the above example are those commonly used for Telnet, FTP, and web servers respectively, but the port num- ber should correspond to that assigned when the server is setup. System Monitoring The internet/print multiple server provides a display function which shows the current setting and operational status of all of its func- tions.
Internet/Print Multiple Server User’s Guide Displays a table of DHCP servers with the following infor- mation: IP Address, MAC Address, and Lease Time.
