ETHERNET PARAMS Submenus

NetBIOS Protocol

•
Enable (the default). The NIC will respond to the NetBIOS protocol.
•
Disable. The NIC does not recognize the NetBIOS protocol.

ASCII Data Port

This option allows you to set the port number for ASCII print jobs. The data
port number needs to match your host system setting.
The range is 0 - 65535, and the factory default is 9100.
IPDS Data Port (IPDS emulation only)
This option allows you to set the port number for IPDS print jobs.
The range is 0 - 65536, and the factory default is 5001.

Keep Alive Timer

This is the time that the Keep Alive Timer will run. Keep in mind that with the
Keep Alive Timer on, the tcp connection will stay connected even after the
print job has terminated.
The range is 2-10 minutes, and the factory default is 3 minutes.

Ethernet Speed

This menu appears only if a 10/100Base-T Network Interface Card (NIC) is
installed.
The Ethernet Speed menu has five different speed modes to allow
compatibility with different systems and networks:
•
Auto Select (the default). Tells the 10/100Base-T NIC to perform an auto
detection scheme and configure itself to be 10 Half Duplex, 10 Full
Duplex, 100 Half Duplex, or 100 Full Duplex.
•
10 Half Duplex. Tells the 10/100Base-T NIC to communicate at 10
Megabits per second using half duplex.
•
10 Full Duplex. Tells the 10/100Base-T NIC to communicate at 10
Megabits per second using full duplex.
•
100 Half Duplex. Tells the 10/100Base-T NIC to communicate at 100
Megabits per second using half duplex.
•
100 Full Duplex. Tells the 10/100Base-T NIC to communicate at 100
Megabits per second using full duplex.
