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, EtherTalk and NetBEUI.
Configuration Utility Available Utilities You can configure the print server by using one of the following methods: Utility Features System requirements Quick Setup Configure the print server Windows95/98/Me/NT4.0/ easily and simply without 2000/XP (TCP/IP protocol installing any software should be installed). packages into your system.

Select the language. admgr_qsetbut.gif sel_lang.gif Select Quick Setup. sel_quicksetup.gif Follow the on-screen instructions. 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.
Using a Web Browser If the print server is connected to the network using TCP/IP, its settings and the printer menu settings can be configured using a Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 4.0 and higher, or Netscape Navigator version 4.0 and higher. No guarantees are offered for other browsers.
To ensure correct operation, follow the procedure below for the appropriate network browser. Microsoft Internet Explorer Select [Internet Options] in the [Tools] menu. Click on the [General] tab and click [Settings] in [Temporary Internet files]. Select [Every visit to the page] in [Check for newer versions of stored programs].

After the new values are transmitted to the network card, the following screen is displayed. If a different message is displayed, check the settings. ENTERPASSWORD.bmp For example: For Ethernet address 00:80:92:01:00:D2, a default password is [0100D2]. The Ethernet address (MAC address) is displayed during the self-diagnostic test.
Standard Setup Using AdminManager AdminManager is a powerful Microsoft Windows-based utility to configure all print server functions by using a graphical user interface. Configuration requires a PC with Windows 95/98/Me, Windows 2000 Advanced Server/Professional or Windows NT Server 4.0/ Workstation 4.0, Windows XP running TCP/IP. This utility can only be used on a PC that can be connected to the network with TCP/IP and must be used on a PC that is located in the same segment as the printer.

The Windows XP installation CD-ROM may be required. Follow the remaining dialogue box prompts. Once the protocol has been installed and configured in Windows, the next step is to configure the TCP/IP parameters in the network printer. OkiLAN 8300e Network User’s Guide Microsoft Windows - 68...
Network Printer IP Address Configuration Use the Admin/Manager Standard Set-up Utility to configure the IP Address. Connect the printer to the network and turn on. Place the CD provided with your printer in the CD-ROM drive. The set-up utility starts automatically. If the set-up utility does not start, double-click on setup.exe in the Windows folder of the CD-ROM.
Windows 95/98/Me When printing using TCP/IP, the Oki LPR utility is the only option to use. The following procedure should be used. When installing the driver, ensure it is installed as a local printer and not a network printer. Ensure the appropriate printer driver has been installed in Windows.

UNIX Overview The OkiLAN print server supports many protocols such as LPD, FTP, TELNET, SNMP and IPP, and works within the UNIX environment. To use the network card within the UNIX environment, the following steps are required: Configuration Network Interface card setting The first step in installing the network card under UNIX is to set up the IP address, Subnet Mask and Gateway.
Page 84
Example: for IP address 172.68.20.127 and network card address 00:80:92:01:00:D2 # arp –s 172.168.20.127 00:80:92:01:00:D2 temp The Ethernet address (MAC address) 00:80:92:01:00:D2 in the above example can be determined from the network card self-diagnostic test which can be printed by pressing the push-button on the network card for two seconds and then releasing it.

® ® Apple Macintosh Overview The OkiLAN print server supports the Apple Macintosh AppleTalk environment. This guide is for administrators and it should be read in conjunction with the relevant Macintosh manual. The latest Macintosh service packs should be installed. Supported Versions Macintosh operating systems OS 9.1 and 9.2x are supported.
Installation Install the Driver Place the CD, supplied with your printer, in the CD-ROM drive. Double-click the CD icon that appears on the desktop. Double-click the MAC folder (OS9 or OSX), click Continue. Double-click the Printer Installer icon. Installer displays with the driver selected. Select any utilities you want to install.
Troubleshooting The network addresses used in this manual are shown for example only. Network addresses used in your installation must be generated from your own network. Self-Diagnostic Test Printer does not print. Ensure the printer emulation is set to PS (if available) or Automatic.
Change the cable and try again. Run the Self-diagnostic test. Check the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway are correct. Check that the TCP/IP protocol is set to Enable. Reset the network interface card to factory default settings. If DHCP, BOOTP and RARP are not used, ensure they have been set to Disable.
EtherTalk Not identified by the Chooser and the Setup Utility. Turn the printer off and on again. Check the network cable is correctly connected. Change the cable and try again. If the network resides in a Zone, check the correct Zone name is selected in the Chooser.
Page 106
Check the NetBEUI protocol is set to Enable. Check the factory setting of the workgroup name is PrintServer and the computer name is ML+ the last six digits of the MAC address. Check the computer name of the NIC is different from the computer name on the network.
