Windows Ethernet Interface Configuration

Windows Ethernet Interface Configuration
The IP address and subnet mask are mandatory TCP/IP settings
and are needed before the print server can be detected on the
network. There are also additional optional settings. This section
offers alternative methods for configuring your Ethernet Interface in
a Windows environment and describes some of the more common
optional settings available.

Mandatory

Since TCP/IP is used for Windows printing, the Ethernet Interface
must be configured with a minimum of an IP address and subnet
mask before it can be seen on the network.

Optional

Additional settings, like routing entries, can be configured. This
allows communication across subnets when no other router exists.
Configuration of the Ethernet Interface can be done from the printer
control panel (Smart only), Web browser (Smart only), host
commands, or other IBM utility software (e.g. 4400 Ethernet Utility).
To configure these options, see "Configuration Tools" on page 32.

Configuration Using ARP

To configure the Ethernet Interface with its IP settings using a
manual arp command:
1. Log on to a Windows station with TCP/IP loaded and located
2. Find the Ethernet address for the Ethernet Interface on the
74
on the same subnet as the Ethernet Interface.
configuration printout. It must be entered as part of this
procedure. This step is "Smart only" for a basic print test page.
