4: TCP/IP Configuration

The EZWebCon configuration software is the easiest way to configure the EPS. The fol-
lowing sections cover IP address configuration and print configuration methods for TCP/
IP hosts.

4.1 Setting the IP Address

The EPS IP address must be configured before any TCP/IP functionality is available. Use
one of the following methods to set the IP address: EZWebCon; a directed Ping packet;
a BOOTP, DHCP, or RARP reply; or commands entered via the command line interface.

4.1.1 Using EZWebCon

Use the following steps to assign an IP address using the EZWebCon Expert Shell.
1
From the Action menu, select Assign IP Address.
2
Enter or change the IP-related settings:
A
For Ethernet Address, enter the number that appears on the bottom label of
your EPS.
B For IP Address, enter the desired IP address to use for this EPS.
C For Subnet Mask, change the values provided only if you wish to use a mask
other than the default. The default value should be correct in most cases.
D
For Loadhost, enter the IP address of the loadhost where you intend to store
your operating code and SDK files (if used).
3
Click OK.
4
Reboot the EPS. EZWebCon will let you know whether the configuration was
successful.
Note: If you have an older version of EZWebCon, refer to the Readme that
was included with it.

4.1.2 Using a Directed Ping Packet

The ARP/ping method is available under UNIX and Windows-based systems. If the EPS
has no IP address, it will set its address from the first directed IP packet it receives.
