Tcp/Ip Setup In Windows For Workgroups - NEC Super Script 4400 Maintenance Manual

TCP/IP Setup in
Windows for Workgroups
Accessing the 4400 network printer from Windows for Workgroups is supported in Microsof Shared printing or
over a NetWare network.
First, Install the TCP/IP Protocol
You must obtain from Microsoft a special TCP/IP protocol stack that is compatible with Windows for Workgroups.
Follow the instructions provided with that utility to
install it.
Second, Assign the IP Address and Other TCP/IP Parameters to the NIC
Here we provide instructions for using BOOTP Lite to set the IP address manually. You can also use ARP/ping
commands if you prefer.
note:
For information about using the ARP command to set the IP address, see page xx.
1. Launch BOOTP Lite.
a. Insert the 4400 Network Options CD.
b. In the Windows Program Manager window, select Run from the File menu.
c. Type <Drive>:\BOOTP\BOOTPL16.EXE and click OK to launch the utility.
note:
The BOOTPL16.EXE program will work with a 16 Bit TCP/IP Stack only.
2. Select Configure from the Admin menu.
a. Enter the IP address to assign to the NIC.
b. Enter the subnet mask. If you are unsure of the correct subnet mask, and the first number in the NIC's
address is from 192 to 254, then use 255.255.255.0 as the subnet mask.
c. Enter the default gateway address (if applicable) or leave blank.
d. Enter the hardware address of the NIC. This address is listed on the Network Settings page under
Network Address, for example, 00:40:af:c9:f0:d8. Enter it exactly as it appears on the Network
Settings page.
3. Click on Go to send the new settings to the NIC.
You will get a message that the program is verifying, and then it will tell you whether the printer is active or
not. Wait for about two minutes for the printer and NIC to reset. The Network Settings page should report the
newly entered IP information.
4. Verify Operation
Start an MS-DOS session. At the command prompt enter: ping <IP address of NIC>
(continue until you get a reply). If you are getting a timeout, verify that TCP/IP is enabled on the Network
Settings page. If the Network Settings page does not show the IP information, then repeat the above
procedures.
