Kodak 10/100 NIC Introduction and Configuration

1.5 Upgrading from a Kodak 10Mbit NIC

The Kodak 10/100 Mbit NIC may be used to upgrade any Kodak printers that are currently using a Kodak 10Mbit NIC with a ÒMIL-3007EKÒsticker on the bottom of the NIC.

Note: This manual is applicable only to Kodak printers using this Kodak

10/100 NIC upgrade relative to NIC conÞguration methods.

1.6 Kodak 10/100 NIC Features

The NIC is an autodetecting 10 or 100 Mbps, network interface card that allows users to connect directly to a Kodak printer or proofer on Ethernet networks using 10BaseT or 100BaseT network media.

The NIC connects printers directly to Ethernet networks utilizing IPX, EtherTalk, TCP/IP and/or NetBios/Netbeui protocols in support of Novell NetWare 3.x, Netware 4.x, Netware NDS, IBM OS/2, MS-DOS, Windows 3.x, Windows 95, Windows NT 3.51, Windows NT 4.0, Macintosh and Unix environments. In general, any system that supports the NIC protocols should be able to use this NIC to print to Kodak printers.

1.6.1Hardware Features

¥NIC motherboard, with Ethernet controller and custom shared DMA interface to Kodak printer. The NIC connects directly to Ethernet networks via an RJ-45 connector.

¥CPU: An Intel 80186 processor, with a 16 MHz clock.

¥1 MByte of memory via Flash EPROMs: 2 Flash EPROMs are 29F040 devices. Each EPROM is 4 Mbits and arranged in 2 × 256k × 8 format. Firmware upgrades of the ßash EPROMs can be done via network connections.

¥MAC chipset: Ethernet controller is 10/100 Mbps, with SRAM for data buffering, and its own memory management.10 Mbit vs. 100 Mbit autosensing accommodates network speed capabilities.

¥2 switches on the NIC faceplate provide Normal, Normal + Telnet, and NIC conÞguration test page modes of NIC operation.

¥Green and Yellow LEDs indicate network connectivity and trafÞc.
