2.Choose TCP/IP Protocol... from the Configuration menu.

3.Configure the print server’s IP address, local network subnet mask, and default gateway.

4.Press OK, then choose Save Configuration from the Configuration menu (or press the Save Configuration toolbar button) to change the settings in the print server.

The print server will restart itself and will be available for lpd-protocol printing, as well as management using the telnet protocol and SNMP-based centralized network management.

Allowing SNMP-based Management

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) has become the standard protocol for managing large networks from central management consoles. HyperNet Fastprint network print servers support the SNMP Management Information Base known as MIB-II, which collects basic statistics on the print server’s basic TCP/IP and Ethernet networking operations.

SNMP (version 1) implements a rudimentary form of security by requiring that each request include a community name. A community name is an arbitrary string of characters used as a “password” to control access to the device. If the device receives a request with a community name it doesn’t recognize, it will trigger an authentication trap.

HyperNet Fastprint network print servers allow up to three different community names to be defined, and the access rights for each community can be separately set to either Read Only or Read/Write. You will need to coordinate these names with the community name settings you use in your network management system.

To set community names for your print server,

1.Choose TCP/IP Protocol... from the Configuration menu

2.Press the SNMP... button to open the SNMP Configuration window.
