Compaq 5531, 5532, 5525B user manual Computer-aided Configuration with ezsetup or npconfig

Computer-aided Configuration with ezsetup or npconfig

When the Internal Ethernet Adapter is initially installed on a TCP/IP network, you are unable to communicate with it since its network parameters are not initialized. During configuration, the following parameters are initialized and saved in EEPROM:

•IP address (mandatory)

•netmask or sub-netmask (mandatory)

•root user password (recommended for security)

•guest user password (recommended for security)

Initializing these parameters permits configuration of all remaining settings though any one of the following ways:

•computer-aided configuration with ezsetup or npconfig

•configuration through the network with RARP

•configuration through the network with BOOTP

•configuration through the network with ARP

Once you have completed any one of these methods, you will see the STAT LED flashing once per second. This means the Internal Ethernet Adapter is configured and recognizable on the network. At this point, you can then configure a host for printing by continuing with “Host Configuration” on page 156. This completes your entire print setup, unless you choose to enhance it.

Computer-aided Configuration with ezsetup or npconfig

NOTE: If you choose computer-aided configuration, you must log on to your system as root or superuser and use the host software diskette supplied with your Internal Ethernet Adapter. If the software is not provided, or you need a different medium, contact your vendor.

To configure the Internal Ethernet Adapter with the aid of a script you must perform the following steps:

1.Insert the host software into the drive.

2.Login as root user.

3.cd to a directory with at least three megabytes of free space.
