1.2.2 Eagle Network settings

You will need to choose an IP Address for your Eagle. If you are using a direct connection to your PC, then we recommend that you use the default address of 192.168.2.3. If your Eagle already has this address, then you are ready to go to 1.2.3. To check your Eagle’s current IP address, press Ctrl-W on the Eagle’s handheld terminal to bring up the network screen (see figure 1.2.1).

IP: 192 . 168 . 2 . 3

TPC Port: 4000

If you are connecting to more that one Eagle, then you will need to give a different address to each Eagle. Choose numbers with the last digit close to each other. For example, Eagle 1: 192.168.2.3, Eagle 2: 192.168.2.4, Eagle 3: 192.168.2.5, etc.

Finally, if you are connecting to a PC that is already a part of a local office network, then you will need to check with your network administrator to find an available IP address for your Eagle printer that fits into your existing network IP scheme.

Once you choose an IP address for your Eagle, you will need to change the Eagle to the new address, if necessary, by following these steps:

1.Press Ctrl-W to jump to the network screen (see figure 1.2.1).

2.Press EDIT (F4) twice to bring up a blinking block cursor beside the IP address.

3.Press Ctrl-X to clear the existing address.

4.Type the IP address you want to change to. You must supply the period between numbers.

5.Press ENTER once.

6.Press “Y” (yes) to confirm.

7.Press ENTER again.

The new IP address is saved automatically to the Eagle and will remain even after the power to the Eagle is turned off.
