NETQue

Reference Numbers

It is important that you make a note of the printer server’s unique ethernet address (known as the Media Access Control or MAC address) and its serial number. The figure below shows the locations of these numbers.

Figure 2-14: Location of Reference Numbers

Although the following information is clearly printed on the unit, we suggest you enter the numbers here for later reference.

Ethernet (MAC) Address: 00-00-C9- ____ ____-____ ____-____ ____

Serial Number: ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____

Next, enter the default printer server name. This name begins with a three digit prefix unique to the type of printer server. The remaining digits are taken from the last six characters of the MAC address, without the dashes. For example, the prefix for the NETQue is NQA. Combined with a MAC address such as 00-00-C9-00-02-E6, the default server name for the printer server will be NQA0002E6.

The default printer server name is very important and is always used when installing the printer server for the first time. Once a successful installation has been accomplished, the default printer server name can be changed.

Default Server Name: NQA _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____

NOTE: We suggest you use the default printer server name when installing the printer server for the first time.
