Setup Guide

Note:

If you don’t know what IP address to use for the computer or the Ethernet card, ask your network administrator. Or, follow the instructions on page 19.

Assigning the IP Address

For a Windows 95 peer-to-peer network you need to set the card’s IP address. Make sure the Ethernet card and printer are on the same segment of the network as the computer you are using to configure the card. Also, find out the IP address for the computer and the IP address for the Ethernet card. Then, follow these steps:

1.Find the hardware address (node number) for the Ethernet card in your printer. Refer to the status sheet to determine this number (see page 8).

2.Double-click the MS-DOS Prompt icon to open a DOS window.

3.Set up the routing table, using the following command:

ping <IP address>

for example: ping 127.0.1.1

4.Add an entry in the ARP table that assigns an IP address to the hardware address of the Ethernet card. Use the following command:

arp -s <IP address> <hardware address>

for example:

arp -s 127.0.1.200 00-00-48-92-BD-9A

5.Start a continuous "ping" to the card, using the following command with the card IP address:

ping <IP address>

for example: ping 127.0.1.200

You see a message similar to the following:

Reply from 127.0.1.200: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=30

Reply from 127.0.1.200: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=30

Reply from 127.0.1.200: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=30

Reply from 127.0.1.200: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=30

This shows that the Ethernet card is set up for TCP/IP correctly.
