Setting the IP Address Using EpsonNet WinAssist/ MacAssist

After you have installed TCP/IP, you need to set the IP address for the interface card.

Note:

The interface card is set to the default IP address "192.168.192.168". This private IP address may cause conflicts on your network. To prevent this, you must confirm that the same IP address does not exist on the network before connecting the interface card to the network. If it does, turn off the device which has the same IP address, then change the default IP address of the interface card. Be sure to ask your network administrator for the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.

To set the IP address for OS/2 and UNIX, use the arp/ping command. For more information, see “Setting the IP Address Using arp/ping Commands” on page 2-17.

Follow the steps below to set the IP address. The example screens are from the Windows 95 operating system using EpsonNet WinAssist. Other systems differ in appearance, however the instructions are the same, except as noted.

1.Confirm that the necessary protocols are installed in the computer.

If you are using Windows 98/95 or Windows NT, TCP/IP must be installed. If you are using Macintosh, AppleTalk must be installed.

2.Turn on the printer with the interface card.
