Chapter 6 TCP/IP LineJet Print Server Configuration

Assign TCP/IP Values

Method 1: Using the Printer Control Panel

All of the basic TCP/IP values can easily be set and stored in the LineJet Print Server via the printer front panel under the ETHERNET PARAMS menu. Refer to “Configuration Using The Printer Control Panel” on page 62 for detailed instructions.

Set the IP Address, Subnet Mask or Gateway Values, then press the ON LINE key to store those values in the LineJet Print Server. These steps do not require the printer to be connected to your network.

After setting the TCP/IP values, connect the printer to the designated hub or switch port via UTP cable. With the LineJet printer powered on, use a ping to the assigned IP Address for the LineJet Print Server:

•Windows 95/98/NT, OS/2. Open a DOS shell (or OS/2 window) and type: ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx using the IP value you assigned above.

•AS/400. At a command prompt, type:

ping ‘xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx’ (IP address must be in single quotes).

•Unix. At a terminal session command prompt, type: ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.

Note	If you made a hosts table alias name entry (or set up DNS) you can ping the
	alias instead of having to remember the actual IP Address. Similarly, the
	alias can be substituted for the URL in telnet sessions or Web browser
	sessions.
	If you receive a “reply received from…” message, then proceed. If you get a
	“destination unreachable” message or “no reply from...” message, recheck
	values and cables you have used.
	Once you have established a positive ping response, you may wish to use a
	browser to change or set items (such as the workgroup name to match that of
	your client network), or to change other values or names or check printer
	status. To do this, open your browser. In the URL line, enter the IP Address of
	the LineJet Print Server and press ENTER. When the LineJet Web Page
	displays, click on “Configuration.” When prompted for a user name and ID,
	enter root and press ENTER. Press ENTER again for a blank password. You
	may now change the workgroup name and other values.
	If your web browser is set to use a proxy (or you don’t know), use a telnet
	command session order to finish your setup using store and set commands
	(refer to Chapter 12, “Commands”).
	Use the following example of a telnet session to change the Windows
	workgroup name in the LineJet Print Server from “workgroup” (the default) to
	“Acme.”
