Configuration Checklist

NOTE: All of the following configuration steps carried out on the iSeries may require “create” or “change” authority.

1.If you have not already done so, set up the printer and install the Ethernet Interface. See “Configuration Using The Control Panel” on page 53.

2.Using the printer control panel, set up the printer for IPDS by setting the parameters and values shown in Table 10.

Table 10. Control Panel Settings

Menu	Item	Setting
C/T PORT	Port Type	Twinax
TWINAX	IPDS Emulation	I4234-12
SETUP
4234-12

3.Set TCP/IP addresses for the printer, such as an IP Address, Gateway Address, or Subnet Mask. See “Configuration Tools” on page 52.

4.If the printer and iSeries are not on the same LAN segment, verify there is a route defined in the TCP/IP route list. If necessary, use the ADDTCPRTE command to create a route definition. You need this if your printer is somewhere other than on a local segment.

5.You need the IP address of the Ethernet Interface to configure the Ethernet Interface.
