Configuration Using The Control Panel

NOTE: Some network environments do not require any network settings to be configured on the Ethernet Interface. However, all network setups require configuration on the host end.

Configuration Using The Control Panel

You can set Ethernet Interface settings from the printer control panel.

CAUTION When the printer is first powered on, the message “ETHERNET INITIALIZING” displays on the control panel. To prevent a loss of Ethernet Interface configuration information, do not change the Ethernet Interface settings while this message is displayed. When the initialization is complete, the message “ETHERNET IS READY” displays, and you can safely change the Ethernet Interface settings from the control panel.

1.You can set any of three listed parameters from the printer control panel. These parameters are located in the Ethernet Address, Adapter Address, or Wireless Address menu. Arrange to have an IBM service technician install the Ethernet Interface card if it is not already installed; this is not a customer installable feature.

2.Power on the printer. The message “ETHERNET INITIALIZING” appears when the printer is powered on. Configuration can be done after the “ETHERNET IS READY” message appears.

3.Disable the Power Saver mode before starting this procedure to ensure that the configuration process runs uninterrupted. See the Infoprint 6500 User’s Guide for instructions.
