Step 4: Configure the NIC from the desired platform

Introduction

Step 4: Configure the NIC from the desired platform

With the exception of TCP/IP, it is not necessary to reconfigure the NIC unless its default parameters are unacceptable. We recommend that you verify that the printer functions on your network before you modify existing NIC parameters.

The use of TCP/IP requires only that you enter an appropriate IP address at the printer’s display panel or by using one of the NIC’s configuration utilities.

In Macintosh environments, you may wish to change the printer’s default name (the NIC’s unique Ethernet hardware address) to a name that is more recognizable on your network.

NIC Configuration Utilities:

See Appendix A for information on using the following utilities to configure the NIC.

configuring NIC parameters such as the TCP/IP Address from the printer’s display panel.

configuring the NIC from Windows platforms using a Web browser, XAdmin, or Telnet.

configuring the NIC from Macintosh platforms using a Web browser or Telnet. You may be able to use the LaserWriter utilities provided on Macintosh systems to modify the printer’s name over AppleTalk name and its zone.

configuring the NIC from Unix workstations using a Web browser or Telnet.

using the serial interface on the NIC faceplate for configuration and troubleshooting.

Step 5: Configure the print servers

Determine if server print queues will be used, and configure the appropriate Novell or NT servers.

Step 6: Configure the printer on the workstations.

Follow the appropriate steps to add a printer to each workstation that will send jobs to the printer. Refer to the platform specific chapters to configure the workstations.
