3 Windows - FastManage ConÞguration Utilities

Windows FastManage Utilities: FastManage Utilities allow you to conÞgure the NIC remotely from Windows platforms. They provide complete control over all network protocols and related parameters via a graphical user interface.

Alternate Method: You can also use Telnet to conÞgure and troubleshoot the NIC from any platform that supports TCP/IP communications. Refer to Appendix A for information on using Telnet.

Initial NIC check and printer setup using Win 95/NT Network Neighborhood: If you have network browsing capabilities and you select Workgroup, you should be able to see the printer/NIC initially advertising itself as KDxxxxxx, where ÒxxxxxxÓ is consistent with the last six digits of the Ethernet address for the NIC. This is just an initial check that the NIC is functioning on your network. You must still use conÞguration utilities to conÞgure non-default network parameters. If you are comfortable with NIC conÞguration defaults, then you could select the ÒKDxxxxxxÓ printer/ NIC. Windows will prompt you to install a print driver, if necessary. After installing an appropriate printer driver, you will be able to select the printer within an application ÒPrintÓ window and and print to that printer.
