TCP/IP

This chapter covers configuration of the LevelOne Printer Server in a TCP/IP environment.

Overview

•The following procedure can NOT be used with model EPS-3001TU. For this model, the BiAdmin utility program should be used for configuration. See Chapter 4 for details on installing and using BiAdmin.

•If using TCP/IP in a Peer-to-peer printing environment, refer to Chapter 10 - Windows Peer-to-peer.

•This chapter covers configuration of the LevelOne Printer Server only. For host configuration, refer to Chapter 8 - Unix or Chapter 9 - Windows NT Server.

Web Browser Configuration

100BaseT LevelOne Printer Server models incorporate a HTTP server. This allows you to connect to the LevelOne Printer Server and configure it using your Web Browser. Most browsers should work, provided they support tables and forms.

Preparation

Because it supports dynamic IP Address allocation using DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP, the LevelOne Printer Server ships with an IP Address of 0.0.0.0. This is NOT a valid IP Address.

Therefore, you must do ONE of the following:

•Check your DCHP server (if you have one), and determine the IP Address allocated to the LevelOne Printer Server.

•Use BiAdmin or another LevelOne Printer Server utility to allocate a valid IP Address to the LevelOne Printer Server.

•Add an entry to the arp table to associate the hardware address of the LevelOne Printer Server with the desired IP address, as follows:

arp	-s	IP_Address	00:c0:02:xx:xx:xx	(Unix)
arp	-s	IP_Address	00-c0-02-xx-xx-xx	(Windows)

Where:

IP_Address is the IP Address you wish to assign to the LevelOne Printer Server 00:c0:02:xx:xx:xx is the hardware address of the LevelOne Printer Server.

Example (Unix):

arp -s 192.168.0.21 00:c0:02:12:34:56

Example (Windows):

arp -s 192.168.0.21 00-c0-02-12-34-56

The Default Server Name and the Hardware Address of the LevelOne Printer Server are shown on a sticker on the base of the device.
