TCP/IP Configuration Chapter 6
This chapter explains how to configure the NIC and your network for
use with TCP/IP communication in v arious en vironments. Independent
setup and installation procedures are provided for Windows systems
and for most popular UNIX systems. The NIC TCP/IP capability will
also operate with lpr spoolers on other systems, and with spooler/
supervisor capabilities that communicate raw print jobs to the Print
Server TCP/IP Port. This port number defaults to 10001, but may be
changed to any desired number using the Telnet utility, SNMP, or the
HTML pages accessible via MAP or a Web Browser. Section 6.3
Running Telnet, describes the interactive setup capability accessible
through the Telnet utility on any TCP/IP platform, and is equally
applicable to Windows, UNIX, and other TCP/IP environments. The
use of MAP or a Web Browser to access Web pages in the NIC is
described in Chapter 3.

6.1 Installation in a Windo ws Envir onment

The se veral versions and v ariations of Microsoft W indo ws may be used
on a NetWare and/or TCP/IP networks, as well as in a nati v e Microsoft
W indo ws network. This flexibility allo ws v arious options for setting up
the network printing system even though this NIC does not support
NetBEUI. If the Windows workstations are connected to a NetWare
network, conf igure the printer interfaces for NetWare, and use standard
Window s/NetWare utilities to pro vide access to the printer. If NetWare
is not to be used, the users may access the printer using TCP/IP.
Window s 95 and Windows NT4.0 users can also use the NIC Peer-to-
Peer capability as described in Chapter 3. The following sections
describe installation using TCP/IP under Windows for Workgroups,
Windows 95, and Windows NT.
