Windows NT Using TCP/IP Protocol
If you will operate your Silentwriter with a
Windows NT server/workstation, you may use either TCP/IP or DLC network protocols. Follow these steps to connect your Silentwriter to a network using TCP/IP network protocol. To connect your Silentwriter to a network using DLC protocol, see page
The following steps summarize how to connect your Silentwriter.
1.Install the software.
2.Identify the printer.

Before you begin you will need to know the IP address, subnet mask, printer name, and default gateway for your workstation. Your system administrator will know this information.
The first time you set up the Silentwriter the IP address and subnet mask will have factory default values of
11.22.33.44and 255.0.0.0 respectively. To change those values see “Changing TCP/IP IP Address” and “Changing TCP/IP Subnet Mask” on page
