Local network settings

You may connect your multifunction terminal to an Ethernet or a wireless network.

However, practical knowledge of your computer configuration is required to set up a network.

Selecting the type of your local network

This parameter allows you to configure your terminal accordingly to the type of network you will install it in.

-WLAN if using a wireless network

-LAN ETHERNET if using a wired network

2Confirm with OK.

Ethernet network settings (Model B2540)

Automatic configuration

We recommend that you carry out a manual configuration of your terminal. The automatic configuration of the local network settings may be considered, if your local network features a DHCP or BOOTP server that can dynamically assign addresses to the peripheral devices present on the LAN.

To automatically configure the local network settings:

271 - SETUP/LAN ETHER/IP CONFIG.

1Choose Automatic and press OK to confirm. The terminal scans the local network for a DHCP or BOOTP server that can assign it its settings dynamically (the message Self-conf is displayed).

2Once the message Self-conf has disappeared, check for the IP Address, Sub-network mask and Gateway address. If these are missing, you should carry out a manual configuration (see below).

Manual configuration

To configure your terminal manually, you should obtain the usual information used to set a peripheral device (IP address, sub-network mask, network and gateway address).

To configure the local network setting manually:

271 - SETUP/LAN ETHER/IP CONFIG.

1Choose Manual and press OK to confirm.

IEEE Address (or Ethernet address) or MAC address

275 - SETUP/LAN ETHER/IEEE ADDRESS

The Ethernet card of your terminal already has an unmodifiable, yet consultable, IEEE address.

NetBIOS names

These names, which can be used with the network options, are used to identify your terminal machine from a PC connected to a local network (for instance with the name "IMP-NETWORK-1").

276 - SETUP/LAN ETHER/NETBIOS 1

277 - SETUP/LAN ETHER/NETBIOS 2

1Enter the selected name (15 characters max) and press OK to confirm.

Serveurs de nom

The WINS1 and WINS2 servers, used with the network options, allow access to terminals on other sub-networks by means of their NetBIOS name.

278 - SETUP/LAN ETHER/NETBIOS 1

279 - SETUP/LAN ETHER/NETBIOS 1

1Enter the IP address of each server, then validate with OK.

If the terminal is set up in Automatic configuration mode (menu 271), these addresses can be filled in automatically by certain DHCP servers.
