Caution

When a change is made from the control panel, the NIC is re-

 

initialized. The messages “E-NET RESET” and “E-NET INIT” display

 

on the control panel. This process takes several minutes. Make sure

 

not to shut the printer off or make further changes to the NIC settings

 

during this initialization period to prevent a loss of NIC configuration

 

information. When the initialization is complete, the message

 

“E-NET READY” will display.

 

 

 

 

Configuration Alternatives

 

 

 

 

Besides the HTML forms and software provided, the NIC internal command

 

shell, npsh, can also be reached using the following methods.

 

The Printronix Printer Manager (PPM)

 

The PPM utility is a versatile and dynamic program. It allows you to remotely

 

organize all the printers in your office in a single database; download software

 

and printer settings from a host computer with a single mouse click; and use a

 

virtual operator's panel to configure printers in the same room or on the other

 

side of the world.

 

Telnet

 

A TCP/IP command that helps configure NIC settings remotely. A TCP/IP

 

host starts a Telnet session with the print server and logs in to the device

 

command shell to alter and view settings.

 

Example:

 

telnet 192.75.11.9
