6.Wait about five minutes. The Network Interface Board should recycle and produce a status sheet showing the IP parameters you have just entered.

7.Pull down Admin menu to Verify. You should get a message back stating that the Unit is Active. If you do not get this message, verify that TCP/IP is enabled on the status sheet.

8.When you get a response that your unit is active, you should be able to ping and Telnet to the Network Interface Board.

7.1.2.5Setting up IP and lpr Parameters

The Network Interface Board provides for a setup connection via the standard Telnet port. To be able to make changes to a unit at factory default settings, you must logon as sysadm. The default password is also "sysadm". (This password can be changed from the Telnet utility.) See 7.6 Running Telnet, for instructions on using Telnet.

1.Telnet to the Network Interface Board (the login and password are both "sysadm").

2.Turn off the protocols that you are not utilizing (option 3).

3.Setup the subnet mask and default gateway for the Network Interface Board if applicable (option 1).

4.Exit, Save, and Reset the Network Interface Board.

You can also use the HTML pages accessible via MAP or a Web Browser to set up lpr. The password to change parameters with the HTML pages is the same as the Telnet password.

7.1.2.6Setting up lpr on the Workstation

Follow the instructions for the lpr spooler of your choice to set up the lpr queue on the workstations. Enter PORT1 for the Remote Printer Name.

Note: PORT1 must be entered in capital letters.

7.1.3Windows NT Instructions

Windows NT (version 3.5 or higher) does come with TCP/IP and lpr capabilities, although these must be installed when the unit is configured. You must install the TCP/IP Protocol, Simple TCP/IP Services, and Microsoft TCP/IP Printing prior to entering the network printer on the workstation.

Note: Once you have lpr installed on a Windows NT workstation and have allowed printer sharing, other workstations may use the printer through the Microsoft Windows Network without having to have separate lpr queues installed on each workstation. If you wish to use BOOTPL32, you will need the BOOTPL32.exe file. This file is on the MAP directory of the CD-ROM supplied with the Network Interface Board.

7.1.3.1Setting Up the Network Interface Board

The Network Interface Board must be given an IP address and routing information to be used with TCP/IP. This can be done with either the ARP procedure or the BOOTPL32 program.

Power-up the printer. Keep the status sheet handy for the Ethernet (MAC) address. It should show that TCP/IP is enabled but that the Protocol address is not configured.
