GL-1010 Administrator’s Guide 9
Decide a Device Naming Convention
DEVICE NAME
Decide a unique name for the device (i.e., the host name). By
default, the Microsoft Computer Name will be set to GL<MAC
Address>, where MAC Address is the unique media access
control of the NIC installed in the controller. However, you can
rename the device to retain consistency within your network,
providing the device name you choose is unique. (Minimum 1,
maximum 15 alphanumeric characters.)
The device name is required for both Microsoft and Macintosh
printing, as well as for controller software updates.
WORKGROUP NAME
You cannot assign the GL-1010 to a Microsoft Domain; it can
only be assigned to a workgroup. The workgroup name is
required for both Microsoft printing and controller software
updates. By default, the workgroup name is WORKGROUP,
however you can change it to retain consistency within your
network. (Minimum 1, maximum 15 alphanumeric characters.)
Analyze the default GL-1010 Network Settings
The following table summarizes the default controller settings.
Determine whether you will need to adjust these settings, which
you can do either locally from the copier’s LCD Touch Screen or
remotely using TopAccess.
Default Controller Settings
Property Default Setting Comments
TCP/IP (Ethernet) Enabled Frame Type set to Ethernet II.
TCP/IP

Enabled Frame Type set to Token Ring SNAP.
IP Addressing DHCP If you do not want to take advantage of
your network’s DHCP services, you
need to change IP Addressing to
Manual and enter the IP Address either
locally or remotely.
