1 Introduction Overview This chapter introduces you to the Ethernet Interface architecture and special features, as well as providing information on installation and configuration tools. What Is The Ethernet Interface? The Ethernet Interface allows you to attach printers on a local area network (LAN) rather than attaching them directly to a host system. Following simple configuration steps, these peripherals can be suisminugltaTnCePo/uIPs,lyNsehtaBrIeOdSwoitvherusTeCrPs /oIPn,tohreInPeXtw(Norokvewlhl®e)t.her you are Basic Ethernet A 10/100 BaseT Ethernet Interface card that provides Ethernet connectivity and basic print server functions. The following print server functional modifications are made for the for the Basic Ethernet. Basic Ethernet Communication With A Printer Bi-directional communication between the printer and Ethernet is disabled. Ethernet to printer communication is still available for sending print jobs to the printer. However, since printer to ethernet communication is disabled, all functionality requiring the use of printer to Ethernet commands is disabled, including the following: 15
