Communicating Across Routers Communicating Across Routers SMART Since Windows environments rely on TCP/IP to communicate with the Ethernet Interface, crossing routers becomes an issue. After you have followed one of the Ethernet Interface configuration methods mentioned, most likely you will only be able to communicate with the print server from the same subnet. This means any hosts across a router will not be able to see your Ethernet Interface. For hosts across a router to see your Ethernet Interface, store a default router/gateway within the print server so that any packets destined for another subnet get forwarded to this router automatically. The router (or series of routers) can then take over, ensuring the packets get to their final destination on another subnet on your network. To configure a default router/gateway within the Ethernet Interface using HTML forms: 1. Load a Web browser on your Windows station and direct it to the URL: http://EthernetInterfaceIPaddress/ networkConf.html (e.g., http://192.75.11.9/networkConf.html). NOTE: If prompted for a "User ID" and password first, type in root for the ID and press ENTER at the password prompt (since there is no password by default). 2. At the "Network Configuration" HTML form that displays, click in the first field below the "Gateway" heading and type in the IP address of the default router/gateway for the Ethernet Interface subnet. 3. Click on the SUBMIT button when done and physically repower the print server to have the new settings take effect. 77
