CONFIGURATION TOOLS Two-Part Configuration When talking about configuration, it is important to understand that there are two parts to a Ethernet Interface setup: 1. Configuring the Ethernet Interface so that it can be seen on the network. This involves network related settings (e.g. an IP address within TCP/IP environments) configured through the built-in command shell, npsh, or from the operator panel, or by using a web browser. 2. Configuring a host with a new printer so it knows how to send data to the Ethernet Interface. Just being able to see the printer on the network does not mean you can automatically print to it. A host has to be told where to send the data. NOTE: There are some network environments that do not require any network settings to be configured on the Ethernet Interface. However, all network setups require configuration on the host end. Introduction 1-7

Introduction
CONFIGURATION TOOLS
Two-Part Configuration
When talking about configuration, it is important to understand that there are two
parts to a Ethernet Interface setup:
1.
Configuring the Ethernet Interface so that it can be seen on the network. This
involves network related settings (e.g. an IP address within TCP/IP
environments) configured through the built-in command shell, npsh, or from
the operator panel, or by using a web browser.
2.
Configuring a host with a new printer so it knows how to send data to the
Ethernet Interface. Just being able to see the printer on the network does not
mean you can automatically print to it. A host has to be told where to send
the data.
NOTE:
There are some network environments that do not require any
network settings to be configured on the Ethernet Interface.
However, all network setups require configuration on the host end.
