Overview This chapter details a complete OS/2 configuration setup including: 1. Configuring the Ethernet Interface with its TCP/IP settings 2. Configuring a new printer on an OS/2 workstation. The procedure given will be from an OS/2 Warp 4 system, but the setup is similar to OS/2 Warp 3 and v2.11. 3. OS/2 must have TCP/IP installed on it and be configured with the correct IP parameters. See OS/2 documentation/help and your network administrator. Configuring the Ethernet Interface TCP/IP Settings There are mandatory TCP/IP settings (i.e. an IP address and subnet mask) needed before the print server can be detected on the network. There are also some additional settings that you may want to configure but these are optional. This section offers alternative methods for configuring your Ethernet Interface within an OS/2 environment and mentions some of the more common optional settings available. Mandatory Settings The Ethernet Interface must be configured with an IP address and subnet mask at a minimum. Consult your network administrator to obtain the proper values for these parameters. Optional Settings One additional setting, the gateway address, is necessary if the OS/2 workstations must communicate with the Ethernet Interface across a router. Consult your network administrator to obtain the proper value for this parameter. Configuration using the Printer Operator Panel You can set any of three listed parameters from the operator panel. These parameters are located in the Ethernet Parameters menu. The available parameters are: • IP Address • Gateway Address • Subnet Mask 2-2 OS/2 Configuration

OS/2 Configuration
Overview
This chapter details a complete OS/2 configuration setup including:
1.
Configuring the Ethernet Interface with its TCP/IP settings
2.
Configuring a new printer on an OS/2 workstation. The procedure given will
be from an OS/2 Warp 4 system, but the setup is similar to OS/2 Warp 3 and
v2.11.
3.
OS/2 must have TCP/IP installed on it and be configured with the correct IP
parameters. See OS/2 documentation/help and your network administrator.
Configuring the Ethernet Interface TCP/IP Settings
There are mandatory TCP/IP settings (i.e. an IP address and subnet mask)
needed before the print server can be detected on the network. There are also
some additional settings that you may want to configure but these are optional.
This section offers alternative methods for configuring your Ethernet Interface
within an OS/2 environment and mentions some of the more common optional
settings available.
Mandatory Settings
The Ethernet Interface must be configured with an IP address and subnet mask
at a minimum. Consult your network administrator to obtain the proper values for
these parameters.
Optional Settings
One additional setting, the gateway address, is necessary if the OS/2
workstations must communicate with the Ethernet Interface across a router.
Consult your network administrator to obtain the proper value for this parameter.
Configuration using the Printer Operator Panel
You can set any of three listed
parameters from the operator panel. These
parameters are located in the Ethernet Parameters menu. The available
parameters are:
•
IP Address
•
Gateway Address
•
Subnet Mask
