6. Give a detailed description of your network and the components attached. Please follow these tips to determine what the problem may be with your Ethernet Interface configuration. Ethernet Interface Will Not Talk on the Network • Have you assigned it a unique and valid IP address which corresponds with the other IP addresses on your network? For example, are you sure no other device is using this IP address? • Are you sure you are trying to talk to the Ethernet Interface from a Windows station on the same subnet? Currently, the print server can only be seen locally unless you configured a routing entry earlier. • If you look at the back of the printer, is the STAT LED flashing once a second or is it quicker than that? A slower, once-a-second rate tells you that the print server is in fact configured with an IP address. A faster rate says it knows nothing about this so you may need to try the configuration process again. DANGER: Do not connect or disconnect any communication port, teleport, attachment connector, or power cord during an electrical storm. Power off the print and disconnect the power cord before connecting or disconnecting communication port, teleport, or attachment cable connector. • Have you confirmed that the network connection to the Ethernet Interface is working correctly? Trying different network cables and locations will help narrow down the problem. 4-18 Windows Configuration

Ethernet Interface configuration.
Ethernet Interface Will Not Talk on the Network
•
Have you assigned it a unique and valid IP address which corresponds
with the other IP addresses on your network? For example, are you
sure no other device is using this IP address?
•
Are you sure you are trying to talk to the Ethernet Interface from a
Windows station on the same subnet? Currently, the print server can
only be seen locally unless you configured a routing entry earlier.
•
If you look at the back of the printer, is the STAT LED flashing once a
second or is it quicker than that? A slower, once-a-second rate tells you
that the print server is in fact configured with an IP address. A faster
rate says it knows nothing about this so you may need to try the
configuration process again.
DANGER:
<4>
Do not connect or disconnect any communication port, teleport,
attachment connector, or power cord during an electrical storm.
<5>
Power off the print and disconnect the power cord before connecting or
disconnecting communication port, teleport, or attachment cable
connector.
•
Have you confirmed that the network connection to the Ethernet
Interface is working correctly? Trying different network cables and
locations will help narrow down the problem.
