TCP/IP Setup in Windows 95/98 and Windows NT 4.0 First, Install the TCP/IP Protocol 1. In Windows, open the Network control panel. 2. If TCP/IP Protocol is not installed, add it, and configure the workstation's TCP/IP settings. 3. Restart. The new protocols and services will not be available until the system is restarted. Second, Assign the IP Address and Other TCP/IP Parameters to the NIC If you have a DHCP server, the NIC will retrieve an IP address automatically from the network server when you turn on the printer. Here we provide instructions for using BOOTP Lite to set the IP address manually. You can also use ARP/ping commands if you prefer. note: For information about using the ARP command or DHCP to set the IP address, see the More Windows Information section, beginning on page 18. 1. Launch BOOTP Lite. a. Insert the 870 Network Options CD. b. Press the Windows Start button and select Run. c. Type :\BOOTP\BOOTPL32.EXE and click OK to launch the utility. 2. Select Configure from the Admin menu. a. Enter the IP address to assign to the NIC. b. Enter the subnet mask. If you are unsure of the correct subnet mask, and the first number in the NIC's address is from 192 to 254, then use 255.255.255.0 as the subnet mask. c. Enter the default gateway address (if applicable) or leave blank. d. Enter the hardware address of the NIC. This address is listed on the Network Settings page under Network Address, for example, 00:40:af:c9:f0:d8. Enter it exactly as it appears on the Network Settings page. 3. Click on Go to send the new settings to the NIC. After a few minutes (usually between 1 and 2 minutes, but possibly up to 5 minutes on very large or busy networks), the NIC will reset and print its Network Settings page. The new IP settings will be listed in the TCP/IP Network Information section of the Network Settings page. If the new IP address does not appear on the Network Settings page under "Protocol Address," you may have entered the hardware address incorrectly in BOOTP Lite. Repeat Steps 2 and 3, and check the IP address on the new Network Settings page. The new IP address can also be verified in BootP Lite by turning the printer off and on, and selecting Verify from the Admin menu. It should report that the Unit is Active. 14 SuperScript 870 - Network User's Guide

SuperScript 870 — Network User’s Guide
TCP/IP Setup in Windows
95/98 and Windows NT 4.0
First, Install the TCP/IP Protocol
1.
In Windows, open the
Network
control panel.
2.
If
TCP/IP Protocol
is not installed, add it, and configure
the workstation’s TCP/IP settings.
3.
Restart.
The new protocols and services will not be
available until the system is restarted.
Second, Assign the IP Address and Other
TCP/IP Parameters to the NIC
If you have a DHCP server, the NIC will retrieve an IP
address automatically from the network server when you
turn on the printer. Here we provide instructions for using
BOOTP Lite to set the IP address manually. You can also use
ARP/ping commands if you prefer.
note:
For information about using the ARP command
or DHCP to set the IP address, see the
More Windows
Information
section, beginning on page 18.
1.
Launch BOOTP Lite.
a.
Insert the 870
Network Options CD
.
b.
Press the Windows
Start
button and select
Run
.
c.
Type
<Drive>:\BOOTP\BOOTPL32.EXE
and click
OK
to launch the utility.
2.
Select Configure from the Admin menu.
a.
Enter the IP address to assign to the NIC.
b.
Enter the subnet mask. If you are unsure of the correct
subnet mask, and the first number in the NIC’s address
is from 192 to 254, then use
255.255.255.0
as the
subnet mask.
c.
Enter the default gateway address (if applicable) or
leave blank.
d.
Enter the hardware address of the NIC. This address is
listed on the Network Settings page under Network
Address, for example,
00:40:af:c9:f0:d8
. Enter it
exactly as it appears on the Network Settings page.
3.
Click on Go to send the new settings to the NIC.
After a few minutes (usually between 1 and 2 minutes, but
possibly up to 5 minutes on very large or busy networks),
the NIC will reset and print its Network Settings page. The
new IP settings will be listed in the TCP/IP Network
Information section of the Network Settings page.
If the new IP address does not appear on the Network
Settings page under “Protocol Address,” you may have
entered the hardware address incorrectly in BOOTP Lite.
Repeat Steps 2 and 3, and check the IP address on the new
Network Settings page.
The new IP address can also be verified in BootP Lite by
turning the printer off and on, and selecting
Verify
