NIC Features Network Settings Page Each time you turn on the printer, the NIC prints a Network Settings page. Three ways to print a Network Settings page are • Hold down the Operator Panel button for about 10 seconds. • Go to the NIC Home Page, click Network Administration, click Configure Status Page, then click Generate Now. (The NIC Home Page is described beginning on page 8.) • In the SuperScript 870 Utility for MacOS, select Print Settings Page from the Utilities menu. (This utility is described on page 30.) The Network Settings page provides information about the NIC's settings and network connections. You should review this page immediately after NIC installation and any time you change the configuration to verify that the procedure was done properly. In the illustration at the right, important features are circled. The Unit Serial No. (which is also on the back of the NIC), is used for printer identification in peer to peer and NetWare protocols. The Network Address is the hardware address or MAC address. The Protocol Address is the IP address you assign the NIC. You can set a new AppleTalk Printer Name using the SuperScript 870 Utility for MacOS. 6 SuperScript 870 - Network User's Guide The Network Settings Page Unit Serial No: 991655 Version: 05.06 Network Address: 00:40:af:79:0d:38 Network Topology: Ethernet Connector:RJ45 Network Speed: 100 Megabits Novell Network Information enabled Print Server Name: NEC_991655 Password Defined: No Preferred File Server Name not defined Directory Services Tree not defined Directory Services Context not defined Frame Type: Novell 802.3 Peer-to-Peer Information enabled Frame Type: 802.03 Network ID: 32803 TCP/IP Network Information enabled Frame Type: Ethernet II Protocol Address: 131.241.45.189 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway: 131.241.45.254 AppleTalk Network Information enabled Frame Type: 802.2 SNAP On 802.3 Preferred Appletalk Zone:* Novell Connection Information Printer Name: NEC_991655_P File Server: NW410 Queue: NEC_991655_Q Queue: NEC_991655_Q2 No Notify Defined File Server: NW312 Queue: NEC_991655_Q No Notify Defined Priority: 2 Attached: Yes Priority: 1 Attached: Yes Priority: 1 Attached: Yes File Server: PPD Queue: NEC_991655_Q No Notify Defined Priority: 1 Attached: Yes Peer-to-Peer Connection Information Printer Name: NEC_991655 AppleTalk Connection Information AppleTalk Printer Name: Jane's 870 TCP/IP Connection Information Port Number: 10001
