This chapter includes: • Introduction • Supported operating systems • Configuring TCP/IP • Configuring IPX frame types • Setting Ethernet speed • Restoring the network configuration • Printing a network configuration page Introduction Once you have connected your printer to a network with an RJ-45 Ethernet cable, you can share the printer with other network users. You need to set up the network protocols on the printer to use it as your network printer. Protocols can be set up by the following two methods: Via network administration programs You can configure your printer's print server settings and manage the printer via the following programs that came with your printer: • SyncThru™ Web Admin Service: A web-based printer management solution for network administrators. SyncThru™ Web Admin Service provides you with an efficient way of managing network devices and lets you remotely monitor and troubleshoot network printers from any site with corporate intranet access. • SyncThru™ Web Service: A web server embedded to your network print server, which allows you to configure the network parameters necessary for the printer to connect to various network environments. • SetIP: A utility program allowing you to select a network interface and manually configure the addresses for use with the TCP/IP protocol. For further details, refer to the user's guide on the network utilities CD that came with your printer. Via the control panel You can set up the following basic network parameters through the printer's control panel: • Configure TCP/IP • Configure IPX frame types for NetWare • Configure EtherTalk 4.1
