Subnet IP Address Range Discover Resolve Host Names Routers The following section discusses various discover parameters that may be set through the Discover Configuration window. The Discover Configuration window is divided into three portions. IP, IPX, and Community String. IP To discover network printers via IP, check the IP box located at the top left corner of the Discover Configuration window. The user may now configure up to four different methods by which PrinterMap can discover printers via IP. Subnet and IP address range discover are configured under the main Discover Configuration window and default gateway and secondary router discover are configured on the Routers window accessible by clicking on the Routers button. To perform an IP subnet discovery, check this box. In most cases PrinterMap automatically fills-in the IP address and subnet mask of the local machine. The user may use these values or fill-in new IP address and subnet mask information in order to discover the printers on a remote subnet. Using the IP address and subnet mask values, the discover process systematically checks all IP addresses within the specified subnet. For example, if there is a class C network and the local machine's IP address is 12.13.12.67 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 then PrinterMap queries every IP address between 12.13.12.1 and 12.13.12.254. To perform an IP address range discover, check this box. Multiple IP address ranges can be specified. The discover process queries all the IP addresses within each specified range. After entering a new IP address range click the Add button. Address ranges can be edited in-place by clicking the desired range twice. To remove a range, highlight the range and click the Delete button. To have PrinterMap resolve IP addresses of discovered printers to their host name equivalent, check this box. In environments where IP host names are relied on more than the MIB II system name value, this box should be checked. After the discover process, PrinterMap resolves each discovered printer's IP address into its equivalent host name value. Choosing the Routers button retrieves another IP discover configuration window with further choices for discovery via network routers. PrinterMap User Guide 23
