Token Ring
Using PhaserLink Printer Management Software to configure
Token Ring
Once a TCP/IP connection to the printer has been established and the printer’s IP address
is set, you can visit the printer’s Status page from your web browser by entering the
printer’s URL (Uniform Resource Locator), just as you would to visit any web site.
The
printer’s URL is:
http://
printer’s-IP-address
/
where
printer’s-IP-address
is the IP address or DNS name you set during TCP/IP
configuration.
Example using IP addess:
Example using DNS name:
http://Tektronix_Marketing/
1.
Connect to the printer via PhaserLink (as described in the preceding paragraphs).
2.
On the left side of the page, click
Settings.
3.
In the
INTERFACES
group, click
PhaserShare Token Ring Card.
4.
Enter the Token Ring parameters in the fields on the page.
5.
Click
Apply
to save your changes.
6.
You must reset the printer before the changes take effect.
For more information, see
Resetting the Printer
on page 41.
For more information on PhaserLink, see your printer’s networking setup guide.
Using the
config-TokenRing
script
The UNIX shell script
config-TokenRing
is provided with the printer’s network utilities
software.
The script creates a PostScript file containing the Token Ring parameters.
Set
the Token Ring parameters by sending the PostScript file to the printer.
Before performing this procedure, you must install the script on your host computer.
If
you have not already installed the file, see
Extracting files from unix.tar
on page 25.
Your
host spooling system must also be configured; see
TCP/IP Host Configuration (UNIX)
on
page 25.
1.
Connect the printer to the network.
ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) requires that
the printer be connected on the same physical network segment as the host.
You will
be using the
arp
command later in this procedure.
2.
Log in.
3.
Run the script
config-TokenRing:
a.
Change (
cd
) to the
bin
subdirectory in the directory where you placed your
printer’s network utilities.
b.
Type the name of the script, redirecting the output to a file.
Type:
