5: TCP/IP Configuration
The EZWebCon configuration software is the easiest way to configure the Terminal Server.
The following sections cover IP address configuration and print configuration methods for
TCP/IP hosts.
5.1 Setting the IP Address
The Terminal Server IP address must be configured before any TCP/IP functionality is
available. Use one of the following methods to set the IP address: EZWebCon; a directed
Ping packet; a BOOTP, DHCP, or RARP reply; or commands entered via the command
line interface.
5.1.1 Using EZWebCon
Use the following steps to assign an IP address using the EZWebCon Expert Shell.
1
From the
Action
menu, select
Assign IP Address
.
2
Enter or change the IP-related settings:
A
For
Ethernet Address
, enter the number that appears on the bottom label of
your Terminal Server.
B
For
IP Address
, enter the desired IP address to use for this Terminal Server.
C
For
Subnet Mask
, change the values provided only if you wish to use a mask
other than the default. The default value should be correct in most cases.
D
For
Loadhost
, enter the IP address of the loadhost where you intend to store
your operating code.
3
Click
OK
.
4
Reboot the Terminal Server. EZWebCon will let you know whether the configura-
tion was successful.
Note:
If you have an older version of EZWebCon, refer to the Readme that
was included with it.
5.1.2 Using a Directed Ping Packet
The ARP/ping method is available under UNIX and Windows-based systems. If the
Terminal Server has no IP address, it will set its address from the first directed IP packet it
receives.
