Mandatory Settings
The PrintNet Interface must be configured with an IP address and subnet
mask at a minimum. Consult you network administrator to obtain the
proper values for these parameters.
Optional Settings
One additional setting, the gateway address, is necessary if the OS/2
workstations must communicate with the PrintNet Interface across a
router. Consult your network administrator to obtain the proper value for
this parameter.
Configuration using the Printer Operator Panel
You can set any of three listed parameters from the control panel. These
parameters are located in the Ethernet Parameters menu. The available
parameters are:
•
IP Address
•
Gateway Address
•
Subnet Mask
The procedure for changing any of the parameters is the same. The

Address parameter:
