6.
When the operator panel displays the value you want, press Enter. The
“<” moves to the next value, for example:
10.0<0.0
7. Press the Value key until the desired value is displayed, then press the
Enter
key.
8. Repeat step 7 until all four values have been set, then press the Enter key
to set the address. The value has been set if an asterisk (*) displays to the
right of the value, for example:
9.99.40.2 *
9. Press the Online key to return the printer to READY status. The panel
displays the message I/O INITIALIZING and writes the new addresses to
non-volatile memory. (This process takes a few minutes.) Do not power
off the printer
while the I/O INITIALIZING message is displayed.
Setting the Locally Administered MAC Address (LAA)
Network Administrator Tip
Each token-ring network interface card comes with a unique,
pre-assigned MAC address printed on its faceplate and set at the factory.
The following procedure allows you to use locally administered
addresses (LAA) instead of the factory value. Resetting the printer to
factory defaults sets the LAA back to the MAC address. IBM
recommends that you contact your network administrator before you
change the MAC address because each LAA must be unique on the
network.
To change the LAA address for the printer:
1. Press the Online key to take the printer offline.
2.
Press the Menu key until the operator panel displays TOKEN RING
MENU.
3. Press the Item key until the operator panel displays MAC ADDRESS.
4.
Press the Enter key. For a new printer whose MAC address has not yet
been changed, the operator panel displays the unique MAC address that
came with the card, for example:
MAC ADDRESS 01< 04-AC-9A-00-00
The “<” indicates the value you can change at this point. Notice that the
first pair of values (01, in this case) is shown on the same line as “MAC
ADDRESS”.
5.
Press the Value key. The asterisk (*) goes away and the value is
incremented by one. The range of the address values is zero to 255 hex
