Basic Ethernet Configuration
33
•
Configuring a host with a new printer so it knows how to send
data to the Ethernet Interface. Just being able to see the printer
on the network does not mean you can automatically print to it.
A host has to be told where to send the data.
NOTE: Some network environments do not require any network
settings to be configured on the Ethernet Interface.
However, all network setups require configuration on the
host end.
Basic Ethernet Configuration
Since the Basic Ethernet adapter is not detected by the printer like
the Smart Ethernet adapter, Ethernet configuration menu options
will not be available through the control panel. The IBM 4400
Ethernet Utility can be used to set the printer’s IP address when
using the Basic Ethernet adapter, DHCP, ARP, or BOOTP. This
utility requires Java (JRE). The IBM 4400 Ethernet Utility can be
found on the IBM printers webpage for downloading drivers and
utilities:
(http://www.printers.ibm.com/R5PSC.NSF/Web/download)
Under Thermal, select the IBM 4400. Instructions for using the
utility reside in the program’s help files.
NOTE: The following functions available with the Smart Ethernet
adapter are NOT available with the Basic Ethernet adapter:
•
IPDS Data Stream Support
•
Printer Management Utility (PMU) Support
•
SNMP Support
•
Novell Netware support
•
Web page support
•
Telnet 5250 Support
