NIC Faceplate
The illustration below shows the NIC faceplate (as seen from the rear of
the printer after installation).
Switches: D1 and D2 are operation mode switches; they are shown in
Normal Operation Mode for printing (D1 & D2 Up).
LEDs: NET (Yellow) and LNK (Green) LEDs show network traffic and
connectivity.
Ethernet Address: A unique NIC Ethernet address is assigned to each
NIC (i.e. 0040C8 1234AB). The first six digits are always 00:40:C8. The
last six digits are unique to each NIC.
Network Broadcasts: The NIC uses its Ethernet address to advertise
itself on Macintosh via Appletalk and on Windows via NetBeui as
“KDxxxxxx” where “xxxxxx” are the last six digits of the address. For
example, a NIC with the address
0040C81234AB
would advertise itself
as
KD1234AB
throughout.
