TCP/IP Setup in Windows 95/98 and
Windows NT 4.0
First, Install the TCP/IP Protocol
1. In Windows, open the Network control panel.
2. If TCP/IP Protocol is not installed, add it, and configure the workstation’s TCP/IP settings.
3. Restart. The new protocols and services will not be available until the system is restarted.
Second, Assign the IP Address and Other TCP/IP Parameters to the NIC
If you have a DHCP server, the NIC will retrieve an IP address automatically from the network server when you
turn on the printer. Here we provide instructions for using BOOTP Lite to set the IP address manually. You can also
use ARP/ping commands if you prefer.
note:
For information about using the ARP command or DHCP to set the IP address, see the
More Windows
Information section, beginning on page xx.
1. Launch BOOTP Lite.
a. Insert the 4400
XXXX CD .
b. Press the Windows Start button and select Run .
c. Type
<Drive>:\BOOTP\BOOTPL32.EXE
and click OK to launch the utility.
2. Select Configure from the Admin menu.
a. Enter the IP address to assign to the NIC.
b. Enter the subnet mask. If you are unsure of the correct subnet mask, and the first number in the NIC’s
address is from 192 to 254, then use
255.255.255.0
as the subnet mask.
c. Enter the default gateway address (if applicable) or leave blank.
d. Enter the hardware address of the NIC. This address is listed on the Network Settings page under
Network Address, for example,
00:40:af:c9:f0:d8
. Enter it exactly as it appears on the Network
Settings page.
3. Click on Go to send the new settings to the NIC.
After a few minutes (usually between 1 and 2 minutes, but possibly up to 5 minutes on very large or busy
networks), the NIC will reset and print its Network Settings page. The new IP settings will be listed in the TCP/IP
Network Information section of the Network Settings page.
If the new IP address does not appear on the Network Settings page under “Protocol Address,” you may have
entered the hardware address incorrectly in BOOTP Lite. Repeat Steps 2 and 3, and check the IP address on the
new Network Settings page.
The new IP address can also be verified in BootP Lite by turning the printer off and on, and selecting Verify from
the Admin menu. It should report that the Unit is Active .
