3 Windows - FastManage ConÞguration Utilities
Windows FastManage Utilities:
FastManage Utilities allow you to
conÞgure the NIC remotely from Windows platforms. They provide
complete control over all network protocols and related parameters via a
graphical user interface.
Alternate Method:
You can also use Telnet to conÞgure and troubleshoot
the NIC from any platform that supports TCP/IP communications. Refer to
Appendix A for information on using Telnet.
Initial NIC check and printer setup using Win 95/NT Network
Neighborhood:
If you have network browsing capabilities and you select
Workgroup
, you should be able to see the printer/NIC initially advertising
itself as
KDxxxxxx
, where ÒxxxxxxÓ is consistent with the last six digits of
the Ethernet address for the NIC. This is just an initial check that the NIC
is functioning on your network. You must still use conÞguration utilities to
conÞgure non-default network parameters. If you are comfortable with
NIC conÞguration defaults, then you could select the ÒKDxxxxxxÓ printer/
NIC. Windows will prompt you to install a print driver, if necessary. After
installing an appropriate printer driver, you will be able to select the printer
within an application ÒPrintÓ window and and print to that printer.
