The EZWebCon configuration software is the easiest way to 
configure the MPS. The following sections cover IP address 
configuration and print configuration methods for TCP/ IP hosts.  

Setting the IP Address  

The MPS IP address must be configured before any TCP/IP 
functionality is available. Use one of the following methods to set 
the IP address: EZWebCon; a directed Ping packet; a BOOTP, 
DHCP, or RARP reply; or commands entered via the command line 
interface.  

Using EZWebCon  

Use the following steps to assign an IP address using the 
EZWebCon Expert Shell.  

1. 

From the Action menu, select Assign IP Address.  

2. 

Enter or change the IP-related settings:  

a)  For Ethernet Address, enter the number that appears on 

the bottom label of your MPS. 

b)  For IP Address, enter the desired IP address to use for 

this MPS.  

c)  For Subnet Mask, change the values provided only if you 

wish to use a mask other than the default. The default 
value should be correct in most cases.  

d)  For Loadhost, enter the IP address of the loadhost where 

you intend to store your operating code.  

3. 

Click OK.  

4. 

Reboot the MPS. EZWebCon will let you know whether the 
configuration was successful.  

Note:

 If you have an older version of EZWebCon, refer to the 

Readme that was included with it.
