Chapter 5
TCP/IP
This Chapter explains how to configure and use the Print
Server in the TCP/IP environment.
Software Requirements
The Print Server can work with most UNIX systems and Windows NT 3.5 or later.
Software required is:
•
TCP, IP, telnet, ftp (option - BOOTP, rarp)
•
Either LPD (NT, Unix) or C Compiler (for PSfilter under Unix).
Device Configuration
Note: The device should be configured FIRST.
Configuration of your Print Server can be done by any of the following methods.
♦
BiAdmin Management Program
This program requires Windows 95 or Windows NT. See
Chapter 8 -
Management Tools for details.
♦
WebAdmin Management Program
This runs on an NT Server and is accessed by a WEB browser. See
Chapter 8 -
Management Tools for details.
♦
FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
With FTP, you copy the configuration file from the device, edit it, and send it
back. Further information on using FTP is on pages 39 to 41.
IP Address Configuration
In the TCP/IP environment, IP addresses are essential. The Print Server requires the
following IP Addresses to be entered. (The entry in brackets shows the line number
and token in the device’s configuration file.)
IP Address
(4000 IP_ADDR)
Device IP Address. See the following section.
Gateway Address
(4001 GATEWAY)
If your network segment has a router, enter the router
address here.
If there is no router, leave the address as 0.0.0.0.
Subnet Mask
(4002 MASK)
If the Gateway Address above is 0.0.0.0 the Subnet Mask
should also be left at 0.0.0.0.
If you have a router, enter the Subnet mask for the
segment to which the Print Server is attached.
