IP Address Configuration
Figure 28-5 Selecting the Protocol Type
TCP/IP
Driver (GEM
and NET_FILES)
Windows NT Network Configuration option can be set up using the Network
icon in Control Panel. Select Protocols and highlight TCP/IP Protocol. From
Properties choose the appropriate adapter and either obtain or specify a fixed IP
Address for the printer in Protocols - Properties.
NOTE
The network administrator should be instructed to create two working directo-
ries for the product and data fields to be stored. These directories must have
read/write capabilities.
SDR Driver (GEM
Only)
The GEM - IP Address for the machine must be set up in the SDR driver, this
can be checked and edited if necessary in the configuration file D:\ Program
files\DEK\Machine Control\Printer\sdrconf.cfg
Set the PASSIVE ENTITY IP ADDRESS to the printers’ ‘IP Address’.
If there is more than one printer communicating with the GEM Host, set the
DEVICEID differently for each printer. The default value is 0x109 (265).
Alternative DEVICEID values should be chosen within the range 0x0000 -
0x7FFF (0 - 32767).

Quick
Reference Table
The table below is provided for an engineer who needs a quick reference to the
actions required to install a machine onto a network. The engineer may have
previously installed a machine, be re-installing a machine onto another server or
be installing several machines at once.
NOTE
The system requires that the correct enabling security key device driver is fitted
to the port on the rear of the machine before software applications can be
installed
At the printer use housekeeping to transfer product files (.pr1) from local disk to
the remote disk. Load a product file from the remote disk back to the printer and
check that the transaction is complete.
No. Action Required Information
1 In Windows, select the Network icon
from Control Panel and the Identifi-
cation tab, register the printer on the
correct domain or workgroup
The network administrator shall supply domain
or workgroup information, select the Change
button to change the detail
2 Select the Protocols tab, select TCP/
IP protocol and the Properties button
Check that the adaptor is correct for the con-
nection (as fitted in the PC). There may be
more than one device fitted
3 If DHCP is specified:- Select: Obtain an IP Address from the
DHCP Server
4 If an IP Address is to be specified:- Obtain the IP Address, and the Subnet Mask
details from the system administrator
5 Tell the network administrator that
you require two working directories
where the product and data files are to
be stored
Files must have full administrative rights (read/
write)
6 For GEM, set up the IP address in the
SDR driver
D:\ Program Files \ DEK\Machine Control \
Printer \ sdrconf.cfg
Set the
Passive IP Address to the print-
ers IP Address
7 If more than one printer is to commu-
nicate using the GEM Host:
Set a different DEVICEID for each printer.
8 At the printer in Set Prefs, select
Comms Protocol to ON
For serial GEM only
9 Select Auto Login option Set to disabled if the operator is to log in every
session or enabled if the login is to occur auto-
matically at start up
10 Select Local Copies option Decide if it is desired that the printer copies
remote product files to the local drive after
loading it from the remote product directory. If
disabled, modifications to the file are not saved
11 Check the physical connection to the
network
Ethernet 10BaseT is supported by DEK
12 Ask the network administrator if there
are any intermediate routers between
the server and the printing machine
Supply the correct IP Address, check the IP
forwarding option in Protocols Properties,
Routing
13 Using Network Neighborhood in
Windows, check that the printer can be
‘seen’ by the host PC
Look for a computer icon with the printer serial
number next to it
14 Test the network connection See section ‘Pinging the Network’
