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’

TESTING THE CONNECTION

27.14 Technical Reference Manual Chapter Issue 1 Aug 02

Using a Laptop If ‘Pinging’ the network fails, a laptop computer can be attached to the printing

machine to test the local network is working correctly.

NOTE

Before commencing testing, make a note of the original configurations of both

the laptop and the printer so that they can be reset on completion.

1. Identify the laptop name by selecting Control Panel, Network.

2. Under the Protocols tab select TCP/IP and Properties, select Specify an IP

Address.

3. Enter IP Address 195.100.100.2 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Select

OK. Close the network dialog and the control panel and re-boot the laptop.

4. Connect the laptop to the printer using a cross-over network cable.

5. On the laptop log in locally as ‘Yourself’ in the laptop name domain.

6. Create a directory called Test, change its properties so that it is shared.

7. Create two sub-directories of Test for ‘data’ and ‘products’.

8. At the printer, check that the printer’s IP Address is 195.100.100.1

NOTE

If the IP Address is changed the printer shall need to be rebooted.

9. On the desk top double click My Computer.

10.Right click on C:Drive.

11.Select Sharing, Select New Share. Type C Drive in the shared name box.

12.Select User Limit and allow user = 1.

13.Repeat these steps for D Drive.

14.From the Start Menu, select Programs and then Windows NT Explorer.
