NETWORKING

CONNECTION TO A NETWORK SERVICE

Chapter Issue 2, Aug 14 Technical Reference Manual 28.9

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 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

From the Windows desktop, right click My

Computer, select - Properties - Network

Identification - Properties to register the

printer on the correct domain or workgroup

The network administrator shall supply

domain or workgroup information

Select the Protocols tab, select TCP/IP pro-

tocol and the Properties button

Check that the adaptor is correct for the

connection (as fitted in the PC) There

may be more than one device fitted

If DHCP is specified:- Select: Obtain an IP Address from the

DHCP Server

If an IP Address is to be specified:- Obtain the IP Address, and the Subnet

Mask details from the system adminis-

trator

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)

For GEM, set up the IP address in the SDR

driver

D:\Program Files\DEK\Machine Con-

trol\Printer\sdrconf.cfg

Set the Passive IP Address to the Print-

ers’ IP Address

If more than one printer is to communicate

using the GEM Host:

Set a different DEVICEID for each

printer.

Select Local Copies option Decide if it is desired that the printer cop-

ies remote product files to the local drive

after loading it from the remote product

directory. If disabled, modifications to

the file are not saved locally

Check the physical connection to the network Ethernet 10 Base T is supported by ASM

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 Prop-

erties, Routing

Using My Network Places 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 - DEK_******

Test the network connection See section ‘Pinging the Network’

TESTING THE CONNECTION

28.10 Technical Reference Manual Chapter Issue 2, Aug 14

TESTING THE CONNECTION

Pinging the

Network

To test if the DEK machine is connected to the network, you can ‘Ping’ the

network using the following procedure:

1. From the Windows desktop, select Start - Run and enter CMD in the box

labelled ‘Open:’.

2. Select OK.

3. Type Ping <Server IP Address or Computer Name>.

4. NOTE

5. The network administrator can supply an IP Address or computer name to

ping.

6. If the ping is successful the reply shall contain information of the form:

Reply from 195.213.112.69: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128.

The installation of the printer to the company network has been successful.

NETWORKING

TESTING THE CONNECTION

Chapter Issue 2, Aug 14 Technical Reference Manual 28.11

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

machine to test the network driver and card 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. Connect the laptop to the DEK printer using a cross-over network cable.

2. On the laptop, change the IP Address to 195.100.100.2 with a subnet

mask of 255.255.255.0.

3. Select OK and reboot the laptop.

4. On the DEK printer, change the IP Address to 195.100.100.1 with a subnet

mask of 255.255.255.0.

5. Select OK and reboot the printer.

6. From the Windows desktop, select Start - Run and enter CMD in the box

labelled ‘Open:’.

7. Select OK.

8. Type Ping 195.100.100.2.

9. If the ping is successful, the reply displays the following information:

Reply from 195.100.100.2: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128.

10. Disconnect the cross-over network cable and reset the printer and laptop

to their original settings.

Finding an IP

Address

If the IP Address of a machine is not known (either PC or DEK Printer) these

can be obtained by opening the Command Prompt window. At the prompt

type IPCONFIG/ALL

All addresses are listed which the item is connected to including routers and

other servers.
