IP ADDRESS CONFIGURATION
For a machine to function in a network environment, correct setting of its IP
Address is necessary. The IP Address (Internet Protocol Address) provides a
unique global address for both the machine and the network.
NOTE
IP Addresses must be provided by the sites Line or Network Manager.
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 adaptor and either obtain or specify a IP
address for the printer.
SDR Driver
(GEM Only)
The IP address of the printer must be set up in the SDR driver. To do this edit the
SDR configuration file ‘c:\printer\conf170.cfg’ (see next page) using a text
editor. The DOS program EDIT is suitable and can be used by typing the
following from the DOS prompt:
EDIT C:\printer\conf170.cfg
Set the PASSIVE ENTITY IPADDRESS 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).
