IP Address (GEM
Only)
The GEM - IP Address for the machine must be set up in the DekSECSII.cfg
file, this can be checked and edited if necessary in the configuration file
D:\Program Files\DEK\Machine Control\Printer\DekSECSII.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 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 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
2 Select the Protocols tab, select TCP/IP
protocol 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
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 adminis-
trator
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 Con-
trol\Printer\sdrconf.cfg
Set the Passive IP Address to the
Printers’ IP Address
7 If more than one printer is to communicate
using the GEM Host:
Set a different DEVICEID for each
printer.
8Select 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, modifica-
tions to the file are not saved locally
9 Check the physical connection to the net-
work
Ethernet 10 Base T is supported by DEK
10 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
11 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_******
12 Test the network connection See section ‘Pinging the Network’
