This installation procedure assumes that the Ethernet adapter is
configured with the correct IP address, subnet mask, and gateway
(if required). In addition you can also ping and telnet to the Ethernet
adapter.

Print an E-net Test Page to verify the Ethernet settings.

The default Ethernet queue name is d1prn, however, the name can
be changed. Substitute the changed name for the RMTPRTQ
parameter. To verify the queue name, print an E-net Test Page or
telnet to the adapter and perform a “list dest” command.

Verify Printing On iSeries

This section verifies that the printer is capable of printing ASCII files
and that the printer can be pinged on the network.

To test ASCII printing:

1.

Start TCP/IP, if it is not already running, by entering the
command STRTCP.

2.

Verify that the iSeries TCP/IP interface is active.

3.

Ping

the printer from an iSeries workstation with the

command:

ping ip_address

.

Where ip_address

is the Internet address of the remote

system printer (the Ethernet Interface) or the hostname of the
printer (if you put the hostname in the host entry table as
directed in “Configuring A TCP/IP Host Table Entry” on page
228)
.
