3-2 Management Methods

3. A list of configured print servers will appear. If you are running TCP/IP, then

you must enter an IP address into the print server as follows (refer to Chapters
4 or 7 for alternate methods for configuring the IP address):
Make sure that your computer is configured for TCP/IP with a valid IP address
configured for LAN operation (not PPP dial-up; refer to your system
documentation for additional information).

NOTE:

Consult your system manager before assigning IP addresses to
your computer or to the print server in order to avoid duplications.
If your network does not have an officially assigned block of IP
addresses, you may use any unique address between
192.168.254.1 and 192.168.254.254 (this is a reserved range of
Class C addresses for private networks that are not connected to
the Internet per RFC 1918; note that you must also assign the
print server an IP address in this range). You may also use a
subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 with no gateway address. If you
have more than one LAN adapter card, select the one you want to
use for TCP/IP.

Click on the TCP/IP folder icon under "Filter" on the left side of the
XAdmin screen.

Click on the Search button (the leftmost button) or select Devices and
then Search Active Devices from the menu bar.

If you have a DHCP, BOOTP, or rarp server (or if the print server
already has an IP address from some other source), the print server
should appear in the list of configured print servers. If this is the
case, skip to step 4.

If the print server does not have an IP address, then click on the
Setup Unconfigured Devices button (the third from the left) or select
Devices and then Setup Unconfigured Devices from the menu bar.
This will display the unconfigured print servers listed by their
Ethernet address (MAC Address). Double click on the desired print
server to configure it.

Enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway and click OK.

The list of unconfigured print servers will again be displayed. Click
on Close to return to the main screen.

The print server should show up on the main XAdmin32 screen (the
default name will be XCD_xxxxxx, where "xxxxxx" is the last six digits
of the Ethernet address). If the print server does not appear on the
main screen, click on the Search button to find new print servers.
