Installing the Network Interface Board 2-1
Chapter 2
Installing the Network Interface Board
This chapter describes:
• Installing an Network Interface Board in your printer
• Connecting the Network Interface Board to an Ethernet network
• Powering up the printer
2.1 Installing an Network Interface Board in Your Printer
1. Before installing the board, generate a printer status or test page, if possible.
This gives you detailed information on the identification and configuration of
your printer, and ensures the printer is set up and operating properly.
2. Make sure the printer is operating properly, there is paper in the paper tray, and the
toner bottle is setting correctly.
3. Turn off the printer and remove the power cord.
4. Install the Network Interface Board in the option port, according to the printer
manufacturer’s instructions.
Note: The Network Interface Board is designed to protect sensitive components from dam-
age due to electrostatic discharge during normal operation. When installing the card,
however, take proper static-control precautions to prevent damage to equipment.

2.2 Connecting the Network Interface Board to an Ethernet Network
2-2 Installing the Network Interface Board
2.2 Connecting the Network Interface Board to an Ethernet Net-
work
Connect the Network Interface Board to your Ethernet network using the 10BaseT or
100BaseT Ethernet interface. This network connection uses a 4-wire RJ cable to plug into
the RJ45 network connector on the Network Interface Board. For a description of the
signals, see Appendix B, Network Interface Board Specifications.
2.3 Powering up the Printer
1. Plug in the power cord.
2. Turn on the power and wait for the printer to warm up.
The printer may print a status or start-up page if this option is not disabled.
The Network Interface Board then sends a print job to the printer that contains the
Network Interface Board status information. For more information, see Section
8.2 Status Report.
3. Check the Network Interface Board status report. Record the serial number (six
digits with a three-letter prefix) and the network address or save the status report.
You need this information when you configure the printer for your network.
Refer to the chapters relevant to your particular network setup for instructions on
configuring the network for the Network Interface Board.

Monitoring the Network Interface Board 3-1
Chapter 3
Monitoring the Network Interface Board
This chapter describes:
• Overview of the Management Access Program (MAP)
• MAP requirements
• Where to install MAP
• Installing MAP in Windows 95/98/Me, Windows 2000 or Windows NT
• Using MAP to monitor and maintain the Network Interface Board
• Using a Web browser to monitor and maintain the Network Interface Board
3.1 MAP Overview
The Management Access Program (MAP) provides a Windows-based HTML viewer
linked to a proprietary bi-directional IPX/IP channel program to allow access to the
Network Interface Board’s HTML pages for monitoring and maintenance capabilities.
Using MAP lets you:
• Configure your network protocols for the Network Interface Board
• Reset the Network Interface Board remotely or return it to its factory default
settings
• Troubleshoot problems in the Network Interface Board
• Enable or disable the status sheet printout
• Access a context-sensitive help menu that explains how to use each Network
Interface Board HTML feature
You can also access the monitoring and maintenance capabilities by using a Web browser
such as Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. The Network Interface Board must have
an IP address for access with a Web browser.
Note: To change parameter values with MAP or with a Web browser, you must know the
Network Interface Board management password. The factory default password is

3.2 MAP Requirements
3-2 Monitoring the Network Interface Board
sysadm.
3.2 MAP Requirements
To use MAP, your workstation must have the following installed:
• Microsoft TCP/IP protocol
It is not necessary for the network to support TCP/IP. However, the TCP/IP
protocol must be installed even if the network does not support it.
• A Web browser — such as Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator
• IPX — if you want to use the IPX search functions
Both the Microsoft standard stacks and Novell 32-bit stacks are supported.
3.3 Installing MAP
You can install MAP on any workstation hard drive or network drive.
To install MAP:
1. Put the supplied CD-ROM into the CD drive of your workstation.
2. Choose Start>Run.
3. Type the following command and click OK:
drive:\MAP\SETUP.EXE
where drive is your CD drive.
4. Read the information in the MAP installation notes.
5. At the prompt “Do you wish to install MAP?,” click Yes.
6. Select a destination directory for the program (default is
C:\Program Files\MAP) and click Next.
7. Select a program folder (default is MAP) and click Next.
Note: You cannot use MAP with Windows 3.1.

3.4 Monitoring with MAP
Monitoring the Network Interface Board 3-3
3.4 Monitoring with MAP
1. To start MAP on your workstation, choose Start -> Map -> Map.
MAP lists IP print servers by their IP address and lists IPX print servers by their
SAP identification.
2. Select the print server you want to access.
MAP sets up a link to the print server and obtains its HTML page.
3.5 Monitoring with a Web Browser
Once you have assigned an IP address to your Network Interface Board, you can use a
Web browser, such as Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer, to view the Network
Interface Board HTML pages for monitoring and maintenance as follows:
1. In your Web browser, choose File -> Open.
2. Enter the IP address of the Network Interface Board and click OK.
For example:
http://192.9.200.200
The HTTP Server screen opens.
If you have problems, make sure you are using the correct IP address.
