Introduction
The EcoLAN 1000E is a Network Interface Controller that you install into compatible
printers to provide Ethernet network connectivity. The EcoLAN 1000E has the
following features:
• Automatic selection of 10Base2 (Thinnet) or 10BaseT Ethernet connection (for
Ethernet cards with both type of connections).
• Fully transparent AppleTalk printing support for the Macintosh, including support
for binary PostScript printing.
• Peer-to-Peer (serverless) discovery and printing from Windows 95 or Windows NT
(4.0 or higher) workstations, without a Novell file server present and without using
IP.
• Novell NetWare PSERVER on both bindery based and Novell Directory Services
(NDS).
• lpr/lpd over TCP/IP for UNIX platforms and Microsoft Windows.
• Raw sockets support over selectable TCP/IP port with filters for selected UNIX
environments.
• IP and IPX SNMP support of MIB-2 and DPI proprietary NIC MIB.
• SNMP support of standard MIB and the Mita private MIB.
• Flash memory to allow field upgrades, with caqpability for either IPX/SPX or
TCP/IP (FTP) download of executable code.
• Integral HTTP Server to allow monitoring and management of your EcoLAN
1000E from a standard IP Web Browser program.
• Management Access Program (MAP) to allow Windows-based HTML viewing for
monitoring and management of your EcoLAN 1000E.
• FTP printing to allow users to print directly from their IP browser or other FTP
client.
• FTP download allow users in the TCP/IP environment the ability of flash upgrading
their EcoLAN 1000E.
• Supports RS232/422 serial connections.

1.1 What’s in Your Package
The EcoLAN 1000E contains the following:
• EcoLAN 1000E Card
• This manual
• Three 3 1/2" diskettes which contain the following:
– Management Access Program (MAP) Diskette
- Windows Setup Utilities Diskette
– TCP/IP Utility Diskette
The MAP diskette also contains the ASN.1 coded SNMP MIB for the Network
Interface Card (NIC). This MIB can be loaded into a standard SNMP console to
provide SNMP access to all NIC parameters. The MIB is included in this manual as
Appendix C, NIC MIB Definition.
The Windows Setup utilities diskette contains the IPX Peer-to-Peer redirector and
DOS formatted versions of the BOOTP Lite and ntBOOTP Lite programs for
Windows (to assist entering IP parameters in a Windows environment).
The diskettes may contain a README file containing the latest information about the
installation and operation. Check for these files before going any further with
installation.
Instructions and software to perform flash downloads are provided with any update or
upgrade package and are not included in this manual.
