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.

Introduction 1-2
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.

Introduction 1-3
1.2 Hardware/NOSRequirements
The EcoLAN 1000E hardware and software require the following:
Version of Protocol or
NOS
Novell NetWare Version 2.15, 3.1x, or 4.x.
Macintosh System 7 and 8.
UNIX, Windows, or LAN Server systems supporting lpr
over TCP/IP.
DEC ULTRIX 4.3 or 4.4, DEC OSF/1 2.0 or 3.0, Solaris
1.1.3 or 2.3, (SUN OS 4.1.3 or 5.3),
System V Release 4, HP-UX 9.01, IBM AIX 3.2.5, or SCO
UNIX 2 for DPI TCP/IP port 10001.
Software
Novell NetWare printing requires NetWare Capture,
NPRINT and PCONSOLE (later than 1.0) utilities.
The MAP utility requires Windows 3.1; Windows for
Workgroups 3.11; Windows NT 3.5 or later; or Windows 95.
AppleTalk printing requires printer PPD appropriate to the
printer.
TCP/IP setup and maintenance may be done with Telnet.
Monitoring and maintenance with HTTP requires a suitable
internet Web Browser program supporting HTML.
Hardware
Support for 10 megabit Ethernet networks: either 10Base2
(also known as ThinWire or Thinnet) or 10BaseT (twisted
pair) cables and hardware.
3 1/2" diskette drive on the workstation to accept Windows
or UNIX utilities.

Using the Management Access Program or a
Standard Web Browser
The Management Access Program (MAP) is a Windows-based HTML viewer
program linked with a proprietary bi-directional IPX channel program to allow access
to the EcoLAN 1000E’s HTML-based monitoring and maintenance capabilities. An
IP Web Browser also provides access to this capability. Either program allows you to:
• Configure your network protocols for the EcoLAN 1000E.
• Reset the EcoLAN 1000E remotely to either clear an error condition, or return the
print server to its factory default settings.
• Troubleshoot problems in the EcoLAN 1000E.
• Enable or disable the status sheet printout.
• Access a context-sensitive help menu that fully explains how to use each
Management Access Program feature.
Note: To be able to change parameter values with the Management Access Program or
the Web Browser, you must know the EcoLAN 1000E management password.
The factory default password is “sysadm”.
3.1 Where to Place the MAP Utility
The utility can be installed on any workstation hard drive or network drive.
3.2 How to Install MAP in Windows
The Management Access Program must be installed from Windows, it CANNOT be
installed from DOS. Use the following procedures to install:
1. Start Windows on your PC or workstation.
2. Insert the supplied PC diskette into the A: or B: drive.
3. For Windows 3.x, bring up the Windows Program Manager, select the File menu.
