Introduction
The OkiLAN Internal Print Server is a fast 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T
network interface.
This network print server supports IEEE802.2, IEEE802.3, Ethernet-II
and SNAP and can detect those frame types automatically.
Also, it supports major protocols such as TCP/IP, IPX/SPX (NetWare),
EtherTalk and NetBEUI.
This section details the specification and several software utilities.
For multiple emulation printers, change the emulation in the Printer Menu
settings to Auto or PS before printing the self-diagnostic test and settings.

.

Configuration 12
Using Quick Setup
Quick Setup utility allows you to configure the print server easily and
simply without installing any software packages.
You can configure the following:
> Enable/disable TCP/IP, NetWare, EtherTalk, NetBEUI protocols.
> Set IP address, Subnet Mask and Gateway for TCP/IP manually or
by using DHCP.
> Set NetWare mode and create Queue/Print Server/Printer objects.
> Zone name and Port name for EtherTalk.
Configuration requires a PC with Windows 95/98/Me, Windows 2000
Advanced Server/Professional or Windows NT Server 4.0/Work-station
4.0, Windows XP running TCP/IP or IPX/SPX (NetWare).
This utility can only be used on a PC that can be connected to the network
with TCP/IP or IPX/ SPX.
This utility must be used on a PC that is located in the same segment as
the printer. To create a NetWare queue, NetWare Client 32 or
IntranetWare Client should be installed in your system.

Configuration 13
The following explanation uses Windows 98 as an example.
1. Insert the CD-ROM provided with your printer into the CD-ROM
drive. If the Menu Installer does not start automatically, click
Start→Run→Browse. Browse to your CD-ROM and click
Install→Οpen→OK.
2. Select [Network Software]
3. Select [Installation/Config].

Configuration 14
4. Select the [Admin Mgr/Quick Setup].
5. Select the language..
6. Select Quick Setup.

Configuration 15
7. Follow the on-screen instructions.
> The NetWare Client 32 or IntranetWare Client should be installed on the
PC used for the creation of network queues. Installation enables the user
to create network queues and perform other functions.
8. If the settings are correct, click [Execute]. The new settings are
transmitted to the network card but the network card is still operating
with pre-transmission settings.
9. Click [Finish] to validate the new settings. Depending on the model, the
printer may have to be switched off and on again.
Using a Web browser
If the print server is connected to the network using TCP/IP, its settings and
the printer menu settings can be configured using a Web browser, such as
Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 3.0 and higher, or Netscape Navigator
version 3.0 and higher. No guarantees are offered for other browsers. Refer to
the relevant manuals for details of how to launch and use the browser.
The network addresses used in this manual are shown as examples only.
Network addresses used in your installation must be generated from your own
network. To apply configuration changes using a Web browser, you will be
prompted for a username and password.The username is [root] and the default
password is the last six digits of the Ethernet address.
The following explanation uses Windows 95 and Microsoft Internet Explorer
version 4.0 as an example.

Configuration 16
1. Configure the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway for the
network card. Launch the Web browser, enter the IP Address of the
network interface card in [Address (Location/Position)] and press
the [Enter] key. The Printer Status screen is displayed.
2. Click on a tab to see a particular Category, then click the items you
want to change in the left column. For more details of
corresponding items in WEB and TELNET equivalents, see the
description in the Configurable Items and Default Values table
starting on page 46.
3. To ensure correct operation, follow the procedure below for the
appropriate network browser.
Microsoft Internet Explorer
a. Select [Internet Options] in the [Tools] menu.
b. Click on the [General] tab and click [Settings] in [Temporary
Internet files].
c. Select [Every visit to the page] in [Check for newer versions
of stored programs].
Netscape Navigator
a. Select [Settings] in the [Edit] menu
b. Click [Cache] in [Details].

Configuration 17
c. Select [Once per session] in [Document in cache is compared
to document on network].
If you change the window size of the browser immediately
after changing the configuration, [Security information] may
be displayed. Uncheck [Display this message next time] in the
dialogue.
4. After making changes, click [Submit].
5. Enter [root] in User name and your password (default is the last six
digits of the Ethernet address) in Password and click [OK].
6. After the new values are transmitted to the network card, the
following screen is displayed. If a different message is displayed,
check the settings.
For example: For Ethernet address 00:80:92:01:00:D2, a default password
is [0100D2]. The Ethernet address (MAC address) is displayed during the
self-diagnostic test.
The root password can be changed to allow you to configure the print
server and printer by using a Web browser. The default password is the
last six digits of the MAC address.

Configuration 18
To change the root password for configuration via a Web browser, access
[http://OKILAN IP address or hostname>/system_password.htm]. After
inputting the current root password, this screen is displayed:
Input a new root password in [New Admin Password] and [Confirm New
Admin Password] then select [Submit] button.
The root password for configuration via Web browser is different for
AdminManager/TELNET/FTP. These passwords can be set in
AdminManager or TELNET.
Standard Setup Using AdminManager
AdminManager is a powerful Microsoft Windows-based utility to
configure all print server functions by using a graphical user interface.
Configuration requires a PC with Windows 95/98/Me, Windows 2000
Advanced Server/Professional or Windows NT Server 4.0/Work-station
4.0, Windows XP running TCP/IP or IPX/SPX (NetWare).
This utility can only be used on a PC that can be connected to the network
with TCP/IP or IPX/ SPX and must be used on a PC that is located in the
same segment as the printer.
To create a NetWare queue, NetWare Client 32 or IntranetWare Client
should be installed on to your system.
The following explanation uses Windows 98 as an example.
