EPSON® Ethernet Card Supplement This guide includes new information about your EPSON® multiprotocol Ethernet interface card and software. If you are using the card with Apple® Macintosh a computers on AppleTalk ® or TCP/IP networks, please disregard the Macintosh section in your EPSON Type B Ethernet Interface Card User's Guide and follow the steps in this supplement. In addition to the operating systems mentioned in the Ethernet card User’s Guide, the card also supports Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.x. You’ll find the following information in this Supplement: CI Initializing the Ethernet card Cl Using the Ethernet Card with NetWare® on a WAN Q Using Macintosh with the Ethernet Card Q Using TCP/IP with Windows 95 CPD5719 Using Macintosh with the Initializing the Ethernet Card After you install the Ethernet card in a printer or reinstall it in a new printer, plug in the printer while pressing down the status sheet button for at least three seconds to initialize the card. I I 0: ,.Ds @ I I I I status sheet button You can print a status sheet after you finish initializing the card. Turn on the printer and press the status sheet button. The status sheet gives you information about the Ethernet card including the current configuration, serial number, and address of the card. Keep the status sheet; you need the information to configure the card. Using the Ethernet Card With NetWare on a WAN If you use the Ethernet card in a NetWare environment over a WAN (Wide Area Network) and connect it to a general phone line (including ISDN), the card may open the dial-up-router and packets may be sent to the WAN. To avoid this problem and possible phone fees, mask the vendor code in the dial-up-router as shown below: 00:00:48:xx:xx:xx For details on how to mask the vendor code, ask your network administrator or see your NetWare documentation. 2 The information on Macin sections: Cl Installing EPSON Net!

Click OK again and follow any on-screen instructions to enable TCP/IP. Configuring the Ethernet Card for TCP/IP and Windows 95 Make sure that the Ethernet card installed in the printer is on the same network segment as the computer you are using to configure the card. Also, find out that computer’s IP address and the IP address that you will assign to the Ethernet card. Note: lf you do not know how to find out your computer’s IP address or the IP address for the Ethernet card, ask your network administrator, or follow the instructions that follow this section. Follow these steps to configure the card: 1. Find the hardware address (node number) on the top of the status sheet you printed out after initializing the card. (See page 2.) If you need to, print out another status sheet. 2. Double-click the MS-DOS Prompt icon to open a DOS prompt. 3. Set up the routing table, using the following command: ping <IP address> for example: ping 127.0.1.1 4. Add an entry in the ARP table that assigns an IP address to the hardware address of the Ethernet card. Use the following command: arp -s <IP address> <node address> for example: arp -s 127.0.1.200 00:00:48:92:BD:9A 5. Start a continuous “ping” to the card, using the following command with the card IP address: 10 EPSON Ethernet Card Supplement ping <IP address> for example: ping 12' You see a message sim Reply Reply Reply Reply from from from from 127.0.1.21 127.0.1.2 127.0.1.2 127.0.1.2 This shows that the Etherne If you receive 4 lines of “Ret correctly.

If you receive 4 lines of “Request Timed Out,” The card is not set up correctly. Check to make sure the card is on the same network segment as the workstation you are using to configure it and that you typed in the correct IP and hardware addresses. Before you can print using TCP/IP, you need to install the Status Monitor and add a printer port. See your EPSON Status Monitor 2 User’s Guide for instructions. Note About IP Addresses and Subnet Masks If you don’t have a network administrator, you can assign IP addresses in the range of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254. Each computer or other device connected directly to the network must have a unique IP number. The subnet mask should be 255.255.255.0. However, you should not use these addresses if your network has a direct (rather than dial-up) connection to the Internet.
