Integration of Ethernet Interface

The Ethernet interface of the printers is layed out as 10/100 Base T. The trans-

mission speed is set by autonegotiation. LEDs are located above the RJ 45

plug, showing the network situation [5][6][7].

[5] Position of the signal LEDs at 64-xx, DPM, PEM, ALX 92x (each Gen. 2).

A LED red lights = Printer is connected to network

B LELD yellow flashes = Network traffic

C LED green lights = High transmission rate (100 Mbit/s)

[6] Position of the signal LEDs at AP 5.4 red, AP 7.t, PM3000 and 64-xx, DPM, PEM, ALX 92x (each

Gen. 3)

A LED yellow lights = Printer is connected to network; LED flashes =Network traffic

B LED green lights = High transmission rate (100 Mbit/s)

[7] Position of the signal LEDs at AP 5.4 black and AP 5.6.

A LED yellow lights = Printer is connected to network; LED flashes =Network traffic

B LED green lights = High transmission rate (100 Mbit/s)

MAC Address An internationally unique MAC (Media Access Control) address is required for

Ethernet operation. It consists of 6 bytes and is usually separated by colons or

hyphens (hexadecimal, e.g. 00:0a:44:02:00:49 or 00-0a-44-02-00-49). The

first 3 bytes are constant 00:0A:44 (Avery code), the last 3 bytes vary for each

device. The product manufacturer is responsible for the allocation of the MAC

addresses.

IP Address In the printer software a TCP/IP protocol stack is implemented, i.e. for network

purposes the device requires an IP address along with the MAC address.

IP-addresses are always displayed as 4 bytes separated by dots

(e.g. 192.168.1.99). IP addresses are assigned by the network operator, as a

rule the network administrator.

¯ MAC and IP addresses originate from different protocol layers and are gen-

erally independent of each other.
