IPX Protocol Notes
When using peer to peer printing over IPX, Novell operation must remain enabled on
the EcoLAN 3000E, even if traditional NetWare printing facilities are not being used.
On power up, the EcoLAN 3000E checks the network to see if there is Novell activity.
If there is, it will use the same frame type and the local network number for IPX peer
to peer that it senses for Novell. If the 3000E does not see any Novell activity, it will
use 802.2 on 802.3 as the frame type and will assign itself a network number of 0. The
frame type and network number in use are reported on the EcoLAN 3000E Network
Status Page.
If the 3000E is moved from a site that had active Novell servers to a site that does not,
the unit should be reset to factory defaults to clear the frame type and network number
information. Reset to factory defaults can be done with MAP or a with a standard web
browser over TCP/IP.
5.4.2.3 Configuration of Peer to Peer Printing over IP
Windows 95/98 and NT 4.0 TCP/IP Protocol Installation
Each PC that will use peer to peer printing over IP must have the TCP/IP protocol
installed and configured with a valid IP address. If the TCP/IP protocol is not
currently installed, then use of the IPX protocol is recommended, however,
instructions for TCP/IP protocol installation are in the Windows 95/98 LPR Printing
and Windows NT 4.0 LPR Printing sections.
EcoLAN 3000E IP Address Configuration
The 3000E must be configured for TCP/IP communication. Please refer to section 5.7
for instructions.
5.7 EcoLAN 3000E TCP/IP Configuration from Windows.
IP Peer to Peer Printing Software Installation
The peer to peer printing software should be installed on each Windows 95/98 PC or
Windows NT 4.0 workstation that will use peer to peer printing services.
The IP Peer to Peer Printing setup program may be launched from the same Acrobat
.PDF files which were used to access this manual or may be run directly from the CD
ROM using the following procedure:
1. Insert the CD ROM included with the EcoLAN 3000E.
2. Click on the Windows 95/98 or NT 4.0 Start button, select Run, and type:
D:\IP-P2P\SETUP.EXE (This assumes D is the drive letter of your CD ROM.
Substitute the appropriate drive letter if necessary for your system.)
