Security and Followup Management

While this guide focuses on the initial configuration of the IB-2x, this section is included to give a brief

explanation of security and available options for ongoing IB-2x management.

Password Security

An Admin password is used to control unauthorized modification of IB-2x settings. The factory default

is a blank Admin password. Unless an Admin password is defined, anyone with access through a web

browser or any of the IB-2x utilities may change the IB-2x settings. Therefore, defining an Admin

password is recommended.

WARNING: If the Admin password is forgotten, the only way to recover is to reset the IB-2x back to its

factory default condition (by using a jumper setting as described in the User’s Manual).

Web Browser

If the IB-2x is used on a TCP/IP network and has a valid IP address, it may be managed from any web

browser. The browser allows full configuration of all IB-2x settings, however, unlike the Quick Setup

wizard, the browser cannot create NetWare print objects. If a browser is used for NetWare configura-

tion, then NWAdmin must also be used to create the NetWare print objects.

Connect to the IB-2x with a web browser by entering the IP address as the URL, e.g. http://

206.129.6.54

The home page displays basic information about the printer and the IB-2x as well as the current status

of the printer and the current printer front panel display. Click the Refresh button to update the printer

LCD display.

Select a category from the navigation bar on the left to view and set values for that category. If the IB-

2x Admin password has been set, you will be prompted to enter it when accessing any of the screens

other than the home page. If no Admin password has been set, access to all other pages is unre-

stricted. The Admin password may be defined on the Security tab.

Front Panel Setup Firmware Requirements

Following are the printer firmware levels required for front panel setup capability. The firmware level of

the printer is listed as Software version on the printer status page.

FS/LS-800 version 38.01 or later FS/LS-1700+ version 40.00 or later

FS/LS-7000 version 25.07 or later FS/LS-3700+ version 32.02 or later

FS/LS-1000, 1200, 1750, 3750, 5800C, 5900C, 6300, 6700, 6900, 7000+, and 9000 all versions.

DP-1400, DP-1800, DP-2800+, DP-3600, Ci1100, KM-4230, and KM-5230,KM-6230 all versions.

IP Address Persistence

When the printer is turned off and back on will the IB-2x retain its IP address?

Temporary: If a temporary lease is obtained from a DHCP server, then the IP address is temporary.

That is, when the printer is turned off and back on, the IB-2x does not begin using its IP address until it

has negotiated with a DHCP server. Thus, if a DHCP server is not available, the IB-2x will not have an

IP address. This is necessary to prevent IP address conflicts in a DHCP environment.

Permanent: If an unlimited lease or address reservation is obtained from a DHCP server, or if set by

any method other than DHCP, then the IP address is permanent. That is, when the printer is turned off

and back on, the IB-2x will begin using its assigned IP address.
