Configuring Extended Systems (ESI) Devices

Intuit Eclipse supports the ESI Pocket Print Server and ESI Card.

The following procedures describe how to:

• Configure an ESI device from Windows.

• Configure an ESI Device from AIX-Unix.

• Change ESI Print Server Configuration Settings.

• Restore the ESI Pocket Print Server to Factory Defaults.

Configuring an ESI Device from Windows Using ExtendView for

TCP/IP

The following information about using Extended Systems ExtendView for TCP/IP (version 2.11

or higher) was obtained from the Extended Systems web site

(http://www.troygroup.com//wireless/support/xtndfw.asp). You will need to download

EXTENDVIEW 2000 under Utilities, run the wizard, and select the default view option.

Using factory default settings, the printer server first attempts to determine its IP address using

DHCP, RARP, BOOTP, or Gleaning. If the print server does not resolve its IP address within

two minutes of power up, it defaults to 198.102.102.154. This address should only be used

temporarily.

Note: The easiest method for assigning an IP address using a Windows computer

(once the print server has defaulted to its temporary IP address) uses

ExtendView. ESI provides this software with the device.

For more detailed explanations of settings, please refer to the documentation issued with the ESI

device, or use the online help system available with the ExtendView application.

To assign an IP address on your print server using ExtendView for TCP/IP:

1. Start the ExtendView utility and double-click the device you are trying to configure.

Locate the hardware address of the ESI device, as follows:

• Use the hardware serial number of the device. It starts with 00:40:68 and is followed

by 6 more digits. External devices have this address printed near the serial number on

the back of the card. Internal devices display this number on your Windows printers

configuration page.

Note: Extended Systems does not consistently print the hardware addresses on

ESI devices. However, the serial number for the device is actually the hex

value of the hardware address. For example, if you open the Windows

Calculator program, select Scientific from the View menu, type in the

serial number, and click Hex, the hardware address appears.
