Configuration Tools

There are two parts to a NIC setup:

•

Configuring the NIC so it can be seen on the network. This

involves network-related settings (e.g., an IP address within

TCP/IP environments) configured through the built-in command

shell, npsh, or from the control panel.

•

Configuring a host with a new printer so it knows how to send

data to the NIC. Just being able to see the printer on the

network does not mean you can automatically print to it. A host

has to be told where to send the data.

NOTE: Some network environments do not require any network

settings to be configured on the NIC. However, all network

setups require configuration on the host end.

Printing A NIC Test Page

Always print an E-NET test page before performing any updates or

network configuration using the following steps:
