Setting the EtherTalk Zone
While the preferred method of configuring the EtherTalk zone is
through CrownAdmin (see “Setting the EtherTalk Zone” in chapter 3,
“CrownAdmin for Macintosh”), the Zone Name menu allows you to
display and set the EtherTalk zone. Three options are available:
n Zone Part 1
n Zone Part 2
n Default
Zone Part 1 and Zone Part 2
Since most QMS Crown printers allow only 16 characters to display in
the message window, this menu offers two name options, Zone Part 1
and Zone Part 2, allowing the zone name to be a maximum of 32
characters. Zone Part 1 records the first 16 alphanumeric characters
of the zone name, and Zone Part 2 records the second 15 characters
of the zone name.
Menu Administration/Communications/Resident NIC/CrownNet/
EtherTalk/Zone Name/Zone Part 1, Zone Part 2
Administration/Communications/Optional NIC/CrownNet/
EtherTalk/Zone Name/Zone Part 1, Zone Part 2
Choices Up to 16 alphabetic characters.
Default The first zone found.
Effectivity Changes take effect as soon as the printer is put back on line.
Notes No entry validation is performed by the CrownNet interface. In
other words, zone names are validated for legal characters, not
for correct or valid EtherTalk zone names.
If you set an invalid zone name, the default zone will be used.
However, the invalid zone name is stored in non-volatile
memory.
Trailing spaces are not considered to be part of the zone
name.
