Getting Started Before you begin %HIRUH \RX EHJLQ 10⁄100 PS offers many features, but how you access and work with them is dependent on your environment. Before you begin, you need to get information from the 10⁄100 PS configuration label. ! Important • Make sure the printer is turned off (O). 7R SULQW D 36 FRQILJXUDWLRQ ODEHO FRPSOHWH WKHVH VWHSV 1 Turn on (I) the printer and let it complete its power-up cycle. 2 Let the 10⁄100 PS complete its POST cycle.
Getting Started Before you begin A 10⁄100 PS configuration label prints. Your configuration label looks similar to this: 4 From the configuration label, you need to get these numbers: • ADDRESS (IP address) • SUBNET MASK • DEFAULT GATEWAY • SERIAL NUMBER • HARDWARE ADDRESS (MAC address) 5 On the configuration label that prints out for your 10⁄100 PS device, circle the above-mentioned settings. You can now proceed to Assigning an IP Address on page 16.
Getting Started Assigning an IP Address $VVLJQLQJ DQ ,3 $GGUHVV Before you can begin working with 10⁄100 PS, you must get or assign an IP address for the 10⁄100 PS device. ! Important • Throughout the step sequence in this chapter, there are some features that require the default User ID and/or default password.
Getting Started Assigning an IP Address 7R DVVLJQ DQ ,3 DGGUHVV XVLQJ =HEUD1HW 9LHZ FRPSOHWH WKHVH VWHSV 1 From the task bar, select Start>Programs>ZebraNet Utilities>ZebraNet View. ! Important • On the illustration that follows, take note of the H/W address column and Serial # column. Compare what you see in ZebraNet View with the configuration label you printed out.
Getting Started Assigning an IP Address 5 If your 10⁄100 PS does not have an IP address, complete these steps: • Find your 10⁄100 PS and right-click it. • In the small dialog that opens, enter an IP Address, click OK. • The ZebraNet View dialog opens. 7R VHW WKH VXEQHW FRPSOHWH WKHVH VWHSV 6 From the ZebraNet View menu bar, select PrintServer>Configuration. 7 Click the TCP/IP tab. 8 From the Print Server Configuration>TCP/IP tab, in the Subnet Mask text-box, type in your subnet mask.

Getting Started Assigning an IP Address • subnet mask (default setting 255.0.0.0) • ip address (if initial default setting is 0.0.0.0, after 2 minutes this defaults to 198.102.102.254 • ip protocol (gleaning only, rarp bootp, dhcp, dhcp and bootp, all) $VVLJQLQJ DQ ,3 DGGUHVV YLD D 7HOQHW VHVVLRQ If your environment is not Windows-based, this section is for you. However, this method can be used in a Windows environment, too.
Getting Started Assigning an IP Address Note • The zero (0) placed at the end of the "route add" command is optional on some systems. 4 Telnet to the 10⁄100 PS by typing: "Telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" The password is 1234. 5 When finished, you can alter the appropriate settings. When complete, do a reset and allow the 10⁄100 PS self test to complete before proceeding with any communications activity. *OHDQLQJ 7R XVH WKLV PHWKRG FRPSOHWH WKHVH VWHSV Note • Gleaning works only on local subnets at routers.
Getting Started Assigning an IP Address 4 When the 10⁄100 PS begins to respond, stop the ping activity. In Windows, Ctrl + C halts the pinging. 5 Telnet to the 10⁄100 PS and assign the appropriate IP address, subnet mask, and gateway if applicable. 6 Once this is complete, reset the 10⁄100 PS. For details on resetting the 10⁄100 PS, see Reset on page 104.
Getting Started Setting Alerts 6HWWLQJ $OHUWV It is important to understand the relationship between the 10⁄100 PS and the printer when you are establishing alerts.

Hardware Troubleshooting Troubleshooting the 10/100 PS • Verify that the printer has media and ribbon (if in thermal transfer mode). If the printer is showing any errors, it is unlikely that the 10⁄100 PS can send data to the printer. The LED continues to blink until the printer malfunction is resolved or until the printer is turned off (O). • Flashing red indicates the Power On Self Test (POST) is in progress.
