Getting Started Assigning an IP Address Assigning an IP Address Before you can begin working with 10/100 Internal PS, you must get or assign an IP address for the 10/100 Internal PS device. There are four different ways to assign an IP address. Here is a list and a brief description of each method: • Web View — Browser-enabled method to assign an IP address. • ZebraNet View — Utility that remotely manages ZebraLink-enabled printers. • DHCP — See your LAN administrator for more information.
PAGE 44
Getting Started Assigning an IP Address Assigning an IP Address with DHCP To assign an IP address using ZebraNet View, complete these steps: 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 network configuration label you printed out. The ZebraNet View dialog opens: Figure 14 • ZebraNet View 2.
PAGE 45
Getting Started Assigning an IP Address Setting the Subnet To set the subnet, complete these steps: 1. From the ZebraNet View menu bar, select PrintServer > Configuration. 2. Click the TCP/IP tab. 3. From the Print Server Configuration > TCP/IP tab, in the Subnet Mask text-box, type in your subnet mask. 4. Confirm it is accurate, and click OK. The Print Server Configuration dialog opens.

PAGE 46
Getting Started Assigning an IP Address Setting the Default Gateway These steps are optional. To set the default gateway, complete these steps: 1. From the ZebraNet View menu bar, select PrintServer > Configuration. 2. Click the TCP/IP tab. 3. From the Print Server Configuration > TCP/IP tab, in the Default Gateway text-box, type in your default gateway. 4. Confirm it is accurate, and click OK.
PAGE 47
Getting Started Assigning an IP Address Assigning an IP Address via a Telnet Session If your environment is not Windows-based, this section is for you. However, this method can be used in a Windows environment, too. The methods used for assigning an IP address with a Telnet session are Static Route and Gleaning. Important • This applies to any TCP/IP-capable workstation/host networked with the Zebra printer. Both, the workstation/host and the 10/100 Internal PS, must be on the same network segment.
PAGE 48
Getting Started Assigning an IP Address Gleaning A method by which the 10/100 Internal PS uses the IP address of the first ping packet that is sent to its hardware address. Note • Gleaning works only on local subnets at routers. It does not pass Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) broadcasts. To use this method, complete these steps: 1. Add an entry to the ARP table that assigns an IP address to an Ethernet (hardware) address.

PAGE 116
Hardware Troubleshooting Troubleshooting the 10/100 PS Unable to Print If you are having problems printing, verify that there is communication between the 10/100 Internal PS and the printer. Suggestions include the following: • Ping the printer to determine the ability to communicate with the printer. See Ping the Printer. • Or open a Telnet session and send a ZPL command to print a configuration label. See Telnet on page 117 for more information.
PAGE 117
Hardware Troubleshooting Troubleshooting the 10/100 PS Telnet Open a telnet session to send a ZPL command from a DOS prompt. This procedure can be used when running Vx.15.x or later firmware. In this example, a ZPL II command is used to cause a label to print. Note • You do not need to open a telnet session if you pinged the printer using the previous procedure. The purpose of these two procedures is to identify whether your PC can communicate with your printer.

F Frequently Asked Questions This appendix provides a group of frequently asked questions (FAQs) about 10/100 Internal PS. FAQs Can the ZebraNet 10/100 Internal PS option work on a computer network that is running both TCP/IP and IPX protocols simultaneously? Yes. The ZebraNet 10/100 Internal PS runs all of its available protocols simultaneously. This means that the ZebraNet 10/100 Internal PS can run on mixed networks such as a network using Microsoft, and UNIX.
PAGE 126
Frequently Asked Questions What if a print job makes it to the queue, but never leaves the queue? The label does not print. These are the things to check: • Confirm that the printer is turned on and receiving power. • Confirm that the network cable is plugged in and that you can ping the printer. • If the previous bullets do not change the outcome, it is likely that there was a misconfiguration while creating the queue.
PAGE 127
Frequently Asked Questions What are my network connectivity options based on when using a 10/100 Internal PS? It depends on your environment, but the print server accepts print jobs in any of the following ways: • FTP — ZPL/EPL files can be sent to the printer as standard ASCII files via an FTP client. • HTTP — Using the script option on the printers Directory web page, you can type ZPL into a specified location of the Web browser and send it to the printer.
