Chapter 2 Configuration Tools 34 Configura tion T ools There ar e two parts to a NIC setup: • Conf igur ing t he NI C so it can be seen on the netwo rk. This involv es network-r elated setti ngs (e.g., an IP addre ss within TCP/IP enviro nments) configured through the b uilt-in command shell, n psh, or f rom the c ontrol p anel.
Configuration Using The Control Panel 35 4. Always pr int an E- NET test pag e before performing any updates or network c onfigura tion usin g the foll owing step s: • For P7000 print ers: a.
Chapter 2 Configuration Tools 36 • For T500 0e/SL5000 e printers : a. Take the pr inter offli ne. When the printe r LCD rea ds “OFFLINE,” press th e down arrow and ENTE R keys simulta neous ly to unl ock the c ontrol p anel. b. Press the “+” key until “P rinter Te sts” appe ars.
Configuration Using The Control Panel 37 5. Verify the curren t NIC firmware version n umber. NOTE: Firmware ex ists within the NIC a nd the printe r itsel f. Each firmwar e is a se parate en tity with its own versi on numb er. Please p ay clos e attentio n to the typ e of fir mware referenced in the remaining sections o f this doc ument.
Chapter 2 Configuration Tools 38 7. Put the pr inter on line and wait for th e “E-NET RE ADY” message to displ ay on the front pane l. Placing the print er online st arts the NIC IP A ddress and Net mask upda te process. This pr ocess will t ake several m inutes.
