Quick Guide

Pre-installation task

1. Record the universal MAC address (00036E.....) from the white label on the back of the LAN Brick.

Installation

1. Power off printer.
2. Set the red switch on the rear panel of the LAN Brick to match the Token Ring Speed (4 Mbps or 16 Mbps) and printer cable type (Coax or Twinax). The white marker on the switch indicates the current setting.
   
   Possible positions of the switch:
   • COAX 4 - Coax 4 Mbps.
   • COAX 16 - Coax 16 Mbps.
   • TWINAX 4 - Twinax 4 Mbps.
   • TWINAX 16 - Twinax 16 Mbps.
3. Connect the network cable to the UTP or STP port on the rear panel of the PrintServer.
4. a. Coax - Connect the Coax printer cable and power on printer.
   b. Twinax - Connect the Twinax printer cable and set the device address as described below:
• Twinax for 3112, 3116, 3812, 3916, and 3930

  Set device address to 0 and power on printer.

• Twinax for 4028 and 64xx

  Power on printer and then set device address to 0.

5. Connect power supply to LAN Brick to power it on.

Configuration

1. For the LAN Brick device to work it must be assigned an IP Address, a Subnet Mask, and a Gateway Address. This is done by adding an entry for the device in the database of your BOOTP server.
   
   Note: You can use a special Boot File to provide the LAN Brick with default values for IP address, subnet mask and gateway address. This way the LAN Brick does not (except for the first time) require the presence of a BOOTP server.

Verify installation

1. Make sure both LAN Brick and printer is powered on.
2. The green LAN LED stays lit if the BOOTP server is configured correctly. If the LAN LED is flashing it is because the BOOTP server is not configured. You can also use the ping command to verify both physical LAN and IP network connectivity.
3. Generate a settings printout by pressing the TEST key once on the LAN Brick's rear panel. The test page(s) shows the internal settings of the LAN Brick.
   
   Note: Pressing the TEST key will break the connection between the printer and PSF.
