Communications (continued)
Displayed Menu Item Details
PARALLEL PORT B Same as Parallel Port A, for an optional Ethernet connection. If not
present, this displays ‘NOT INSTALLED’ when accessed.
 Note: If ‘LOCKED’ appears when attempting to access the NIC ADAPTER submenu, the printer may have
active print requests or multiple users may be trying to access these parameters (for example, during
simultaneous telenet sessions).
NIC ADAPTER♦
DMXNet and DMXrfNet are the optional Network Interface Card
(NIC) Adapters. If not present, this displays ‘NOT INSTALLED’
when accessed.
After making changes to these parameters, save the changes, exit
the menu system, and cycle the printer’s power ‘Off’ and ‘On’ for
the changes to take effect.
 Note: The boot process (taking up to two minutes) must be completed
at power-up. During this time, the NIC Adapter will not be accessible or
configurable; "DMXNET INACTIVE" will be indicated when in the menu
system or on a Configuration Label. After this process, you will be able to
configure the options provided using the menu system.
IP ADDRESS
The static IP address of the NIC Adapter in standard dotted-decimal
format.
SUBNET MASK
The static subnet assigned to the NIC Adapter.
GATEWAY
Specifies the network gateway address the NIC Adapter should use.
SNMPTRAP DESTINATION
Selects the Network IP address where all SNMP Traps will be sent.
If zeroed, no traps are sent.
PROTOCOL
Sets the network protocol to be recognized by the NIC Adapter.
NETWARE
Allows the printer to be driven from an NDS Novell Print Queue.
ENABLED
NetWare is enabled by default.
DISABLED
Ignores the NetWare protocol. Select this option if NetWare is not
needed.
DISCOVERY
This is the address discovery method used by the card if a static
address is not utilized. If no server for any of the discovery methods
is found, the static value specified above is used.
 Note: For faster NIC Adapter boot times, disable any discovery
methods not used.
