Network Configuration

The NetBIOS IP or NetBEUI protocols are recommended for setup on a

Microsoft network. The EtherWind also supports the SMB protocol, so it auto-

matically appears in the Windows Network Neighborhood and can be managed

using standard operating system utilities.

Note: The workstation will automatically use NetBIOS IP if TCP/IP is enabled

on it. It will use NetBEUI only if TCP/IP is not available.

Setting the IP Address (not required if using NetBEUI)

If you plan to use the NetBIOS IP protocol, you must first configure an IP

address into your print server. If you are using the NetBEUI protocol, you do not

need to have an IP address.

Configuring the Print Server

1. Determine the domain that the print server resides on (the domain name is

sometimes referred to as the "Workgroup Name").

2. Run the XAdmin32 utility and select the print server to be configured.

3. Select the NetBIOS tab, and enter the domain name.

Note: By default, Microsoft networks use the domain name WORKGROUP, so

if no specific domain name has been defined for this network the name WORK-

GROUP can be used.
