Getting Started Before You Begin Before You Begin 10/100 PS offers many features, but how you access and work with them is dependent on your environment. Default User ID and Password Throughout the procedures in this document, there are some features that require the default User ID and/or default password. If you are prompted, these are the defaults: • User ID: admin • Password: 1234 Printing a Configuration Label Before you begin, you need to get information from the 10/100 PS configuration label.
PAGE 29
Getting Started Before You Begin Figure 6 • 10/100 PS Configuration Label 3. From the configuration label, you need to look for these numbers: • ADDRESS (IP address) • SUBNET MASK • DEFAULT GATEWAY • SERIAL NUMBER • HARDWARE ADDRESS (MAC address) 4. On the configuration label that prints out for your 10/100 PS device, circle the aforementioned settings. You can now proceed to Assigning an IP Address on page 30. 02/01/2011 ZebraNet ® 10/100 Print Server User Guide 47619L-006 Rev.
PAGE 30
Getting Started Assigning an IP Address Assigning an IP Address Before you can begin working with 10/100 PS, you must get or assign an IP address for the 10/100 PS device. The four different ways to assign an IP address are: • ZebraNet Bridge • DHCP • Printer LCD • Telnet Important • For specific information on the default User ID and/or default password, see Default User ID and Password on page 28.
PAGE 31
Getting Started Assigning an IP Address with DHCP Assigning an IP Address with DHCP Assigning an IP Address via ZebraNet Bridge ZebraNet Bridge may be used to set the IP address. Refer to the ZebraNet Bridge Enterprise User Guide for more detailed information. Assigning an IP address from the Printer LCD These steps can be used with all printers. However, the liquid crystal display (LCD) instructions are for printers with a control panel (also known as an LCD).
PAGE 32
Getting Started Assigning an IP Address with DHCP Assigning an IP address via a Telnet session 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 PS, must be on the same network segment. Before you can Telnet to the 10/100 PS and configure it, you must first assign the 10/100 PS a temporary IP address.
PAGE 33
Getting Started Assigning an IP Address with DHCP Gleaning A method by which the 10/100 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 34
Getting Started Setting and Monitoring Alerts Setting and Monitoring Alerts It is important to understand the relationship between the 10/100 PS and the printer when you are establishing alerts. Here are the relationships you need to be aware of: • Non-ZebraLink-enabled printers — can only send alerts on a specific set of printer errors that are reported in the IEEE 1284 protocol. • ZebraLink-enabled printers — ZebraLink allows for the printer to send alerts outside of the IEEE 1284 protocol.

5 Using Printing Protocols In this chapter, you are given steps to set up your 10/100 PS to support Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and File Transfer Protocol (FTP). Contents IPP . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 54 FTP . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
PAGE 54
Using Printing Protocols IPP IPP Important • You must have IPP support on your system. Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) is an application-level protocol used for distributed printing over the Internet. Using IPP from any standard IPP client, you can transfer jobs to a printer that is connected to your ZebraNet 10/100 PS device and the Internet. Important • IPP support is not available on all 10/100 PS printers. To be certain you are running the latest version of firmware, visit http://www.zebra.com.
PAGE 55
Using Printing Protocols FTP FTP Embedded within the 10/100 PS is an FTP server application that processes file transfers from a host computer to the printer. If the printer is on a network, label formats can be generated and data can be transferred without setting up a print queue. To send information to the printer, perform these steps: 1. Open a command prompt and type: ftp Example • If the IP address of your 10/100 PS device is 12.3.4.123, you would type: ftp 12.3.4.

Hardware Troubleshooting Troubleshooting the 10/100 PS Troubleshooting the 10/100 PS Resetting to Factory Default Note • You must have an active network cable connected to the 10/100 PS device to default the device using the Test button. To reset the 10/100 PS configuration parameters to the factory defaults, press the Test button and hold it in while turning on the printer. Keep the test button pressed until the Status Indicator light turns green, then release the test button.

Hardware Troubleshooting Troubleshooting the 10/100 PS 3. Flashing red indicates the Power On Self-Test (POST) is in progress. • If an active network cable is connected and the LED is solid red for more than 30 seconds, the 10/100 PS has failed the POST. If the failure is not severe, the 10/100 PS attempts to print a configuration label on the printer. A failed POST may be a connection to a malfunctioning 10/100 PS device. 1.

Hardware Troubleshooting Troubleshooting the 10/100 PS ZebraNet Bridge Discovery or Configuration Problems If you are having problems using ZebraNet Bridge to discover or configure the unit, check the following: • Verify there is not a router between the workstation running ZebraNet Bridge and the 10/100 PS. Because the 10/100 PS does not have an IP address, TCP/IP communication cannot be started across a router. Run ZebraNet Bridge on the same subnet as the 10/100 PS.
