The transmissionspeed is set by autonegotiation. LEDs are located above the RJ 45 plug, showing thenetwork situation [5][6][7].[5] Position of the signal LEDs at 64-xx, DPM, PEM, ALX 92x (each Gen. 2).A LED red lights = Printer is connected to networkB LED yellow flashes = Network trafficC LED green lights = High transmission rate (100 Mbit/s)[6] Position of the signal LEDs at AP 5.4, AP 7.t, ALX 73x and 64-xx, DPM, PEM, ALX 92x (each Gen. 3)A LED yellow lights = Printer is connected to network; LED flashes =Network trafficB LED green lights = High transmission rate (100 Mbit/s)[7] Position of the signal LEDs at AP 5.4 Gen. II and AP 5.6.A LED yellow lights = Printer is connected to network; LED flashes =Network trafficB LED green lights = High transmission rate (100 Mbit/s)MAC Address An internationally unique MAC (Media Access Control) address is required for Ether-net operation. It consists of 6 bytes and is usually separated by colons or hyphens(hexadecimal, e.g. 00:0a:44:02:00:49 or 00-0a-44-02-00-49). The first 3 bytes areconstant 00:0A:44 (Novexx code), the last 3 bytes vary for each device. The productmanufacturer is responsible for the allocation of the MAC addresses.IP Address In the printer software a TCP/IP protocol stack is implemented, i.e. for network purpos-es the device requires an IP address along with the MAC address. IP-addresses arealways displayed as 4 bytes separated by dots (e.g. 192.168.1.99). IP addresses areassigned by the network operator, as a rule the network administrator. MAC and IP addresses originate from different protocol layers and are generallyindependent of each other.Further information about TCP/IP can be found in the abundance of literature on thesubject.ABCA BBA
