4.1 <Network setup>4 Network setupThis chapter gives you step-by-step instructions for setting up yourprinter for network connections.This chapter includes:• Introduction• Supported operating systems• Configuring TCP/IP• Configuring EtherTalk• Configuring IPX frame types• Setting Ethernet speed• Restoring the network configuration• Printing a network configuration page• Using SetIP programIntroductionOnce you have connected your printer to a network with an RJ-45Ethernet cable, you can share the printer with other network users.You need to set up the network protocols on the printer to use it as yournetwork printer. Protocols can be set up by the following two methods:Via network administration programsYou can configure your printer’s print server settings and manage theprinter via the following programs that came with your printer:• SyncThru™ Web Admin Service:Web-based printer managementsolution for network administrators. SyncThru™ Web AdminService provides you with an efficient way of manageing networkdevices and lets you remotely monitor and troubleshoot networkmachines from any sith with corporate internet access. Download thisprogram from http://solution.samsungprinter.com.• SyncThru™ Web Service: A web server embedded to your networkprint server, which allows you to configure the network parametersnecessary for the printer to connect to various network environments.• SetIP: Utility program allowing you to select a network interface andmanually configure the IP addresses for use with the TCP/IP protocol.See Using SetIP program on page 4.3Via the control panelYou can set up the following basic network parameters through theprinter’s control panel:• Configure TCP/IP• Configure IPX frame types for NetWare• Configure EtherTalkSupported operating systemsThe following table shows the network environments supported by theprinter:• IPX/SPX: Internet Packet eXchange/Sequenced Packet eXchange• TCP/IP: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol• DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol• BOOTP: Bootstrap ProtocolConfiguring TCP/IPYour printer can be set up with a variety of TCP/IP network information,such as an IP address, a subnet mask, a gateway, and DNS addresses.There are several ways in which your printer can be assigned a TCP/IPaddress, depending on your network.• Static addressing: A TCP/IP address is assigned manually by thesystem administrator.• Dynamic addressing via BOOTP/DHCP (default): A TCP/IP addressis assigned automatically by the server.NoteBefore configuring TCP/IP, you need to set the networkprotocol to TCP/IP.Item RequirementsNetwork interface • 10/100 Base-TX• IEEE 802.11 b/g Wireless LAN (optional)Network operatingsystem• Novell NetWare 4.x, 5.x, 6.x• Windows 95/98/Me/NT 4.0/2000/XP/2003• Various Linux OS• Macintosh OS 10.3 (ML-3050), 8.6 ~ 9.2and 10.1 ~ 10.4 (ML-3051N, ML-3051ND)Network protocols • NetWare IPX/SPX• TCP/IP on Windows• EtherTalkDynamic addressingserver• DHCP, BOOTP
