Getting Started
Assigning an IP Address
04/21/2009 ZebraNet PrintServer II User Guide 45537L-005
In a Non-Windows Environment
These steps can be used with all printers. However, the liquid crystal display (LCD)
instructions are for printers with an LCD.
To assign an IP address from the printer LCD, complete these steps:
1. Turn on the printer and allow 2 minutes for all systems to complete the self test. If you do
not have a network cable in the port, the
PSII prints the configuration label when it is
ready.
2. On the printer front panel, press SETUP/EXIT.
3. On the printer front panel, press PREVIOUS twice until you reach the network settings
menu item.
4. You can edit any of the following network settings in order to communicate with any PSII
in your network environment.
• ip resolution (dynamic, permanent) The printer menu item IP RESOLUTION
must be set to PERMANENT if attempting to assign the IP address from the front
panel.
• default gateway (default setting of 000.000.000.000)
• subnet mask (default setting 255.0.0.0)
• ip address (if initial default setting is 0.0.0.0, after 2 minutes this defaults to
198.102.102.254 or 192.168.254.254 — depends on firmware version)
• ip protocol (gleaning only, rarp bootp, dhcp, dhcp and bootp, all)
Assigning an IP Address via a Telnet Session
If your environment is not Windows-based, this section is for you. However, this method can
be used in a Windows environment, too.
The methods used for assigning an IP address with a Telnet session are Static Route and
Gleaning.
Before you can Telnet to the
PSII and configure it, you must first assign the PSII a temporary
IP address.
Important • Your PSII must have firmware 6.3 and higher and your Zebra printer must have
firmware x.10 or higher with an LCD.
Important • To change any of these settings, you need to use the default password: 1234.
Important • This applies to any TCP/IP capable workstation/ host networked with the Zebra
printer. Both the workstation/host and the PSII must be on the same network segment.
