Windows NT Installation
5.1 Preparation
The FPS-5P-D supports TCP/IP, IPX/SPX
and NetBEUI protocols through the Network Print Port when under Windows NT.
Please make sure that the following steps have been completed before proceeding with
installation under Windows NT.
Note:
The FPS-5P-D also supports
Windows NTs LPR Port
Printing through the TCP/IP protocol. To install the FPS-5P-D through LPR Port
Printing, please see Chapter 9 Windows NT/2000/UNIX TCP/IP LPR Port Printing Installation for details.
Select A Desired Protocol
TCP/IP
- The TCP/IP Protocol must be installed. For further
information, please read TCP/IP
Protocol Installation section
in this chapter.
Note:
If TCP/IP protocol is chosen,
please see Assign an IP
Address to the FPS-5P-D section
before proceeding with the installation.
IPX/SPX
- The NWLink IPX/SPX Compatible Transport must be installed.
For further information, please read NWLink IPX/SPX Compatible Transport Installation
section in this chapter.
Note: If you are installing
your FPS-5P-D in a multi-segmented network, please refer to the Multi-segmented Environment Installation
section in Chapter 11 before proceeding.
NetBEUI
- The NetBEUI protocol must be installed. For further
information, please read NetBEUI
Installation section
in this chapter.

5.1.4 Assigning an IP
Address to the FPS-5P-D
Installing the FPS-5P-D with TCP/IP
protocol through Network Print Port requires setting up the FPS-5P-D an IP address and
other related TCP/IP settings before the FPS-5P-D can function. You can select the
following two methods to specify an IP address the FPS-5P-D.
- Use the Network Print Monitor utility.
- Manually specify (using DOS commands).
5.1.5 Using the Network
Print Monitor Utility
Please refer to the following section
about TCP/IP Configuration in section 4.2.1.
5.1.6 Manually Specify an
IP Address
For the purpose of explanation, please
assume the FPS-5P-Ds IP
address is 192.72.214.230 and its Node ID is 00:40:01:05:01:8C (The Node ID of your
FPS-5P-Ds Node ID can be
found on the back of the FPS-5P-D unit).
Double-check to see that the TCP/IP protocol and Microsoft
TCP/IP printing components are pre-installed in NT 4.0. If necessary, install these
components before proceeding.
- At the DOS prompt, type the following command to
create a static ARP cache entry in the NT server to associate the FPS-5P-Ds IP address with its node address:
arp -s 192.72.214.230
00-40-01-05-01-8C
- Ping the FPS-5P-D by typing the following command
and the FPS-5P-D should provide responses:
ping 192.72.214.230
- Type tftp 192.72.214.230 get config.txt
- Open the config.txt by your editor
to modify the BoxIPAddress field from 0.0.0.0 to 192.72.214.230
(FPS-5P-Ds IP address).
When done, save the new config.txt.
- Save the new config.txt
configuration file back to the FPS-5P-D by typing the following command :
tftp 192.72.214.230 put config.txt
- Restart the FPS-5P-D and Done.
5.2 Windows NT Installation Procedure
Please perform the steps as follows to
ensure a smooth installation:
- Run Setup from the
FPS-5P-Ds NetWare, Windows
95/98/NT/2000 Setup CD-ROM in the directory "/utility".
- The Network Print Monitor for Windows NT Setup
will then appear. Click Next.
- A message reading, Setup is complete. You may add the Network Print Port by using the
"PSAdmin will appear.
Click OK.
- Click Start, point to Settings, and
