and NetBEUI protocols through the Network Print Port when under Windows
2000. Please make sure that the following steps have been completed before proceeding with
installation under Windows 2000.
Note:
The FPS-5P-D also supports
Windows 2000s Standard
TCP/IP Port through the TCP/IP protocol.
Select A Desired Protocol
TCP/IP
- The Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) must be installed. For
further information, please read Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Installation section in this chapter.
Note:
If Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) 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/NetBIOS Compatible Transport Protocol
must be installed. For further information, please read NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS Compatible Transport Protocol
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.

6.1.4 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).
6.1.5 Using the Network
Print Monitor utility
Please refer to TCP/IP Configuration in
section 4.2.1.
6.1.6 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 Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
and Microsoft Standard TCP/IP Port components are pre-installed in Windows 2000. If
necessary, install these components before proceeding.
- At the DOS prompt, type the following command to
create a static ARP cache entry in the Windows 2000 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.
6.2 Windows 2000 Installation Procedure
Please perform the steps as follows to
ensure a smooth installation:
