Assigning an IP Address  
40  
Assigning an IP Address  
Before you can begin working with 10/100 Internal PS, you must get or assign an IP address  
for the 10/100 Internal PS device.  
There are three different ways to assign an IP address. Here is a list and a brief description of  
each method:  
• Web View — Browser-enabled method to assign an IP address.  
• DHCP — See your LAN administrator for more information.  
• Telnet — DOS command to assign an IP address.  
Important • Throughout the procedures in this chapter, there are some features that require the  
default User ID and/or default password. If you are prompted, these are the defaults:  
•
•
User ID: admin  
Password: 1234  
With Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)  
If your network uses DHCP, your 10/100 Internal PS device is assigned a temporary IP  
address.  
Note • Check with your Network Administrator to see whether your network uses DHCP.  
Without DHCP  
If your network does not use a dynamic IP addressing system (such as DHCP), you need to set  
a permanent IP address for the 10/100 Internal PS device.

Assigning an IP Address  
41  
In a Non-Windows Environment  
These steps can be used to assign an IP address using the control panel (LCD).  
Assigning an IP address from the printer LCD  
To assign an IP address from the printer LCD, complete these steps:  
1. Connect Ethernet before turning on the printer.  
2. Turn on (I) the printer and wait until the LCD says PRINTER READY. If you do not  
have a network cable in the port, the 10/100 Internal PS prints the configuration label  
when it is ready.  
3. On the printer control panel, press SETUP/EXIT.  
4. On the printer control panel, press PREVIOUS until you reach the NETWORK  
SETTINGS menu item.  
5. You can edit any of the following network settings in order to communicate with any  
10/100 Internal PS in your network environment.  
Important • To change any of these settings, you need to enter the printer password. The  
default password is 1234.  
•
ip resolution (dynamic, permanent): The printer menu item IP RESOLUTION  
must be set to PERMANENT if attempting to assign the IP address from the  
control panel.  
•
•
•
default gateway (default setting of 000.000.000.000)  
subnet mask (default setting 255.255.255.0)  
ip address (if initial default setting is 0.0.0.0, after 2 minutes this defaults to  
192.168.254.254)  
•
ip protocol (gleaning only, RARP, BOOTP, DHCP, DHCP and BOOTP, all)

Assigning an IP Address  
42  
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.  
Important • This applies to any TCP/IP-capable workstation/host networked with the Brady  
printer. Both, the workstation/host and the 10/100 Internal PS, must be on the same network  
segment.  
Before you can Telnet to the 10/100 Internal PS and configure it, you must first assign the  
10/100 Internal PS a temporary IP address.  
Static Route  
To use this method, complete these steps:  
1. Turn on (I) the printer and wait for 2 minutes to allow for the device to complete the  
self-test.  
During this time, the 10/100 Internal PS performs an address broadcast. If no address is  
assigned to the unit (via DHCP or Bootp), it uses a default address. The default address for  
10/100 Internal PS is 192.168.254.254. Print the 10/100 Internal PS configuration  
label to confirm the address. For details, see Before You Begin on page 34.  
2. You can use the route addcommand to place the default IP address into the  
workstation's network routing table.  
Example • In the next step, **** is the IP address on the 10/100 Internal PS  
configuration label.  
3. At the workstation/host command prompt (in Windows, at the DOS prompt), type:  
route add **** "IP address of the workstation" 0  
Note • The zero (0) placed at the end of the “route add” command is optional on some  
systems.  
4. Telnet to the 10/100 Internal PS by typing:  
"Telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"  
(where xxx.... is the IP addres of the printer).  
The password is 1234.  
5. At this point, you can alter the settings as desired. When complete, do a reset and allow  
the 10/100 Internal PS self-test to complete before proceeding with any communications  
activity.

Assigning an IP Address  
43  
Gleaning  
A method by which the 10/100 Internal PS uses the IP address of the first ping packet that is  
sent to its hardware address.  
Note • Gleaning works only on local subnets at routers. It does not pass Address Resolution  
Protocol (ARP) broadcasts.  
To use this method, complete these steps:  
1. Add an entry to the ARP table that assigns an IP address to an Ethernet (hardware)  
address.  
The syntax for this command is:  
arp -s "temporary ipaddress of print server" "MAC Address  
(print server hardware address)" arp -s <temporary ip  
address> <MAC Address>  
Example • You would type:  
arp -s 10.3.50.59 00-07-4d-68-1D-B9-86  
2. Power cycle the printer.  
3. As the printer reboots, begin a continuous ping to the address assigned previously.  
Note • Most UNIX systems use a continuous ping.  
To use a continuous ping from a Windows host, you must issue the command:  
ping -t "ipaddress".  
4. When the 10/100 Internal PS begins to respond, stop the ping activity.  
In Windows, Ctrl + C halts the pinging.  
5. Telnet to the 10/100 Internal PS and assign the appropriate IP address, subnet mask, and  
gateway, if applicable.  
6. Once this is complete, reset the 10/100 Internal PS.  
For details on resetting the 10/100 Internal PS, see Reset on page 30.

identifies which device becomes the active print server when multiple print servers are  
installed.

Unable to Print  
If you are having problems printing, verify that there is communication between the  
10/100 Internal PS and the printer. Suggestions include the following:  
• Ping the printer to determine the ability to communicate with the printer. See Ping the  
Printer.  
• Or open a Telnet session and send a ZPL command to print a configuration label. See  
Telnet on page 85 for more information.  
• Check obvious error conditions such as head open, out of media, out of ribbon, etc.  
• If problems persist, contact Technical Support.  
Ping the Printer  
To ping the printer, complete these steps:  
1. Open a DOS window.  
To open a DOS window, click on Start > Run.  
2. In the Open text box, type: cmd  
3. From the DOS prompt, type:  
ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx  
where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxxis the IP address of the print server  
4. See Figure 33. You see a reply from the print server indicating a connection.  
Figure 33 • Example of a Successful Ping  
If the issue is a communication problem, you would have received an error message.

Telnet  
Open a telnet session to send a ZPL command from a DOS prompt. This procedure can be  
used when running Vx.15.x or later firmware. In this example, a ZPL II command is used to  
cause a label to print.  
Note • You do not need to open a telnet session if you pinged the printer using the previous  
procedure. The purpose of these two procedures is to identify whether your PC can  
communicate with your printer.  
To open a telnet session on your PC, complete these steps:  
1. Open a DOS window.  
To open a DOS window, click on Start > Run.  
2. In the Open text box, type: cmd  
3. From the DOS prompt, type:  
telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 9100  
where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxxis the IP address of the print server.  
This will connect your PC to the 10/100 Internal PS through the parallel port of the printer.  
4. Enter ~WC.  
This ZPL command will print a configuration label on your printer.  
5. Click the X in the upper right-hand corner of the window to exit.  
If the configuration label prints, the issue is not a communication problem between the printer,  
the print server, or the PC.

Print Protocols  
FTP  
88  
FTP  
Embedded within the 10/100 Internal PS is an FTP server application that processes file  
transfers from a host computer to the printer.  
If the printer is on a network, label formats can be generated and data can be transferred  
without setting up a print queue.  
To send information to the printer in a Windows environment, try this exercise:  
1. In Notepad, generate the following ZPL II code:  
^XA  
^FO100,100  
^CF0,55^FDBrady Corporation^FS  
^XZ  
2. Save the file with the name: c:\test.txt.  
3. Open the MS-DOS Command Prompt and type:  
ftp <IP of 10/100 PS>  
Example • If the IP address of your 10/100 Internal PS device is 12.3.4.123, you  
would type:  
ftp 12.3.4.123  
This opens a session with the FTP server.  
Note • The default user name is blank.  
4. Type your user name and press Enter.  
5. Type:  
put c:\test.txt  
This transfers test.txtto the printer, and the printer generates a label.  
6. To terminate the FTP session, type:  
quit

Print Queues  
Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD)-Style Print Queue  
90  
Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD)-Style Print Queue  
BSD is a version of the UNIX OS that includes TCP/IP.  
Configuring the Print Queue  
For remote BSD-style LPD printing, add the 10/100 Internal PS as a remote printer in the  
/etc/printcap database to each host printing to the 10/100 Internal PS. You can add printcap  
options as needed. If you are unfamiliar with these options, consult the printer documentation.  
Important • You must be logged in as root.  
The entry looks similar to this:  
local_print_queue_name|[printer_model_and_manufacturer]:\  
:lp=:mx#0:rm=BradyConnect_name:\  
:rp=remote_print_queue_name:\  
:sd=path_to_spool_directory:lf=just log_file_name  
local_print_queue_name— This defines the name of the printcap entry. It is used by  
the LPR/LPD utilities to specify which printcap entry is being referenced. Additional printcap  
entries can be added as needed for different queue types. Each entry must have a unique  
local_print_queue_name and a different spool directory to work properly. When you are ready  
to print, use the local_print_queue_name that matches the data type of the file to be printed.  
BradyConnect_name— This is the name (alias) of the BradyConnect 10/100 Internal PS.  
This must be the same name as entered in the /etc/hosts file or your NIS or DNS system.  
An IP address may also be used here.  
remote_print_queue_name— This entry determines the BradyConnect port where the  
print job will be printed and optionally specifies ASCII printing that must end for LF1.  
path_to_spool_directory— This is the path to a directory where the print jobs will  
be spooled for this queue. You must create a unique spool directory for each printcap entry.  
log_file_name— This is the path to a file where error information from the LPD will be  
logged.  
Example • Your printcap entries might look similar to this:  
Ascii_files|form.feed.Queue_on_Port_1:\  
:lp=:mx#0:rm=pserver1:rp=MYQUEUELF1:\  
:sd=/usr/spool/myqueuelf1:\  
:lf=/usr/spool/myqueuelf1/queue.log  
Important • Each printcap entry must have a different spool directory to work properly.

Configuring Operating System V Queue for BradyConnect Printing  
This section describes the configuration of the printing system on the UNIX operating system.  
For clarity and brevity, the following specific names are used to represent general devices or  
concepts.  
lj4— The local queue name on the UNIX system to which you want 10/100 Internal PS  
print jobs directed.  
BBP81PRINTER— The host name or IP address of the remote system that is the  
10/100 Internal PS device. For example, to Telnet to the 10/100 Internal PS and invoke the  
10/100 Internal PS configuration utility, you would enter:  
Telnet BBP81PRINTER  
A host name is not required for the 10/100 Internal PS — the IP address can be used.  
yourqueuename— This is the name of the queue on the BradyConnect and must end with  
LF1.  
Prerequisites  
Before you proceed, the following prerequisites must be met:  
• The name BBP81PRINTER and the IP address assigned to the 10/100 Internal PS are in  
the /etc/hosts file on the UNIX system.  
• The LPD must be running on the UNIX system.  
Spool Print Job Configuration  
To configure the UNIX machine so users can spool print jobs to the PCL print  
queue on the BradyConnect named BBP81PRINTER, complete these steps:  
1. Log in to the UNIX machine as root.  
2. Type:  
lpsystem -t bsd BBP81PRINTER  
3. Type:  
lpadmin -p lj4 -s BBP81PRINTER!yourqueuename - I any  
4. Type:  
accept lj4  
5. Type:  
enable lj4  
6. Try printing by typing the command:  
lp -d lj4 [filename]

Frequently Asked Questions  
94  
What if a print job makes it to the queue, but never leaves the queue? The label  
does not print. These are the things to check:  
• Confirm that the printer is turned on and receiving power.  
• Confirm that the network cable is plugged in and that you can ping the printer.  
• If that does not solve the issue, it is likely that there was a misconfiguration while creating  
the queue. The queue must be recreated verifying the following:  
•
•
Confirm that you use the print server’s valid IP address.  
If you are using a UNIX or AS/400 host, there is an option for the remote queue name.  
There is only one valid response to use: PORTLF1.  
•
•
If Windows does not have LPR installed, the above required option should be left  
blank.  
See the documentation for other operating system specific queue creation.  
What are the minimum requirements to network a printer?  
• Cat-5 network cable with RJ45 connector  
• 10/100 Internal PS  
• Hub or Switch  
•
If a hub or switch is NOT used, you need a cross-over cable.  
• Workstation running a TCP stack with print services installed.  
What is the default User ID and password for the print server?

Frequently Asked Questions  
95  
What are my network connectivity options based on when using a  
10/100 Internal PS?  
It depends on your environment, but the print server accepts print jobs in any of the following  
ways:  
• FTP — ZPL/EPL files can be sent to the printer as standard ASCII files via an FTP client.  
• HTTP — Using the script option on the printers Directory web page, you can type ZPL  
into a specified location of the Web browser and send it to the printer.  
• LPR/LPD — Sometimes referred to as queue-based printing. LPR/LPD is the standard in  
network printing. Most TCP/IP operating systems are compatible with this option.  
• Raw socket connection — You can connect to the printer directly via the network,  
bypassing everything in between. This option is commonly used to integrate ZPL/EPL into  
existing programs, such as VB scripts.  
• POP3 — With proper configuration, you can place valid label format instructions into the  
body of an email, and it will print. The print server periodically checks this email box at  
the specified intervals and prints the body of the message.

BOOTP BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) is a protocol that lets a network client configure  
automatically. It can automatically configure any of the following information: IP address,  
gateway, subnet, system name, name server, and more. It automatically assigns the necessary  
settings from a pool of pre-determined addresses for a certain duration of time. BOOTP is the  
basis for a more advanced network manager protocol, the DHCP (Dynamic Host  
Configuration Protocol).  
BradyConnect Allows you to connect and control your bar code printers anywhere and  
anytime.  
BradyConnect 10/100 Print Server An Ethernet connectivity solution.  
broadcast In a network, a situation when all destinations on the network receive a given  
packet.  
client A workstation or PC in a client/server environment.  
community For SNMP, a relationship between an agent and a set of SNMP managers that

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) DHCP is an alternative to another  
network IP management protocol, Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP). Like BOOTP, DHCP can  
configure an IP address, gateway, subnet, system name, and name server. When speaking  
about the 10/100 Internal PS, BOOTP, and DHCP configure the same options.  
delete bytes This number is used to remove characters from the beginning of every job sent  
to the logical printer. The value for delete bytes can range from 0 to 255.  
dynamic A dynamic configuration, as the name implies, means that it changes. BOOTP and  
DHCP offer time-based leases for the configurations they assign. Their changes depend on the  
time-based lease, and how often the printer itself is offline and online again. A dynamic  
configuration can include BOOTP or DHCP.  
Ethernet A widely used local area network system based on the IEEE 802.3 standard.  
firmware Software routines that are stored in ROM (Read Only Memory). This is typically  
part of a device, such as a printer or 10/100 Internal PS.  
FTP File Transfer Protocol, a TCP/IP-related protocol for transferring files between devices  
on a network.  
Flash memory A type of memory that allows read-and-write operations, but permanently  
stores data when the power is turned off. Useful for storing firmware because it can be easily  
updated by downloading new code.  
gateway A device that converts one higher-level network protocol to a different higher level  
protocol.  
gleaning A temporary, local configuration option. Gleaning lets you add the address of the  
device you want to configure to your local workstation’s ARP table. This configuration is not  
permanent and is valid only from the workstation from which you entered the ARP  
information. After the information is entered into the workstation’s ARP table, the user  
follows up with a Telnet session to enter the information permanently.  
IP Internet Protocol, a packet-based protocol used for delivering data across networks.  
IP address A network address used by the TCP/IP protocol.  
JetAdmin A Hewlett-Packard printer management program available for NetWare and  
TCP/IP.  
logical Refers to conceptual rather than physical. For example, a computer might have a  
single physical connection to the network (an Ethernet adapter card), but could have logical  
connections to several other devices on the network.  
LPD LPD stands for Line Printer Daemon; it is the part that receives and processes the  
request. A "daemon" is a server or agent.  
MAC Address Media Access Control. Ethernet address that corresponds to the assigned IP  
address.
