Section I - Hardware Installation Solution a) Unplug the OkiLAN 6010e power adapter from the wall outlet. Remove the network cable. Plug the network cable back in until you hear a positive click. Check the other end of the cable in the same manner. Plug the OkiLAN 6010e back in. If it does not detect a cable, continue below. b) Verify the cable is a 10Base-T cable and it has an RJ-45 end. The network cable must have a cat-3 or higher rating. Silver Satin or flat ribbon cable is not adequate. c) Connect to a network that a currently working PC or print server is using. If the OkiLAN 6010e is still unable to detect the network cable, contact Techni- cal Support for assistance.
LED Display LED is flashing green slowly (1 timer/sec); the OkiLAN 6010e is trying to print a job. Problem The printer is malfunctioning or does not have sufficient paper or toner. Solution Verify that the printer is not showing any errors and has sufficient paper and toner. LED Display LED is solid orange for more than 30 seconds Problem The printer server has failed the Power On Self Test. Solution The OkiLAN 6010e will try to print a configuration sheet on the printer with more information. OKI OkiLAN 6010e User's Guide 1-11
Section I - Hardware Installation Failing the self test can be caused by any of the follow- ing: a) The printer is malfunctioning. Unplug the OkiLAN 6010e from the printer and unplug the power adapter. Reconnect the OkiLAN 6010e and the power adapter. If the OkiLAN 6010e still fails the self test, continue below. b) The OkiLAN 6010e power supply has failed or there is a hardware problem. Contact Okidata Customer Support for replacement information. LED Display The LED is alternately flashing orange and green for longer than two minutes. Problem The OkiLAN 6010e is in firmware download mode. This means it is waiting for new firmware to be sent before it will continue functioning normally.

Section II - Advanced Management Features
Overview Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) pro- vides network administrators with the ability to com- municate management functions between an SNMP manager and an SNMP agent. An SNMP manager is a user program the network administrator can use to manage SNMP agents. The manager can retrieve Get information from the agent or alter Set information on the agent. An agent can also send an unsolicited mes- sage Trap to a manager when it encounters an unusual condition. The OkiLAN 6010e is a fully functional SNMP agent and supports any standard SNMP management plat- form, including: + _ HP OpenView +. Novell NMS + Sun SunNet Manager + IBM NetView Private MIB OkiLAN 6010e SNMP support has been enhanced with a private MIB. It is accessible via SNMP over TCP/IP and IPX. This private MIB contains over 150 configura- tion and status variables for the network protocols, printer ports, network interface printer settings, and the overall OkiLAN 6010e status. Printer status traps such as on-line, off-line, detached printer and printer error are also provided. OKI OkiLAN 6010e User’s Guide I-5
Section II - Advanced Management Features The setting of certain variables causes an immediate firmware reset. These variables are listed in the private MIB under cmdReset. Note: If you attempt a reset while a job is printing, the job may not print successfully. Certain variables are critical, that is, they change a fundamental operating parameter of the OkiLAN 6010e. These variables are saved by the OkiLAN 6010e but are not actually used until it is power cycled or is reset. When any one of these variables is changed the variable genConfigDirty is automatically set to yes by the print server. This signifies a reset is required for all configuration changes to be made active. We recom- mend checking the genConfigDirty variable after using a MIB browser to make any configuration changes to the OkiLAN 6010e. If genConfigDirty is set to yes, then the cmdReset variable should also be set to yes. This will cause the OkiLAN 6010e to reset, make all con- figuration changes active on the OkiLAN 6010e and set both the cmdReset and genConfigDirty variables to no. These critical variables are listed in the private MIB under genConfigDirty. Traps Traps are unsolicited information from the SNMP agent. The OkiLAN 6010e uses a ColdStart trap to inform the manager it has been powered on or reset. An authentication failure trap is sent when the OkiLAN 6010e receives an SNMP trap GET or SET request with an incorrect community name. 1-6 OKI OkiLAN 6010e User's Guide
Section II - Advanced Management Features The OkiLAN 6010e sends printer traps when there is a change in the status of the printer. If the printer goes off-line, runs out of paper or is detached, the adminis- trator will be notified via the OkiLAN 6010e traps over both UDP and IPX. A dditionally, the OkiLAN 6010e can send traps on toner low, paper jam, and printer cover open. The traps may be configured for specific destination addresses and can be configured for a particular printer port and/or printer trap. In order to receive OkiNet Alert traps, the OkiLAN 6010e must have bidirectional status enabled (it is disabled by default). Extended Status can be enabled through the OkiLAN 6010e Configuration utility (telnet) from the Configure Port option. You can also enable OkiNet Alert through OkiNet for TCP/IP or IPX from the Output Port file tab. Security SNMP implements a simple security system known as community names. Each SNMP message has a commu- nity name associated with the command in the message. SNMP allows for a Set community name, Get commu- nity name and a Trap community name. When the SNMP A gent receives a command, it checks the com- munity name of the message with the community name of the device. If the community names do not match, the A gent discards the message and sends an authenti- cation failure trap. OKI OkiLAN 6010e User’s Guide 1-7

Section II - Advanced Management Features Troubleshooting Server Connection Il - 24 The print server only supports two simulta- neous HTTP connections. If your browser fails to connect to the print server, the browser may be trying to open more than two connections. Please refer to your browser’s Help files for information on changing the connection settings. Both Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Explorer for the Macintosh and Power PC will some- times display a failure to connect message after being configured for only two connec- tions. Should this occur, select OK to bypass the error message. The menu page will still be displayed and configuration can be completed. Quickly refreshing a page within some browsers can cause the browser to leave active connections open with the server called a hung connection. This will use up one of the HTTP connections, can cause problems connecting to the server and will slow down Web response time. If TCP timeout checking is enabled under TCP/IP configuration, the hung connection will timeout after the timeout period has expired. OKI OkiLAN 6010e User's Guide

It runs in the back- ground on any Windows-based PC and alerts the user with a sound or a screen flash when an error has oc- curred, and OkiNet Alert can be configured to respond only to the specific error conditions that are of concem to you. You can also launch batch files on given error conditions. OKI OkiNet Alert can be used in IPX and IP environments. Enhanced Printer Status The OkiLAN 6010e communicates with the printer to monitor the current condition of the printer. This infor- mation can be observed in real time via the utilities or can be interpreted by the OkiLAN 6010e to generate traps to your SNMP management utility of choice: HP OpenView or the OKI OkiNet Alert utility. For bidirectional capable printers the OkiLAN 6010e can retrieve the printer information, such as front panel message, and display it through the OkiNet utilities.

Overview This section contains instructions and information on how to configure your OkiLAN 6010e. You will also be instructed on how to set up your host computers to print to the OkiLAN 6010e using the TCP/IP protocol. OkiLAN 6010e supports three TCP/IP methods for printing: + __ Remote Line Printer Daemon (LPD) *__ File Transfer Protocol (FTP) *_ Printing directly through a TCP port (Raw Port Printing) Software Requirements The OkiLAN 6010e may be configured for TCP/IP using the OkiNet for TCP/IP utility, or from a computer supporting the OkiNet for NetWare utility, OR telnet and one of the following: Manual arp table entry and ping Static route entry using route add command DHCP RARP BOOTP IV-6 OKI OkiLAN 6010e User's Guide
Section IV - TCP/IP Network Preparation You should be familiar with network admin- istration as well as the physical setup and operation of your network. Advise users of possible disruption during installation. Make sure the serial number and Ethemet address of your OkiLAN 6010e are avail- able. Assign an IP address and a hostname (alias) to the OkiLAN 6010e. Use the network name service or the “/etc/ hosts” file to add the OkiLAN 6010e to the network. Before You Start Before running OkiNet for TCP/IP, you must do the following: Install the OkiLAN 6010e hardware and connect the cabling. Instructions for hard- ware installation are found in Section I of this manual. Write down the serial number and Ethernet address of your OkiLA N 6010e. (These numbers are located on the OkiLAN 6010e board.) Install OkiNet for TCP/IP— see Section I. OKI OkiLAN 6010e User's Guide IV-7
Chapter 2: Configuring the OkiLAN
6010e Choosing an IP Address Every TCP/IP network device is required to have a unique IP address. The IP address can be permanently stored using one of the following: + OKI OkiNet management utilities for TCP/ IP or Novell NetWare + OkiLAN 6010e Configuration utility via telnet. Note: The OkiNet utilities are the easiest way to assign an IP address. Using factory default settings, the OkiLAN 6010e first attempts to determine its IP address (flashing rapid green) using DHCP, RARP, BOOTP or Gleaning. If the OkiLAN 6010e has not resolved its IP address after 2 minutes, it defaults to 198.102.102.254. (This IP ad- dress should be used only temporarily for configuration purposes.) To choose an IP address:
1. Select an IP address and hostname for the
2. Add the name and IP address to the “/etc/
hosts” file of each host that will access the OkiLAN 6010e. Or, if your network uses a name service, add the host name and IP address to the name server. Most TCP/IP networks use the Network Information Service (NIS), Domain Name Service (DNS) or the “/ etc/hosts” database. See your network documentation for instructions. Configuring the OkiLAN 6010e There are four utilities available to configure the OkiLAN 6010e for TCP/IP printing. You may use whichever utility is best suited for your needs. + OkiNet for TCP/IP - Windows TCP/IP print manager utility. See Chapter 3 of this section for more information. + _ OkiLAN 6010e Configuration Utility - This utility is accessed via telnet. See Chap- ter 5 of this section for more information. In order to configure the OkiLAN 6010e via telnet, you must first assign an IP address to the OkiLAN 6010e and verify communica- tion by pinging the device. *__OkiNet for NetWare - This windows utility must be run from a Novell NetWare client. See Section III of this manual for specific information. IV -10 OKI OkiLAN 6010e User's Guide
Section IV - TCP/IP Assigning the IP Address There are eight different methods for assigning an IP address to the OkiLAN 6010e: Gleaning, Static Route Entry, DHCP RARP, BOOTP and using the OkiNet utilities. Gleaning, Static Route Entry and RARP require the OkiLAN 6010e and the host to be on the same subnet. DHCP and BOOTP also have this restric- tion unless the network routers are configured to pass these requests. The OkiNet utilities do not have this restriction. Gleaning If an IP address has not been permanently assigned when the OkiLAN 6010e is powered on or reset, it will look for a ping packet on the network. If the OkiLA N6010e receives a ping packet within two minutes, it will accept the IP address in the ping packet as its own address. To use Gleaning, you must have Windows 95, Windows NT, or super-user privileges on a UNIX system.
2. Starta continuous ping to the OkiLAN
6010e. ping <ip_address> Example: ping 192.168.42.24 On some systems, this may require an additional pa- rameter. Some implementations of ping only send out one ping packet which could get lost in transit. Check your system documentation for more information.
3. Connect power to the OkiLAN 6010e.
The OkiLAN 6010e will glean its IP address from the ping packet. This IP address will remain in effect until the OkiLAN 6010e is powered off or reset. Therefore, a permanent IP address should be assigned by running the OkiNet for TCP/IP utility or via telnet. Note: Gleaning does not work with Windows NT Workstation 3.5. DHCP The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provides a framework for passing configuration infor- mation to hosts on a TCP/IP network in a client/server fashion. DHCP is based on the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP), adding the capability of automatic allocation of reusable network addresses and additional configura- tion options. DHCP uses the same packet structure as BOOTP so current BOOT P relay agents will also interact with DHCP messages. IV -12 OKI OkiLAN 6010e User's Guide
Section IV - TCP/IP DHCP offers dynamic IP address allocation. When a client receives an IP address, it also receives a lease (an amount of time the host may use the address). The lease times vary from 1 hour to 100 years, or may be infinite. When the lease expires, the host must stop using the address. DHCP may also be used like BOOTP, with a certain IP address always assigned to a certain device. Depending on the server, both methods may be used at the same time. If the OkiLAN 6010e does not find a DHCP server after two minutes, it will timeout and assume a default address of 198.102.102.254. This follows current BOOTP and RARP behavior. If the OkiLAN 6010e receives multiple responses, it will choose the first one. When the OkiLAN 6010e receives an address, it sends an A RP message once every second for five seconds on the offered address to determine if another device is using it. If the OkiLAN 6010e finds another device is using the address, it will refuse the address and start looking for a new address. OKI OkiLAN 6010e User's Guide IV -13
Section IV - TCP/IP Static Route Entry When the OkiLAN 6010e is powered on or reset and no permanent IP address has been assigned, it will attempt to obtain an IP address through Gleaning, RARP, BOOTP or DHCP. If the OkiLAN 6010e has not deter- mined its IP address after two minutes, the IP address will default to 198.102.102.254. This IP address should only be used temporarily to configure a new, permanent IP address. To change to a permanent IP address, the route add command is used to place the OkiLAN 6010e products default IP address into the workstation’s network routing table. To use the route command, you must have Windows 95, Windows NT or super-user privileges under UNIX. The syntax for this command is route add 198.102.102.254 “IP address of the workstation” 0 Note: The zero (0) placed at the end of the route add command shown above is optional. The Static Route method only works if the host from which you are telneting is on the same subnet as the OkiLAN 6010e. Once the route add command has been issued, telnet will allow you to change and/or make the IP address permanent. A fter changing the IP address to its permanent address, the routing table entry should be deleted using route delete. For more information, consult your system documenta- tion for the route command. IV -14 OKI OkiLAN 6010e User's Guide
Section IV - TCP/IP RARP or BOOTP If an IP address has not been permanently assigned, the OkiLAN 6010e will use Reverse À ddress Resolution Protocol (RARP) or Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP). The OkiLAN 6010e will broadcast requests for its IP ad- dress to both RARP and BOOTP servers. A RARP or BOOTP server will respond by searching a configura- tion file that maps the Ethernet hardware addresses of devices on the network to their respective IP addresses. If a match is found, the server’s response will include the IP address of the device. Most UNIX operating systems support either the RARP or BOOTP protocol. To find out which protocol your operating system supports, request the manual page for the protocol’s daemon (e.g. man bootpd or man rarpd), or see your network manuals. Both protocols require that you add the products network hardware address and IP address to a configuration file. See your network documentation for instructions or refer to Appendix B, Application Considerations. Note: An IP address received from a RARP or BOOTP server is not permanently programmed into the OkiLAN 6010e. Therefore, if you choose this method of assigning the IP address, the RARP or BOOTP server must be available every time the OkiLAN 6010e is powered on or reset. The IP address can be stored permanently using telnet, OkiNet for TCP/IP or OkiNet for NetWare. A Winsock compliant BOOTP server is located on the OkiNet disk. This has been provided for users who do not have UNIX machines. OKI OkiLAN 6010e User's Guide IV -15
Section IV - TCP/IP Other Utilities The IP address can also be set from Novell NetWare using the OkiNet for NetWare utility. Note: The OkiNet for NetWare utilities can only be used if Novell NetWare is installed on your network. Verifying Access to the OkiLAN 6010e Use the ping utility to verify access to the OkiLAN 6010e. ping <IP address of OkiLAN 6010e> If the OkiLAN 6010e does not respond, your network or the device is not configured correctly. + Verify the IP address, default gateway and subnet mask are set to the proper values on the OkiLAN 6010e by printing a configura- tion sheet. This can be done using either the print configuration sheet button, through the OkiNet or OkiNet for VINES utilities or via telnet. + __Ifthe settings appear to be correct, try repeating the installation steps. If problems persist, call Okidata Customer Support at 1-800-OKIDATA (1-800-654-3282). IV -16 OKI OkiLAN 6010e User's Guide
and Printing Overview The OkiLAN 6010e supports printing from computers using TCP/IP and any of the following printing proto- cols: + Line Printer Redirect/Line Printer Daemon (Ipr/lpd) + __ File Transfer Protocol (FTP) *__ Printing directly through a TCP port (Raw Port Printing) This chapter presents basic instructions on how to configure your computer to print using Remote LPD and FTP. Specific instructions for several popular computer systems have been documented in A ppendix B, Application Considerations. If your specific system is not addressed in this appendix, follow the instructions outlined below. You should also refer to your operating system or computer manual for information about configuring remote network printing. If you are still unable to configure your computer system to print to the OkiLAN 6010e, contact Okidata Customer Support at 1-800-OKIDATA (1-800-654-3282). OKI OkiLAN 6010e User's Guide IV -17
Section IV - TCP/IP Configuring for TCP/IP Network Printing Most computers that support TCP/IP network printing use the Remote Line Printer Daemon (LPD) protocol. This protocol was originally part of the Berkeley Soft- ware Distribution (BSD) version of the UNIX operating system. Remote LPD was quickly adopted as a de facto standard. As a result, Remote LPD is now supported by most versions of the UNIX operating system and by many TCP/IP packages available for other operating systems. Configuration of Remote LPD printing varies among vendors who supply TCP/IP. You may also use the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) for printing. Typically FTP is used to transfer files between computers on a TCP/IP network. The OkiLAN 6010e simply prints the files it receives from FTP. Remote Print Queue Name The Remote Print Queue Name determines which printer port will service the print job. The Remote Print Queue Name may also be used to specify A SCII print jobs. Both Remote LPD and FTP have provisions for specifying a Remote Print Queue Name. The OkiLAN 6010e looks at the last character of the Remote Print Queue Name to determine which printer port will service the print job. AIl Remote Print Queue Names should end with the number 1, 2, 30r4.Ifa number is not specified, the OkiLA N 6010e will use printer port 1. IV -18 OKI OkiLAN 6010e User's Guide
Section IV - TCP/IP The OkiLAN 6010e is designed to handle many differ- ent types of printers and print data. Typically you will select the printer type for your printer in telnet under the Configure Port option. However, if you are connect- ing to an À SCII printer, you may wish to use the OkiLAN 6010e to format the print data for your printer. The OkiLAN 6010e will parse the remote queue name and search for certain characters at the end which tell how to convert an A SCII print job. The print server uses FF, LF and NF as A SCII conversion specifiers and uses the last number as an output port. The FF, LF and NF specifiers must be the last letters in the queue name. Example: LaserWriterFF, SalesColorLaserNF, ChemDeptLF2 FF Usethe FF suffix at the end of the Remote Print Queue Name, before the port number. Example: queueFF2 If the last character in the print job is not a form feed, the OkiLAN 6010e appends a form feed. This form feed prompits the printer to print any partial page at the end of the job. LF Usethe LF suffix at the end of the Remote Print Queue Name, before the port number. Example: queueLF2 OKI OkiLAN 6010e User's Guide IV -19
In addition to the form feed described above, the OkiLAN 6010e inserts a carriage-return character into the print job immediately before each line-feed character. This feature is useful for printing UNIX text files. Use the NF suffix at the end of the Remote Print Queue Name, before the port number. Example: queueNF2 The OkiLAN 6010e inserts a carriage-retum character into the print job immediately before each line-feed character. This feature is useful for printing UNIX text files. This option differs from LF in that form feed is not added to the end of jobs. Configuring a BSD-Style Print Queue For remote BSD-Style LPD printing, add the OkiLAN 6010e as a remote printer in the “/etc/printcap” database to each host printing to the OkiLAN 6010e. You can add PRINTCA P options as needed. If you are unfamiliar with PRINTCA P, consult your local docu- mentation. IV -20 OKI OkiLAN 6010e User's Guide
Section IV - TCP/IP The entry should be similar to the following: local print queue name| printer model and manufacturer]:\ :p=:mx#0:rm=OkiLAN 6010e name:\ :rp=remote print queue name:\ :sd=path to spool directory:lf=just log_file name local_print_queue_name The local print queue name defines the name of the printcap entry. It is used by the lpr/lpd utilities to specify which printcap entry is being referenced. À ddi- tional 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 propery. When you are ready to print, use the local print queue name that matches the data type of the file to be printed. OkiLAN 6010e_ name This is the name (alias) of the OkiLAN 6010e. 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 The remote print queue name entry determines the OkiLAN 6010e port where the print job will be printed and optionally specifies A SCII printing. 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. OKI OkiLAN 6010e User's Guide IV -21
Section IV - TCP/IP log_file_name This is the path to a file where error information from the lpd will be logged. Example: If you are printing to an A SCII printer that requires a carriage return/line feed, you may need two separate printcap entries: one entry for print jobs which terminate lines with a carriage return/line feed, and another entry for print jobs which terminate lines with a line feed only. Your printcap entries might look like the following: ascii_files/form.feed.Queue on_ Port 2:\ :p=mx#:rmm=pserverl:rp=MY QUEUEFF2:\ :sd=/usr/spool/myqueueff2:\ :If=/usr/spool/myqueueff2/queue.log asciilf files|line.feed.Queue on Port 2:\ :p=mx#:rm=pserverl:rp=MY QUEUELF2:\ :sd=/usr/spool/myqueuelf2:\ :If=/usr/spool/myqueuelf2/queue.log Note: Each printcap entry must have a different spool directory to work properly. IV -22 OKI OkiLAN 6010e User's Guide
Section IV - TCP/IP Remote LPD Printing The way print jobs are queued to a Remote LPD system varies among the vendors that support TCP/IP. UNIX systems that are BSD-based typically use the 1pr pro- gram to submit print jobs. Other UNIX systems may use the 1p program to submit print jobs. PC-based TCP/ IP packages often provide a command line 1pr program and a utility to redirect the output of an LPT port to a Remote LPD system. Consult your system administrator or software vendor for assistance troubleshooting LPD. Note: The Remote LPD implementation of the OkiLAN 6010e does not support any UNIX LPD input or output filters or the direct printing of banner pages. It is pos- sible to configure some UNIX systems so that banner pages and input and output filters will be generated at the UNIX host and then sent to the OkiLAN 6010e. (Refer to Appendix B, Application Considerations.) FTP Printing FTP is a command line program used to transfer files between computers. FTP provides commands for opening a connection to another computer, specifying the data type of any transfers, and sending and receiving files. The OkiLA N 6010e supports a subset of the FTP command set. This subset allows the FTP user to open a connection to the OkiLAN 6010e, specify a file transfer data type and send print files to a Remote Print Queue Name on the OkiLAN 6010e. OKI OkiLAN 6010e User's Guide IV -23
Section IV - TCP/IP The OkiLAN 6010e recognizes the following FTP commands: PUT Print a single file The PUT command sends the file to the OkiLAN 6010e. The first parameter of the PUT command is the name of the local file to PUT. The second parameter of the PUT command is the name of the file for the remote PC. In order to print the file, this second parameter must be a Remote Print Queue Name. If you do not specify the second parameter, FTP sets the remote file name to the local file name. This may produce undesir- able printing results. SEND Treated the same as PUT. MPUT Print multiple files. TYPE Changes the representation type used for data transfer. Image (or binary) and A SCII are the only types supported. ASCII Equivalent to “TY PE ASCII”. BINARY Equivalent to “TY PE BINARY”. IMAGE Equivalent to “TYPE IMAGE”. STRU Specifies file structure. File is the only structure supported. IV -24 OKI OkiLAN 6010e User's Guide
Section IV - TCP/IP MODE Specifies transfer mode. Stream is the only transfer mode sup- ported. OPEN Opens connection to remote host. CLOSE Terminates FTP session. QUIT Terminates FTP session and exits FTP. BYE Equivalent to QUIT. OkiLAN 6010e print servers will allow one FTP con- nection. If more FTP connections are attempted, the OkiLAN 6010e will reject the connection until one of the other FTP connections is closed. When an FTP connection is rejected, the FTP program will typically display a message like the following: $ ftp<CR> ftp> open OkiLAN 6010e name<CR> connection refused ftp> Note: Specifying binary mode is important for all jobs. Most FTP implementations default to ASCII mode. This may cause unexpected or undesired printing results. Example: The following example prints a PostScript file called chart.ps to the OkiLAN 6010e printer Port 1 using FTP. OKI OkiLAN 6010e User's Guide IV -25
Timeout Checking If timeout checking is enabled on the OkiLAN 6010e, the OkiLAN 6010e will close any connection that stays idle for more than five minutes. For example, if you open an FTP connection to the OkiLAN 6010e and walk away from your computer for more than five minutes, the FTP connection will be closed. You can reestablish a connection to the OkiLAN 6010e with the OPEN command. IV -26 OKI OkiLAN 6010e User's Guide
Section IV - TCP/IP Raw Port Printing Host computer software can use a raw TCP/IP port connection to send data to the OkiLAN 6010e. A TCP/ IP port has been assigned to the output port of the OkiLAN 6010e as follows: TCP/IP Port Output Port

Section IV - TCP/IP Fill in the following information: IP Address Resolution +__ Set Permanent - Select this option to make the IP address permanent. If the OkiLAN 6010e has been configured to remember its IP address, it does not need to determine its address each time it is pow- ered on. Enter the IP address for the OkiLAN 6010e. The IP address must follow the format XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, where each XXX isa number from 0 to 255. CAUTION: If you select an invalid IP address, you may not be able to access the OkiLAN 6010e. + Use Network Protocol - Select this option to use RARP, BOOTP or DHCP to determine the IP address at power up. Specify which protocol(s) to use. Subnet Mask If your network environment includes subnets, you will want to set the subnet mask. The subnet mask must follow the formatXXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, where each XXX is a number from 0 to 255. The default subnet mask is 0.0.0.0. The OkiLAN 6010e interprets a subnet mask of 0.0.0.0 or 255.255.255.255 as no subnet mask specified. CAUTION: If you select an invalid subnet mask, you may not be able to access the OkiLAN 6010e.

Section IV - TCP/IP Showing Network/Printer Information (Option 1) This option displays current network and printer infor- mation. Changing the Password (Option 2) This option allows you to change the password required for access to this utility. We recommend that you change your password periodically, especially if secu- rity may have been compromised. Type a password (5- 24 characters long). The characters you type will not appear on the screen. When you are done typing, press Enter. You will be asked to enter your password again. This allows you to verify your password was typed correctly. You must save your changes when you exit the utility for the new password to take effect. Specify Print Server IP Address (Option 3) This option allows you to select the method the OkiLAN 6010e uses to obtain its IP address or to set a permanent IP address. If the OkiLA N 6010e has been configured to use a permanent IP address, a DHCP, RARP or BOOTP server does not need to be available when the OkiLAN 6010e is powered on. If you change the IP address, the change will remain undetected until the OkiLAN 6010e is reset or is pow- ered off and on. OKI OkiLAN 6010e User's Guide IV -55
Section IV - TCP/IP Remember, when choosing a permanent IP address: + The IP address must follow the format XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, where each XXX is a number between 0 and 255. + If you select an invalid IP address you may not be able to access the OkiLAN 6010e. °__ You can also use OkiNet for TCP/IP, OkiNet for NetWare or the Banyan VINES OkiNet for VINES utilities to set a permanent IP address. Note: If you select an invalid IP address you may not be able to access the OkiLAN 6010e. Use this option with care! Specify the Subnet Mask for Your Network (Option 4) If your network environment includes subnets, you will want to set the subnet mask. The subnet mask must follow the format XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, where each XXX is a number between 0 and 255. The default subnet mask is 0.0.0.0. The OkiLAN 6010e interprets a subnet mask of 0.0.0.0 or 255.255.255.255 as no subnet mask specified. IV -56 OKI OkiLAN 6010e User's Guide
Section IV - TCP/IP If you change the subnet mask, the change will remain undetected until the OkiLAN 6010e is reset or is power cycled. Note: If you select an invalid subnet mask you may not be able to access the OkiLAN 6010e. Use this option with care! Identify Default Gateway IP Address (Option 5) If your local network is attached to other networks, you must specify the address of your default gateway. Whenever packets need to be sent to another network, the default gateway is used. The gateway address must follow the format XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, where each XXX is a number between 0 and 255. When the default gateway is changed, it will remain undetected until the OkiLAN 6010e is reset or is power cycled. Note: If you select an invalid default gateway or the default gateway goes down, the OkiLAN 6010e may not be able to communicate with non-local networks. OKI OkiLAN 6010e User's Guide IV -57
Section IV - TCP/IP Configure Port (Option 6) After the Configure menu appears, you can access the following configuration option screens. Specify Configuration Page Language This option enables you to select how the OkiLAN 6010e configuration pages should be printed: Text (default), PCL, PostScript, or OFF.

Section IV - TCP/IP Restore to Factory Default Configuration (Option 9) This option automatically restores the OkiLA N 6010e to its original factory defaults. Be aware that when you restore the OkiLAN 6010e to the original factory default settings, only the TCP/IP protocol and output port information is restored and your TCP/IP password and IP address are erased. CAUTION: Make sure that no print jobs are active when you select Restore to Factory Defaults. Performing this operation will restore param- eters for the TCP/IP protocol to factory defaults. If you reset the OkiLAN 6010e while a job is printing, the job may not print successfully. IV - 60 OKI OkiLAN 6010e User's Guide
Section IV - TCP/IP Appendix A:Troubleshooting Main Status Indicator Upon power-up, the main status indicator flashes orange. It changes to green when the OkiLAN 6010e passes self-test. The indicator stays orange if the OkiLAN 6010e fails self-test. If the indicator turns solid orange due to an error, a configuration sheet will be printed automatically. Check the error message reported on the configuration sheet. Restoring the OkiLAN 6010e to Factory Defaults In most cases, the best way to restore the OkiLAN 6010e to factory defaults is via telnet. However, if you are unable to connect to the device because of a con- figuration error, use the following method which does not require a network connection. To restore the OkiLAN 6010e to factory defaults, complete the following steps:
1. Power down the OkiLAN 6010e.
2. While holding in the Print Configuration
Sheet Test button, power up the OkiLAN 6010e. Hold the button until the status indicator turns solid green.
3. Power cycle the OkiLAN 6010e. It will have
restored itself to defaults. OKI OkiLAN 6010e User's Guide IV -61
Section IV - TCP/IP Unable to Assign IP Address Gleaning If you ping the device and are not getting a response, the glean is not working. Check the following possible problems: + Verify the ARP table contains the correct hardware and IP address by running the ‘arp-a’ command. + __If you are getting a response, but the OkiLAN 6010e LED is still blinking green, power down the print server and try the ping again. There might be a different device answering to the ping. + Verify the OkiLAN 6010e is on the same subnet as the computer running the ping. + The glean will not work if the OkiLAN 6010e has already defaulted to an IP address two minutes after power up. The LED will tum solid green and the device will print a configuration page. Power cycle the device and try the glean again. IV -62 OKI OkiLAN 6010e User's Guide
Section IV - TCP/IP RARP or BOOTP If you are using a BOOTP or RARP server and the OkiLAN 6010e is not getting an IP address, check the following: Verify the BOOTP/RARP configuration files are correctly set up (“/etc/ethers” and “Jetc/hosts” for RARP and “/etc/bootptab” for BOOTP). Verify the files have the correct hardware address of the OkiLA N 6010e. If using RARP, check that the hostnames are the same between the “/etc/ethers” and “Jetc/hosts” files. UNIX BOOTP If you are running UNIX, try the following methods with the BOOTP server (check the documentation for your particular UNIX flavor). Verify the BOOTP server has reread the “Jetc/bootptab” file when the new entry was added. If the BOOTP server was running when you added the new entries, the server might not have reread the new bootptab file. Try sending the SIGHUP signal to the running BOOTP server. For example, kill -HUP <process id of bootpd> tells it to reread “/etc/bootptab”. Most BOOTP servers support this option. Check your local BOOTP documentation. If this does not work, restart the BOOT P server (kill and restart the process). OKI OkiLAN 6010e User's Guide IV - 63
Section IV - TCP/IP + Some BOOTP servers will write their internal bootptab tables to a file when they receive a SIGUSRI1 signal. You can check this file to verify the hardware and IP ad- dress are correct. You can use the kill com- mand to send signals. For example, kill -USR1 <process id of bootpd>. Check your documentation for more information. + _ Check the system's syslog file. Some BOOTP servers will write error messages into the syslog file. Example: Sep 6 14:38:43 bootpd[17565]: hardware address not found:
This message appears when the BOOTP server received a request from a device not in its internal bootptab tables. Static Route Entry If the OkiLAN 6010e has printed a configuration page showing the default address, but it cannot be reached through telnet, check the following: + Display the host’s routing tables with the ‘netstat -r’ command. Verify the route has been set correctly. + __Ifthe route is set correctly, try pinging the device. IV - 64 OKI OkiLAN 6010e User's Guide
Section IV - TCP/IP + Verify the OkiLAN 6010e is on the same subnet as the host from which you are telneting. As a drastic measure, try creating an isolated subnet with your host and the OkiLAN 6010e. If you are using 10BASE2, run the cable directly from the host to the OkiLAN 6010e. If using 10BASE-T cabling, connect the host to the OkiLAN 6010e through a hub not connected to any other host. + _Ifthe static route has been set up and can telnet to the OkiLAN 6010e, but your changes do not seem to be saved, check the host’s routing tables. You might have telneted to a different OkiLAN 6010e than the one you intended. While in telnet, select the second menu option, Show Network/ Printer Information. The hardware address and serial number are displayed. Verify they are the same as the unit you are configuring. + _ Tumoff the OkiLAN 6010e you want to configure. Run telnet again.

For example, if you are using a PostScript printer, verify the OkiLAN 6010e is also set to PostScript. Try pinging the OkiLAN 6010e by its IP address (not the hostname). This will verify the unit is functioning on the network. OKI OkiLAN 6010e User's Guide
Section IV - TCP/IP FTP If the ping succeeds, try ftping a test file to the print server. If the ping fails, you might have a configuration problem with the OkiLAN 6010e (the IP address or gateway address might be incorrect, etc.). If the ftp succeeds, there is a problem with the lpr/lp setup. Verify the hostname or IP address is correctly set for the queue. Try doing an Ipstat (System V) or 1pq (BSD) to query the status of the OkiLAN 6010e. If the indicator blinks green, the printer is receiving data. If nothing is actually print- ing, check the printer settings. For example, if you are using a PostScript printer, verify the OkiLAN 6010e is set to PostScript also. Try pinging the device by its IP address (not the hostname). This will verify the OkiLAN 6010e is functioning on the network.

Section IV - TCP/IP Assigning the OkiLAN 6010e IP Address with BOOTP BOOTP is an acronym for BOOT Strap Protocol. Every TCP/IP network device is required to have a unique 32- bit IP address assigned to it. TCP/IP network devices will have both an IP address and a 48 bit Ethernet/ Token-Ring (network hardware) address. Ethernet addresses usually cannot be configured and are hard coded by the manufacturer of the device. BOOTP is a protocol used by devices that know their network hardware address, but do not know their IP address. When powering up on a network, a device that uses BOOTP will broadcast its network hardware address in a BOOT request packet. A BOOTP server (which may be a UNIX workstation) will respond with an IP ad- dress. The device will then know its IP address and use this address to perform subsequent TCP/IP transactions. Note: Once the OkiLAN 6010e has been assigned an IP address, the OkiLAN 6010e configuration utility (which is run by accessing the OkiLAN 6010e using telnet) or OkiNet for TCP/IP will allow you to change and/or make the IP address permanent. This means that a BOOTP server needs to be available only during instal- lation of the OkiLAN 6010e. Address Formats Network hardware addresses are 48-bits and are ex- pressed in 6 bytes (hexadecimal format) usually sepa- rated by colons. Each hexadecimal byte has a range from 00 to FF. Example: 00:40:68:17:50:A4 OKI OkiLAN 6010e User's Guide IV -71
Section IV - TCP/IP IP addresses are 32-bits and are expressed in 4 bytes (decimal format) usually separated by periods. Each decimal byte has a range from 0 to 255. Example: 192.168.42.1 Configuration File The purpose of BOOTP is to look up a 32-bit IP address given a 48-bit network hardware address. The BOOTP server (which is usually a UNIX workstation running a bootpd daemon) performs this function using one configuration file and one or more daemons. The configuration file is “/etc/bootptab” and the daemon is called bootpd. A name can be arbitrarily assigned to any device on a network. The following examples use the name OKIPRINTER. Remember that this name is arbitrary; a customer can assign any name they wish. letc/bootptab: The “/etc/bootptab” file has entries where each entry maps a network hardware address to an IP address. Example: OKIPRINTER:\ ht=ether:\ ha=0040681750A 4:\ ip=192.168.42.55 IV -72 OKI OkiLAN 6010e User's Guide
Section IV - TCP/IP The ht signifies hardware type. For the OkiLAN 6010e, it will always be ether for an Ethernet device and token for a Token-Ring device. The ha signifies the network hardware address. For BOOTP, the network hardware address must be represented without the colons between each byte. The ip part of the entry is where the IP address is specified. There are several other parameters that can be specified in a bootptab entry. However, the three parameters shown here are the only ones required for OkiLAN 6010e installation. The following sequence of events occurs during the power up of the OkiLAN 6010e using BOOTE.
1. AnOkiLAN 6010e powers up but does not
know its IP address. (It does know its net- work hardware address.)
2. The OkiLAN 6010e sends out a BOOTP
request packet with its network hardware address. For this example, the network hardware address is 00:40:68:17:50:A4.
3. The bootpd daemon running on a BOOTP
server (which in this example is a UNIX workstation) sees the BOOTP request along with the network hardware address. It looks up the network hardware address in the “/ etc/bootptab” file. The bootpd daemon finds the associated IP address of the device in the bootptab file. OKI OkiLAN 6010e User's Guide IV -73
4. The bootpd daemon transmits a response to
the OkiLAN 6010e with the IP address
192.168.42.55. The OkiLAN 6010e will use
this IP address for all subsequent transmis- sions. For these steps to work properly, at least one BOOTP daemon (bootpd) must be running on the BOOTP server. To test whether a BOOTP daemon is running on the BOOTP server, use the ps command with the show all process option within fifteen minutes of an at- tempted BOOTP request. Unfortunately, the ps options differ from one UNIX workstation to another Perform a man ps at the UNIX prompt to consult a manual page on the ps command for a particular workstation. If bootpd is not running on a workstation, type man bootpd at the UNIX prompt to consult a manual page on the BOOTP daemon and how to start it. Limitations Often TCP/IP networks are divided into subnets. BOOTP does not work across subnets. When installing an OkiLAN 6010e, make sure the following criteria are met for BOOTP to work propery. + _ Both the BOOTP server and the OkiLAN 6010e are physically attached to the same subnet. + The IP address assigned to the OkiLAN 6010e and the IP address of the BOOTP server belong to the same subnet. IV -74 OKI OkiLAN 6010e User's Guide
*_ Your router(s) are configured to forward BOOTP packets between the OkiLA N 6010e’s subnet and the subnet of the host running the BOOTP server. Configuring the OkiLAN 6010e IP Ad- dress with RARP RARP is an acronym for Reverse Address Resolution Protocol. Every TCP/IP network device must have a unique 32-bit IP address. TCP/IP network devices will have both an IP address and a 48-bit Ethernet (network hardware) address. Ethernet addresses usually cannot be configured and are hard coded by the manufacturer of the device. RARP is a protocol used by devices that know their network hardware address, but do not know their IP address. When powering up on a network, a device that uses RARP will broadcast its network hardware address in a RARP request message. A RARP server (which may be a UNIX workstation) will re- spond with an IP address. The device will then know its IP address and use this address to perform subsequent TCP/IP transactions. Note: Once the OkiLAN 6010e has been assigned an IP address, the OkiLAN 6010e configuration utility (which is accessed by telneting to the OkiLAN 6010e) or OkiNet for TCP/IP will allow you to change and/or make the IP address permanent.

Section IV - TCP/IP Address Formats Network hardware addresses are 48-bits and are ex- pressed in 6 bytes in hexadecimal format usually sepa- rated by colons. Each hexadecimal byte has a range from 00 to FF. Example: 00:02:16:17:50:A4 IP addresses are 32-bits and are expressed in 4 bytes in decimal format usually separated by periods. Each decimal byte has a range from 0 to 255. Example: 192:168:42:55 Configuration Files The purpose of RARP is to look up a 32-bit IP address given a 48-bit network hardware address. The RARP server (which is usually a UNIX workstation running a rarpd daemon) performs this function using two con- figuration files and one or more daemons. The configu- ration files are “/etc/hosts” and “/etc/ethers” and the daemon is called rarpd. A name can be assigned to any device on a network and is arbitrary. For the following examples the name used for the OkiLAN 6010e is OKIPRINTER. Remember that this name is arbitrary; a customer can assign any name. letc/hosts: The “/etc/hosts” file is where each entry maps a host name to an IP address. An example entry is shown below.
Section IV - TCP/IP letc/ethers: The “/etc/ethers” file is where each entry maps a host name to a network hardware address. A n example entry is shown below. 00:02:16:17:50:A4 OKIPRINTER The following sequence of events occurs during the power up of the OkiLAN 6010e using RARP:
1. The OkiLAN 6010e powers up but does not
know its IP address. However, it does know its network hardware address.
2. Itsends out an RARP request message with
its network hardware address. For this example, the OkiLAN 6010e address is 00:02:16:17:50:A4.
3. The rarpd daemon running on an RARP
server (in this example the RARP server is a UNIX workstation) sees the RA RP request along with the network hardware address in the “/etc/ethers” file. The rarpd daemon finds the host name, OKIPRINTER, listed as the name associated with the network hardware address.
4. The rarpd then consults the “/etc/hosts” file
and looks up the name OKIPRINTER. It finds an IP address (in this case
192.168.42.55) associated with the name
OKIPRINTER. OKI OkiLAN 6010e User's Guide IV -77
5. The rarpd daemon transmits a response to
the OkiLAN 6010e with the IP address
192.168.42.55. The OkiLAN 6010e will
then use this IP address for all subsequent transmissions. For all these steps to work properly, at least one RARP daemon (rarpd) must be running on the RA RP server. On most UNIX systems, this can be tested by using the ps command with the show all processes option. Unfor- tunately, the ps options differ from one UNIX worksta- tion to another. Perform a man ps atthe UNIX prompt to consult a manual page on the ps command for a particular workstation. If rarpd is not running on a workstation, type man rarpd at the UNIX prompt to consult a manual page on the RARP daemon and how to start it. Limitations Often TCP/IP networks are divided into subnets. RARP does not work across subnets. When installing an OkiLAN 6010e, make sure the following two criteria are met for RARP to work propery.
1. Boththe RARP server and the OkiLAN
6010e are physically attached to the same subnet.
2. The IP address assigned to the OkiLAN
