• On UNIX systems, you can use the script config-TokenRing, provided with the printer's network utilities software. See Using the config-TokenRing script.
• On PCs, you can edit the PostScript utility file TOKNCFG.PS and send it to the printer. See the README file in the UTILS directory on the printer's CD-ROM for details.
• On a Macintosh, you can edit the PostScript utility file Configure Token Ring and send it to the printer. See the ReadMe file in the Network Utilities folder on the printer's CD-ROM for details.
• Windows users on NetWare networks can use the PhaserShare Administrator. See Using the PhaserShare Administrator to configure Token Ring.
• With a TCP/IP connection and a World Wide Web browser, you can use PhaserLink Printer Management Software. See Using PhaserLink Printer Management Software to configure Token Ring.

Whichever method you use, you must reset the printer to make the changes take effect. For more information about resetting the printer, see Resetting the Printer.

Using the PhaserShare Administrator to configure Token Ring

1. In the PhaserShare Administrator Main window, select the desired printer from the Printer List.
2. Click Configure Printer; this displays the Configure Printer dialog box.
3. In the Configure Printer dialog box, click the Token Ring tab.
4. In the Token Ring tab, set the Token Ring parameters as desired.
5. Click OK.
6. You are prompted to reset the printer. You must reset the printer before the changes take effect. For more information about resetting the printer, see Resetting the Printer.

Using PhaserLink Printer Management Software to configure Token Ring

Once a TCP/IP connection to the printer has been established and the printer's IP address is set, you can visit the printer's Status page from your web browser by entering the printer's URL (Uniform Resource Locator), just as you would to visit any web site. The printer's URL is:

http:// printer's-IP-address /

where printer's-IP-address is the IP address or DNS name you set during TCP/IP configuration.

Example using IP addess: http://192.1.1.1/

Example using DNS name: http://Xerox_Marketing/

1. Connect to the printer via PhaserLink (as described in the preceding paragraphs).
2. On the left side of the page, click Settings.
3. In the INTERFACES group, click PhaserShare Token Ring Card.
4. Enter the Token Ring parameters in the fields on the page.
5. Click Apply to save your changes.
6. You must reset the printer before the changes take effect. For more information, see Resetting the Printer.

Using the config-TokenRing script

The UNIX shell script config-TokenRing is provided with the printer's network utilities software. The script creates a PostScript file containing the Token Ring parameters. Set the Token Ring parameters by sending the PostScript file to the printer.

Before performing this procedure, you must install the script on your host computer. If you have not already installed the file, see Extracting files from unix.tar. Your host spooling system must also be configured; see TCP/IP Host Configuration (UNIX).

1. Connect the printer to the network. ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) requires that the printer be connected on the same physical network segment as the host. You will be using the arp command later in this procedure.
2. Log in.
3. Run the script config-TokenRing:
1. Change ( cd ) to the bin subdirectory in the directory where you placed your printer's network utilities.
2. Type the name of the script, redirecting the output to a file. Type:

config-TokenRing > filename

4. When prompted by the script, enter the Token Ring parameters.
5. When the script is finished, log in as root.
6. Make an entry into the host's ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) table defining the printer's Printer Name/Token Ring address pair. In general, this requires a command corresponding to one of the following syntax examples:

arp -s printer-name Token-Ring-address (for BSD systems) or arp -s ether printer-nam e Token-Ring-address (for System V) See the documentation for your host system for specifics of this command.

7. Turn on the printer.
8. Use the host spooling system (for example, lpr or lp ) to send the file you created in Step 3b to the printer; this stores the Token Ring information in the printer's internal memory, where it is retained over a reset or power cycle.
9. You must reset the printer before the changes take effect. For more information, see Resetting the Printer.
