memory cards will not work and are not supported on the Wireless Plus Print Server. The

Internal Wireless Plus Print Server and the b/g Print Server do not include a slot for these card

types.

Wireless Card Socket Option The ZebraNet wireless print server options replace the

Wireless Card Socket Option (WCSO) in 105SL printers with a serial number of 6400357 or

greater. Do not install a wireless option board on a 105SL printer with a serial number that is

less than 6400357.

Wireless Option Board A special wireless option board must be installed in your

printer/print engine. To determine if you have a wireless option board installed, use a printer

configuration label (refer to the “Printing Configuration Labels” section in your User Guide).

To purchase a wireless option, contact your authorized Zebra reseller for more information.

Configuration of Wireless Securities

11/21/13 P1043301-005

Configuration of Wireless Securities

You may configure your printer for wireless operation in the following ways:

Through the Network Setup Wizard. The Network Setup Wizard is part of the

ZebraNet™ Bridge Enterprise utility. The Network Setup Wizard writes a script for you. On

the last screen of the wizard, you may choose to send the script directly to your printer, or you

may choose to save the script to a file. The saved file has several purposes:

• The file can be sent to the printer through any available connection (serial, parallel, USB,

or wired print server).

• The file can be resent to the printer after the network settings have been restored to factory

defaults.

• The file can be sent to multiple printers that will use the same network settings.

The ZebraNet Bridge Enterprise utility resides on the User CD for your printer and is available

through http://www.zebra.com/software. ZebraNet Bridge Enterprise version 1.2.5 or later is

required to configure the printer correctly for use.

Through ZPL script that you write. Use the ^WX command to set the basic parameters

for security type. You can send the command through any available connection (serial,

parallel, USB, or wired print server).

Refer to the Programming Guide for ZPL, ZBI, Set-Get-Do, Mirror, and WML for more

information. A copy of the manual is available at http://www.zebra.com/manuals or on the

User CD that came with your printer.

Through Set/Get/Do (SGD) commands. Begin with wlan.security to set the

wireless security type. Depending on which security type that you select, other SGD

commands will be necessary to specify other parameters. You can send the commands through

any available connection (serial, parallel, USB, or wired print server).

Refer to the Programming Guide for ZPL, ZBI, Set-Get-Do, Mirror, and WML for more

information. A copy of the manual is available at http://www.zebra.com/manuals or on the

User CD that came with your printer.

Important • A wireless option board must be installed on your printer before you can

configure the printer to communicate using a wireless radio card. See Hardware — Wireless

Print Servers on page 23 to determine if your printer has a wireless board. See Firmware —

Wireless on page 27 for the required firmware version.

Note • To configure wired and wireless print servers on the same printer, run the program

once for each print server, creating a script for the wired print server and another for the

wireless print server.

Note • With printers running APL-I, APL-D, or EPL firmware, the only way to configure

wireless settings is through SGD commands.

After the wireless print server is configured, you may view the wireless status on the printer’s

control panel in many cases.

• Printers with an LCD display text or symbols (see LCD Link Status and Wireless Signal

Indicators).

• The HC100 printer does not have an LCD, so the wireless status is indicated by the control

panel lights (see HC100 Wireless Status Indicator Lights on page 54).

• The ZT210, ZT220, and ZT230 printers also use control panel lights to indicate the

wireless status (see ZT210, ZT220, ZT230, ZT410, and ZT420 Wired and Wireless Status

Indicator Lights on page 55).

Wireless Signal Indicator Description

SIGNAL STRENGTH and

SIGNAL QUALITY

When these indicators display percentages, the wireless radio card is

communicating with the network. The higher the number is, the better

the connection is between the printer and the network.

If your printer indicates a signal strength but you cannot communicate

with the printer from your computer, move the printer to a different

location to try to get a better signal strength or signal quality. This

situation could also indicate that the printer is associated with, but not

authenticated with, your access point.

NOISE LEVEL This number indicates any electrical interference with the wireless

signal.

If your printer cannot communicate with the network and the noise level

is high, move the printer to a location that is free of interference.

Determining the Active Print Server

11/21/13 P1043301-005

Determining the Active Print Server

Most printers can have wired and wireless print servers installed at the same time. However,

only one of the installed print servers can be active at any given time.

Viewing IP Addresses and the Active Print Server

The wired and wireless print servers have different IP addresses. The printer’s control panel

displays the IP address of the active print server (see View Wireless Status through the Control

Panel on page 52). You can view the printer’s web pages and send label formats to the printer

through the active print server’s IP address.

The network configuration label (Figure 12) displays the IP addresses of all installed print

server devices and indicates the active print server with an asterisk (circled in Figure 12). To

print a network configuration label for wired print servers, see Printing a Network

Configuration Label — Internal ZebraNet 10/100 Print Server and Wireless Print Servers

on page 46 or for wireless print servers, see Configuration of Wireless Securities on page 51.

Then…

• S4M

• ZT210

• ZT220

• ZT230

Only one print server (wired or wireless) can be installed at a

time. Thus, the print server installed is the primary print server.

• 105SL

• XiIIIPlus

• R110Xi

• R170Xi

• Z4Mplus

• Z6Mplus

• PAX4

• R110PAX4

You may select which installed device is the primary network

device. The printer will try to use the primary network device as

the active print server before trying the other installed options.

These printers and print engines use X60.16.x or later firmware.

The default for the printer is to

skip the check for a wired print

server during bootup. This makes the wireless print server the

primary network device if a wireless print server is installed. To

change this default and allow the wired print server to be the

primary network device when it is connected, use one of the

following methods to tell the printer to check for a wired print

server at bootup time:

• the WIRED PS CHECK parameter on the control panel

• the ^NB ZPL command

Table 14 identifies which device becomes the active print server

under various conditions.

• Xi4

• ZM400

• ZM600

• ZT410

• ZT420

• RZ400

• ZE500

• 105SLPlus

These printers support the simultaneous installation of an

internal, external, and a wireless print server. Even though all

three print servers may be installed, only one is connected to the

network and is the active print server.

Table 15 outlines priorities and identifies which device becomes

the active print server when multiple print servers are installed.

You may select whether the wired or wireless print server will be

the primary connection by using one of the following methods:

• the PRIMARY NETWORK parameter on the control panel

• the ^NC ZPL command

Assigning an IP Address on any Print Server

P1043301-005 11/21/13

Assigning an IP Address on any Print Server

Before you can begin working with a print server, you must get or assign an IP address for the

print server device.

The four different ways to assign an IP address are:

• DHCP

• ZebraNet Bridge

• Printer Control Panel/LCD

• Telnet

With Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

If your network uses DHCP, your print server device is assigned a temporary IP address.

Assigning an IP Address Without DHCP via ZebraNet Bridge

ZebraNet Bridge may be used to set the IP address. Refer to the ZebraNet Bridge Enterprise

User Guide for more detailed information.

Important • For specific information on the default User ID and/or default password, see

Default User ID and Password on page 43.

Note • Check with your Network Administrator to see whether your network uses DHCP.

Getting Started

Assigning an IP Address on any Print Server

11/21/13 P1043301-005

Assigning an IP address Without DHCP from the Control Panel

These steps can be used with all printers with a control panel.

To assign an IP address from the control panel (or LCD), complete these steps:

1. Turn on (I) the printer and wait until the control panel says PRINTER READY.

2. See Wired Network Parameters on the LCD on page 126 or Wireless Network Parameters

on the LCD on page 129 for specific print server menu options or your printer’s user guide

for specific instructions on the operation of your printer.

3. You may edit any of the following network settings in order to communicate with any

print server in your network environment.

• 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 255.0.0.0)

• 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)

Important • Your ZebraNet 10/100 Print Server must have firmware 1.xx.x and higher and

your Zebra printer must have firmware x.10 or higher with a control panel.

Important • To change any of these settings, you need to enter the printer password. The

default password is

1234.

Getting Started

Assigning an IP Address on any Print Server

P1043301-005 11/21/13

Assigning an IP Address Without DHCP via a Telnet Session

The methods used for assigning an IP address with a Telnet session are Static Route and

Gleaning.

Before you can Telnet to the print server and configure it, you must first assign the print server

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 print server 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 print

server is 192.168.254.254. Print the print server configuration label to confirm the

address. For details, see Before You Begin on page 43.

2. You can use the route add command to place the default IP address into the

workstation's network routing table.

3. At the workstation/host command prompt (in Windows, at the DOS prompt), type:

route add **** "IP address of the workstation" 0

where **** is the IP address on any print server configuration label

4. Telnet to the print server by typing:

"Telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"

The password is 1234.

5. At this point, you can alter the settings as desired. When complete, do a reset and allow

the print server self-test to complete before proceeding with any communications activity.

Important • This applies to any TCP/IP capable workstation/host networked with the Zebra

printer. Both, the workstation/host and the print server, must be on the same network

segment.

Note • The zero (0) placed at the end of the “route add” command is optional on some

systems.

Getting Started

Assigning an IP Address on any Print Server

11/21/13 P1043301-005

Gleaning

A method by which the print server uses the IP address of the first ping packet that is sent to its

hardware address.

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 ip address> <MAC Address>

2. Power cycle the printer.

3. As the printer reboots, begin a continuous ping to the address assigned previously.

4. When the print server begins to respond, stop the ping activity.

In Windows,

Ctrl + C halts the pinging.

5. Telnet to the print server and assign the appropriate IP address, subnet mask, and gateway,

if applicable.

6. Once this is complete, reset the print server.

For details on resetting the print server, see Reset on page 122.

Note • Gleaning works only on local subnets at routers. It does not pass Address Resolution

Protocol (ARP) broadcasts.

Example • You would type: arp -s 10.3.50.59 00-07-4d-1D-B9-86

Note • Most UNIX systems use a continuous ping.

To use a continuous ping from a Windows host, you must issue the following command:

ping -t "ipaddress"

Setting and Monitoring Alerts on Any Print Server

P1043301-005 11/21/13

Setting and Monitoring Alerts on Any Print Server

It is important to understand the relationship between the print server and the printer when you

are establishing alerts. Here are the relationships you need to be aware of:

• Non-ZebraLink-enabled printers — can only send alerts on a specific set of printer errors

that are reported in the IEEE 1284 protocol.

• ZebraLink-enabled printers — ZebraLink allows for the printer to send alerts outside of

the IEEE 1284 protocol.

ZebraLink Alerts

ZebraLink Alerts give you the ability to manage your Zebra printers by immediately notifying

System Administrators of printer error or warning conditions, which reduces printer downtime

and increases application efficiency. Using Web-based configuration tools, selected errors or

warning conditions can be routed to a variety of destinations such as email messages, wireless

pagers, or ZebraLink Alerts.

Table 16 on page 65 shows the conditions that can trigger alerts and the possible destinations.

Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD)-Style Print Queue

BSD is a version of the UNIX OS that distributes software that includes TCP/IP.

Configuring the Print Queue

For remote BSD-style LPD printing, add the print server as a remote printer in the

/etc/printcap database to each host printing to any print server. You can add printcap options as

needed. If you are unfamiliar with these options, consult the printer documentation.

The entry looks similar to this:

local_print_queue_name|[printer_model_and_manufacturer]:\

:lp=:mx#0:rm=ZebraNet_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.

ZebraNet_name — This is the name (alias) of the ZebraNet print server. 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 ZebraNet 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.

Important • You must be logged in as root.

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 ZebraNet 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 print server print jobs

directed.

ZEBRAPRINTER — The host name or IP address of the remote system that is the print server

device. For example, to Telnet to any print server and invoke the print server configuration

utility, you would enter:

Telnet ZEBRAPRINTER

A host name is not required for the print server — the IP address can be used.

yourqueuename — This is the name of the queue on the ZebraNet and must end with LF1.

Prerequisites

Before you proceed, the following prerequisites must be met:

• The name ZEBRAPRINTER and the IP address assigned to the print server are in the

/etc/hosts file on the UNIX system.

• The LPD must be running on the UNIX system.

UNIX Configuration

To configure the UNIX machine so users can spool print jobs to the PCL print

queue on the ZebraNet named ZEBRAPRINTER, complete these steps:

1. Log in to the UNIX machine as root.

2. Type:

lpsystem -t bsd ZEBRAPRINTER

3. Type:

lpadmin -p lj4 -s ZEBRAPRINTER!yourqueuename - I any

4. Type:

accept lj4

5. Type:

enable lj4

6. Try printing by typing the command:

lp -d lj4 [filename]

Using Printing Protocols

In this section, you are given steps to set up your print server to support Internet Printing

Protocol (IPP) and File Transfer Protocol (FTP).

Using Printing Protocols

IPP

P1043301-005 11/21/13

IPP

Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) is an application-level protocol used for distributed printing

over the Internet. Using IPP from any standard IPP client, you can transfer jobs to a printer that

is connected to either your external ZebraNet 10/100 Print Server or your internal ZebraNet

10/100 Print Server for S4M, 105SL, PA X 4, and XiIIIPlus.

To set up your 10/100 Print Server to support IPP, complete these steps:

1. Open a browser.

2. Enter the 10/100 Print Server IPP URL as follows:

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:631/ipp/port1

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx = the IP address of the 10/100 print server device

:631 = a fixed value

/ipp = a fixed string designating IPP

/port1 = a fixed value

Important • You must have IPP support on your system.

Important • IPP support is not available on all 10/100 Internal Print Server printers. To be

certain you are running the latest version of firmware, visit http://www.zebra.com.

Example • Your address might look like this:

http:198.60.248.120:631/ipp/port1

Using Printing Protocols

FTP

11/21/13 P1043301-005

FTP

Embedded within the print server 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, perform these steps:

1. Open a command prompt and type:

ftp <IP of PS>

This opens a session with the FTP server.

2. Type your user name and press Enter.

3. Type:

put < filename>

where filename is the location and filename of your ZPL script

This transfers the file to the printer, and the printer generates a label.

4. To terminate the FTP session, type:

quit

Example • If the IP address of your print server device is 12.3.4.123, you would

type:

ftp 12.3.4.123

Note • By default, there is no user name.

• Nibble, Byte, and ECP modes are all

bidirectional modes. Data can be sent to

and from the printer.

• Nibble mode sends only 4 bits of data at

a time in the reverse direction from the

printer to the print server. When in

nibble mode, communications from the

print server to the printer are

accomplished via compatibility mode.

• Byte mode sends a full byte of data at a

time in the reverse direction from the

printer to the print server. When in byte

mode, communications from the print

server to the printer are accomplished

via compatibility mode.

• ECP mode is a complete forward and

reverse mode that more efficiently

transfers data.

Troubleshooting the Wireless Print Server

ZebraNet n Print Server Will Not Operate on the 5Ghz Band

You may need to set your country code in order to enable the 5Ghz band for the Zebranet n

Print Server.

• If you are using the wireless print server in the United States, Canada, or Japan, you will

not need to set the country code. These countries have been pre-set at the factory.

• If you are operating the print server anywhere else in the world, you must set the country

code to enable the 5GHz band. To set the country code, you must send a Set-Get-Do

command to the printer. For specific command information, see the Programming Guide

for ZPL II, ZBI 2, Set-Get-Do, Mirror and WML.

Resetting the Wireless Print Server to Factory Defaults

You may need to restore the network parameters to the factory defaults under the following

circumstances:

• If you download a different version of firmware to your printer

• If you need to reset the encryption keys (for instances where a key was entered incorrectly

or was forgotten)

After you return the network parameters to the defaults, you must reconfigure your printer to

use the wireless print server (see Configuration of Wireless Securities on page 51). If you

saved the ZPL script generated by the Wireless Setup Wizard, simply send this file to the

printer, and then power cycle the printer. If you were using a wireless password, you must set it

again (use the ^WP ZPL command or the wlan.password SGD command).

You can set the network parameters back to the factory defaults in two ways:

• The Restore Default Network Configuration button on the printer’s View and Modify

Printer Settings Page (see Figure 34 on page 123).

• The

DEFAULT NET option, which appears as an option when you exit Setup mode.

Refer to the User Guide for your printer for specific instructions on how to modify the

control panel parameters.

Note • The LOAD DEFAULTS option and the Restore Default Configuration button

reset all printer parameters other than network settings back to factory defaults. The network

settings will not change when these options are selected.

Hardware Troubleshooting

ZebraNet Bridge Discovery or Configuration Problems

140

P1043301-005 11/21/13

ZebraNet Bridge Discovery or Configuration Problems

If you are having problems using ZebraNet Bridge to discover or configure the unit, check the

following:

• Verify there is not a router between the workstation running ZebraNet Bridge and the print

server. Because the print server does not have an IP address, TCP/IP communication

cannot be started across a router. Run ZebraNet Bridge on the same subnet as the print

server.

• Verify the wired print server has a solid green light. If the LED shows a rapidly flashing

green light, check the network cable that is attached.

• Verify the wireless print server has authenticated tot he access point. See LCD Link Status

and Wireless Signal Indicators on page 52 for more detailed information.

Unable to Print

If you are having problems printing, verify that there is communication between the print

server and the printer. Check the following:

•

For the external ZebraNet 10/100 Print Server, print a configuration label by pressing the

test button. If a configuration label does not print, verify the printer has media and ribbon

(if used) and is not paused.

• For all print servers:

• 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 141 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.xxx is the IP address of the print server

141

Hardware Troubleshooting

Unable to Print

11/21/13 P1043301-005

4. See Figure 35. You see a reply from the print server indicating a connection.

Figure 35 • 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.

To print a configuration label by sending a ZPL II command, 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.xxx is the IP address of the print server.

This will connect your PC to the print server 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.

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.

Hardware Troubleshooting

Unable to Configure Device

142

P1043301-005 11/21/13

Unable to Configure Device

To assign an IP address to a ZebraNet print server using ZebraNet Bridge, you must be on the

same subnet. If ZebraNet Bridge has Multicast enabled, you may be able to view the ZebraNet

print server on another subnet, but you will not be able to configure the device.

HP JetAdmin or HP Web JetAdmin

The ZebraNet print server may be set up and managed using HP JetAdmin or HP Web

JetAdmin products.

The printer

acknowledges the

wireless radio card and

indicates a signal

strength, but the

printer does not appear

to connect to the

network.

The combination of signal strength

and signal quality at the printer

may not be good enough to

establish a connection to the

network.

Move the printer or the access point to

another location, or remove any

obstructions between the two. A direct line

of site between the printer and access point

provides the best results. Refer to the

third-party documentation for your access

point for additional recommendations and

limitations.

The printer is associated with, but

not authenticated with, your access

point.

1. Check your encryption settings.

2. Verify that your MAC address is

approved for the access point.

The printer does not

acknowledge the

wireless radio card.

The card may not be inserted

correctly.

Make sure that the wireless radio card is

affiliations between access points.

Check the access points on your WLAN,

particularly the one closest to the printer.

The wireless radio card is

repeatedly associating with two or

more access points because of

varying signal strengths.

Check the access points on your WLAN to

determine what is causing the signal

strengths to vary.

P1043301-005 11/21/13

IP Issues

Table 26 • IP Issues and Recommended Solutions

Issue Possible Cause Recommended Solution

The printer shows

IP address

192.168.254.254, which

does not appear to

work.

IP address 192.168.254.254 is a

default address. The printer shows

this address after it times out while

trying to connect. The printer was

likely set to an incorrect static IP

address.

Enter a valid static IP address.

Set IP Protocol to All.

The DHCP server is not

functioning, so a dynamic IP

address is not being assigned. The

printer timed out and shows the

default IP address of

192.168.254.254.

Check the DHCP server.

On my control panel,

the IP settings are

missing or show all

zeroes

(000.000.000.000).

Actual IP settings (IP Resolution,

IP Address, Subnet Mask, and

Default Gateway) will only appear

when the printer is associated to

and authenticated with the WLAN.

Until the time that the printer

recognizes the existence of a

ZebraNet print server, these

parameters will not show through

the control panel. After the print

server is recognized, all zeroes will

display until the printer obtains an

IP address or defaults to address

192.168.254.254.

1. Allow more time for the printer to

complete its connection and obtain an

IP address.

2. If the printer does not connect, check

that there is an adequate signal between

the printer and the access point. If

necessary, move the printer or the access

point to another location, or remove any

obstructions between the two. A direct

line of site between the printer and

access point provides the best results.

Refer to the third-party documentation

for your access point for

recommendations and limitations.

3. Check the IP Protocol setting. If using a

static setting, the value entered might

not be valid.

The IP address for my

wired print server does

not bring up the

printer home page.

If both a wired and wireless print

server are installed on a printer at

the same time and the wireless

printer is the primary/active print

server, the printer web pages can

be accessed only through the

wireless print server’s IP address.

In your browser window, type in the IP

address of the wireless print server.

Frequently Asked Questions

This section provides a group of frequently asked questions (FAQs) about Zebra’s wired and

wireless print servers.

FAQs

Can the print server option work on a computer network that is running both

TCP/IP and IPX protocols simultaneously? Yes. The print server runs all of its

available protocols simultaneously. This means that the print server can run on mixed

networks such as a network using Microsoft, and UNIX.

Will the ZebraNet print server allow connectivity to anything other than a PC

network? Yes. The ZebraNet print server allows connectivity to systems such as IBM’s

AS400, provided that it is configured using TCP/IP. Other network protocols can be used with

third-party adapters that are converted to 10BASE-T or 100BASE-T.

Important • The ZebraNet print servers do not support IPX, but they can function on

networks that use protocols.

UDP Ports:

• 161 SNMP broadcast from print server

• 162 SNMP trap on ZebraNet Alert

• 4201 discovery destination on print server

• (dynamic) SNMP get request from ZebraNet Bridge

• (dynamic) discovery broadcast from ZebraNet Bridge

What is the default User ID and password for the print server?

• The User ID is admin and the password is 1234.

What are my network connectivity options based on when using a print

server?

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 via a FTP client as standard ASCII files.

• HTTP — (ZebraLink-enabled printers only) Using the script option of the print server’s

homepage, you can type ZPL into a specified location of the Web browser and send it to

the printer.

• IPP — Using third-party IPP clients, print jobs can be sent via the Internet.

• 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 ZPL/EPL files 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. IMPORTANT: Attachments and subject lines

are not supported.

10BASE-T A type of Ethernet that uses unshielded twisted pair cable.

100BASE-T A type of Ethernet that can transmit 100Mb of data per second with a

twisted-pair cable.

ARP The standard TCP/IP method for determining the actual network address of a device

based on its IP address.

ASCII A standard for the binary representation of characters.

BOOTP BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) is a protocol that lets a network user be automatically

configured (receive an IP address) and have an operating system booted (initiated) without

user involvement. The BootP server automatically configures the following information: IP

address, gateway, subnet, system name, name server, and more 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).

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

defines security characteristics. The community concept is a local one, defined at the agent.

Each community is given a unique community name.

current mode (parallel port) A mode that the printer and print server negotiate.

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 any print server, 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.

Extensible Authentication Protocol over Flexible Authentication via Secure

Tunneling (EAP-FAST) Extensible Authentication Protocol-Flexible Authentication via

Secure Tunneling (EAP-FAST) is a publicly accessible IEEE 802.1X EAP type developed by

Cisco Systems. It is available as an IETF informational draft. Extensible Authentication

Protocol-Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling (EAP-FAST) is a publicly accessible

IEEE 802.1X EAP type developed by Cisco Systems. It is available as an IETF informational

draft. Cisco developed EAP-FAST to support customers who cannot enforce a strong

password policy and wish to deploy an 802.1X EAP type that does not require digital

certificates, supports a variety of user and password database types, supports password

expiration and change, and is flexible, easy to deploy, and easy to manage. For example, a

customer using Cisco LEAP who cannot enforce a strong password policy and does not want

to use certificates can migrate to EAP-FAST for protection from dictionary attacks.

Extensible Authentication Protocol over Transport Layer Security

(EAP-TLS) Second generation Wi-Fi security. Current Wi-Fi security standards (802.1x)

define the use of the TLS protocol encapsulated within the Extensible Authentication Protocol

(EAP) as one of the strongest security mechanisms for Wi-Fi. Using EAP-TLS provides well-

regarded, standards-based security between an access point and a Wi-Fi client. This is a

Microsoft standard.

• A form of 802.1X (EAP) authentication

• Uses client and server certificates for mutual authentication (PKI)

• TLS 1.0 (Transport Layer Security) is based on Secure Socket Layer (SSL) 3.0

Extensible Authentication Protocol over Tunneled Transport Layer Security

(EAP-TTLS) EAP-TTLS is an extension of EAP-TLS which provides for certificate-based,

mutual authentication of the client and network. Unlike EAP-TLS, however, EAP-TTLS

requires only server-side certificates, eliminating the need to configure certificates for each

WLAN client. In addition, it supports legacy password protocols, so you can deploy it against

your existing authentication system (such as tokens or Active Directories.) It securely tunnels

client authentication within TLS records, ensuring that the user remains anonymous to

eavesdroppers on the wireless link and the entire network to the RADIUS server.

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 any print server.

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. Note: When using

ZebraNet Bridge, a wired PS with an address of 0.0.0.0 can only be discovered through a local

broadcast.

IP Internet Protocol, one of the main protocols of the TCP/IP protocol suite.

IP address A network address used by the TCP/IP protocol.

IPP Internet Printing Protocol. Allows you to associate a printer with a URL address that is

used for printing over the Internet.

JetAdmin A Hewlett-Packard printer management program available for NetWare and

TCP/IP.

Kerberos Network authentication protocol that uses the concept of a time-limited “ticket”

for access to network resources. Kerberos uses key distribution and client/server

authentication.

Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol

(LEAP or Lightweight EAP) A non-standard Wireless Security protocol from Cisco.

LEAP uses mutual authentication, meaning that both the user and the access point must be

authenticated before access to the LAN is allowed. Mutual authentication can help protect

wireless networks from rogue access points, man-in-the-middle attacks, sniffing attacks, and

active attacks. Based on 802.1X EAP protocol.

liquid crystal display (LCD) The LCD is a back-lit display that provides the user with

either operating status during normal operation or option menus when configuring the printer

to a specific application.

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 stand 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.

name server A workstation on a TCP/IP network that provides a list of all workstations on

the network.

node A device connected to a network, such as a computer or print server.

Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP) A draft standard for a

common approach to wireless-network user authentication.

• A form of 802.1X authentication

• Currently an IETF draft (still subject to change)

• Performs mutual client/server authentication using transport layer security (TLS), but only

requires a server certificate

• With no client certificate, configuration is easier than EAP-TLS
