1-2 Print Server Installation Manual
1.1 Basic Terminology
In order to install your print server, you will need various data and
parameters. This information will be explained in this section.
1.1.1. Hardware Address
Structure of
Hardware Address
A print server is addressable by means of its world-wide unique
hardware address. This address is commonly referred to as the
MAC or Ethernet address. The manufacturer has defined this
address in the hardware of the print server. The address consists of
12 hexadecimal numbers. The first six numbers represent the
manufacturer, while the last six numbers represent the individual
card.
Where Can I Find
the Hardware
Address?
The hardware address of your print server is on a label pasted onto
the actual card and can be read easily. On the print server, you will
find a hardware address of '00c0eb0001ff.' Here, '00c0eb'
identifies the manufacturer, while '0001ff' is the number of your
print server. If your print server has already been installed, you can
find the hardware address using either the print server homepage,
the KyoNetCon, SNMP, or the status page.
Spelling of
Hardware Address
You must enter the hardware address during the installation of the
print server software. This entry varies depending on the operating
system in use:
