Options
Linx 5900 & 7900
Subnet Mask
The subnet mask is a mask that assigns an IP address to a given subnet. An IP
address has two components—the network address and the host address. The
format depends on the type of IP address assigned. Contact your network
administrator for more information.
Default Gateway
A default gateway is a node on the network that allows connection to another
network. Contact your network administrator for more information.
MAC Address
A Media Access Control (MAC) address is an address that identifies network
hardware. The printer software automatically detects the MAC address.
Re-connect
If there are problems with the network connection, this option allows you to
reconnect to the network without restarting the printer.
NOTE: When you configure the Ethernet setup, your host application must address TCP/IP
port 29043.
2.4 Linx Insight
Linx Insight® is a remote web interface for message download and control that uses the
Ethernet connection of the printer. It is a standard feature on the 7900 printer and a
configurable option on the 5900 printer.
The functionality allows you to remotely monitor and control the printer through a web
browser from a PC or a web-enabled phone.
To set up Linx Insight®:
1 Assign a static IP address to the printer (see ‘Configure the Ethernet setup’ on
page 17 for more information). Navigate to the IP Address page (Menu > Setup >
Communications > Ethernet Setup > IP Address) and enter a static IP address.
Contact your network administrator if you are unsure of the address to enter.
2 Use the Ethernet connection on the rear of the printer to connect the printer to your
network.
To use Linx Insight® with a PC:
NOTE: The following PC web browsers are supported: Internet Explorer®, Firefox® FF8
and FF9, Chrome™ 14 and 15, and Safari® 5.
