Linx 8900
MAC Address
A Media Access Control (MAC) address is an address that identifies network hardware.
The printer software automatically detects the MAC address. You cannot edit this value.
Default Gateway
This option allows you to specify a default gateway that allows the printer to access the
internet instead of a Local Area Network (LAN).The default setting is blank. Touch the
Default Gateway button to enter the IP address of the gateway in the format
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, and then touch the Save button.
If DHCP is enabled and a default gateway is specified, the printer uses this address in
preference to the address that is supplied by DHCP. If DHCP is not enabled, the printer
only uses a default gateway if a default gateway address is specified.
Name Server IP Address
This option is available if the DHCP option is disabled. It is used to link the domain name
used for a network (for example, linxglobal.com) to an IP address to correctly route data to
the network. Touch the Name Server IP Address button to enter the IP address of the name
server in the format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, and then touch the Save button.
Domain Name
This option is available if the DHCP option is disabled. It allows you to enter a memorable
public domain name for your network. Touch the Domain Name button and enter your
chosen domain name.

Ethernet and RS-232 settings for communications, including remote communications. See

Touch the Remote Fields button to display the Remote Field List screen. This screen
displays a list of the names of any Remote fields that have been created. If no Remote fields
have been created, the list is empty. See ‘Add a Remote field’ on page 104 for more
information about how to create Remote fields.

when they occur. Touch the Warnings button to display the Warnings screen with a list of
all printer overspeed warnings. By default all the warnings are enabled. Touch the button
for the required warning to disable that warning. Touch the button again to enable the
warning.
