Ethernet printer location and IP configuration utility.
setupifbdhehw_v201_w2k-xp-me_20060706.zip
231KB

This utility serves two purposes, to locate any Star Ethernet printers on the local area network (MAC address matching), and to configure those printers with an IP address (temporary). When Star Ethernet printers are first setup, if there is a DHCP server available, the printer will automatically be given an IP address. So that you can know which IP address was assigned to the printer, this utility locates all Star Ethernet printers on the local area network and displays the IP addresses currently associated with those devices. If there is no DHCP server available then the printer must be assigned a static IP address.
This utility allows you to locate your printer on the local area network and then to assign that printer a temporary IP address. The address assigned through this utility will remain associated with the printer until it is turned off.
To assign a permanent IP address to the printer, navigate your web browser to http://192.168.32.96 (replacing 192.168.32.96 with whichever IP address you assigned using this software), and configure the printer via its web interface. This software requires that the printer's main firmware support the Ethernet interface card, and that the Ethernet interface card have firmware version 2.0.2 or newer installed. You can verify that this level of support is available in your printer by executing its self test,
which is done by holding down the feed button while turning the printer on. Further down the print, the Ethernet interface information is printed.
