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. 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. 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. 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).

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. • • • • • • • • • • • P1043301-005 Xi4 R110Xi4 ZD500R ZM400 ZM600 ZT410 ZT420 RZ400 RZ600 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 11/21/13 Getting Started Determining the Active Print Server Table 14 • Results of Check for Wired Print Server for 105SL, XiIIIPlus, Z4Mplus, Z6Mplus, and PAX4 Series Printers If the Check for Wired Print Server is set to: Installed and Connected to a Live Ethernet Network Wired Wireless* X X Skip Then the Active Print Server will be: Wireless X Wired X Check X Wireless X Wired X Wired X Wireless * NOTE: A wireless option board must have an active radio that can properly associate to an access point.

The four different ways to assign an IP address are: • DHCP • ZebraNet Bridge • Printer Control Panel/LCD • Telnet Important • For specific information on the default User ID and/or default password, see Default User ID and Password on page 43. With Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) If your network uses DHCP, your print server device is assigned a temporary IP address. Note • Check with your Network Administrator to see whether your network uses DHCP. 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. P1043301-005 11/21/13 Getting Started Assigning an IP Address on any Print Server 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: 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. 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. Important • To change any of these settings, you need to enter the printer password. The default password is 1234. 11/21/13 • 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) P1043301-005 61 62 Getting Started Assigning an IP Address on any Print Server 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. 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. 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 Note • The zero (0) placed at the end of the “route add” command is optional on some systems. 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. P1043301-005 11/21/13 Getting Started Assigning an IP Address on any Print Server Gleaning A method by which the print server uses the IP address of the first ping packet that is sent to its hardware address. Note • Gleaning works only on local subnets at routers. It does not pass Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) broadcasts. 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 Example • You would type: arp -s 10.3.50.59 00-07-4d-1D-B9-86 2. Power cycle the printer. 3. As the printer reboots, begin a continuous ping to the address assigned previously. 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" 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. 11/21/13 P1043301-005 63 64 Getting Started Setting and Monitoring Alerts on Any Print Server 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.

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. Important • You must be logged in as root. 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. 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. P1043301-005 11/21/13 Printing Queues System V Queue Installation System V Queue Installation 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.

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, PAX4, and XiIIIPlus. 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. 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 Example • Your address might look like this: http:198.60.248.120:631/ipp/port1 P1043301-005 11/21/13 Using Printing Protocols FTP 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 Example • If the IP address of your print server device is 12.3.4.123, you would type: ftp 12.3.4.123 This opens a session with the FTP server. 2. Type your user name and press Enter. Note • By default, there is no user name. 3.

Some email servers will lock accounts after repeated login attempts. Output Port Configuration This feature allows you to change the Parallel Port Mode setting. Selections for Parallel Port Mode include Compatibility, Nibble, Byte, and ECP. • Compatibility is a unidirectional forward mode used only for sending data to the printer. • 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. 11/21/13 P1043301-005 119 120 Print Server Web Pages Print Server Features Print Server Status From the Print Server page in the Print Server Status section, you can access the print server configuration page and port status.

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. 11/21/13 P1043301-005 139 140 Hardware Troubleshooting ZebraNet Bridge Discovery or Configuration Problems 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.

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. OR 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 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. P1043301-005 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.

If using a static setting, the value entered might not be valid. 11/21/13 10 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. Important • The ZebraNet print servers do not support IPX, but they can function on networks that use protocols. 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. 11/21/13 P1043301-005 148 Frequently Asked Questions FAQs What if a print job makes it to the queue, but never leaves the queue? The label does not print. See Table 27 for more information. Table 27 • Things to Check Issue Possible Cause Recommended Solution If a print job makes it to the queue, but never leaves the queue? Printer is not turned on Confirm that the printer is turned on and receiving power. Printer is using a bad or wrong network cable. Confirm that the network cable is plugged in and that you can ping the printer. There was a misconfiguration while creating the queue. Verify the following: 1. Confirm that you use the print server’s valid IP address. 2. If you are using a UNIX or AS/400 host, there is an option for the remote queue name. There is only one valid response to use: PORTLF1. 3. If Windows does not have an LPR installed, the above required option should be left blank. See the documentation for other operating system specific queue creation. What are the minimum requirements to network a printer on a wired network? • Cat-5 network cable with 10BASE-T or 100BASE-T connectors • Internal or external print server • Hub or Switch • If a hub or switch is NOT used, you need a cross-over cable. • Workstation running a TCP stack with print services installed. What ports are open on any print server and related software? TCP Ports: • 21 FTP • 23 Telnet • 80 HTTP Server • 515 Printer port • 631 IPP port • 9100 Raw socket connection P1043301-005 11/21/13 Frequently Asked Questions FAQs 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 • (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.

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. 11/21/13 P1043301-005 152 Glossary 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.

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 wellregarded, 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. P1043301-005 11/21/13 Glossary 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. 11/21/13 P1043301-005 153 154 Glossary parallel port A port on a device that sends information in groups of bits over multiple wires, one wire for each bit in a group. ping A TCP/IP command that determines whether a device is accessible on the network. POP3 Post Office Protocol, the protocol used to retrieve email from the server. port A physical connector, such as the parallel port, or a logical connection to a device. post-string A string that is sent at the end of every job going to the logical printer. Maximum 64 characters long. pre-string A string that is sent at the beginning of each job that goes to the logical printer. Max 64 characters long. print server A device in a network that changes a network protocol into a printer protocol. protocol A method of sending and receiving data between two or more workstations on a network, and ensuring that the data is received without errors. 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 RARP Reverse Arp, a standard TCP/IP method of determining a device’s IP address based on its Ethernet address. raw TCP port A type of TCP port in which data is passed unmodified to the receiving node. RJ45 A type of modular jack connector similar to a telephone connector with up to eight wires. Used for 10BASE-T and 100BASE-T Ethernet connections and for serial port connections. serial port On a printer or print server, a port that transfers data one bit at a time. Serial ports usually have either a 25-pin, 9-pin “D,” or RJ-45 connector setting mode (parallel port). A mode that the print server is set to for the highest level of parallel port communications. server A device on a local area network that provides services to client computers on the network. SMTP Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, a protocol used to send email messages over the Internet. SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol, a protocol for monitoring and controlling devices on a network. P1043301-005 11/21/13 Glossary spooling In printing applications, spooling is the transfer of data to a temporary storage area on disk (the print queue) prior to printing. Spooling allows many jobs to be queued to a single printer. static Refers to a static IP address. All information is provided by the network administrator. subnet mask A TCP/IP method of dividing a network into several smaller subnetworks. TCP/IP Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol, the de facto standard for Internet communications that is widely used on local area networks. TCP Port A method of accessing a TCP/IP service, where a device with a single IP address can have multiple TCP ports. Telnet A TCP/IP protocol that allows two devices to communicate over a LAN. trap An unsolicited message sent by an SNMP agent to an SNMP management station. It notifies the management station of some unusual event. UNIX A general-purpose computer operating system used on many different kinds of computers. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) WPA is a security protocol for wireless local area networks (WLANs) that includes encryption and user authentication. Wireless Encryption Protocol (WEP) WEP is a security protocol for wireless local area networks (WLANs) that secures data transmissions using 64-bit or 128-bit encryption. ZebraNet 10/100 Print Server An Ethernet connectivity solution. ZebraLink Allows you to connect and control your bar code printers anywhere and anytime. ZPL II Zebra Programming Language II is a powerful label-definition and printer-control language. 11/21/13 P1043301-005 155 156 Glossary Notes •
