1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This is an embedded network interface card (printer server) for STAR POS printers.*
* In this document, this product is called NIC (an acronym for network interface card).
1.1 Features
Supports Star Micronics POS printers (including card readers and writers). See section 2.1 Model Names for details on supported printers. This product receives electric power from the printer, so there is no need to prepare a separate AC adapter.
The physical layer conforms to IEEE802.3/3u (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX). Ethernet communication settings (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX, Full/Half Duplex) with the
connected device are doen using Auto Negotiation. This can be used in a LAN (Local Area Network) environment. Communication protocols support TCP/IP (IPv4). Prints using LPR, Raw Socket Print (TCP #9100) and FTP protocols. This receives status information (ready status, causes of errors, and the like) issued from the
printer and allows that information to be loaded onto a host device. Can be used simultaneously from multiple protocols.
Raw Socket Print (#9100) also prints using multi-session.(*1) (Note *1) The factory default setting for multi-session for Raw Socket Print (#9100) differs between the old product IFBD-HE05/06/BE05 and this product IFBD-HE07/08/BE07.Be careful if you are switching from an old product. IFBD-HE05/06/BE05 (old product): Valid IFBD-HE07/08/BE07 (this product): Invalid The IP address for this product can be static or obtained by DHCP/BOOTP, RARP, ARP/Ping. Flash ROM is mounted on the board. Firmware updates are possible via FTP over a network. You can change this product and printer settings and monitor their states using device specific setting utilities, HTTP (WEB), TELNET, and FTP. Network settings that are set using HTTP (Web), Telnet, FTP for the IP address and #9100 multi-session are stored in the product's non-volatile memory. To be prepared for the unlikely event that the main firmware malfunctions for some reason, the boot loader of this product is provided a TFTP client function to allow you to download firmware from the server over the network for recovery of your firmware. Supports Star Micronics' Windows Printer Driver, OPOS Driver, JPOS Driver (Windows, Linux, and Mac), CUPS Driver (Linux, Mac) Supports the proprietary Star webPRNT function from STAR MICRONICS CO., LTD. that allows direct printing from Web applications that support HTML 5. (IFBD-HE07X/08X/BE07X only)
1.2 Differences between IFBD-HE07/08/BE07 and IFBD-07X/08X/BE07X
IFBD-HE07/08/BE07 and IFBD-07X/08X/BE07X are different products. Some of these products support Star webPRNT and some do not.
IFBD-HE07/08/BE07: Star webPRNT not supported IFBD-HE07X/08X/BE07X: Star webPRNT supported IFBD-HE07X/08X/BE07X is upwardly compatible with IFBD-HE07/08/BE07, and except for sections involving the Star webPRNT function the specifications for IFBD-HE07/08/BE07 are covered by the specifications for IFBDHE07X/08X/BE07X. See "4. Star webPRNT Function" for more details.

If product settings are changed, use either of the protocols of HTTP (WEB), TELNET, or FTP to log-in with an account having administrator rights for this product. The following outlines administrator account information in HTTP (WEB), TELNET, and FTP.
Administrator Account Name Password
"root" (required) "public" (required)
* The password can be changed after logging in.
1.3.3 Log-in Password of User Right Setting At the Time of Factory Shipment
If only viewing this products settings or status information using TELNET or FTP, it is necessary to log-in with a user right account for this product. It is not necessary to log-in to view status information using HTTP (WEB). The following outlines user right account information in TELNET and FTP.
User Right Account Name Password
"user" (required) "guest" (required)
However, for FTP, it is possible to log-in as anonymous (any account name and password).
* The password can be changed after logging in.
1.3.4 IP Address Setting
There are two ways to set this product's IP address. They are the static method (fixed conditions) and dynamic (DHCP/BOOTP, RARP, and ARP/Ping). See section 3.1.1 IP Address Setting" for details on the process to acquire an IP address. Static and dynamic settings cannot both be valid at the same time. For that reason, it is necessary to disable the dynamic settings (DHCP/BOOTP, RARP) to use static settings (a fixed IP address written to non-volatile memory). Also, if the dynamic settings (DHCP/BOOTP) are valid, it is necessary to set all static settings (IP address, sub-net mask, and default gateway) to 0.0.0.0. When using this product, take care that when setting using HTTP (WEB), FTP or TELNET, that both of these are not valid at the same time. Acquired address information while operating can be checked by making a self-print when starting up the power.

2.6. Ethernet Communication Conditions
The communication link conditions with the connecting device of the Ethernet are determined by Auto Negotiation.
If this product is connected directly to an intelligent switch hub or intelligent hub, the physical link may take some time to become established. In such cases, if set to get the IP address from a DHCP/BOOTP server, a timeout error could occur while waiting to get the address from DHCP/BOOTP, and it will fail to get the address. (Note 1) A workaround is to change the DIPSW1 to invalidate the timeout for getting the IP address. For details on how to set DIPSW 1, see section 3.2.3 DIP Switches.
Note 1:
This issue sometimes can be overcome by setting up a normal hub (non-intelligent) between the product and intelligent switch.
2.7. Network Connection Cable
If the connecting device (hub, router or host device) does not support Auto MDI/MDI-X, be careful of the type of cable you use (straight or cross). Normally, when connecting to a hub or router (MDI-X), use a straight cable. For a host device (MDI), use a cross cable for connecting Peer-to-Peer.
Use the following cable standards. Cable Standard: Cable Length:
Category 5 or higher UTP cable 100 m or less

3.1.1 IP Address Setting
This product has a static (fixed condition) and dynamic (DHCP/BOOTP, RARP, and ARP/Ping) IP address. It is possible to specify a sub-net mask and default gateway with static and DHCP, BOOTP. In the default settings, static is invalid and dynamic is valid. The following pages describe how to acquire an IP address for each. See section 3.1.1.5 Transition of Processes in IP Address Acquisition. This product allows you to check the current IP parameter information while operating by a self-print when turning the power on. This is output in the following format after running a self-print. See section 3.2.5 Self-test Print for details on running a self print.
* Protocol:
The IP address acquisition protocol below is shown in the parentheses of the operating IP address line.
(Static):
Static (Fixed address)
(DHCP):
Gets from DHCP server
(BOOTP):
Gets from BOOTP server
(RARP):
Gets from RARP server
(Didn't obtain):
No IP address was acquired.
You can find the MAC address to use in this section by using one of the following methods. 1. Execute a printer self-print (see section 3.2.5). 2. Check the first 12 characters in the barcode label affixed to the I/F card connector.
Example for when the MAC address is 00:11:62:11:11:11
3-2
IFBD-HE0708 BE07 User's Manual
3.1.1.1. Static
If the fixed IP address, sub-net mask, and default gateway are stored in non-volatile memory, the printer will always startup with the fixed conditions when the power is turned on. If started with fixed conditions, there is no DHCP/BOOTP, RARP request. ARP/Ping is also invalid. In default no fixed address is registered, so after dynamically acquiring one using either of the methods of DHCP, BOOTP, RARP, or ARP/Ping, described below, register the fixed address with the WEB, TELNET or FTP service.
3.1.1.2. DHCP, BOOTP
This product is set so that DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)/BOOTP (BOOT strap Protocol) is valid so you can acquire an IP address, sub-net mask, and default gateway from a DHCP or BOOTP server. The default setting is DHCP, BOOTP: "enabled" A work-station running DHCP or BOOTP server over a LAN network is required for IP address settings using DHCP, BOOTP.
The number of DHCP/BOOTP requests differs according to the DIPSW 1 settings on this product. DIPSW1 = OFF: This is issued three times 20 seconds after the TCP/IP startup. (Factory Default Setting) DIPSW1 = ON: Occurs unlimited times until the address is acquired.
There is a partial compatibility of the DHCP Discover protocol with BOOTP Request, so both are handled as being the same. For example, if a BOOTP Replay is returned first to the DHCP Discover, the BOOTP acquired address is used.
The DHCP, BOOTP Request is constantly broadcast with (255.255.255.255). However, only the DHCP Renew Request (extension request of the address usage period) is issued to the server that acquired that address.
When the address information is acquired using DHCP, BOOTP, RARP and ARP/Ping are invalidated. The address acquired using DHCP, BOOTP is lost when the power is turned off without being written to the
non-volatile memory. When acquiring an IP address from a DHCP server, the Subnet Mask is also acquired. When an IP address is acquired from a BOOTP server, the following Subnet Mask is used.
[F/W Ver. 2.3.0 or older] The Subnet Mask is calculated automatically from the IP address. [F/W Ver. 3.0.0 or later] -When Subnet Mask (BOOT) = HE05 Emulation: The Subnet Mask is acquired from the BOOTP server. (Default settings) -When Subnet Mask (BOOT) = HE07 Emulation: The Subnet Mask is calculated automatically from the IP ad dress. This setting can be changed by Telnet.
Settings: Register the combination of the IP address to be set, sub-net mask, default gateway and Mac address to the DHCP/BOOTP server and then turn on the printer power.
3.1.1.3. RARP
This product can obtain the IP address from the RARP server by setting the RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol) to be valid. The default setting is RARP: "Valid" A work-station running a RARP server over a LAN network is required for IP address settings using RARP.
When using RARP, DIPSW1 on this product must be turned OFF. The RARP Request is issued once when 15 seconds have passed after the TCP/IP startup. However, if the IP
address is obtained by the DHCP/BOOTP within 15 seconds, the RARP request is not generated. When the RARP address information is acquired using ARP/Ping is invalidated. You cannot get a subnet mask or default gateway from RARP servers. The address acquired using RARP is lost when the power is turned off without being written to the non-volatile
memory.
Settings: Register the combination of the IP and MAC addresses to be set, to the RARP server, and then turn on the printer power.
3.1.1.4. ARP/Ping
Register the combination of the IP and MAC address of NIC to the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) table on the host device and set the IP address using the Ping ARP by issuing a ping.
When using RARP, DIPSW1 on this product must be turned OFF. Operations with an IP address set by ARP/Ping are possible only when the IP address is not acquired even
with either of the methods of DHCP/BOOTP and RARP, when the Static address is not set. You cannot acquire a sub-net mask and default gateway with ARP/Ping. An address can be acquired using ARP/Ping only one time. The address acquired using ARP/Ping is lost when the power is turned off without being written to the non-
volatile memory.
Setting examples are provided on the next page.

IFBD-HE0708 BE07 User's Manual
Setting example using ARP/Ping This explanation assumes the MAC addres is 00:11:62:12:34:56, and the IP address is 192.168.10.2. (1) Turn on the printer equipped with this product. Wait for the printer to be ready for the ARP/Pping. (Normally, this is approximately 35 seconds.) Or, execute a self-print on the printer and wait for the following to be printed.
(2) Avoid duplicating address by clearing the ARP table existing on the host device. arp -d 192.168.10.2 arp -a
(3) Register the combination of IP and MAC addresses to the ARP table on the host device. (For UNIX/Linux) Shell Input arp -s 192.168.10.2 00:11:62:12:34:56 arp a
(For Windows) Command Prompt Input arp -s 192.168.10.2 00-11-62-12-34-56 arp a
(4) Ping from the host device. ping 192.168.10.2
(5) Check that there was an echo response to the specified address from NIC. However, there is no echo response the first time because it is used only to acquire the IP address. There is a response to the second and subsequent pings.
ping 192.168.10.2 No response (timeout) ping 192.168.10.2 echo response ping 192.168.10.2 echo response ping 192.168.10.2 echo response
(6) Lastly, delete the ARP table registered at (3). Always delete the table to avoid duplicating addresses.
arp -d 192.168.10.2 arp -a

3.1.1.5 Transition of Processes in IP Address Acquisition
When Static is valid If Static (fixed address) is set, startup always relies upon the Static condition (fixed address). In such a case, DCHP/BOOTP, RARP, ARP/Ping become invalid, and startup does not occur.
When Static is invalid (default) If Static (a fixed address) has not been, see the information below for details on the relationships (timing) for starting/stopping the server that provides the passing of time from the startup of the TCP/IP (*) and dynamic addresses. When the NIC setting is initialized, operations follow this timing. Note that there is an error of approximately ±3 in the times disclosed below. * There are approximately 14 seconds from the time the power is turned on to the startup of the TCP/IP.

Time after starting TCP/IP (seconds)
[Lower leve: Time after turning on the power (seconds)]
The first IP address acquired by either protocol becomes the NIC operating address, and all other protocols are invalid. The details are outlined below.
The IP address acquired first by either DCHP and BOOTP in the time between 0 to 15 seconds is valid. When the IP address information is valid during that time, RARP and ARP/Ping do not start.
The IP address acquired first by either DCHP, BOOTP, and RARP in the time between 15 and 20 seconds is valid. Addresses provided thereafter from another server are discarded. When the IP address information is valid during that time, ARP/Ping do not start.
<DIPSW1 = ON> The DHCHP/BOOTP valid region is an infinite time after TCP/IP startup. If such cases, RARP, and ARP/Ping cannot be used. If this product is connected directly to an intelligent switch or intelligent hub, the physical link may take some time to become established. In such cases, a timeout will occur while waiting to get the DHCP/BOOTP address, and it will fail to get the IP address. In such cases, set DIPSW1 = ON to ignore the IP address acquisition timeout.

3.1.2. LPR/LPD
The LPR protocol supported by the LPD of this product conforms to RFC1179 (partially unsupported). The list of logic printer names is handled as the queue name. LPR is an acronym for Line PRinter daemon protocol. It was originally a printing protocol prescribed as a UNIX printing system. Currently, it is supported as standard on Windows (NT and later)."LPR" is sometimes used as an execution file name of the LPR printing utility software. The print server (Daemon) that supports LPR is called an LPD (Line Printer Daemon). LPD uses TCP communication port 515.
The reception buffer for print data is 1 M bytes (shared with Raw Socket Print). It does not support burner printing. Set to "Ip" on the host device-port settings when specifying a queue name.
Enable this if the LPR byte counter-added enable/disable can be selected. See section 6.3 Driver Support Table for details on support by Star Micronics' drivers. If you are using a standard Windows TCP/IP printer port and a CUPS (UNIX, Linux, or Mac) driver, see section
5.3 Driver Support Table for important notes. Since there are additional instructions when using a Windows standard TCP/IP printer port or a CUPS (UNIX/
Linux, Mac) driver,See "6.3 Driver Support Table".

3.1.3. Raw Socket Print
This product supports Raw Socket Print communication for printing under the TCP/IP environment. With Raw Socket Print, all data flowing during the TCP session is considered data handled between the printer and host device, and bidirectional data distribution is performed. See the table below for TCP communications port specifications.

· Factory default setting is 0 (ignored). · When there is a timeout, forcible disconnects connection.
The reception buffer for print data is 1 M bytes (shared with LPR). The maximum number of sessions received for port 9100 is set using NIC settings (9100 Multi Session).
When set to "9100 Multi Session Enable," the maximum number of sessions for reception is 8; when set to "9100 Multi Session "Disable," the maximum number of sessions for reception is 1. When there are receptions for connection requests that exceed this number, a rejection packet (TCP Reset) is issued to the host device.
Note: Precautions regarding switching from old products IFBD-HE05/06/BE05 Be careful because the multi-session settings for Raw Socket Print (#9100) in the factory default settings are different. Set the multi-session settings using HTTP (Web), Telnet, FTP. We recommend setting to the same conditions when switching from an older product. (For details, see section 6.3 Driver Support Table.)
#9100 Multi Session Factory Default Settings · IFBD-HE05/06/BE05 (old product): Valid · IFBD-HE07/08/BE07 (this product): Invalid
When Multi Session is valid, and print data is received at the same time as multiple sessions are received from the host device, the session that first received the print data occupies the printer port, and print data of other sessions accumulates in the NIC reception buffer until the session is closed. Note that the session reception order and print output order do not always match.
Data coming from the printer to the host host device is status information obtained from the printer. * See the printer's specifications manual for details on the contents of status information.
Disconnection of the TCP session (TCP FIN, RST) is considered the end to one session. In that case, special communication procedures with the printer are not done. If special procedures are required, such as terminating printing, do so from the host device. If the RST packet is sent when the TCP session is disconnected from the host device side, some or all of the
print data may be erased.
You can automatically free a session that is unused while being connected, by setting the data reception data timeout 9100 Data Timeout. The data reception timeout can be set in 0, 30, 40, 60, 120, 180, 360 seconds. The settings can be made using WEB, Telnent and FTP, and the values are stored in the product's non-volatile memory. Factory default settings is 0 (timeout invalid).
See section 6.3 Driver Support Table for details on support by Star Micronics' drivers. Since this protocol cannot be used when using a Windows standard TCP/IP printer port or a CUPS (UNIX/
Linux, Mac) driver, specify LPR (LPD). For the user to create a socket communication program, see the communication procedures between the host
device and printer, below.

IFBD-HE0708 BE07 User's Manual
Communication Procedures (1) Establish a TCP connection between the host and printer. (2) When the NSB feature (*) is valid: The host device sends and reads the status (NSB) sent by the printer. (Required)If the status data is not sent here, it is possible that the printer is not ready to receive the print data, so always do this. (3) Send Print Data (4) When the ASB feature (*1) is valid, receive the status because the printer sends the status to the host device when its status changes. When the host device sends a status request command, receive because the status is returned for that command. Repeat steps (3) and (4) until print data ends. (5) Disconnect TCP connection from the host (Client) to the Printer (server).
Note: Before disconnecting the TCP connection with the printer, the host device must receive all of the status data sent from the printer.
Note: NSB feature: Sends status to host device when TCP#9100 is connected to the port ASB feature: Sends automatic status to host device each time there is a change on the printer
See each printer's specifications manual and command specifications manuals for information related to valid/invalid settings of the NSB and ASB features.

3.1.8. FTP Server
You can make NIC settings, get the status, print and overwrite NIC firmware by uploading or downloading files to any specified directory using the product's FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server.See section 3.3 Settings/Display Items for details on displaying information. For control, the FTP server uses TCP · UDP communication port 21; for data transfers, it uses TCP communication port 20.
The FTP server is set to valid in the factory default settings, but you can invalidate it using HTTP (Web), Telnet and FTP. Use HTTP (Web) or Telnet to return it to valid.
The maximum number of sessions that can be connected simultaneously with FTP is 8. However, for details on FTP printing (writing to the /Ip/ directory), the number of sessions that can be printed simultaneously is 1. Also, when simultaneously writing data from a multiple of sessions, and the first received session occupies more than one minute, the writing request of subsequently connected sessions will be rejected.
It is necessary to specify ASCII (Type A) or Binary (Type I) for files as the transfer modes, but the mode differences depend on the client without processing on this product. Data is transferred as is in the Binary mode, but 0Ahex is converted to 0Dhex + 0Ahex for transfer in the ASCII mode. For that reason, to avoid mistakenly specifying this mode, this product should be set to Binary mode to transfer all files.
Supports both Active and Passive modes, so you can send data over a firewall.Transfer throughput is less efficient in Passive mode.
Anonymous log in If you login with a user name or password that is not registered, you can login with general user rights. When logging in as anonymous, the user name and password must be within 31 characters. In this case, the password is omitted.
When accessing an FTP server from a host device, do so using an FTP client software (CUI version, command direct input) of a standard OS.
If there is no access from the FTP client for 15 minutes, the FTP server will forcibly disconnect the connection.
There are multiple accounts that require logging in for operations. The user names and passwords are as follows.
Account User

User Name "user"
"root"
Password

3.1.8.1. FTP Printing
When writing data to the \Ip\ directory, it is transferred to the printer as print data.
3.1.8.2. NIC Setting
Login to the FTP server from an FTP client to view the settings by reading the setting file in the \net_config\ directory. Also, by uploading the setting file to the same directory, you can store the settings in the non-volatile memory. The extensions of filenames uploaded from the FTP client are changed to "$$$" prior to writing to NVRAM, and the files are saved as mid-way files. When updating is successful, the mid-way files are deleted, but if the format of the setting contents is incorrect or the writing to the non-volatile memory is erroneous and the writing fails, the files will remain without being deleted (extension "$$$") Also, if writing ends normally, the printer will automatically be reset. If the "Configuration Print" item is "Enable" the reset will be applied when the settings print is ended.

The loaded NIC MAC information is used for the MAC Address item, but when uploaded, the MAC information field is ignored. Therefore, when you use a loaded setting file to upload to NIC, you do not need to change this field.
When you specify Enable for the Configuration Print item, you can print the settings to verify that they have been loaded to the non-volatile memory.
The factory default setting for 9100 Multi-session is different from the old product. Factory Default Settings IFBD-HE05/06/BE05 (old product): ENABLE IFBD-HE07/08/BE07 (this product): DISABLE
The Web Print setting items are for the Star WebPRNT model only.

3.1.8.3. F/W Update
Log in to this product using FTP to update the NIC firmware (F/W) by uploading the version upgrade binary data to the \firmware\ directory.
When uploading F/W data, the FTP server calculates the CRC value of the F/W data and checks that it has been transferred correctly. If the firmware is not correctly transferred, cancel the upload.
When all data has been confirmed to be correctly received, start writing to the Flash ROM. If writing to the Flash ROM ends normally, the printer will automatically be reset. Writing takes several minutes. Absolutely never turn off the power or apply a reset prior to final reset being applied. If terminated partway, the Flash ROM data will be damanged, and later it may not start up.

3.1.10. TFTP Client
When the printer power is turned on while you hold down the push switch, the TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) client stored in the boot loader is started up. The TFTP client automatically downloads the main program from the TFTP server over the LAN, and writes to the Flash ROM on the NIC board. When writing ends normally, the printer will automatically be reset and will startup normally. The following flowchart shows the series of operations.

*1 It is necessary to startup the TFTP and DHCP/BOOTP servers on the same machine. *2: The NIC main firmware filename downloaded from TFTP must be "NIC_MAIN.bin."Even if the version is different, the firmware must be the same name as when downloading using TFTP. ((Ex.:) You can change "HE7_V100(NIC_Main).bin" to "NIC_MAIN.bin.")
Note: This TFTP client function is used for emergency recovery when the F/W main firmware has been damaged. Use the FTP server function for ordinary F/W updates. (See section 3.1.8 FTP Server.)

3.2 Other Specifications 3.2.1. Operating Time
There are approximately 14 seconds from the time the power is turned on to the startup of the TCP/IP (start of IP address acquisition). It takes approximately 18 seconds before the TCP/IP services (HTTP, TELNET, FTP, LPD, Raw Socket Print) can be used after turning on the power.
Note: When acquiring the IP address by Dynamice (DHCP/BOOTP, RARP), this time may lengthen depending on the server response time.
3.2.2. Push Switch
While the TCP/IP is operating (the power has been turned on, and it is within the elapse time described in section 3.2.1 Startup Time), if the push switch is continued to be held down, the LED display pattern will change according to the times shown below. When the switch is released, the product will enter each special mode.

Note 1. When Phase 3 is exceeded, press the switch for 1 second to return to Phase 1.
Note 2. Execution procedures for the NIC setting initialize mode
1. After entering this mode, press the push switch once and release it. The LED display will be "Green = Extinguished; Red = Extinguished" and the initializing of the NIC settings in the non-volatile memory will begin.
2. If the initialization is successful, the printer will automatically be reset. Do not turn off the power or apply a reset until this reset has been applied. Also, if the NIC setting initialization fails, the LED display will be "Green = Extinguished; Red = Lit" and all operations will stop. If so, turn the power off.
Note: When turning the power on, a different mode (automatic firmware update function using TFTP client) will startup that is different to the above functions, for the operations when turning the power on with the push switch pressed. For details, see section 3.1.8 TFTP Client.

3.2.3. DIP Switches
DIP switches are loaded when the power is turned on or when the printer is reset. Therefore, when you change the settings, enable them by turning the printer on again, or by executing a printer reset.Turn the power off before changing the PCB and interface type.
DIP switch DIPSW1 DIPSW2
Feature Sets IP address acquisition timeout Reserved (Fixed at off)
ON No timeout -
OFF 20 seconds (factory default setting) -
DIPSW1 Sets the timeout time when getting the address from a DHCP/BOOTP server. The factory default setting (when set to off) is 20 seconds. When set to on, there is no timeout. If this product is connected directly to an intelligent switch or intelligent hub, the physical link may take some time to become established. As a result, a timeout will occur while waiting to get the DHCP/BOOTP address, and it will fail
to get the IP address. In such cases, set DIPSW1 = ON to have no IP address acquisition timeout. DIPSW2
Presently unused. A feature will be added in the future. This should always be off.
3.2.4. LED
There is a red and a green LED equipped on the network interface connector (LAN connector RJ45). These function as outlined below under normal operating conditions.
Red (LINK/Activity): Green (100M):
A link has been established between the port and the connected device. Communications are ready at both devices. Lights when the port is operating at 100 Mbps.
For others, the flashing pattern changes according to the pressing of the push switch. For details, see sections 3.1.10 TFTP Client and 3.2.2 Push Switch.

3.2.6. Broken Link Detection
TCP/IP communications on this product informs the operator when printing is not possible. Therefore, it supports the broken link
detection feature.
There are two broken links that can be detected. 1 Physical link down Indicates either of the following states. · Time from powering on the printer until the Ethernet link is established (TCP/IP startup) · Error status because Ethernet link detected to be down because the LAN cable was disconnected between the printer and HUB. Chattering removal conditions when connecting and disconnecting the LAN cable are shown below. · When LAN cable is disconnected (link down judgment): 4 seconds · When LAN cable is inserted (link established judgment): 2 seconds 2 IP address lost Indicates either of the following states. · Time from TCP/IP startup until IP address is obtained. · Error status when failed to get IP address.
When a broken link is detected, the following operations are requested to the printer. IP address lost takes priority over physical link down. Also, actual operations for LED display and printing warnings must be supported by the printer. (For details, see section 6.2 Printer Firmware Support Table and each printer's product specifications manual.) When this happens, check the LAN cable connection and the IP address settings for the communication path, and then restart the printer.
· LED Display LED blinking on the printer operation panel inform the operator of the physical link down and IP address lost. However, the LED type and blinking cycles depend on the printer's specifications.
Example display on TSP700II/TSP800II (1) Physical link down POWER LED (green) and ERROR LED (orange) blink slowly (on=2 seconds, off = 2 seconds). (2) IP address lost POWER LED (green) and ERROR LED (orange) blink quickly (on=0.125 seconds, off = 0.125 seconds).
Network communications are ready when both (1) and (2) are removed (blinking stops). You cannot invalidate this operation.
· Warning print When physical link down or IP address lost (error when it fails to get the IP address) is detected, this sends warning print data to the printer to inform the operator that a problem has occurred. Reception data before and after this operation executes is not guaranteed.
This feature can be made valid or invalid using HTTP (Web), Telnet, and FTP. Use HTTP (Web) to register the warning print data. The setting is stored on the product's non-volatile memory.

5. SSL/TLS COMMUNICATIONS 5.1. General Description
This NIC can encrypt communication (HTTPS) using SSL (Socket Security Layer)/TLS (Transport Layer Security).
5.2. Specifications
<Communication specifications> SSL/TLS version: TLS1.2 (SSL3.3) Application protocol: HTTPS (Server Authentication) TCP communication pot number: Optional (factory default setting: 443) Certificate: Self-signed certificate or CA-signed certificate Encryption algorithm: AES 128/256, RC4 Hash algorithm: SHA-256, SHA-1, MD5 Factory default setting is SSL/TLS=Disable. You need to enable them in the Web settings. Regarding the certificate required to authenticate with the client's device, register either a self-signed certificate or a CA-signed certificate. You can check the basic settings (SSL/TTL Enable/Disable, the TCP communication port number, certificate selection, and whether it is necessary or unnecessary to register a certificate) by self-print. To use this function, F/W Ver.4.0.0 and later must be installed on this NIC, and it must be a model with "S" shape engraved on the chassis of the NIC at the time of shipment from the factory. For the position of the engraved "S" shape, see "2.1 Model Names" in "2. HARDWARE SPECIFICATIONS". The "S" shape indicates that the product has been shipped with a private key required for using SSL communication.

Default value (Blank) (Blank) (Blank) (Blank) (Blank) (Blank) (Blank)
· To register a certificate in the web browser, click [Create Self-Signed Certificate] and then click [Download]. · You can delete a certificate file by clicking [Delete]after clicking [Create Self-Signed Certificate]. To delete a self-signed
certificate, you need to disable SSL/TLS beforehand. · Enter the expiration date of the certificate in the "Expiration Date" field. You can specify an expiration date up to "2064.12.31".
However, the web browser will misinterpret the expiration date as 1950 or later, and cause an error when specifying a date from 2050 or later. Consequently the maximum date is fixed at "2049.12.31". The valid period start date is fixed at "2015.01.01" with F/W Ver.4.0.0. With F/W Ver.4.1.0 or later and Ver. 5.0.0 or later, the start date is the date of creation. In addition, the minimum date for the expiration date is fixed at "2015.01.01". · Once the certificate has been registered, it cannot be deleted by initializing NIC. To delete the certificate, click [Create SelfSigned Certificate] and then click [Delete] on the SSL/TLS settings screen. · The minimum required items for creating a certificate are the "Domain" and "Expiration Date", but we recommend you input information for all items. · With F/W Ver. 4.1.0 and Ver. 5.0.0 or later, the Subject Alt Name (SAN) item is generated based on the value input for Domain (IP Address).
An example procedure for creating and signing a self-signed certificate is described in "7.1 Example procedures for registration of SSL certificate" in appendix 2.
5.2.2. CA-signed Certificates
You can import a server certificate created externally and signed by CA (Certification Authority) and a private key to the printer NIC.
<Server certificate specification> · Encoding type: Base64 (filename extension = PEM) · Types of the certification file: PKCS #1 · Key length (F/W Ver.4.X.X or earlier): RSA 1024bit · Key length (F/W Ver.5.0.0 and later): RSA 2048bit or 1024bit
(Cannot upgrade to F/W Ver.5.0.0 or later.) (I/F card bearing "M" mark on PCB chassis.)
· The CA above is required to register as a "Trusted Root Certification Authorities" in the web browser. · You can delete the certificate registered to the NIC by clicking [Delete] after selecting [Import CA-Signed Certificate]. However,
the [Delete] button is disabled unless a CA-signed certificate and a CA-signed private key are registered. · Once the certificate has been registered, it cannot be deleted by initializing the NIC. To delete the certificate, click [Import CA-
Signed Certificate] and then click [Delete] on the SSL/TLS settings screen.
An example procedure for importing a CA-signed certificate to NIC is indicated in "7.1 Example procedures for registration of SSL certificate" in appendix 2.

5.2.3. Operation Tested Environment
5.2.3.1. About the Operation Tested Environment
Depending on the device, operating system, type and version of your web browser, the operation of SSL/TLS communication (HTTPS) may differ. For a list of validated compatibility results tested by Star Micronics Co., Ltd., see "4.2 Specification" in 4. Star webPRNT FUNCTION (IFBD-HE07X/08X/BE07X). If you operate the device using an operating environment not recorded in this table, this function may not work normally and a failure may occur such as an error appearing in the web browser.
5.2.3.2. HTTP/HTTPS Mixed Environments
Security communication (HTTPS) and no security communication (HTTP) cannot be mixed in the Star webPRNT application due to security specifications of the client's web browser.
For this reason, match the security level between the web server's URL for storing web contents and the printer's URL when you use Star webPRNT as shown below. For example, if the printer's IP address begins with "https://", the web server's IP address also must begin with "https://". Operating environments that mix security levels are referred to as "Cross Scheme" or "Mix Content".
