The answer from the WINS server contains the period of validity of the name entry in the WINS database. Once this period has expired, the print server renews its registration with the WINS server so that its IP address and host name remain constantly valid.
During the installation of the print server, its host name is displayed on the monitor of the computer intended for printing. In order for you to be able to assign the host name to the IP address, the computer asks the DNS server for the IP address of the print server. If the DNS server cannot answer this request, it forwards the request to the WINS server. Once the computer receives the answer, it sends the print data to the IP address of the print server. You can also enter the IP address instead of the host name during the print server installation. In this case, you can send print data directly to the IP address. The configuration of a print server on a DHCP server depends on the operating system.

WINS Without DHCP

You can set up the print server in a network only with WINS and without DHCP. In this case, the print server registers with the WINS server directly. In this process, you must configure the IP address of the WINS server manually in the print server. To use WINS without DHCP, the following requirements are necessary: The 'DHCP' parameter has been disabled; see: TCP/IP The parameter 'WINS registration' has been disabled; see 209. The parameter 'WINS via DHCP' has been disabled; see 209. 206.
The print server can have an IPv4 address and several IPv6 addresses at the same time. The IPv6 standard is used to automatically assign IP addresses in IPv6 networks. When connected to an IPv6 network, the print server will automatically obtain an additional link-local IPv6 address.
The IPv6 standard uses the following mechanism to assign IP addresses automatically. When the print server is started in an IPv6 network, the print server will be addressed via an automatically generated address from the link-local address range (FE8 ). A procedure that uses the MAC address is used to automatically generate IP addresses. The print server uses the link-local IP address to search for a router. The print server sends so-called 'Router Solicitations' (RS) to the special multicast address FF02::2. The available router will then return a Router Advertisement (RA) containing the required information. With a prefix from the range of the global unicast addresses, the print server can compose its own address. It simply replaces the first 64 bits (prefix FE80::) with the prefix that was sent in the RA.

The 'IPv6' parameter has been activated. The 'Automatic configuration' parameter has been activated. In order to configure the automatic assignment of IPv6 addresses; see: 240. In order to configure an IPv6 address manually; see: 239.
. via the IP Wizard (InterCon-NetTool)
The IP Wizard of the InterCon-NetTool helps you to configure the TCP/IP parameters, e.g. the IP address. You can easily enter the desired IP address and save it in the print server using the IP Wizard.
The InterCon-NetTool is installed on the client; see:
The network scan via Multicast has been enabled in the InterCon-NetTool; see: 36. The router in the network forwards multicast requests; see: 36. Proceed as follows: 1. Start the InterCon-NetTool. 2. Select the print server from the print server list.
The print server is displayed in the print server list under 'ZeroConf' with an IP address from the address range (169.254.0.0/16) which is reserved for ZeroConf.
3. Select Installation IP Wizard from the menu bar. The IP Wizard is started. 4. Follow the instructions of the Wizard. The settings are saved.

ARP Table

. via ARP/PING
The assignment of the IP address to the hardware address can be done via the ARP table. The ARP table is an internal system file in which the assignment is temporarily saved (about 15 min). This table is administered by the ARP protocol. By means of the 'arp' and 'ping' commands, you can save the IP address in the print server. If the print server already has an IP address, the 'arp' and 'ping' commands cannot be used to save a new IP address. However, an IP address from the address range (169.254.0.0/16) which is reserved for ZeroConf can be overwritten by means of the 'arp' and 'ping' commands. Use the 'arp' and 'ping' commands to save the IP address if your network has no superordinate management of IP addresses (e.g. DHCP, BOOTP). The 'arp' command is used for editing the ARP table. The 'ping' command transfers a data packet containing the IP address to the hardware address of the print server. If the data packet has been successfully sent and received, the print server permanently saves the IP address. The implementation of the 'arp' and 'ping' command depends on the system used. Read the documentation for your operating system.
The 'ARP/PING' parameter has been enabled; see: TCP/IP 206. Edit the ARP table: Syntax: arp -s <IP address><hardware address> Example: arp -s 192.168.0.123 00-c0-eb-00-01-ff Assign a new IP address to the print server: Syntax: ping <IP address> Example: ping 192.168.0.123
The separators within the hardware address that are used in this example correspond to the Windows platform.

Troubleshooting

The 'Addition failed' error occurs when you use the 'arp' command. This error informs you that the ARP table is empty and that the new entry cannot be added. This problem occurs with certain operating systems such as all Microsoft Windows versions with the exception of NT 4.0. The solution to the problem is to ping a station in the network before using the 'arp' command for the first time or use the InterCon-NetTool to enter the IP address.

Print Server Installation
4 Print Server Installation
Depending on the selected printing method, the print server can be integrated into various systems and networks. This chapter presents various printing methods and describes several installation procedures. You will also be given more information about additional installation procedures. Depending on your printing requirements and your network environment, there are various installation methods. SEH Computertechnik GmbH describes a variety of installation methods and makes them available in this document and the system-specific installation instructions.

What is the SEH Print Monitor?
The SEH Print Monitor constitutes the connecting piece between the computer and the print server. It ensures the transfer of print data from the client to the print server by means of direct TCP/IP ports. The SEH Print Monitor can be installed on every client intended for printing. It is not possible to share the printer. Using the SEH Print Monitor you can adapt printing to your individual needs. You can define whether printing is done via a TCP/IP port or a HTTP port. The following features can be realized when printing via HTTP ports: Encryption of print data Identity check of the users and devices before they gain access to the print server (authentication) Using a proxy server, print jobs can be sent to a print server via the Internet Detailed and print server specific error messages
Which Ports Are Available?
In order to configure a printer port at the client, follow the instructions: Installing the SEH Print Monitor 59 Starting the SEH Print Monitor (no Print Object available) 59 Starting the SEH Print Monitor (Print Object available) Adding or Editing Printer Ports 62 61

Refer to your printer documentation for information on how to set the language at the operating panel.
Print Server with KUIO Interface
The following applies to print servers that are connected to a printer via a KUIO interface: After each printer restart, the print server gets the selected language of the printer. If the print server language is changed during operation, only the appearance of the Print Server Homepage will be affected. In order to do this, you must refresh the homepage.
How to Adapt the Network Speed
Three modes of transmission between two equal nodes provide for network communication: simplex, half duplex, and duplex.

Duplex Mode

The print server is able to recognize the duplex mode used in a ether network and to adapt to it automatically. This happens via autonegotiation (also: autosensing). The print server recognizes the network speed and the duplex mode of the network port to which it is attached and configures its own parameters accordingly. This 'Auto' mode is preset. In addition, users can also configure the duplex mode manually. If you set the speed manually, the speed must correspond to the speed of the other network components. It is not possible to operate the print server with full duplex if the hub functions with half duplex, for example.

Local (IPv6)

15.4 NetBIOS/WINS
'NetBIOS' (Network Basic Input Output System) allows you to address a client in Microsoft Windows networks not only via a unique TCP/IP address but also via a unique NetBIOS name.
'WINS' (Windows Internet Naming Service) is a system for the dynamic resolution of NetBIOS names. WINS works similar to DNS and is also dynamic. If a new host enters the network, its name will automatically be registered with the WINS server. The client registers the NetBIOS name of the computer as well as the domain name and the name of the registered users and user groups. To use this service, you must configure a couple of Microsoft Windows parameters such as the NetBIOS name, the NetBIOS domain, and the WINS server. Proceed as follows: Start the Print Server Homepage or start the InterCon-NetTool and double-click the print server in the print server list. Select Configuration Microsoft Windows. Configure the parameters; see: Table 18 209. Click Save or OK to confirm. The settings are saved.

What is UTN?

The UTN functionality allows you to access non-network-ready USB output devices (e.g. printers, MFPs, etc.) in the network. The USB devices will be connected to the USB port of the print server. The software tool SEH UTN Manager regulates the access of the USB devices. The SEH UTN Manager has been designed for use in Windows (XP or later). The software is installed on all clients that are meant to access a USB device in the network. The SEH UTN Manager shows the availability of all USB devices that exist in the network and establishes a connection between the client and the USB device.

Installing and Operating the SEH UTN Manager The software tool SEH UTN Manager regulates the access of the USB devices. The software is installed on all clients that are meant to access a USB device in the network.
After the SEH UTN Manager is started, the network will be scanned for connected UTN servers (print servers). The network range to be scanned is freely definable. All UTN servers (print servers) found will be shown in the network list together with the connected devices. The preferred devices will be selected and added to the selection list. The devices in the selection list can be connected to the client. A device that was made available by the UTN server (print server) can only be used by one network participant at a time. If a user connects to the device, other users have to wait until the connection will be closed.
In order to use the SEH UTN Manager, the program must be installed on a computer with Windows (XP or later) operating system. You will find the installation file sehutnmanager-xyz.exe on the Product CD or on the Internet at www.seh.de. Start the installation file and follow the installation routine.

PRESS RELEASE

Network Printing Now Even More Secure SEH print servers with IPSec support Brighton, England (March 3, 2011). Print servers by SEH now offer even more security when it comes to processing print jobs. SEH, a leading network solution vendor, announces support for the IPSec security protocol in their PS-series product line. "IPSec extends the standard security package of SEH print servers by adding valuable encryption and authentication mechanisms. This allows for transport of IP packets in a cryptographically safe way via open networks", Reinhold Clausjuergens, SEH Marketing Director, explains. IPSec ensures the safe authentication of the data source, and maintains data integrity while communicating via IP networks. This allows for the protection of sensitive data. Moreover, IPSec not only increases data integrity and authenticity but also brings confidentiality into the communication process. "As an additional feature, IPSec fits perfectly within the best-in-class security repertoire of our print servers", Reinhold Clausjuergens underlines. SEH PS-series print servers are already recognised for their simple installation, administration, and built-in ThinPrint client. SEH still offers free updates and a guarantee of up to five years for the PS-series. IPSec is now available as a free firmware upgrade at: http://www.seh-technology.com/services/downloads/print-server-downloads/firmware.html IPSec configuration is done via the embedded web interface that can be used with most web browsers.
