Assigning an IP address to the Intercon SEH Print Server
Step by Step tutorial

Here are some things to check before you go any further.

  1. Make sure the printer is plugged in and powered ON.
  2. Make sure the SEH box is connected to a power supply and the Category 5 Crossover Cable is connected to the Print Server and to the Ethernet Card on your computer.
  3. Verify that the SEH Print Server has 2 solid green lights. If you have only one solid green light, then you have the wrong network cable. RJ-45 or RJ-7 network cables will not work with the Print Server; it must be a Category 5 Crossover Cable.
  4. If all of the above is correct and appears to be in order then follow these steps to locate the correct IP address using the Printer Wizard Software that is located on the Intercon SEH Disc that comes with the Intercon SEH Printer Server hardware.
