Networking Requirements
When connecting the Eicon 1550/1551 directly to a computer, the following is required:
• A 10Base-T Ethernet network interface card, properly installed and configured to use
the TCP/IP protocol. A 100 Mbps Ethernet card can be used if the card supports
auto-sensing.
• TCP/IP communications protocol configured to obtain its IP address automatically
(DHCP client), and not configured to use a DNS server.
If you are unsure about these topics, consult the documentation for your operating
system or network adapter for more information.
Web Browser Requirements
The Eicon 1550/1551 is configured via web pages stored on the device itself. To
access the web interface, you must have Netscape Navigator 4 or Microsoft Internet
Explorer 4, or later versions.
Additionally, your Web browser must be configured to connect to the Internet via a
local area network (LAN) and not through a proxy server.
An installer for Microsoft Internet Explorer is included on the Eicon 1550/551 CD-ROM
for all Windows operating systems except Windows 3.1. Windows NT 4.0 requires SP3
or later, available from http://www.microsoft.com/.
