This section lists all the FollowMe external and internal devices on the network. If the FollowMe device has just been installed it will display the factory default IP address of '11.22.33.44' (or if an E-Line controller it may also display as the output devices IP Address that it is connected to) and will have a Printer Name NP_XXXXXX.
Note: If installing more than one FollowMe Printing device it is advised that each is configured immediately after installation before the next device is installed onto the network. There will be difficulties in identifying which device is which if more than one non-configured device is on the network sharing the same factory default IP address.
Locating Devices on Different Networks/Subnets
If the FollowMe device is on a different network/subnet to the server after the device has been configured then it will not be instantly identified by the application.
| 1. | Click on the Network Restrictions button. |
| 2. | Click on the Add button and use the TCP/IP subnet address or the IP Address of the device (xxx.xxx.xxx.255 will find all devices on the network without having to enter a specific IP address) and click OK. The address will appear on the list in the Network Restrictions dialog box. |
| 3. | Ensure that the address is selected (highlighted) before clicking OK. |
| 4. | Click the Requery Network button to list the device in the Devices window. |
To Configure A Device
| 1. | Highlight the device and click the 'Edit' button. |
| 2. | Select a name for the device that will make it easily identifiable. |
