Installing System Software over the Network Port
Preparation
The system software DVD contains the system software and E-24B System Software Installer. To install
system software using the LAN port on the E-24B, you need:
Either:
Two Ethernet cables and an isolated hub/switch
Cables must be 4-pair/8-wire, short-length Cat 5 (for 100BaseT) or Cat 5e (for 1000BaseT)
Or:
•
For 100BaseTX: One Category 5 or higher Ethernet cross-over cable (4-pin/8-wire, short-length)
• For 1000BaseT: One Category 5e or higher Ethernet cross-over cable (4-pin/8-wire, short-length)
A Windows Vista/7/8/10 computer ("PC") with:
• CD/DVD drive, built in or attached
• Support for 100BaseTX or 1000BaseT
• This procedure describes using one cross-over cable. Instead of using a cross-over cable, you may
use two Ethernet cables and an isolated hub/switch. (Do not connect any other devices to the hub/
switch. Do not put the hub/switch on the LAN. Do not use the hub’s optical port or uplink switch.)
•
If the print engine is 230V, use shielded network cables.
Installation Procedure
1. Print the Configuration Page [Link to page 65 "Printing the Configuration Page or Test
Sheets"].
2. If possible, back up the system settings with the Backup/Restore feature [Link to
page 132 "Backing Up/Restoring the System Configuration and Selected Settings Only"].
3. Perform the shut down procedure from the copier operation panel [Link to page 60
"Shutting Down the E-24B Only"].
4. When the E-24B power is down (that is when the diagnostic LEDs are off), turn the main
power switch of the E-24B to OFF.
5. Disconnect all cables from the E-24B connector panel.
6. Connect the Ethernet cross-over cable to the LAN port and to the Windows Vista/7/8/10
PC.
7. Turn ON the PC and do the following procedure:
•
Close all software applications.
