News on 2 December 2003
- Is available for both ASCII and IPDS
- Eliminates the need for external Ethernet adapters
- Uses the same internal adapter card slot as other 4247 adapters
- Improves serviceability of the Ethernet attachment as compared to the present externally attached adapters

Ethernet 10/100 BaseT Network Interface Card (NIC) now available for IBM 4247 Models 003 and V03
The IBM 4247 Model V03 is a professional industrial impact matrix printer capable of printing at speeds of up to 1100 characters per second (cps) in fast draft mode.
The IBM 4247 Model 003 is a heavy-duty industrial impact matrix printer capable of printing at speeds of up to 700 cps in fast draft mode.
An integrated Ethernet 10/100 BaseT NIC is now available for both models. By choosing the appropriate feature number, you can select ASCII or IPDS.
Key features
- These adapters:
- Provide a fully integrated 10/100 BaseT Ethernet solution
- Are easier to configure than previous 4247 Ethernet offerings
- The IPDS adapter replaces the Ethernet I-Data RPQ (RPQ #8B4314), and can be used for either IPDS or ASCII.
- With either adapter, the 4247 parallel port is available. (The present ASCII Ethernet adapter utilizes the parallel port so that it is not available.)
- Hot interface and hot port switching:
- ASCII Parallel and ASCII LAN hot interface switching is supported.
- ASCII LAN TCP, LPR, Telnet, and FTP hot port switching is supported.
- Hot port switching between the IPDS LAN port and ASCII LAN ports is not supported. Manual switching between IPDS and ASCII is required to switch between these ports

The IBM 4247 Ethernet 10/100 BaseT adapters provide a fully integrated
Ethernet solution for the IBM 4247.
- Ethernet II, SNAP, 802.2, 802.3 and following
- TCP/IP (UDP, ARP, RARP, ICMP, PING, BOOTP, DHCP, FTP, PSF/AFP IPDS)
- SMB/NetBIOS
- SMTP
- LPR/LPD
- Direct Socket Printing
- HTTP
The following table shows the allowable replacements and additions of attachment cards for installed IBM 4247-V03 and 4247-003 Printers, and the feature to order to replace or add an adapter. All of these replacements and additions are easily installed by customers, and do not require IBM Field Engineering for installation.

- May require new 4247 Licensed Internal Code provided with these features. The latest code may also be downloaded from the vendor Web site (CPG International).
The maximum number of initial-order attachment features that can be
ordered is one. Use the MES feature numbers for bulk orders.
Ethernet 10/100 BaseT NIC (ASCII) MES (#4272)
These features provide an integrated Ethernet 10/100 BaseT NIC with ASCII capability.
- Maximum per 4247-V03 or 4247-003 Printer: One
- Maximum order quantity: Ten
- Minimum: None
- Corequisites: None
- Prerequisites: 4247 Model 003 or V03
- Field upgrade: Yes, as #4272 customer installed
- Customer setup: Yes for both features (4270 and 4272)
- Limitations: Printer must have Base Code Level 2.00 or later for the 4247-V03, or Level 7.00 or later for the 4247-003. The required code is provided on the CD-ROM shipped with this feature. The latest code level can also be downloaded from the vendor Web site (CPG International).
- Any I-Data RPQ (RPQ #8B4314 or 8B4313)
- The LAN Attachment feature (#4260 or 4262)
Ethernet 10/100 BaseT NIC (IPDS) MES (#4282)
These features provide an integrated Ethernet 10/100 BaseT NIC with both IPDS and ASCII capability. This feature does not support hot port switching between the IPDS port and ASCII LAN ports.
- Maximum per 4247-V03 or 4247-003 Printer: One
- Maximum order quantity: Ten
- Minimum: None
- Corequisites: None
- Prerequisites: 4247 Model 003 or V03
- Field upgrade: Yes, as #4282 customer installed
- Customer setup: Yes for both features (4280 and 4282)
- Limitations: Printer must have Base Code Level 2.00 or later for the 4247-V03, or Level 7.00 or later for the 4247-003. The required code is provided on the CD-ROM shipped with this feature. The latest code level can also be downloaded from the vendor Web site (CPG International).
- Any I-Data RPQ (RPQ #8B4314 or 8B4313)
- The LAN Attachment feature (#4260 or 4262)
Other LAN attachment capability is available via:
- The Network Print Server features (#4121, #4124, #4164, #4165) provide network attachment via the parallel port for Token-Ring and Ethernet. The Network Print Servers plug into the printer parallel port. For Ethernet, the new Ethernet NIC features are installed in the 4247 expansion slot and the parallel port is still available. The Network Print Server and the above RPQs provide the capability for both LAN support and twinax, coax, or serial support on the same IBM 4247 Printer.
- The I-Data 7913 (RPQ numbers 8B4313 and 8B4314) provides either Token-Ring or Ethernet LAN attachment for IPDS data for twinax and coax printers.
RPQ #8B4313 provides Token-Ring IPDS support. This RPQ is still
required for IPDS Token-Ring. RPQ #8B4314 provides Ethernet IPDS support,
and normally the Ethernet IPDS NIC, rather than this RPQ, will now be the
preferred solution.
Neither of these RPQs can be installed when the Ethernet NIC features are installed.
While a Network Print Server and one of the Ethernet 10/100 NICs can
be installed on the same 4247, only one of either the Network Print Server
or the Ethernet 10/100 BaseT NIC attachments can be active at any time.
Manual switching between the ASCII (Network Print Server) and the IPDS
Ethernet 10/100 BaseT NIC is required to switch between the attachments.
