Encryption Key This dialog controls the location and name of the Encryption Key ZBI-Developer will use when the user chooses to use the optional ZBI program Encryption feature. Note · It is recommended that one key be used for entire company or development group. While it is possible to create multiple keys (i. e. , one for each project, or one for every developer in a given company, this is not recommended to decrease the possibility of lost keys. Saved Searches In some cases, the desired printer may not be automatically discovered. This can happen because the printer is on a different subnet, or because traffic on the network is being controlled in such a way that the discovery process is not allowed to complete. ZBI-Developer offers five types of network searches: · Local Broadcast Search · Subnet Search · Directed Broadcast Search · Multicast Search · IP Address Search Note · The connection to a networked printer can be tested by right-clicking over the printer in the Printers View and choosing Print Configuration label. If the connection is active, a configuration label should print. 5/14/09 ZBI-Developer User Guide 48789L-002 50 ZBI-Developer Configuration of ZBI-Developer To set up a search for a network printer, do the following: 1. Click on New Search. Local Broadcast Search Local broadcasts send a discovery request to the local broadcast address of 255. 255. 255. 255. This request finds printers in the same local network as the requesting computer. The local broadcast search is the default search type used by the program. To create a local broadcast search, do the following: 1. Type a name in the Search Group Name textbox. 48789L-002 ZBI-Developer User Guide 5/14/09 ZBI-Developer Configuration of ZBI-Developer 51 3. Click OK to exit the Preferences dialog. Subnet Search The Subnet Search sends a discovery request to each address in the specified subnet. This feature is useful for networks that prevent broadcast packets from passing across routers. The Subnet search requires you to type in the first three subnet octets. Example · A request to 192. 168. 2. * sends a request to: 192. 168. 2. 1 through 192. 168. 2. 254. To create a Subnet Search, do the following: 1. Click OK to exit the Preferences dialog. Directed Broadcast Search Directed broadcasts send a discovery request to the broadcast address of the specified subnet. Note · If a broadcast search does not work, the broadcast packets might be disabled across routers. Try Multicast or Subnet search. Example · The directed broadcast search requires you to type in the first three subnet octets, followed by 255, such as 192. 168. 2. 255. The fourth octet of the Value field is automatically populated. 2. Click OK to exit the Preferences dialog. 5/14/09 ZBI-Developer User Guide 48789L-002 52 ZBI-Developer Configuration of ZBI-Developer Multicast Search Multicast uses the multicast address to send a discovery address to all Zebra printers across as many routers as the hop count specifies. A multicast search may return a large number of printers in some installations. See your network administrator to determine if a search failure was due to this feature being disabled. To create a multicast search, do the following: 1. [. . . ] Encryption keys can be shared between users in one of two ways: · The key file can be copied from one machine to another. This approach is recommended when program development and encryption will be done from remote locations. · The key file can be stored on a networked drive, made available to any of the programmers to use. 5/14/09 ZBI-Developer User Guide 48789L-002 88 ZBI-Developer Encryption of ZBI Programs Encrypt a ZBI Program To encrypt a ZBI program, right-click over the program and choose Encrypt ZBI Program. The program will display a Warning dialog as shown below: Next, the program will offer the choice to use the Default Encryption Key or to Generate a New Key. Note · It is recommended that the Default Encryption Key be used rather than creating additional keys. [. . . ]
