Need help connecting my Mutoh to PC

Hi there. I recently purchased used Mutoh Falcon Outdoor 48. I got it up and running and I'm having issues with connecting it to my PC.
The printer came with the old version of Onyx that did not work on my Windows 7 machine and I upgraded it to the newest version of Onyx RIP center.
I installed it, loaded the printer and now I'm having issues with trying to find the IP address of the printer.
Previous owner had it connect with a parallel cable and I do not have a parallel port on my PC. I'm trying to connect it with the cable that also came with the printer that has this gadget. It is LAN to Parallel "switch" or something like that.

Does anyone have experience with it? Can someone let me know how to find our the IP address of the printer.

Also, on the close-up pic of the device, you can see that there is a slot for the network card. Can someone tell me if it would be better to install the network card in it and which card I would need to buy.

Thank you in advance.

Thanks John.
I have found the SEH manual but this SignWarehouse write up helps a lot.
I realized that I never installed the SEH software. I'll do that as soon as I get back to my home office.

That should do it, I hope.

Anyone else to chime in with the network card suggestion? I heard that might work better, to have faster connection.

Thanks :signs101:
