The MonarchNet for TCP/IP utility monitors, configures, and manages
Monarch TCP/IP print servers. This chapter contains information on how to
configure the print server in TCP/IP environments using the MonarchNet for
TCP/IP utility.
System Requirements
MonarchNet for TCP/IP is a Microsoft Windows based program, which is
compatible with Windows 3.x, Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT
MonarchNet for TCP/IP requires that the TCP/IP protocol is running using a
Winsock (Windows Sockets) TCP/IP stack, version 1.1 or greater. A
Winsock TCP/IP protocol stack is available from many vendors including the
following:
♦ Microsoft Windows
♦ FTP Software
♦ Trumpet
♦ NetManage
♦ Distinct
.
Installing a New Print Server
A new print server can be installed using the standard IP address
initialization process or by using the MonarchNet for TCP/IP utility.
MonarchNet for TCP/IP 1-1
Before You Start
You should be familiar with network administration as well as the physical
setup an operation of your network. Record the serial number and Ethernet
or Token-Ring address of your print server.
Install the MonarchNet for TCP/IP utility:
1. Insert the MonarchNet Utilities CD into your CD-ROM drive.
2. If the CD does not automatically start, run the file,
setup.exe from the
Start, Run menu. You will see
3. From the Welcome to Monarch screen, select the TCP/IP Management
Utilities and click

Done to exit.
<Back to install
Installing a new print server using MonarchNet for TCP/IP requires three
steps:
1. Connect the print server to the network.
Connect the network cable to the print server. Make sure the print server
is on the same local network as the workstation that is running this
utility.
2. Select the print server from the list.
Run MonarchNet for TCP/IP by selecting MonarchNet for TCP/IP from
the Monarch Printing group. Select the print server from the list. By
default, the All Print Servers view is selected and all print servers
attached to the subnet of the network from which the MonarchNet utility
is running are listed.
If the print server is not in the list, select the Unconfigured Print
Servers view. If MonarchNet for TCP/IP was already running before
the print server was installed, select the Refresh option from the
View menu.
MonarchNet for TCP/IP 1-3
3. Configure the print server.
Select the Configuration option from the Print Server menu. You will be
prompted to enter the IP address for this print server. Once this is done,
the full configuration will be displayed. Choose the applicable file folder
tab and make any modifications to configure the print server for your
environment. Select OK when done.
The print server should be ready to accept print jobs!
Configuring a Print Server
The print server must be given an IP address before it can be configured. If
the print server does not have an IP address, you will be prompted to enter
one.
Once a print server has an IP address, it can be configured to change any
settings necessary. Settings are grouped into the following categories:
♦ TCP/IP
♦ NetWare
♦ NetWare Queues
♦ NetWare Port
♦ Output Port
♦ SNMP
♦ Protocols
♦ SNMP Traps
♦ Token-Ring
These settings can be accessed by selecting the Configuration option from
the Print Server menu or by selecting the Telnet option from the Tools menu.
Follow the menus to change any settings necessary.
If the print server does not support the SNMP private
MIB, a simple Telnet configuration utility will be started
when Configure is selected.

Configuring TCP/IP Options
The following options are used to configure the print server's TCP/IP-specific
settings for your environment.
OK and Cancel affect the entire dialog box, not just the
TCP/IP tab options. Do not choose OK until you've
entered all changes on this tab and other tabs. If you
choose Cancel, you lose all changes in every tab of this
dialog box.

it is powered on.
Enter the print server's IP address. The IP address must
follow the format XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, where each XXX is a
number between 0 and 254.
CAUTION: If you select an invalid IP address, you may not
be able to access the print server.
Select this option to use RARP

protocol(s) to use.
If your network environment includes subnets, you will want
to set the subnet mask.
The subnet mask must follow the format
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, where each XXX is a number between
0 and 255. The default subnet mask is 0.0.0.0. The print
server interprets a subnet mask of 0.0.0.0 or
255.255.255.255 as no subnet mask specified.
CAUTION: If you select an invalid subnet mask, you may
not be able to access the print server.

Selecting PSERVER or RPRINTER/NPRINTER Mode
You can configure the print server to operate in PSERVER or
RPRINTER/NPRINTER mode. In PSERVER mode, the Monarch print server
operates as the NetWare print server. It services specified queues on
specified file servers. In PSERVER mode the Monarch print server can
simultaneously access up to eight different file servers and 32 print queues.
In RPRINTER/NPRINTER mode, the Monarch print server acts as a printer
connection for the NetWare Print Server NLM (EXE or VAP). The NetWare
Print Server NLM (or VAP) runs on the file server. The NetWare Print Server
EXE runs on a dedicated PC. In RPRINTER/NPRINTER mode, the Monarch
print server can only service one file server.

contain a language setting to allow a
configuration label to be printed as
needed for diagnostic/troubleshooting
purposes.
Bidirectional Printer Status Support enables the
Monarch print server to get printer status
information. The printer attached to the output port
must support bidirectional communication and PJL.
Disable this option if the printer attached does not
support bidirectional communication or PJL.

Configuring Token-Ring Options
The token-ring configuration options described below are only available on
token-ring products.
OK and Cancel affect the entire dialog box, not just the
Token-Ring tab options. Do not choose OK until you've
entered all changes on this tab and other tabs. If you
choose Cancel, you lose all changes in every tab of this
dialog box.
Priority Priority allows selection of a priority level ranging from a low
of 0 to a high of 6. When a data packet is placed on the
Token-Ring network, it uses the assigned priority. The
priority of the packets sent by the Monarch device can be
increased to improve printing performance. However, the
performance of file servers and crucial stations could be
affected.
Packet Size Packet Size allows selection of a number indicating the size
of each block of data sent from the Monarch device to the
printer. Sending data in larger blocks usually results in
improved printing performance. If you increase the packet
size and do not observe improved performance, the server,
bridge, or router through which the packets must travel may
not be accepting the size that you have selected.
Early Token
Release
Routing Routing allows selection of how packets are routed. The

Early Token Release enhances ring performance by
releasing the token before receiving the complete frame.
Early Token Release is enabled by default if your ring is
running at 16 Mbps. If your ring is running at 4 Mbps, this
setting is ignored. It is acceptable to enable Early Token
Release on some stations while disabling it on others.
