How to Use This Guide
This guide is designed to assist in the installation of your Emulex printer
server. The material contained in the guide is directed toward the network
administrator or the one responsible for a company’s computer network
needs.

You will notice text boxes labeled NOTE or CAUTION.
• Notes provide additional information.
• Caution statements provide warnings to prevent harm to people or
equipment.
CAUTION:: Observe electrostatic discharge (ESD)
procedures during installation.
What is a Command?
A prompt, followed by a keyword and one or more variables, options or
quotation marks make up a command. The following explanation will
demonstrate command formatting.
Prompts
A prompt consists of the word Server followed by one or two greater than
symbols (>). One (>) indicates nonprivileged status and two (>>) signify
privileged or supervisor status. The two prompts are shown below:
Nonprivledged users have read only privileges. Privileged or supervisor users
have all read and write privileges.
Keywords
Server > (nonprivileged users)
Server >> (privileged users)
Keywords are enclosed in brackets and separated by vertical lines. The
user must enter a keyword to perform an action.
Server >>[set|define|change]

NOS & Protocol Support
With the recent release of printer server software version 5.0, we have
expanded the protocols supported by our existing line of Emulex printer
servers. Emulex printer servers can currently be used with these network
operating systems and protocols:

Reference Numbers
It is important that you make a note of the printer server’s unique ethernet
address (known as the Media Access Control or MAC address) and its serial
number. The figure below shows the locations of these numbers.
Printer Server Installation 2-1
Serial Number
BCS1909

MAC Address

Figure 2-1: Location of Reference Numbers
Although the following information is clearly printed on the unit, we suggest
you enter the numbers here for later reference.
MAC Address: 00-00-C9- ____ ____-____ ____-____ ____
Serial Number: ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____
Next, enter the default printer server name. This name begins with a three
digit prefix unique to the type of printer server. The remaining digits are
taken from the last six characters of the MAC address, without the dashes.
For example, the prefix for the NETJet is NJA. Combined with a MAC
address such as 00-00-C9-01-A0-6A, the default server name for this printer
server will be NJA01A06A.
2-2 Chapter 2
The default printer server name is very important and is always used when
installing the printer server for the first time. Once a successful installation
has been accomplished, the default printer server name can be changed.
Default Server Name: NJA _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____
To determine the default printer name, enter the Emulex default printer server
name combined with the Emulex printer server port number. Port numbering
on the NETJet is as follows:
• #1 - Console terminal port
For example, NJA01A06A_1 is the NETJet console terminal port.
Default Printer Name: NJA____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ _ ____
Installation
The printer server may be installed in Hewlett-Packard MIO compliant
printers and plotters. Procedures vary by printer model, but will be similar to
these basic installation instructions.
NOTE: We suggest you use the default printer server name
when installing the printer server for the first time.
CAUTION: Printer power must be OFF or permanent damage
could result to both the printer or plotter and the
printer server.
1) Turn the AC power switch OFF on the printer.
2) Remove the AC power cord from the printer.
3) Remove any cables connected to the printer.
4) Expose the MIO slot.
Remove any interface board or faceplate from the MIO slot.
5) Remove the Emulex printer server from its anti-static bag.
6) Insert the Emulex printer server into the printer MIO slot.
7) Gently press the board into position.
8) Tighten the two captive screws.
The captive screws are located on the face of the Emulex printer server.
Tightening these screws will secure the printer server to the printer.
LAN Connections & Cabling
The printer server may be connected to the network with one of these cables.
• Unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) with an RJ-45 connector
• Thinwire with BNC connector and BNC T-adapter
CAUTION: Do not connect network cables to both the
BNC and the UTP ports on the printer server
at the same time.
Unshielded Twisted-Pair Connection
1) Connect one end of the UPT cable to the printer server UTP port.
Printer Server Installation 2-3
See Appendix for UTP pinout details.
2) Connect the other end of the UTP cable to the network.
3) Do not connect anything to the printer server BNC port.

Serial Port
Connect to the serial port with a null modem cable. The serial port provides
an RJ-12 connector and allows user to:
• Print to a serial printer or plotter.
• Monitor the printer server by connecting an ANSII compatible terminal or
• Input print jobs directly by connecting to a host system serial port (e.g. an

parity, 1 stop bit, DTE type, with softcopy emulation.
HP 3000).
NOTE: Serial cable between the printer server and the
peripheral device or console terminal should not
exceed 50 feet (15.24 meters). Connection can be
made through a null modem cable.
2-6 Chapter 2
Power Up
1) Verify Emulex printer server is securely seated in printer slot.
2) Verify LAN connection to the printer server is secure.
3) Reattach AC power cord to printer.
4) Turn printer on.
Wait approximately 1 minute for the printer to perform self-tests. Tests
are complete when the printer’s LCD displays Ready or the Ready
indicator light illuminates.
Display Lights (LEDs)
1) If the network is active, the yellow LAN LED-#2 will flash.
2) If the UTP connector is used, the green UTP LED-#1 will illuminate.
3) If the BNC connector is used, the green UTP LED-#1 will not illuminate.

Print Test Pagearameters
The test pageparameter printout is a useful tool that can be used to verify the
connection between the printer server and the printer. The test page contains
the following data:
reference when configuring the printer server. The print out contains
default and recently changed informationPrintersServer nName
To print the test page, perform the following steps:
1) Verify printer has power and is On-Line.
2) Turn the printer OFF.
3) Disconnect the LAN cable.
4) Turn printer ON.

5) Verify the printer is On-Line.
6) The printout will occur within 90 seconds.
If no printout occurs, make sure printer shows power ON, Ready and OnLine. Verify printer server installation and try printing test page again.
NOTE: If the printer is PCL or text only, the test printout
may contain PostScript commands.
Print Configuration Parameters
To obtain a printout of configuration parameters, enter this software
command:
Server>> show server config port port_num [ps]
>
port_num The output is directed to the specified port number.
ps Puts the output in PostScript format.

Reset to Factory Defaults
Before resetting to factory defaults, we recommend that you print out a
configuration page. Using the command described below will reset the
printer server to its factory defaults.
• The printer server will reset to factory defaults when power is cycled.
• The IP address and subnet mask are reset to NONE (000.000.000.000).
• Non-volatile memory is reset to factory defaults.
To reset to factory defaults:
1) Obtain privileged status.
2) Enter this command:
Server>> initialize [server] [delaydelay_min]
