Introduction
TCP/IP Print Servers, not to be confused with Network Print Servers such as HP JetDirect, are
used to receive and distribute messages to the various Apollo® printing devices. This includes
Ticket Printer, Itinerary/Invoice Printers, OSDP Manager and back office Accounting Interface
(MIR).
Galileo also provides Focalpoint Print Manager™, a Windows™ based print distribution
application. If you use this solution for Galileo® or Apollo® host printing, please refer to the
instruction guide for that application to make appropriate changes.
This document will provide the steps required in changing configuration settings. These include:
IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway: Used to communicate with the Host
Reservation System
Configuration Servers: The servers used to authenticate users into the Galileo® or Apollo®
system
Client Identifier: Alphanumeric code used to authenticate users into the Galileo® or Apollo®
reservation system.
GTID (Global Terminal Identifier): A six digit alphanumeric code used by Apollo® or
Galileo® to identify a print device.
Before you begin

Account Representative:
IP ADDRESS: ____.____.____.____
SUBNET MASK: ____.____.____.____

Accessing the TCP/IP Print Server Configuration Utility
From the Print Server Monitor Screen, press the F3 key to exit to a DOS prompt. From a DOS
prompt:
Type “1” and Press ENTER.
If the configuration screen did not appear, locate the RIC directory on the Print Server’s hard
drive. A typical Print Server would have the directory at “C:\RIC”. Using the DOS Change
Directory command “CD\RIC”, change to the RIC directory. Type “PRTCNF” and Press
ENTER

To back-up the data onto a high density diskette, arrow down to “BACKUP” and press ENTER
(or press the “B” key).
Enter Backup Filename:
A:\ .CFG
ESC to Cancel, Enter to Start Backup
Insert the formatted diskette into the drive. Enter a file name (example: PRTSER) and press
ENTER. A message “Writing backup, Please Wait” is briefly displayed on the screen. Once
complete, you will return to the FILE drop down menu.
Remove the disk from the drive, label it “PRINT SERVER CONFIGURATION” and store in a
secure place for use by a Technician if the TCP/IP Print Server needs repaired/replaced.
When finished editing the TCP/IP Print Server configurations, select the FILE menu and
select “EXIT”. Hard Boot the Print Server by turning off the power, waiting 10 seconds,
and turning the Print Server back on.

The IP addresses and Subnet Mask should be pre-filled with the machine’s previous configuration
(initial configuration will show all zeros as indicated above). Over type the old configuration
data with the new. If an IP address has an octet less then three characters in length, DO NOT
ENTER A LEADING ZERO (example: enter “15” not “015”).

If an IP address has an octet less then three characters in length, DO NOT ENTER A LEADING
ZERO (example: enter “15” not “015”).
Change the Client Identifier if needed. This ID is an 8 character alphanumeric code used in the
authentication process. The Client ID is case sensitive so enter the ID exactly as it was given by
your Apollo or Galileo Account Representative.
