2.1 Preparing the Printer

If the printer can generate a test or status page, you should generate one before you begin. This will give you detailed information on the identiﬁcation and conﬁguration of your printer, as well as ensuring that the printer is properly set up and operating.

If you are installing an Ethernet Print Server Card, continue to step 1. If you're installing a Token Ring board, you must ﬁrst set the speed to the same setting as the Token Ring adapter cards on your network. Refer to

tion,

for details.

Warning: If you are installing a Token Ring card, you must set the network speed now.

Changes made after start-up or after you power up the Print Server Card will not be implemented and may cause problems. If you do not set the speed to match the speed of other Token Ring adapter cards on the network, all trafﬁc on the network will come to a halt.

1. Make sure that the printer is operating properly. Check to see that paper is in the paper tray and toner cartridge is full. If the printer handles multiple printer languages, make sure it is set up for automatic emulation sensing or PCL or ASCII mode.

2. Turn off the printer and remove the power cord.

3. Install the Print Server Card in the option port, according to the printer manufacturer instructions.

MAP has the following requirements:

• The Microsoft TCP/IP protocol stack must be installed on this PC. It is not necessary for the network to support TCP/IP. However, the TCP/IP protocol must be installed on this PC even if the network does not support it.

• A web bro wser must be installed on this PC. Both Netscape Na vigator and Internet Explorer are supported.

• If the IPX search functions are to be used, then IPX must be installed on this PC. Both the Microsoft and the NetWare 32-bit stacks are supported.

The Management Access Program (MAP) uses a Windows-based HTML viewer program linked with a proprietary bi-directional IPX/IP channel program to allow access to the Print Server Card's HTML-based monitoring and maintenance capabilities. An IP Web Browser also provides access to this capability directly . Either program allows you to:

• Conﬁgure your network protocols for the Print Server Card.

• Reset the Print Server Card remotely to either clear an error condition, or return the print server to its factory default settings.

• Troubleshoot problems in the Print Server Card.

• Enable or disable the status sheet printout.

• Access a context-sensitive help menu that fully explains how to use each Management Access Program feature.

4.1.6 Set Up Notify Options for the Printer (Optional)

To enable the print server to notify users or user groups if a problem occurs with the printer, set up the Notify options. The print server supports the enhanced NOTIFY options for printers, including informing users when the printer:

• Is off-line, jammed, opened, or out of paper

• Requires a manual paper feed or a form change

• Has had an engine failure

1. Choose Notify List for Printer on the Print Server Conﬁguration menu.

2. Select the printer from the Deﬁned Printers list. The screen appears (which is blank for an initial installation). Press the RETURN key to view a list of Notify Candidates.

3. Select the user or group from the list.

4. Set the First and Next intervals in the Notify Intervals screen. It is recommended that you use the defaults. The First interval is the number of seconds the network waits before it notiﬁes candidates about a print job problem. The Next interval speciﬁes how often in seconds candidates are notiﬁed. Enter a number for each interval and press the RETURN key.

5. Press the ESC key and then choose Save Changes. Press the ESC key at each screen until you reach the Print Server Conﬁguration menu. If you have ﬁnished the conﬁguration, press the ESC key and then save the changes.

4.1.7 Installing the Print Server on Multiple File Servers

To install the print server on more than one ﬁle server, perform the procedures described in Sections 4.1.1 through 4.1.6 for each ﬁle server. You must use the same name and password for the print server (or no password) on all ﬁle servers. You set the password for the Print Server Card using the MAP program (refer to 4.3 Conﬁguring the Print Server Card in NetWare Directory Services). If you use a password, specify it on each ﬁle server using the Change Password option on the Print Server Information menu of the PCONSOLE utility.

When the Print Server Card comes up, it automatically searches for and attaches to the ﬁle servers that are no more than four hops and have no more than eight ticks propagation delay. For extremely large or complex networks, this allows a bounded search time on start-up. If the print server must attach to ﬁle servers beyond this range, or, if you wish to accelerate start-up by eliminating the need to search all ﬁle servers in the four hops/eight ticks radius, the ﬁle servers with which the print server is to operate may be entered into the Print Server Conﬁguration of a primary ﬁle server. The pri-

NetWare Conﬁguration-5

mary ﬁle server can be any ﬁle server within the four hops/eight ticks propagation time limits, but ideally is as close as possible to the print server. Once the print server locates the primary ﬁle server and the list of ﬁle servers to be serviced, the automatic search is dropped and the print server will go directly to those ﬁle servers listed (and to no others).

4.1.8 Primary File Server

To use the primary ﬁle server option, use the following procedure on a ﬁle server close to the printer:

1. List the ﬁle servers to be serviced by the primary ﬁle server by selecting File Server To Be Serviced option from the Print Server Conﬁguration Menu.

2. Press the INSERT key to display the Available File Servers list.

3. Select the name of each ﬁle server to be serviced and press the return key to add it to the File Servers To Be Serviced list.

4. When the list is complete, press the ESC key to return to the menu.

5. Install the Print Server Card on each of the primary ﬁle servers.

4.1.9 Preferred File Servers

The MAP or Web Browser utilities allow you to identify a preferred ﬁle server, to be identiﬁed within the Print Server Card itself. If a preferred ﬁle server is listed, the Print Server Card will attach to this identiﬁed ﬁle server instead of initiating the automatic search. If the preferred ﬁle server is also a primary ﬁle server (for example, has ﬁle servers listed under ﬁle servers to be serviced), the Print Server Card will connect directly to these ﬁle servers.

Note: The Preferred File Server is only applicable to bindery-based queues. Entering it

has no affect on NDS queues.

NetWare Conﬁguration-6

4.2 Conﬁguring NetWare 4.0x Bindery Emulation

Novell's NetWare 4.0x can operate in two modes NetWare Directory Services (NDS) and Bindery Services Emulation. For NDS, see 4.3 Conﬁguring the Print Server Card in NetWare Dir ectory Services. These services run simultaneously and transparently to each other. The Print Server Card may be conﬁgured to operate with Bindery Services mode only (this section), or to operate under NDS (4.3 Conﬁguring the Print Server Card in NetWare Directory Services). When conﬁgured under NDS, the print Server Card will also service older ﬁle servers operating in bindery mode.

Note: If the Print Server Card is not properly set up for NDS and the Bindery Services

mode is not running, the Print Server Card can not ﬁnd its ﬁle servers, and the status page indicates the Novell NetWare protocol is not active.

4.2.1 Conﬁrm Bindery Context

Before installing the Print Server Card on a Novell NetWare 4.x server in Bindery Emulation mode, check that the server has a Bindery Context (name for the server under Bindery Services mode). If the server does not have Bindery Context, it may be preferable to install in NDS mode. If the Print Server Card must be installed in the Bindery Emulation mode, the server must have Bindery Context. Perform the following steps to conﬁrm the server has Bindery Context:

1. Go to the 4.x server and at the system console type: load install

2. Select Maintenance/Selective Install from the menu.

3. Select NCF Files Options from the menu.

4. Select Edit AUT OEXEC.NCF from the menu.

5. Search the ﬁle to see if you have a statement similar to the following included:

SET BINDERY CONTEXT=0U=ENG

Where =0U=ENG is an example of a name for the ﬁle server context. Use your own ﬁle server context in place of =0U=ENG.

6. At the console prompt, type the SET BINDERY CONTEXT statement that you entered in the AUTOEXEC.NCF ﬁle.

NetWare Conﬁguration-7

Note: The command at the console prompt takes effect immediately. The deﬁnition in

the ﬁle takes effect when the server is shut down and then restarted.

4.2.2 Conﬁgure in Bindery Mode with PCONSOLE

Once you conﬁrm the server has Bindery Context, use the following procedures to conﬁgure the Print Server Card.

1. Log into the network as ADMIN.

2. Type PCONSOLE and press the return key. The following screen appears.

Available Options

Print Queues Printers Print Drivers Quick Setup Change Context

3. When the Available Options menu appears, press the o key (for the Bindery Mode).

Note: If you receive a message asking you to login to a server with Bindery connections,

the server you are attached to does not have Bindery Mode enabled. Follow the procedures in 4.2.1 Conﬁrm Bindery Context or log onto a server with Bindery Services activated.

4. From the Available Options screen, select Quick Setup and press the return key. Use Quick Setup to connect your print server, print queue and printer correctly. You can modify these later if you need to.

5. Select Print server and press the n key to modify the entry.

6. Enter the name of the print server in the Print server ﬁeld and press the return key.

NetWare Conﬁguration-8

Note: The print server name is printed under the Novell Network Information on the

Status and Conﬁguration report. The factory default name consists of three letter identiﬁer, an Underscore, and the serial number of the unit.

7. Press the ESC key to move to the New printer ﬁeld. Enter a name and press the return key.

8. Press the ESC key to move to the New print queue ﬁeld. Enter a name and press the return key.

9. Press the ESC key to move to the Printer type ﬁeld and press the return key. From the list of printer types, select Other/Unknown and press the return key.

10. When you are ﬁnished, press the u key to save the conﬁguration. Repeat steps 5 through 10 for each ﬁle server that the printer server services.

11. To view, add, delete, or modify print servers or queues after the initial setup, select either the Print Queues or Print Servers option on the Available Options screen.

NetWare Conﬁguration-9

4.3 Conﬁguring the Print Server Card in NetWare Directory Services

NetWare Directory Services (NDS) offers a different, more advanced approach to network management than previous NetWare versions. Generally, it stores and tracks all network objects. As a rule, all 4.x servers must have NDS loaded in order to function. In this way, every NetWare 4.x server is a Directory server, because it services named Directory objects such as printers, print servers and print queues. With the appropriate privileges, you can create a print server object, which, once conﬁgured in its context (or location) on the network, eliminates the cumbersome setup of print servers on every network server. NDS provides true enterprise networking based on a shared net- work database rather than a individually deﬁned physical sites. The result is greatly improved print server setup and management.

The Directory Information Base (DIB) is used to store information about servers and services, users, printers, gateways, etc. It is a distributed database, allowing access to data anywhere on the network wherever it is stored. Pre-4.x NetWare versions provide the same data found in the DIB but the data is stored in the NetWare Bindery. The DIB was designed with more ﬂexible access, more speciﬁc security, and, since it is distributed, it was designed to be partitioned. The Directory uses an object-oriented structure rather than the ﬂat-ﬁle structure of the Bindery, and offers network-oriented access, rather than server-oriented access found in the Bindery.

The Directory is backward-compatible with the NetWare Bindery through Bindery emulation mode. Section 4.3 describes Print Server Operation with a 4.x NetWare system in bindery emulation mode. When Bindery emulation is enabled, Directory Services will accept Bindery requests and respond just as if a Bindery existed on the NetWare server being accessed. Be aware that information obtained from the Bindery query may not be stored in the server since the Directory is a partitioned and distributed database. Even though the NetWare 4.x server is not operating from a Bindery, the applications making Bindery requests will not know the difference.

You may use NW ADMIN to conﬁgure the printer in NDS. Prior to printing, NDS must be set up as follows and the Print Server Card must be set up with NDS Context and Tree. See Section 4.4. The steps below describe the use of NWADMIN conﬁguration to create printer, print server, and print queue objects. Then, you will assign, or associate, those objects with each other. If you wish to keep Bindery resources on any server, you can under NetWare 4.x if you declare a SET statement in your AUTOEXEC.NCF ﬁle.

NetWare Conﬁguration-10

For those who prefer, NetWare does offer PCONSOLE as an alternative to NWADMIN. PCONSOLE can be used to set up static information about print servers such as: which queues to service, and whom to notify in the event of a problem. See Novell NetWare documentation for more information about the use of PCONSOLE for NDS.

NetWare Conﬁguration-17

4.3.7 Set Up and Reset the Printer

NWADMIN conﬁguration is complete. Before you can begin printing, though, be sure to set up and reset (power cycle) the printer.

4.4 Print Server Card Conﬁguration

The MAP utility or an IP Web Browser must used to deﬁne the context and tree of the Print Server. It is also used to change the Print Server name, set a password, modify scan and frame search parameters, and sent in bindery-mode speciﬁc values.

Use the MAP utility or IP Web Browser (refer to Chapter 3) to access the Setup pages of the Print Server Card. Once you have accessed the Network Administration pages or the Main Menu, do the following:

1. Select Setup NetWare under Protocols.

2. Select Enable NetWare. If it is not selected, the NetWare protocols will not come up, the Print Server card will not appear as an advertised device, and the NIC will not be accessible using IPX SNMP.

3. The default name for the NetWare Print Server is XXX_123456, where XXX is a three character sequence identifying the manufacturer, and 123456 is the serial number of the Print Server Card. This is also the default name of the printer in peer-to-peer mode. If you want to change the default Print Server name, type this name in the Print Server Name space. Leave the space blank if the default name is to be used.

4. If you want the Print Server Card login with a password, this password may be entered in the Print Server Password ﬁeld, and again in the Password Retype ﬁeld. If a password is used, this password must be the same password for all bindery-based and NDS-based Print Server entries.

5. Enter the name of a preferred bindery-based ﬁle server in the Preferred File Server ﬁeld. The Preferred File Server entry is signiﬁcant only for bindery or bindery emulation based operations. Refer to 4.1.9 Preferred File Servers for the signiﬁcance of a Preferred File Server . The Print Server must be conﬁgured on the preferred ﬁle server. Incorrect setup of a Preferred File Server can interfere with NetWare printing.

NetWare Conﬁguration-18

6. If the Print Server is to be operated under Novell Directory Services, type in a

Context entry and P

referred NDS Tree entry in the appropriate ﬁelds. Be sure to

give the whole context, whether typed or typeless, and do not begin your context path with a trailing period (.). If you don't know your tree, type: whoami at the DOS command line. A typed context name example is:

ou=standard.ou=organization_1

7. In the default mode, the Print Server scans each queue which it is to service once per second. If you prefer a longer scan rate, you may enter the time between scans in seconds in the Print Queue Scan Rate ﬁeld.

8. The Print Server Card will normally monitor the network to determine which frame type is being used for Novell. When it recognizes a type, it will assume the same frame type. Once it selects a frame type, the Print Server Card will only operate over that Novell frame type. Monitoring normally starts looking for IEEE

802.3, then Ethernet II, then 802.3 SNAP, etc. If your network is using multiple frame types for Novell, you should bias the frame search to the desired type by setting the button next to the designation under Ethernet Frame Type.

9. You can Disable Bindery mode on the Print Server if are operating in NDS mode only . To do so, click on that box. If you disable Bindery, the Print Serv er Card will not support Print Servers on a Bindery ﬁle server.

10. Once you have selected all desired settings and entered the desired NetW are infor mation, you may cause this information to be entered in the Print Server Card NV RAM by clicking on Accept Settings. As with all value changes, if you have not entered the Print Server Card Management Password before, you must enter it in the appropriate space before clicking on Accept Settings.

11. Entered values do not take effect until the Print Server Card is reset or power cycled. You may reset from MAP or the Web Browser by returning to the Home or Network Administration page, and click on Reset under System. Now click on Reset Unit. Alternatively, you may power cycle the printer. The new NetWare values should now be in effect.

Windows Peer-to-Peer Printing

5.1 Windows IPX Peer-to-Peer Printing

Windo ws Peer-to-Peer printing allo ws Windows 95/98 workstations and Windo ws NT

4.0 workstations and servers to print to Print Server Card printers without an intervening server and without using IP. The main features of the Windows IPX Peer-to-Peer printing are as follows:

• Runs on Windows-95/98 workstations and on Windows NT 4.0 workstations or

servers "out of the box".

• Runs on networks which do not have a NetWare ﬁle server, as well as those that do.

• Implements IPX peer-to-peer bi-directional printing between W indows w orkstations

and Print Server Card printers.

5.1.1 Introduction and Preparation

The Peer-to-Peer implementation uses the IPX/SPX stacks that are provided with Windo ws 95/98 or Windows NT 4.0. The redirector software provided will establish a connection with the printers supporting IPX Peer-to-Peer, without using an intermediate ﬁle server, whether or not your network uses Novell NetWare.

When conﬁguring the network capabilities for the Windows computer, you must include the "IPX/SPX Compatible Protocol". If you are not using NetWare, you do not need to activate any NetWare Client application.

This inclusion of IPX/SPX can also be done after initial Windows installation by going to the Network setup function under Control Panel. To do this, you will need the Windows CD.

Note: Because Peer-to-Peer uses the IPX/SPX Protocol, Novell operation must remain

enabled on the Print Server Card, even if traditional Novell printing facilities are not being used. The name of the Peer-to-Peer printer , as it appears in the Windows Port List, is the same as the Novell Print Server name, and may be changed by changing the Novell Print Server name using the Web-based management or MAP utilities.

Windows Peer-to-Peer Printing-1

On power up, the Print Server Card snif fs the network to see if there is No vell acti vity. If there is, it will use the same frame type and the local network number that it senses. If, in addition, the NIC can log on to a ﬁle server, it will assume that Novell is normally used and will store this frame type and new number in NV RAM so that, when it comes up again, it will not have to spend the time sensing (which can take some time). However, if the NIC cannot attach to a ﬁle server, it will use the sensed values, but will not store them.

If the NIC does not see any Novell activity, it will use 802.2 on 802.3 as a frame type and will assign itself a network number of 0. The frame type and network number being used is reported on the status and conﬁguration sheet.

If a NIC is being moved from a site that had active Novell to a site that does not, the unit should be reset to factory default to clear the frame type and network number information.

5.1.2 Installation and Operation

Install the Windows IPX Peer-to-Peer redirector as follows:

1. Put the CD ROM which came with your NIC into the CD ROM drive.

2. From the Windows main window, click on Start.

3. Click on Run.

4. From Run, type <CDROM drive>:\IPX-P2P\SETUP.EXE.

5. Click on OK.

6. At the IPX Peer-to-Peer Setup screen, click on Next.

Note: If setup detected a previous installation of the IPX Peer-to-Peer Redirector, it will

prompt you to have Setup delete the old driver and continue the installation procedure. Click on Yes or No.

Once the redirector is installed, each printer on the network that supports this peer-topeer capability will appear as a Port under Printer Properties.

To use the Peer-to-Peer connection, create a logical printer using the Add Printer Wizard according to the instructions for your printer. Set up the printer as a LOCAL printer. Use the driver that came with your printer.

When the Add Printer Wizard asks you to choose the Port, select the name of the Peer-to-Peer printer you wish to print to. When you complete the installation, select the Print Test Page option.

Windows Peer-to-Peer Printing-2

5.2 Windows IP Peer-to-Peer Printing

For more detailed information on TCP/IP setup and printing, see Chapter 7. Windows IP Peer-to-Peer printing allows Windows 95/98 workstations and Windows

NT 4.0 workstations and servers to print to Print Server Card printers without an intervening server and without using IPX. The main features of the Windows IP Peer-toPeer printing are as follows:

• Runs on Windows 95/98 workstations and on Windows NT 4.0 w orkstations or serv-

ers "out of the box".

• Implements IP peer-to-peer bi-directional printing between Windows workstations

and Print Server Card printers.

5.2.1 Introduction and Preparation

The Peer-to-Peer implementation uses the TCP/IP stacks that are provided with Windows 95/98 or Windows NT 4.0. The redirector software provided will establish a connection with the printers supporting Peer-to-Peer, using a direct IP connection o ver the network.

When conﬁguring the network capabilities for the Windows computer, you must include the "TCP/IP Protocol". You do not need to activate any TCI/IP Client application.

This inclusion of TCP/IP can also be done after initial Windows installation by going to the Network setup function under Control Panel. To do this, you will need the Windows CD.

Note: Because Peer-to-Peer uses the TCP/IP Protocol, TCP/IP operation must remain

enabled on the Print Server Card, and the Print Server Card must be assigned a valid IP address. The name of the Peer-to-Peer printer, as it appears in the Windows Port List, is the same as the IP Address assigned to the Print Server Card. The IP Address may be changed by changing the TCP/IP section using the Webbased management or MAP utilities.

If a NIC is being moved from a site that had active TCP/IP to a site that does not, the unit should be reset to factory default to clear the IP Address and other network information.

Windows Peer-to-Peer Printing-3

5.2.2 Installation and Operation

Install the Windows IP Peer-to-Peer redirector as follows:

1. Put the CD ROM that came with the NIC into your CD drive.

2. From the Windows main window, click on Start.

3. Click on Run.

4. From Run, type <CD ROM drive>:\IP-P2P\SETUP.EXE.

5. Click on OK.

6. At the IP Peer-to-Peer Setup screen, click on Next.

Note: If setup detected a previous installation of the IP Peer-to-Peer Redirector, it will

prompt you to have Setup delete the old driver and continue the installation procedure. Click on Yes or No.

Once the redirector is installed, each printer on the network that supports this peer-topeer capability will appear as a Port under Printer Properties.

When the Add Printer Wizard asks you to choose the Port, select the name of the Peerto-Peer printer you wish to print to. When you complete the installation, select the Print Test Page option.

6.2 Loading the AppleTalk NIManage Utility Program

The AppleTalk NIManage utility program has the following functions:

• View and modify the names of the printer or printer zone.

• Enable or disable the Status/Conﬁguration report.

• View the error log.

• Enable or disable other protocols and view or modify the TCP/IP address, subnet

mask, and default gateway address.

Use the following procedure to get access to AppleTalk NIManage utility program:

1. Copy the ﬁles from the Macintosh AppleTalk NIManage utility program diskette

to a folder.

2. When the AppleTalk NIManage utility program icon displays on the desktop,

double-click on it. The Zone and Device screen is displayed.

3. For each zone, the Device display panel sho ws the av ailable Print Server Cards. If

your network has no zones, the screen shows only the Device display panel. Select the name of your network zone.

Note: If you have one zone, the above screen will not display.

4. From the Device display panel, select the Print Server Card. After you select the

device, a menu of options is added to the menu bar at the top of your screen.

AppleTalk Conﬁguration-3

6.3 Conﬁguring the Print Server Card

You use the options added to the menu bar to conﬁgure the print server. Depending on your printer, certain operations may not be available. These functions will be grayed out and cannot be selected.

6.3.1 Conﬁguration

Use the Conﬁguration function to change the names of the device and AppleTalk Zone. These changes are stored only in the print server and are not passed on to the PostScript interpreter. When you choose this function, the following screen is displayed:

1. To change the print server device name, click on the name displayed and then

enter the new name. Be careful when you do this. Many printers maintain the printer name in the printer controller where it can be changed using a Macintosh utility. If you change the name in the Print Server Card, you may make the network interface and the printer become "out of sync".

2. To change the AppleTalk Zone, click on the zone displayed. A menu displays all

available zones.

3. Select the new zone from the menu.

4. Click on OK when you have ﬁnished viewing this screen or when you are done

making changes.

5. Turn off the printer and then turn it on again to make the changes take effect. The

status sheet should identify the new printer name and the new zone preference.

6.3.2 Error Log

The Error Log function is used to view a log of events that the Print Server Card has registered. The log contains information as well as errors. Customer Support may need the information on this screen if your Print Server Card encounters problems.

When you choose this function, a screen containing the text of the log is displayed. You can print the error log contents by using the Print option under the File menu. To save the contents of the error log, do one of the following:

• Use the Save As option from the File menu to save the entire log ﬁle.

• Use the Edit option to cut, copy, and paste some or all of the log ﬁle.

Note: This does not enter data into the error log itself. The data is cleared each time the

printer is power cycled.

6.3.3 Protocol Setup

Use the Protocol Setup option to conﬁgure network protocols other than AppleTalk. When you select the Protocol Setup function, the following screen is displayed:

Note: The default values for the IP address and Subnet Mask are shown as zeros. How-

ever, this represents a "no IP address" condition, not an IP address.

1. Click the protocols to On if you want them to be active. Click those protocols that

you do not want to use to Off. The utility will not let you make active any protocol that the Print Server Card does not support or cannot handle because of active protocol limitations.

2. Enter the IP address and subnet mask if you have enabled TCP/IP. Enter the

default gateway address, if you have one.

AppleTalk Conﬁguration-5

3. Click on OK when you have ﬁnished using this screen.

4. You must power the printer off and on to make the changes take effect.

6.3.4 Options

AppleTalk Conﬁguration-6

TCP/IP Conﬁguration

This chapter explains how to conﬁgure the Print Server Card and your netw ork for use with TCP/IP communication in various environments. Independent setup and installation procedures are provided for Windows systems and for most popular UNIX systems. The Print Server Card TCP/IP capability will also operate with lpr spoolers on other systems, and with spooler/supervisor capabilities that communicate raw print jobs to the Print Server TCP/IP Port. The IP Peer-to-Peer redirector for Windows 95/ 98 and Windows NT systems, provided with the Print Server Card, uses this TCP/IP port. The default port number is 10001, but may be changed to any desired number using the Telnet utility, SNMP, or the HTML pages accessible via MAP or a Web Browser. Section 7.5 Running Telnet, describes the interactive setup capability acces- sible through the Telnet utility on any TCP/IP platform, and is equally applicable to Windo ws, UNIX, and other TCP/IP environments. The use of MAP or a W eb Bro wser to access HTML management pages in the Print Server Card is described in Chapter

7.1 Installation in a Windows Environment

The several versions and variations of Microsoft Windows may be used on a NetWare and/or TCP/IP networks, as well as in a nativ e Microsoft Windo ws netw ork. This ﬂexibility allows various options for setting up the network printing system even though this Print Server Card does not support NetBEUI. If the Windows workstations are connected to a NetW are network, conﬁgure the printer interf aces for NetWare, and use standard W indows/NetW are utilities to pro vide access to the printer. If NetWare is not to be used, the users may access the printer using TCP/IP. Windows 95/98 and Windows NT 4.0 users can also use the Print Server Card Peer-to-Peer capability as described in Chapter 5. The following sections describe installation using TCP/IP under Windo ws for W orkgroups, Windows 95/98, and Windo ws NT.

7.1.1 Windows for Workgroups

Printing with TCP/IP requires that the workstation have TCP/IP capability and the corresponding spooler, lpr; or that the workstation can share an lpr queue on a Windows NT server (for example) that has one. In general, if printers are not shared, an lpr queue must be created on each workstation from which printing is initiated. See the Windows documentation about sharing printers.

Windows for Workgroups does not normally come with TCP/IP. However, various TCP/IP facilities are available for Windows for Workgroups workstations, including a

TCP/IP Conﬁguration-1

free TCP/ IP provided by Microsoft. There are third party lpr spoolers available. The following instructions are based on the Microsoft TCP/IP and a share w are lpr application that is available from various sources, including the Print Server Card manufacturer. You will need the ﬁles WFWTCP32.zip and WFWTCP32.txt for the TCP/IP, and wlprs41.zip and wlprspl.txt for the lpr.

You will need the BOOTPL16 program if you wish to use the BOOTP Lite program to set up IP parameters. The BOO TPL16 program is provided with the Print Serv er Card.

7.1.1.1 Installing TCP/IP

Follow the instructions in the text ﬁle for the TCP/IP stack to set up TCP/IP on the workstations.

7.1.1.2 Loading the

lpr

Spooler

The Windo ws lpr Spooler Version 4.1 - User's Guide (wlprspl.txt), provides detailed instructions for decompressing and installing the shareware lpr spooler.

7.1.1.3 Setting up the Print Server Card

The Print Server Card must be given IP address and routing information to be used with TCP/IP. This can be done with Management Access Program (MAP) if you have a NetWare connection on your network, or with AppleTalk NIManage for Macintosh utility program if there is an Apple Macintosh on the netw ork. F ollow the instructions for these programs which are documented elsewhere in this manual. If you cannot use these programs, you can use either the ARP procedure or the BOOTP Lite program.

Prior to running these programs, install the Print Server Card in your printer. Power-up the printer. Keep the status sheet handy for the Ethernet or Token Ring

(MAC) address. It should sho w that TCP/IP is enabled, b ut that the Protocol address is not conﬁgured. If the unit already has an IP address, these procedures will not work. However, you can Telnet to the unit or use the HTML pages accessed by MAP or a Web Browser to change the IP parameters.

7.1.1.4 Assigning IP Address with ARP

The Print Server Card must be on the same network segment as the workstation that you are using to conﬁgure it. The TCP/IP stack must be installed and operating.

Use the procedures in 7.1.1.5 Assigning IP Address with BOOTP Lite, if you prefer to use BOOTP Lite to conﬁgure the IP address instead of ARP.

1. From Windows, enter the MS/DOS box.

2. At the command prompt enter:

TCP/IP Conﬁguration-2

ping [any valid IP address on your network - not the print server]; the identified unit should reply.

After the response, enter: arp -s [IP address of Print Server Card] [MAC Address

of Print Server Card]; the entry should be accepted. ping [IP address of Print Server Card]; request

should time out.

3. Recycle the power on the printer, or let the Print Server Card reset itself. The

Print Server Card will produce a status page that should include the entered IP address.

4. When the Print Server Card is up again, type the following at the command

prompt:

ping [IP address of Print Server Card] (continue until you get a reply)

Note: This only enters the IP address; you must use the Telnet facility or the HTML

pages accessed by MAP or a Web Browser to complete the IP setup for networks where subnets are used. See 7.5 Running Telnet, for instructions on how to enter the other IP parameters.

7.1.1.5 Assigning IP Address with BOOTPL16

This program uses the BOOTP protocol. The Print Server Card must be on the same network segment as the workstation that you are using to conﬁgure it. The TCP/IP stack must be installed and operating. The BOOTPL16 program will not work in a Windows PC Operating as a DHCP Server.

The BOOTPL16 program will work with a 16 Bit TCP/IP Stack (FTP, NetManage, B&W, or WFWG).

1. Copy the BOOTPL16.exe ﬁle to the Windows directory of your workstation.

2. Reset the printer.

Note: The Print Server Card issues the BOOTP request for a ﬁnite period of time. The

print server must be freshly reset for this program to work.

3. From Program Manager under File, select Run \windows\ BOOTPL16.exe.

4. Pull down the Admin menu to Conﬁgure option.

TCP/IP Conﬁguration-3

5. Enter the IP address that you want to assign to the Print Server Card, its Subnet

Mask (make sure it matches what you are using on your subnet), the Default Gateway (your router's IP address), and the MAC address of the Print Server Card (Hardware Address, listed on the Status sheet as Ethernet Address). Use colons as delimiters as shown on the status sheet rather than the dashes that Windows uses.

6. Click on Go. You will get a message that the program is Verifying, and then it will

tell you whether the unit is active or not.

7. Wait for about ﬁve minutes for the Print Server Card to reset. The Status sheet

should report the newly entered IP information.

8. Enter the MS/DOS box. At the command prompt enter:

ping [IP address of Print Server Card] (continue until you get a reply)

If it does not respond, verify that TCP/IP is enabled on the status sheet. If the status sheet does not show the IP information, then repeat the above procedures.

7.1.1.6 Setting up IP and

lpr

Parameters

The Print Server Card provides for a setup connection via the standard Telnet port. To be able to make changes to a unit with factory default settings, you must logon as "sysadm". The default password is also "sysadm" (This password can be changed from the Telnet utility). Section 7.5 Running T elnet, describes the use of the Telnet util- ity .

1. Telnet to the Print Server Card (the login and password are both "sysadm").

2. Turn off the protocols that you are not utilizing (option 3).

3. Setup the subnet mask and default gateway for the Print Server Card if applicable

(menu option 1). (If you used BOOTP, this will already have been done).

4. Exit, Save and Reset the Print Server Card. You can also use the HTML pages accessible via MAP or a W eb Bro wser to setup lpr.

The password to change parameters with the HTML pages is the same as the Telnet password.

7.1.1.7 Creating an

Queue on the Workstation

Once you install the spooler onto the workstation, the setup program will create a group and icon.

1. Double click on the spooler icon.

2. Click on setup, and deﬁne a new queue.

TCP/IP Conﬁguration-4

3. At the Remote Host Name prompt enter the Print Server Card IP Address. Enter

PORT1 for the Remote Printer Name.

4. Go to Control Panel, Printers, and choose Connect.

5. Select your driver and click on Next. At this point, you should see an entry for your Windows lpr Spooler's printer in the

"Available ports" listing. For example, C:\SPOOL\PRINTER_NAME.

7.1.2 Microsoft Windows 95/98

Windows 95/98 comes with a TCP/IP stack. To print with this protocol, a client also requires an lpr utility. This program is available from various sources. The lpr queue can be created on each workstation or the lpr queue can be created on one workstation and shared on the network. Windows 95/98 workstations can also share a lpr printer installed on an Windows NT server on the network.

The following instructions are based on the a shareware lpr application that is avail- able from various sources, including the Print Server Card manufacturer. You will need the wlprs41.zip and wlprspl.txt for the lpr.

If you wish to use the Bootp Lite program, you will also need the BOOTPL32.EXE and ﬁle provided with this Print Server Card in the BOOTP directory of the CD ROM.

7.1.2.1 Loading the

The Windo ws lpr Spooler Version 4.1 - User's Guide (wlprspl.txt) provides detailed instructions for decompressing and installing the shareware lpr spooler.

7.1.2.2 Setting up the Print Server Card

The Print Server Card must be given IP address and routing information to be used with TCP/IP. This can be done with MAP if you have a IPX connection on your network, or with AppleTalk NIManage utility program if there is an Apple Macintosh on the network. Follow the instructions for these programs which are documented elsewhere. If you cannot use these programs, you can use either the ARP procedure, or the BOOTPL32 program.

1. Install the Print Server Card in your printer.

2. Power-up the printer. Keep the status sheet handy for the Ethernet (MAC) address. It should show that

TCP/IP is enabled but that the Protocol address is not conﬁgured. If the unit already has an IP address, these procedures will not work. However, you

7.1.2.3 Assigning IP Address with ARP

The Print Server Card must be on the same network segment as the workstation that you are using to conﬁgure it. The TCP/IP stack must be installed and operating.

You can use BOOTPL32 to conﬁgure the IP address instead of ARP.

1. From Windows, enter the MS/DOS box. At the command prompt enter:

ping [any valid IP address on your network - not the print server]. The identified unit should reply. After the response, enter:

arp -s [IP address of the Print Server Card] [MAC Address of the Print Server Card]. The entry should be accepted.

ping [IP address of the Print Server Card]. Request should time out.

2. Recycle the power on the printer, or let the Print Server Card reset itself. The

Print Server Card will produce a status page that should include the entered IP address.

3. When the Print Server Card is up again, at the command prompt, enter:

ping [IP address of Print Server Card] (continue until you get a reply).

Note: This only enters the IP address. You must use the Telnet facility, (Section 7.5 Run-

ning Telnet,) to enter the other IP parameters.

7.1.2.4 Assigning IP Address with BOOTPL32

You may provide the IP address and other IP parameters to the printer Print Server Card on 32 Bit TCP/IP Stack (Windows NT & Windows 95/98) using the BOOTPL32.exe program. You will have to store the BOOTPL32.exe ﬁle in the Windows directory. The BOOTPL32.exe program will not work if the Windows PC is an active DHCP Server.

TCP/IP Conﬁguration-6

1. Reset the printer.

Note: The Print Server Card issues the BOOTP request for a ﬁnite period of time. The

print server must be freshly reset for this program to work.

2. From Program Manager under File, select Run BOOTPL32.exe.

3. Pull down the Admin menu to Conﬁgure option.

4. Enter the IP address that you want to assign to the Print Server Card, its Subnet

Mask (make sure it matches what you are using on your subnet), Default Gateway (your router's IP address), and the MAC address of the Print Server Card (Hardware Address, listed on the Status sheet as Ethernet Address). Use colons as delimiters as shown on the status sheet rather than the dashes Windows uses.

5. Click on Go.

6. Wait about ﬁve minutes. The Print Server Card should recycle and produce a sta-

tus sheet showing the IP parameters you have just entered.

7. Pull down Admin menu to Verify. You should get a message back stating that the

Unit is Acti v e. If you do not get this message, v erify that TCP/IP is enabled on the status sheet.

Note: Once you have lpr installed on an Windows NT Server workstation and have

allowed printer sharing, other workstations may use the printer through the Microsoft Windo ws Network without having to have separate lpr queues installed on each workstation.

Note: If you wish to use BOO TPL, you will need the BOOTPL32.EXE ﬁle. This ﬁle is

in the BOOTP directory on the CD ROM which comes with the Print Server Card.

TCP/IP Conﬁguration-8

7.1.3.1 Setting Up the Print Server Card

The Print Server Card must be given an IP address and routing information to be used with TCP/IP. This can be done with MAP if you have a NetWare connection on your network, or with AppleTalk NIManage utility program if there is an Apple Macintosh on the network. Follow the instructions for these programs which are documented elsewhere. If you cannot use these programs, you can use either the ARP procedure or the BOOTPL32 program.

1. Install the Print Server Card in your printer.

2. Power-up the printer. Keep the status sheet handy for the Ethernet (MAC) address. It should show that

TCP/IP is enabled but that the Protocol address is not conﬁgured. If the unit already has an IP address, these procedures will not work. However, you

7.2 Dynamic Host Conﬁguration Protocol

DHCP is a service much like BootP that provides a method for assignment and maintenance of IP addresses. The Print Server Card is able to obtain IP information from this service.

There are two user settable variables related to the DHCP function. These are accessible in the TCP section of Network Administration, in the HTML pages.

• DHCP enable

• Use IP info in NVRAM a. If DHCP is not enabled, the Print Server Card will make no DHCP requests under

any circumstances. If the Print Server Card does not have an IP address stored, or if "Use IP info in NVRAM" is OFF, the Print Server Card will issue BOOTP requests, etc.

b. If DHCP is enabled, the Print Server Card will make DHCP requests when the Print Server Card is reset or on power up, provided that the Print Serv er Card does not ha ve an IP address stored, or that "Use IP info in NVRAM" is OFF. These DHCP requests will be in addition to BOOTP requests.

c. If DHCP is enabled, and the Print Server Card had an IP address in NVRAM, and "Use IP info in NVRAM" is ON, then the Print Server Card will use the IP information from NVRAM and there will be no DHCP activity on the part of the Print Server Card.

The factory default is with both DHCP enable ON and Use IP info in NVRAM ON. In this case, the Print Server Card will issue DHCP requests if it does not already have IP identiﬁcation information stored in its NVRAM.

If DHCP is enabled and the Print Server Card is in the default mode, you must establish a

permanent lease or reservation for the Print Server Card in the DHCP server. Failure to do this may cause the same address to be given out to another host.

7.3 IP Discovery and Peer to Peer Printing

This section explains how to setup and use the following two IP functions:

• IP Printer Discovery, which allows you to ﬁnd print servers on your network.

• IP Peer-to-Peer Printing, which allows you to set up your print server ports for peer

to peer printing for IP on Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 95/98.

Note: All features of IP Discovery are now included as part of MAP versions 3.02 and

higher.

7.3.1 How to Install

Place the CD ROM into the CD ROM drive.

• In Windows 95/98 or Windows NT 4.0, go to START and then RUN. Type <CD

ROM drive>:\IP-DISC\SETUP.EXE. Click on OK when done. Follow the program prompts.

7.3.2 Conﬁgure IP Discovery

Once you install the program, you can Conﬁgure IP Unit Discovery with the hop count. The default hop count is 2.

The hop count number determines how many subnetworks the program will search to ﬁnd units. An entry of 0 on the screen searches only the current subnet. An entry of 2 would search the wire directly connected to the workstation, and, all networks accessible through two routers. Entries of 15 or higher will automatically search every connected network (this number is not recommended due to the amount of trafﬁc it will generate).

Once a hop count is entered, click on OK.

7.3.3 IP Unit Discovery

Select IP Unit Discovery to search your network for all compatible print servers available.

The response is provided through the default Web Browser on your workstation. Once a list of units appears, you can select the print server unit you want to conﬁgure or reconﬁgure by clicking on the URL of the unit (which is http:// followed by the IP address).

TCP/IP Conﬁguration-13

Once you click on the URL of the unit you want to conﬁgure, the program automatically enters Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, or your default browser to access the unit’s HTTP Serv er. Once the HTTP Server home page appears, you can conﬁgure or reconﬁgure your unit.

7.3.4 IP Peer-to-Peer Setup

IP Peer-to-Peer printing allows you to print to a network printer for networks without a ﬁle server or for networks where you do not want to use the server for printing. Use peer-to-peer printing on Windows NT (4.0), and Windows 95/98 systems. Click on the IP-P2P menu item in Windows to bring up the peer-to-peer printing setup screen. An explanation for each ﬁeld on the screen is described below.

• Max Hops for Search. Once you install the program, you can setup IP Peer-To-Peer

with the hop count. The default hop count is 2. The hop count number determines how many networks the program will search to ﬁnd units. An entry of 0 on the screen searches only the network wire directly connected to the workstation. An entry of 2 would search the wire directly connected to the workstation, and, all networks accessible through two routers. Entries of 15 or higher will automatically search every connected network (this number is not recommended due to the network trafﬁc it would generate).

• IP Port Base: The starting port number for the printserver. The default is 10000

(corresponding to a TCP/IP port of 10001) but you can change it if you need to.

• Printer Names: Lets you select how you can view the printer names in the Win-

dows port list.

• Based on Serial Number: Uses the printer server serial number to identify the

printer names. For example, if SN991354 is the serial number of the unit, SN991354 would be the printer port.

• Based on IP Address: Use the IP address to identify the printer names For exam-

ple, if 199.99.92.99 is the IP address for the unit, 199.99.92.99 would be the printer port.

• Based on DNS (Domain Name Server: Uses the DNS name to identify the printer

name. For example, <PTR-MKTG.DOMAIN.COM>.

• Based on Unit Name: Uses the NIC Peer-to-Peer name set in the Novell section of

the print server setup. This is the name used to identify the printer. This defaults to xxx123456 where the xxx stands for the three letter identiﬁer of the manufacturer and the digits represent the serial number of the NIC.

7.4 FTP Printing

7.4.1 FTP Printing Using Netscape

Connect to the port you wish to send the print job to on your print server . For e xample, to print your print server from Netscape (must be Netscape 2.0 or greater), do the following:

1. Type: ftp://port1@<destination server IP address>

2. Select File.

3. Select Upload File.

Note: FTP printing does not support selecting multiple ﬁle names.

The selected ﬁle is now sent to the printer.

7.4.2 Drag and Drop Method using Netscape

You can also use the "drag and drop" method of printing ﬁles from Netscape. For example, to print a ﬁle on your print server from Netscape (must be Netscape 2.0 or greater), do the following:

1. Type: ftp://port1@<destination server IP address>

2. Click and hold on the ﬁle that is on your system and drag it to your IP browsers

window.

3. Click on OK to upload ﬁle. The selected ﬁle is now sent to the printer.

Note: FTP printing does not support selecting multiple ﬁle names. Only one person can

be logged on to a port at any particular time.

7.4.3 FTP Client

To print from a FTP Client, do the following:

1. Type: ftp <destination server ID>

2. Type: port1 as the login.

3. Type: put <ﬁlename> The selected ﬁle is now sent to the printer.

TCP/IP Conﬁguration-16

7.5 UNIX Printing

The Print Server Card can support UNIX TCP/IP printing in two modes:

• Host-based lpd where a supplied line printer daemon is run on one or more worksta-

tions and print data is communicated to the Print Server Card via a TCP/IP port, or,

• Printer-based lpd where the printer appears as a host running a line printer daemon. In general, printer-based lpd is easiest to use on BSD UNIX systems, requiring an

entry in the printcap ﬁle once the Print Server Card has its IP information. Some UNIX System V systems have restrictions on support of remote lpr/lpd printers, requiring that the host-based lpr/lpd approach be used. For many operating systems, you have the option of using host-resident printing or print server-resident printing. Each mode has certain advantages.

• The host-resident method can print the username and ﬁlename on its banner page;

the print server-resident method prints a banner page with the host's name.

• The print server-resident method requires you to conﬁgure the printer only one

time, when you install the print server. The host-resident method requires that a printing daemon be installed on every host that you want to be able to print jobs.

Note: The Print Server Card will also operate with other host-resident print supervisor/

spooler programs that present a print image to the printer over a TCP/IP port. The base TCP/IP port number can be changed via Telnet, or the Print Server Card HTML setup pages accessed by MAP or a Web Browser. Remember, the actual port is always one higher than the base port number. The Status and Conﬁguration page indicates the actual port number.

TCP/IP Conﬁguration-17

Between the host-based and printer-based TCP/IP printing capabilities, the Print Server Card works with:

• All UNIX systems that support lpd/lpr

• System V Rel. 4 (on 386 platforms)

• DEC ULTRIX RISC Versions 4.3 and 4.4

• DEC OSF/1 Versions 2.0 and 3.0

• Solaris:

Version 1.1.3 (SunOS 4.1.3), Version 2.3 (SunOS 5.3), Version 2.4, and Version 2.5

• HP-UX Series 700 and 800 Version 9.01 and Version 10.0

• IBM AIX Version 3.2.5

• SCO UNIX Version 3.2

• AS400 The TCP/IP diskette also includes source code that you can recompile into host-based

code for conﬁguring on other System V platforms.

7.5.1 Conﬁguring the IP Address on the Print Server Card

Regardless of the printing mode selected, the Print Server Card must be given IP address and routing parameters. You can conﬁgure the IP address for the Print Server Card in one of the following ways:

• Use MAP, as described in Chapter 3.

• Use AppleTalk NIManage utility program, as described in Chapter 6.

• Use the Internet Boot Protocol (BOOTP).

• Use the reverse ARP (rarp) capability (Ethernet II frame type only).

• Use arp and ping capability. For each method, you will need to provide the Ethernet address of the Print Server

Card. The Ethernet address is the 12-character code that is printed under Network Address on the conﬁguration status report each time the printer is turned on.

TCP/IP Conﬁguration-18

You can use the BOOTP, rarp, or ping procedures only when the Print Server is in its factory default state (no IP information entered.) After the Print Server has an IP address, you must use the Telnet utility, the AppleTalk NIManage utility for the Mac- intosh, or the Print Server Card HTML management pages accessed through the MAP utility or a Web Browser to change an IP address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway.

7.5.1.1 Using BOOTP

The BOOTP daemon is a native TCP/IP option for conﬁguring the IP address of a diskless network device. To communicate the IP address, use the following procedure:

1. Turn off the printer.

2. Log in as superuser on a host on the same subnet as the print server. However, if

the server resides on another subnet, complete this procedure to store the IP address in the print server. Reconnect the print server anywhere on the network, and then use Telnet or the HTML pages accessed by MAP or a Web Browser util- ity to change the IP address. See 7.6 Running Telnet, for instructions on using Tel- net.

3. Find the Ethernet address of the Print Server Card. The address is printed on the

conﬁguration status report each time you turn the printer on.

4. Edit the hosts ﬁle (usually /etc/hosts) or use NIS or DIS to add the IP address and

Print Server Card's node name. See the network administrator for the IP address. For example, a Print Server Card named printfast with an IP address of

192.9.200.200 has the following entry:

192.9.200.200 printfast

5. Stop the BOOTP daemon if it is running.

6. Edit the /etc/BOOTP tab ﬁle and add the following information:

nic_host:\ :ht = hardware type:\ :ha = ethernet address:\ :ip = IP address:\ :sm = subnet mask:\ :gw = gateway address:

TCP/IP Conﬁguration-19

For example, for an RFC 1048 system:

printfast:\ :ht = ether:\ :ha = 0040AF03AF6E:\ :ip = 192.9.200.200:\ :sm = 255.0.0.0:\ :gw = 192.9.200.10:\

If running with a more recent BOOTP implementation, such as with SCO UNIX, add:

:vm = rfc1048:

Note: The :ht = ether command should be used ev en if working with a Token Ring NIC

card.

The same information uses the following format on an RFC 951 system:

host htype haddr iaddr bootﬁle

printfast 1 00:40:af:03:af:6e 192.9.200.200 defaultboot

7. Start the BOOTP daemon by typing:

bootpd -s

8. Check the printer to verify that the Print Server Card is connected to the network.

Turn on the printer.

9. Wait until the printer powers up and ﬁnishes initializing to allow enough time for

the IP address to become known and to be saved in non-volatile memory. The Print Server Card should reinitialize itself.

10. After the Print Server Card has reinitialized, send a ping command to verify that

the print server obtained its IP address. For example:

ping 192.9.200.200

If the print server has the address, the result is a confirmation message:

192.9.200.200 is alive

11. Remove, or comment out, your changes to the /etc/BOOTP tab ﬁle.

12. Stop the BOOTP daemon and, if you want it to run, restart it.

TCP/IP Conﬁguration-20

7.5.1.2 Using rarp

The Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (rarp) allows network devices to query a server for their IP addresses on start-up. For this procedure, there needs to be a workstation with a rarp server. To store the IP address, use the following procedure:

1. Turn off the printer.

2. Log in as superuser on the rarp server. However, if the server resides on another

subnet, complete this procedure to store the IP address in the print server. Reconnect the print server anywhere on the network, and then use the Telnet or the HTML pages accessed by MAP or a Web Browser to adjust the IP parameters for the subnet on which the Print Server Card is to operate.

3. Find the Ethernet address of the Print Server Card. The address is printed on the

conﬁguration status report when you power on the printer.

4. Edit the hosts ﬁle (usually /etc/hosts) or use NIS or DIS to add the IP Address and

Print Server Card's node name. See the network administrator for the IP address. For example, a print server with the name of printfast has the following entry:

192.9.200.200 printfast

5. Edit the /etc/ethers ﬁle or use NIS or DIS to add the Ethernet address. To continue

the example, for the printfast card with an Ethernet address of 00:40:c8:00:00:ff, make the following entry:

0:40:c8:0:0:ff printfast

6. If the rarp daemon is running, stop it and restart it. Verify that the daemon is run-

ning.

7. Check the printer to see that the print server is connected to the network. Turn on

the printer.

8. Wait until the printer powers up and ﬁnishes initializing to allow enough time for

the IP address to become known and to be saved in non-volatile memory. The Print Server Card should then reset itself.

9. After the Print Server Card has reset, send a ping command to verify that the print

server obtained its IP address. For example:

If the print server has the address, the result is a conﬁrmation message:

TCP/IP Conﬁguration-21

ping 192.9.200.200

192.9.200.200 is alive

10. Remove, or comment out, your changes to the /etc/ethers ﬁle.

11. Stop the rarp daemon and, if you want it to run, restart it.

7.5.1.3 Using ping

Use the following procedure to enter the IP Address:

1. Turn off the printer.

2. Log in as superuser on a host on the same subnet as the print server. However, if

3. Find the Ethernet address of the Print Server Card. The address is printed on the

conﬁguration status report each time you turn the printer on.

4. Edit the hosts ﬁle (usually /etc/hosts) or use NIS or DIS to add the IP address and

print server's node name. See the network administrator for the IP address. For example, a print server with a name of printfast and an IP address of

192.9.200.200 has the following entry:

192.9.200.200 printfast

5. Add an entry to the arp cache for the Print Server's IP address and Ethernet

address. For example:

6. Check the printer to see that the Print Server is connected to the network. Turn on

the printer.

7. Send a ping command to the Print Server Card to verify it is running on the net-

work. For example:

The Print Server Card will not respond to this ping command but it will read its IP address from the packets.

8. Turn the printer off and back on again and then send the ping command again to

verify that the print server obtained its IP address. If the Print Server has the address, the result is a conﬁrmation message:

TCP/IP Conﬁguration-22

arp -s 192.9.200.200 0:40:c8:0:0:ff

ping 192.9.200.200 or ping printfast

192.9.200.200 is alive

9. Remove the entry from the arp cache using the following command. Specify the

Print Server either by its IP address or by its name. For example:

arp -d printfast

7.5.2

lpd/lpr

lpd/lpr is an implementation of the standard UNIX line printer daemon which lets you print across a TCP/IP network without the need to install software on your workstation with all ﬁltering and banners done by Print Server Card. Remote printing uses the same commands (lpr, lpq, lpc) as local printing.

The process begins when the lpr call ﬁnds a printer on a remote system by looking at the remote (rm) entry in the /etc/printcap ﬁle for that printer. lpr handles a print job for a remote printer by opening a connection with the lpd/lpr process on the remote system and sending the data ﬁle (followed by the control ﬁle containing control information for this job) to the remote system. The printer-based lpd then ﬁlters the data and prints the job according to information contained in the control ﬁle and its own printcap ﬁle.

Print Server Card lpd recognizes the format of a certain printer emulations and ﬁlters the data, if possible, so it can be printed on the printer type you specify. You can indicate to the Print Server Card lpd what type of printer is attached to by either:

1. Accepting the default port setting (PCL, PostScript and other), or

2. Changing the listed emulations via the Telnet or the HTML pages accessed by

7.5.2.1 Setting Up a BSD Remote Printer to Use

T o set up a remote printer on the host that sends jobs to Print Serv er Card using printer resident lpd, add an entry to the /etc/printcap ﬁle on your host for each printer you use. The steps are described on the next page.

TCP/IP Conﬁguration-23

lpd/lpr

1. Open the /etc/printcap ﬁle. Make an entry naming the Print Server Card as the

remote host and PORT1 as the remote printer name. A typical printcap entry is shown below:

<printer_name>\

(for example, lprprinter)

:lp=:\ :rm=<remote_host>:\

(for example, name as entered in /etc/hosts)

:rp=PORT1:\ :sd=/usr/spool/lpd/<printer_name>:

(for example, spool directory on system used to spool data and control ﬁles)

This entry will send jobs spooled at /usr/spool/lpd/<printer_name> to the printer designated <printer_name> to be printed at port 1 (the internal connection to the printer) of the Print Server Card designated as <remote_host>.

2. Create the spooling directory. For example, type:

mkdir /usr/spool/lpd/<printer_name>

3. To print via the spooler, use the lpr command. Type:

lpr-P <printer_name>< file_name>

Installation and testing is done. You are now ready to print.

7.5.2.2 Setting Up an AIX Version 2.5 Remote Printer to Use

7.5.3 Installing TCP/IP for Print Server Card If Not Running

The TCP/IP diskette provided with the Print Server Card includes install scripts for various UNIX systems. This section describes how to install TCP/IP printing to the Print Server Card on any of the following operating systems:

• DEC ULTRIX 4.3 RISC

• System V Rel. 4

• Solaris (Ver. 1.x, 2.x)

• SCO UNIX

• OSF1/ALPHA

• IBM AIX

• HP/UX Once the Print Server Card has its IP information loaded, the following steps are nec-

essary for Host-Side TCP/IP printing:

1. Load the print server software on your workstation. It is presented as a tar ﬁle on

the TCP/IP diskette.

2. Run the appropriate installation script, if available.

3. Complete the conﬁguration for your operating system.

lpd/lpr

7.5.3.1 Loading the Software

The following procedures are only necessary when using the supplied host-based lpr capability. Loading the software is not necessary if printer-based lpr is used.

1. Log in as superuser to the system that spools directly to the print server.

2. Insert the print server's TCP/IP diskette in the host drive.

3. Go to or create the directory in which you want to install the software. For

example:

Note: If you already have a Print Serv er Card printer at your site and you are no w install-

ing another one, delete the ﬁles in the installation directory (not /usr/nic). If these ﬁles remain, they can prevent the installation of a subsequent print server.

4. Use the tar command to load the software from the diskette. Choose your UNIX

version from the example from the following table, or if not shown, consult the man page for your system:

TCP/IP Conﬁguration-30

mkdir /usr/PSC_install

UNIX V ersion Example

BSD/UL TRIX/AIX/

tar -xvf/dev/rfd0

SCO System V tar -xvf/dev/rdsk/f13ht System V/Solaris 2.3 tar -xvf/dev/rdiskette

Note: The device name varies depending on the computer and its peripheral designa-

tions. The ﬁrst BSD ﬂoppy device is often called rfd0.

5. After performing the tar, the system will display a list of Print Server Card ﬁles

copied by the tar. At this point, go to the speciﬁc section for your system for instructions on running the installation script.

7.5.3.2 Script Selection of Filters

There will be certain options in executing the script for various systems. One of the questions posed by the install script is whether the printer is a PostScript

printer. If you answered no to this question, the install script uses an input ﬁlter (inﬁlter) that supplies CR/LF translation to print ASCII ﬁles on a PCL printer. If you answered yes to this question, your printcap ﬁle will reference psﬁlter which offers easy ASCII-to-PostScript conversion. Normal PostScript format ﬁles are not affected. Proprietary and public domain ﬁlters are available for broader ﬁltering capabilities.

7.5.3.3 Manual Selection of Filters

The Print Server Card ships with an input ﬁlter called psﬁlter and an output ﬁlter called psbanner to print PostScript banners.

You may wish to change inﬁlter or outﬁlter entries in the /etc/printcap ﬁle. The following is a sample printcap entry using these ﬁlters:

<print_name> | Print Server Card printer:\ :lp=/dev/nic/<printer_name>:\ :if=/usr/nic/psfilter:\ :of=/usr/nic/psbanner:\ :sd=/usr/spool/<printer_name>:

TCP/IP Conﬁguration-31

7.5.3.4 Installing and Printing on Ver. 1 Solaris and OSF1 Systems

1. Run the Installation script by typing: nicinst.

The script automatically downloads the correct Print Server Card utilities for your particular system and prompts you for information as needed.

2. What is the node name of the Print Server unit?

Type the node name entered in /etc/hosts. For example: printfast and press [Enter].

3. What is the printer name?

Type the desired printer name and press [Enter].

4. Your screen will now display the information you provided to the install script.

For example:

Node name of the Print Server Card: printfast Printer name to be used: <printer_name> The printer is attached on: PORT 1

You are asked to OK this conﬁguration. Type yes or no and press [Enter].

5. Is this printer PostScript?

Type yes or no and press [Enter].

6. The script creates a printcap entry for the printer just conﬁgured. The screen dis-

plays the entry and asks if you want the script to append it to your /etc/printcap ﬁle. See below for a sample printcap ﬁle. Type yes or no and press Enter. If you type no, you may perform manual edits.

In your /etc/printcap ﬁle, be sure not to change the name of the device giv en Print Server Card in Step 2. You must reference the same :lp entry you wrote on the lp command line of the printcap ﬁle. For example:

<printer_name> | Print Server Card printer:\ :lp=/dev/<printer_name>:\ :if=/usr/nic/infilter:\ :sd=/usr/spool/<printer_name>:

All printcap entries must be prefaced with a tab except for the entry on the first line.

TCP/IP Conﬁguration-32

7. The script creates a spool directory in /usr/spool and starts the daemon for the

newly conﬁgured printer. It also displays the path used if you ever need to restart the daemon. For example:

/usr/nic/lpr_print /dev/nic/<printer_name> printfast 10001 &

8. Run the ps command so that you can view all your lpd/lpr processes.

Type: ps -ax | grep lpd

9. Kill all of your lpd/lpr processes. Type: kill -9 <Process ID> (this will stop ALL

printing).

10. Restart the daemon.

Type: /usr/lib/lpd

11. Installation for the system is done. You are prompted to conﬁgure any more print-

ers.

Type yes or no and press [Enter]. We also suggest you ping the Print Server Card to test communications.

7.5.3.5 Installing & Printing on an DEC ULTRIX 4.3 System

1. Run the Installation script by typing: nicinst.

The script automatically downloads the correct Print Server Card utilities for your particular system and prompts you for information as needed.

2. What is the node name of the Print Server unit?

Type the node name entered in /etc/hosts. For example, printfast and press [Enter].

3. What is the printer name?

Type the desired printer name and press Enter.

4. Your screen will now display the information you provided to the install script.

For example:

Node name of the Print Server Card: printfast Printer name to be used: <printer_name> The printer is attached on: PORT 1 You are asked to OK this configuration. Type yes or no and press [Enter].

5. Is this printer PostScript?

Type yes or no and press [Enter].

TCP/IP Conﬁguration-33

6. The script creates a printcap entry for the printer just conﬁgured. The screen dis-

plays the entry and asks if you want the script to append it to your /etc/printcap ﬁle. See below for a sample printcap ﬁle. Type yes or no and press [Enter]. If you type no, you may perform manual edits.

<printer_name> | Print Server Card printer:\ :lp=/dev/<printer_name>:\ :if=/usr/nic/infilter:\ :sd=/usr/spool/<printer_name>:

7. Installation for the system is done. The program prompts you to conﬁgure any

more printers. Type yes or no and press [Enter]. We suggest pinging the Print Server Card to test communications.

Like all BSD systems, ULTRIX uses the /etc/printcap ﬁle to conﬁgure a printer. The interface to the installation script is the same for all BSD systems, however, the printcap entry is different.

If you use the printcap entry generated automatically by the installation script, this will be transparent to you.

7.5.3.6 Installing and Printing on the HP/UX System

1. Run the Installation script by typing: nicinst.

The script automatically downloads the correct Print Server Card utilities for your particular system and prompts you for information as needed.

2. What is the node name of the Print Server unit?

Type the node name entered in /etc/hosts. For example,

printfast and press [Enter].

3. What is the printer name?

Type the desired printer name and press [Enter]. Your screen will now display the information you provided to the install script. For example:

Node name of the Print Server Card: printfast Printer name to be used: <printer_name> The printer is attached on: PORT 1

You are asked to OK this conﬁguration. Type yes or no and press [Enter].

4. The script starts the daemon for the newly conﬁgured printer automatically . It also

displays the path used should you ever need to restart the daemon. In the following example, the path would be:

TCP/IP Conﬁguration-34

/usr/nic/lpr_print /dev/nic/printer_name printfast 10001 &

This example reﬂects names supplied to the script earlier. When the installation script is complete, you must conﬁgure the printer and make it

known to the lp system. The HP/UX lp system uses the lpadmin maintenance command to conﬁgure a printer (there is not a /etc/printcap ﬁle). The speciﬁc commands to do this are:

lpadmin -p printer_name -v /dev/nic/printer_name enable printer_name accept printer_name

You can also use other options for the lpadmin command. See your system documentation for details.

Note: The printer name must be the same as the one you entered during the Print Server

Card installation. HP supplies the sam program as an alternative to conﬁgure the printer.

When using sam, specify everything as if the printer were directly connected to /dev/ lprprinter/printer_name.

The software installed with your HP system can satisfy most of your printing needs. HP supplies ASCII-to-PostScript ﬁlters and the system will in v oke them automatically if you deﬁne the content type of the printer as PostScript. The HP/UX lp system also supplies interface scripts that produce PostScript banners. Use the lpﬁlter command to deﬁne new ﬁlters and content types if necessary. The full power and ﬂexibility of the lp print service is now available to you. The fact that you are printing across the network is completely transparent.

7.5.3.7 Installing and Printing on a System V (Solaris Ver. 2)/System V Rel. 4 386-based Machine

Installation and setup is exactly the same for System V Solaris and SVR4 i386-based machines. Solution uses a network direct ﬁlter called nicﬁlter. The system invokes nicﬁlter directly from the printer interface ﬁle. To load the software, create a /usr/nic directory and tar the TCP/IP diskette to it.

1. Go to the /usr/nic directory by entering the following:

2. Run the Installation script by typing: nicinst.

TCP/IP Conﬁguration-35

cd /usr/nic

Once the operating system has been identiﬁed, the script downloads the ﬁles for your particular system, to the /usr/nic directory, and prompts you for information as needed.

3. Type cd /usr/spool/lp/model/standard/usr/nic/port1_interface

Note: Use of this default interface in most cases will sufﬁce for generic or routine print-

ing of most PostScript, PCL, and ASCII ﬁles. In order to utilize a printer speciﬁc inter face other than the default interface script (named standard), you must have a copy of that printer interface edited and installed in the /usr/nic directory.

Next, you will need to edit the printer interface program you created in step 3.

4. Type: cd /usr/nic and using a text editor, open and edit the port1_interface ﬁle.

5. Search on FILTER=0 and insert the following line above or below the # FILTER=0${LPCAT} section of the ﬁle. Remark out (using the # sign) any other FILTER entries present in this section of the ﬁle.

FILTER="/usr/nic/infilter| /usr/nic/nicfilter printer server name 10001"

Note: The <print server name> must be the same as the one present in the /etc/hosts ﬁle.

Optional arguments to be inserted after the 10001 entry and before the trailing 0 are ${banner}, ${user_name}, ${request_ID}, and ${ﬁles}. For further explanation of these and the statement above, refer to the System 5 Release 4 System Administration

Manual.

6. Save the ﬁle and close the editor.

You need to configure the host-side printer using lpadmin.

7. Type the following:

lpadmin -p <printer name> -v /dev/null -i /usr/nic/ port1_interface

Note: lpadmin conﬁgures the printer name and associates it with a given device and

printer interface program. There is no /etc/printcap ﬁle involved with this method of conﬁguration.

Next, you need to initialize the printer

TCP/IP Conﬁguration-36

8. Type the following commands:

accept <printer name> and press [Enter]. enable <printer name> and press [Enter].

Note: After each entry, lpadmin should provide an acknowledgment of the command

invoked.

9. Type the command:

lp -d <printer name> /etc/hosts, and press [Enter].

10. Check for output, or type the following:

lpstat <printer name> or -t.

7.5.3.8 Installing & Printing on a SCO UNIX System

Installation and setup is similar for HP/UX and SCO UNIX systems. The Print Server Card solution uses a network direct ﬁlter called nicﬁlter . The system invokes nicﬁlter directly from the printer interface ﬁle.

After completing software download in Section 7.4.3.1 Loading the Software, you must conﬁgure the printer and make it known to the lp system. Follo w the steps belo w:

1. Run the Installation script by typing: nicinst.

The script automatically downloads the correct Print Server Card utilities for your particular system and prompts you for information as needed.

2. Select your system. Choose one from these options:

1) AT&T/SVR4; 386

2) SCO UNIX System V

3) None of the above Type 1, 2, or 3 and press [Enter].

3. What is the node name of the Print Server Card? Type the name assigned in the /etc/hosts ﬁle and press [Enter]. For example, printfast

4. What is the printer name for this Print Server Card-linked printer?

Type a printer name and press [Enter].

TCP/IP Conﬁguration-37

5. Your screen will now display the information you provided the install script. For example:

Node name of the Print Server Card: printfast Printer name to be used: <printer_name> The printer is attached on: PORT 1 Do you want to accept this configuration? Type yes or no and press [Enter].

6. Is this printer PostScript?

Type yes or no and press [Enter].

7. The script automatically starts the daemon for the newly conﬁgured printer . It also displays the path used should you ever need to restart the daemon. In the preceding example, the path would be:

/usr/nic/lpr_print /dev/nic/printer_name printfast 10001 &

This example reﬂects names supplied in the script earlier. When the installation script is complete, you must still conﬁgure the printer and make

it known to the lp system. The SCO UNIX lp system uses the lpadmin maintenance command to conﬁgure a

printer (there is no /etc/printcap ﬁle). The speciﬁc commands to do this are:

lpadmin -p printer_name -v /dev/nic/printer_name

Note: Your host may require you to specify the model by using the -i command.

enable printer_name accept printer_name

You can also use other options for the lpadmin command. See your system documentation for details. Note that the printer name must be the same as the one you entered during Print Server Card installation. SCO supplies the sam program as an alternative to conﬁgure the printer.

When using sam, specify everything as if the printer were directly connected to /dev/ nic/printer_name.

The software installed with your SCO system can satisfy most of your printing needs. SCO supplies ASCII-to-PostScript ﬁlters and the system will invoke them automatically if you deﬁne the content type of the printer as PostScript. The SCO UNIX lp system also supplies interface scripts that produce PostScript banners. Use the lpﬁlter

TCP/IP Conﬁguration-38

command to deﬁne new ﬁlters and content types if necessary. The full power and ﬂexibility of the lp print service is now apparent. Your printing across the network is completely transparent.

7.5.3.9 Installing and Printing on an AIX RISC System/6000

The AIX printing subsystem is driven by the qdaemon program. The qdaemon uses conﬁguration information stored in the /usr/lpd/qconﬁg ﬁle to manage queues and route jobs to the proper devices. This information includes entries for each virtual printer and physical device known to the system.

An AIX virtual printer is simply a high level software view of a data stream, queue, and device that controls how a given job will be processed. A different virtual printer should be deﬁned for each data stream that a real printer supports. For example, you would use different virtual printers for PostScript and PCL jobs even though they are destined for the same physical printer.

Conﬁguring a Print Server Card printer on an AIX system approximates conﬁguration of a local printer as closely as possible. The only difference is that the physical de vice associated with your Print Server Card printer must be a named pipe used by the print daemon to route data to Print Server Card. The most straightforward way to add a printer to your system is:

1. Run the Install script by typing: nicinst.

The script automatically downloads the correct Print Server Card utilities for your particular system and prompts you for information as needed.

2. What is the node name of the Print Server unit?

Type the node name entered in /etc/hosts, for example: printfast and press [Enter].

3. What is the printer name?

Type the desired printer name and press [Enter].

4. Your screen will now display the information you provided to the install script. For example:

Node name of the Print Server Card: printfast Printer name to be used: <printer_name> The printer is attached on: PORT 1 You are asked to OK this configuration. Type yes or no and press [Enter].

TCP/IP Conﬁguration-39

5. Conﬁgure a virtual printer using printer_name as the physical device, where printer_name is the same printer name chosen during install.

6. Shut down the qdaemon using the command

stopsrc -s qdaemon

7. Edit /usr/lpd/qconﬁg to change the special ﬁle for device printer_name from /dev/ printer_name to /dev/nic/printer_name.

8. Restart the daemon with:

startsrc -s daemon

The installation script then will create the named pipe and start the supplied print daemon using the printer name and Print Server Card information you supplied. Since the AIX System Management Interface Tool (SMIT) will not accept a named pipe as a printer device, the installation script also creates a null character device in /dev/ printer_name.

7.5.3.9.1 Virtual Printer Commands

Virtual printers can be added either through SMIT or through the mkvirprt command, entering the device name printer_name for conﬁguration purposes. During this process you also select a particular printer type for the new printer, which inherits the set of predeﬁned attributes for that printer type. In most cases, this set of attributes will be sufﬁcient, but it can be changed either through SMIT or by using the chvirprt command. If you need more extensive changes on your printer, see the AIX RISC System/ 6000 documentation for assistance. After the virtual printer has been added, there will be a stanza in /usr/lpd/qconﬁg for device printer_name that looks like the following:

printer_name: file=/dev/printer_name backend=/usr/lpd/piobe

Edit /usr/qconﬁg and change ﬁle=/dev/printer_name to ﬁle=/dev/nic/printer_name. Output spooled on the virtual printer as deﬁned above, will now be sent to the named

pipe and routed to Print Server Card. Before you edit the ﬁles above, be sure that the following daemon is running:

/usr/nic/lpr_print /dev/nic/printer_name printfast 10001 &

TCP/IP Conﬁguration-40

7.5.3.9.2 AIX Print Commands

The AIX lp command works slightly differently than the lp command for other System V Release 4 systems. The following lp commands can be used to print ﬁles:

7.6 Running Telnet

The Telnet utility uses the standard remote terminal protocol to conﬁgure the IP address, lpd/lpr printers, and other parameters on your system. Use the following guidelines to run Telnet. You have the same functionality with the HTML pages accessed by MAP or a Web Browser, as described in Chapter 3.

• Most often, you make selections from menus by toggling between one choice or another, by selecting/deselecting or enabling/disabling an item.

• Press Enter, when not selecting an item. This will return you to a previous menu.

• If you do not make a menu selection for 2 minutes, you get a "Two Minute Warn- ing" that within 2 more minutes your Telnet session will end. This ensures that one user does not leave a session idle for too long.

7.6.1 Making Connection and Main Menu

1. At the prompt, type:

telnet <network interface card IP address>

2. When login: appears, type guest if you are only interested in browsing the menus or sysadm if you want to change the conﬁguration. Press Enter . When passwor d: appears, again type guest or sysadm and press Enter.

4. To end your Telnet session, type E at the Main Menu. If you have made any changes you are prompted to either Save Changes and Exit or Exit W ithout Saving Changes. Choose your option and press Enter.

Note: Press ? to access the Telnet help utility.

7.6.2 Conﬁgure IP Parameters

Although the Print Server Card must have an IP address before a Telnet Connection can be made, you can use the utility to change the address or the other IP parameters. The Print Server Card will automatically initiate a soft reset when the IP address change is sensed.

Note: This will cause the Telnet connection to be broken. It is advisable to make all other

desired changes before changing the IP address.

1. At the Main Menu, type 1 and press Enter to bring up the IP Parameters menu (shown on the next page).

TCP/IP Conﬁguration-42

2. Type 1 again and press [Enter]. The IP Address submenu will appear:

The Conﬁguration Utility Unit Serial no. 221963

1. IP Address 199.92.187.37

2. Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0

3. Default Gateway 199.92.187.254

4. Base Port Number 10000

3. Enter a new IP Address and press Enter. Repeat the previous steps to change Subnet Mask and Default Gateways.

4. Enter 4 to change the base port number.

Note: The base port number is one less than the actual TCP/IP port number used by the

printer. For example, to set the port number to 9100, enter 9099.

7.6.3 Select Printer Languages

Selection 2 in the Main Menu allows you to designate which emulations (printer interpreter languages) the printer supports. This is to allow the resident lpd/lpr to modify ﬁles intended for other emulations so that they may be printed. The menu also allows you to enable or disable banners attached to lpd/lpr handled jobs.

The emulation choices are Printer Control Language (PCL), PostScript (PS), ASCII (simple text) and Other (any print job not recognized as PCL, PS, or ASCII). The ﬁle modiﬁcations and conditions are:

Print Server Setup Job Detected to be Action

PCL, (PostScript) ASCII <CR> changed to <CR><LF> PostScript PCL, Other PostScript header added not PostScript PostScript Job discarded PostScript ASCII PostScript header added, <CR>

PCL, PS, ASCII any no action

changed to <CR><LF>

1. To access the LPD Printers menu, type 2 and press Enter. For a unit at factory default, the menu shown below will appear.

LPD Printers

1. Printer 1 PCL PS OTHER

2. Banners DISABLED

2. T o change the set of emulations, type 1 and press Enter. The options shown below will appear.

Printer 1 PCL PS OTHER

1. PCL

2. PS

3. ASCII

4. OTHER

3. To delete an emulation, select the number opposite the language listed. For example, type 1 and press Enter to delete PCL. Typing 1 again will again select PCL.

4. From the LPD Printers menu, press 2 to toggle Banners between Enabled/Disabled.

7.6.4 Enable/Disable Network Protocols

To enable network protocols, at the Main menu type 3 and press Enter. You are given the choice of disabling either NetW are or AppleTalk since both network

OSs are enabled by default. For example, to disable Appletalk, type 2 and press Enter.

7.6.5 Restore Factory Defaults

When it is necessary to restore factory defaults on your print server, choose 4 on the Main Menu and press Enter. All NVRAM stored parameters will be returned to their factory default values. The factory default values will not take effect until the Telnet program is exited, or, the unit is powered cycled.

7.6.6 Change Password

When you want to establish a new password, enter 5 from the Main menu. Type up to eight characters after the New Password query and press Enter. Retype the same char- acters at the Retype New Password query and press Enter. Use the Save Changes and Exit option. Once you have established your password using Change Password, the password sysadm will be rejected.

Note: There is a single maintenance access password to the Print Server Card. This pass-

word is used for both Telnet and HTML maintenance programs. This password may be changed from Telnet or from HTML (accessed either via MAP or Web Browser utility).

7.6.7 Exit Telnet

Use the following procedures to exit Telnet:

1. To end your Telnet session, type E at the main menu. If you have made any changes, the following menu will appear:
