Remote Console User’s Guideii

About Crown Consoles

A console is a terminal through which a user communicates with the printer. The console
feature on Crown printers allows users o r s ystem administrators to ac cess information, set
up printer configuration, or change printer configuration from a remote console.

For Crown printers supporti ng the re mote con sole featur e, the re mote con sole is a terminal
connected via TCP/IP Telnet. The console is a line-oriented display of 24 lines of 80
characters that provides printer status information, such as printer state, fonts installed,
and job status.

About This Manual

This manual provides information on the features and capabilities of the remote console.
The features and capabilities available through remote console vary depending on your
system setup and your printer options. This manual describes how to start a remote
console session and explains the remote console modes and commands.

Starting a Remote Console Session

Depending on your system and your network interface, yo u have one of th ree ways to st art
a remote console session.

$

If you have a CrownNe t interfac e card, s ee the ap propriat e chapter of the

Crown Book

,

which is included on a disk in your CrownNet shipment.

$

If you are not using CrownNet and are in a UNIX environment, use the Telnet proto­col described in this manual.

$

If you are not using CrownNet a nd are worki ng with a DECnet setu p, use the PS Exec­utive Series Utilities for VMS as de scribed in t his manual.

"#

Whether you use a VMS host through PS Executive for VMS or a
TCP/IP host with Telnet commands, r emote console works the same once you are in th e
session.

Starting a Telnet Session

With No Password Set

"#

Passwords can be set or changed only through the printer’s control panel. See your
printer user’s guide for more information on passwords.

To start a remote console session when no operator password is set, do the following:
Use the telnet command to connect to the printer. At the system prompt, type

telnet printername↵

replacing
assigned by the system administrator in the HOSTS file.) Once the console session is
opened, you can view the settings of the printer.

When opening a console session, messages like
the screen to show p rogr es s. When the connection is compl et e, a pr ompt with your printer
name and the current printer status appears. The messages you may see when opening a
console session vary according to your system protocol.

For example, if you are using a magicolor 6100 Print System, the screen looks similar to
the following:

With a Password Set

"#

Passwords can be set or changed only through the printer’s control panel. See your
printer user’s guide for more information on passwords.

If the operator password is enabled, you are prompted to enter it before y ou can use
remote console. The password is case-sensitive and can have up to 16 characters. If you
enter an invalid password, the connection to remote console closes automatically.

This example shows how a session is closed automatically when the wrong password is
used:

[b@venus, 40] telnet 6100↵
Trying 161.33.128.183 ...

You have now entered a remote console session. Now see “Remote Console Commands”
on page 10 for information on using remote console.

If You Cannot Start a Telnet Session

There are two situations where an attempt to start a Telnet session may fail:

1

The maximum number of remote con sol e sessions that can be open at the same time
has been reached.

The system allows a maximum number of remote console sessions to be open at the
same time. If this number is reached, the system rejects further requests for new con-

4

sole sessions. For most systems, the maximum number is nine, including local con­soles where applicable.

Wait until one of the nine sessions is available and try again.

2

The system is busy.

If a positive acknowledgment to a request for opening a remote console session is not
received by the daughterboard within a given time limit (which depends on the daugh­terboard and communication protocol being used), the daughterboard cancels the
request. This may occur when the system is very busy.

Try again when the system is not busy.

Starting a DECnet Session

To use remote console on a DECnet setup, do the following:

1

Have your system administrator install the PS Executive for VMS on your system.

2

Use the VMS utilities to connect to th e printer.

With your system running, go to the VMS prompt. Then, type the following:

RUN SYS$SYSTEM:QMS$PSEXEC↵

The first screen in PS Executive prompts you for the nodename of the printer.

$RUN SYS$SYSTEM:PSEXEC
What is the printer nodename

−>

3

Enter the nodename for the printer whose settings you want to view.

This name was assigned to the printer by the system administrator during client soft­ware installation. If you do not know the nodename, ask your administrator or use the
method appropriate to your environment.

$ In a Phase IV environment, type:

$ MC NCP SHOW KNOWN NODES↵

This command lists your accessible nodes.

$ In a Phase V environment, if you used the local name space configuration when

setting up the printer originally, check the text file sys$sys­root:[sysexe]decnet_loc_node_definitions.txt.

5

$ In a Phase V environment, if you used the distributed name space configuration

when setting up the printer originally, check with your system administrator for the
nodename.

You can view the settings of only one printer at a time. If you have other printers con­nected to the client, you must exit from PS Executive before viewing others.

Once you enter the nodename, the following PS Executive Main menu appears:

MAIN MENU

Start Remote Console Session
Show Printer Counters
Show Printer Location
Exit PS Executive
Use arrow keys and <RETURN> to select

"#

If you accidentally enter an invalid nodename or one that is valid but not for a printer
(such as another VAX node), various messages or prompts appear depending on what
was entered. Until you enter a correct nodename, you cannot open PS Executive to use
remote console.

4

Select Star t Remote Console Session at the top of the screen.

A Remote Console Session screen similar to the following appears.

When the connection to the printer is complete, a prompt with your printer name and
the current printer status, such as Idle or Spooling, appears. In this example, a

console closes automatically. Passwords can only be set or changed through the
printer’s control panel. See your printer user’s guide for more information on
passwords.

Message Display and Console Modes

The console can operate in several modes and can either have status displayed or not
displayed to the screen. The following sections describe these modes.

Local and Remote Consoles

The console is a simple, line-oriented display of 24 lines of 80 characters. To list the
available console commands, type? on the console keyboard.

Message Display Mode

The message display mode can be set to ei ther si lent or normal. The defau lt for di splay ing
status on a remote console is normal. When the message display mode is enabled and set
to normal, conditions that require user intervention appear on a local or remote console.
The TCP/IP Accounting/Reverse Channel messages (if available) are seen in normal
mode, but not in silent mode.

For example, status messages may indicate that paper is low, output bins are full, or a
paper jam has occur red. Stat us messag es are d isplayed each ti me the us er pres ses the Enter
key to ensure that they do not scroll off the screen. When the problem is cleared, the
following message displays:

Printer Ready

The printer reports any changes of the printer's status to a console. These changes include
the following:

1

Changes of printer status:

$

Starting a new job.

$

Paper jam, low toner, low paper.

$

System is idle or offline.

2

Error messages generated when printing a document.

You can choose to allow or disallow these messages to be displayed on the console by
setting the message display mode to silent or normal with the commands

normal

:

silent

and

7

$ silent

Set the console to silent mode. No message is displayed. In silent mode, pressing
Enter causes any outstanding message (like paper jam or low toner) to be echoed
to the screen.

$ normal

Set the console to normal mode to display all messages.

"#

The initial message display mode of a console session is different from product to
product.

With message display on, if a remote console session is active while a job is active on the
printer, the console screen displays

Console Mode

System users and the s ystem administrator use the con sole for different purposes. System
users use the console to check print job status, cancel print jobs, or check certain printer
configuration settings. (See “User/Offline Mode Commands” on page 11 for a list of
commands available to users.) The system administrator uses the console more
extensively for printer configuration and file system management. (See “Admin Mode
Commands” on page 12 for a list of the commands available to the administrator.

The console can operate in one of the following modes. The console prompt indicates
what mode the console is operati ng in.

Administrators can use the
admin mode to configure the printer. Only one console session can be in admin mode
at a time. This mode is indicated with the admin prompt:

−>

If the administrator password is enabled, you are prompted to enter it before you can
access admin mode. Usually this password is set by the system administrator through
the printer control panel using a security card or a security disk, depending on your
system. If you enter an invalid password, an

***Invalid password ***

message displays, and then the remote console prompt displays.

If the printer is idle when you enter the admin mode, the printer is automatically taken
offline and the prompt changes to

commands.

Using Remote Console

Whether you use a VMS host through the PS Executive for VMS or a TCP/IP host with
Telnet commands, Remote Console works the same once you are in the session.
Depending upon how the system administrator sets up access privileges, password
security, and disk drives, some or all of the commands in the “Remote Console
Commands” section may be available for you to use.

"#

Options with an n parameter allow you to specify a job number. For example, if you
enter cancel without the parameter, all jobs in the queue are canceled. To cancel just
one job, replace the n with the job numbe r.

Also, the following commands are available in the admin mode only if the printer you
are using has a disk drive: cd, copy, cp, del, rem, format, ls, dir, pwd, rename, and mv.
