AppleTalk (EtherTalk)
LAT
LANDMANAGER
NETWARE
TCP/IP
Versatility: Allows Connects Multiple Serial Devices to Each Port in an Ethernet Network
Console Port: Enables Transmission of Diagnostic and Configuration Messages
Modes of Configuration:
Command Level from Terminal.
Network Signon (AppleTalk, NetWare, Telnet/Rlogin, TSM/NCP/LAT)
Automatic configuration with BOOTP and RARP capable devices
Configuration files from network hosts during power on
Flash ROM Options:
Flash ROM is used in Devices ETS8F16F and EPS4F12F
The devices without Flash ROM are uploaded with programming at boot.
Physical Interfaces:
Standard ports for serial connections
Ethernet AUI for 10BASE5, 10BASE2, FOIRL and 10BASE-T connections.
Functionality: Accepting multiple unsolicited incoming requests from different protocols while still able to send out print jobs
Diagnostic Checks: Self-test at the time of power on to ascertain the functionality and connectivity of the device.

What is the difference between ETS and EPS?
EPS acts the same as ETS but has a printer parallel port in addition to the computing device ports which are quite the same as EPS.
What protocols does the ETS/EPS support?
The device supports AppleTalk, LAT, LAN Manager, NetWare, and TCP/IP protocols.
How do I configure the ETS/EPS?
Configuration can be done through terminal connections to the console port, network logins or via BOOTP/RARP Auto Config.
What do I do if the unit does not power on?
Replace the power pack, check the connections to the unit and check that the fuse in the back of the server is not blown.
Can I use the ETS/EPS for printing?
Of course, it is possible to establish print requests with ETS/EPS systems which then connect Ethernet printers through its ports.
Is a Flash ROM necessary?
No, the Flash ROM units do not have to be loaded with their software from the host machine each time they are booted up, thus making them simple to handle. Non-Flash units bootstrap via software legitimate downloading.
What should I do if I receive diagnostic errors at power-up?
Verify that the terminal device is suitably configured, in this case, set up to meet these settings (9600,8,N,1). If problems are not solved consult technical support.
