OKI OkiLAN 6020e User’s Guide
Section 2 - Chapter 1 - SNMP
Chapter 1 Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
Overview
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) provides network administrators with the ability to communicate management functions between an SNMP manager and an SNMP agent. An SNMP manager is a user program the network administrator can use to manage SNMP agents. The manager can retrieve Get information from the agent or alter Set information on the agent. An agent can also send an unsolicited message Trap to a manager when it encounters an unusual condition.
The OkiLAN 6020e is a fully functional SNMP agent and supports any standard SNMP management platform, including:
• HP OpenView
• Novell NMS
• Sun SunNet Manager
• IBM NetView
Advanced Management
Private MIB
OkiLAN 6020e SNMP support has been enhanced with a private MIB. It is accessible via SNMP over TCP/IP and IPX. This private MIB contains over 150 configuration and status variables for the network protocols, printer ports, network interfaceprinter settings, and the overall OkiLAN 6020e status. Printer status traps such as on-line, off-line, detached printer and printer error are also provided.
The setting of certain variables causes an immediate firmware reset. These variables are listed in the private MIB under cmdReset.
OKI OkiLAN 6020e User’s Guide
II - 3
Section 2 - Chapter 1 - SNMP
Note: If you attempt a reset while a job is printing, the job
may not print successfully .
Certain variables are critical, that is, they change a fundamental operating parameter of the OkiLAN 6020e. These variables are saved by the OkiLAN 6020e but are not actually used until it is power cycled or is reset. When any one of these variables is changed the variable genConfigDirty is automatically set to yes by the print server. This signifies a reset is required for all configuration changes to be made active. We recommend checking the genConfigDirty variable after using a MIB browser to make any configuration changes to the OkiLAN 6020e. If genConfigDirty is set to yes, then the cmdReset variable should also be set to yes. This will cause the OkiLAN 6020e to reset, make all configuration changes active on the OkiLAN 6020e and set both the cmdReset and genConfigDirty variables to no. These critical variables are listed in the private MIB under genConfigDirty.
T raps
Traps are unsolicited information from the SNMP agent. The OkiLAN 6020e uses a ColdStart trap to inform the manager it has been powered on or reset. An authentication failure trap is sent when the OkiLAN 6020e receives an SNMP trap GET or SET request with an incorrect community name.
The OkiLAN 6020e sends printer traps when there is a change in the status of the printer. If the Printer goes off-line, runs out of paper or is detached, the administrator will be notified via the OkiLAN 6020e traps over both UDP and IPX. Additionally, the OkiLAN 6020e can send traps on toner low, paper jam, and printer cover open, depending on the printer’s capabilities. The traps may be configured for specific destination addresses and can be configured for a particular printer port and/or printer trap.
II - 4
OKI OkiLAN 6020e User’s Guide
Section 2 - Chapter 1 - SNMP
In order to receive OkiNet Alert traps, the OkiLAN 6020e must have bi-directional status enabled (it is disabled by default). Extended Status can be enabled through the OkiLAN 6020e Configuration utility (telnet) from the Configure Port option. You can also enable OkiNet Alert through OkiNet for TCP/IP or IPX from the Output Port file tab.
Security
SNMP implements a simple security system known as community names. Each SNMP message has a community name associated with the command in the message. SNMP allows for a Set community name, Get community name and a Trap community name. When the SNMP Agent receives a command, it checks the community name of the message with the community name of the device. If the community names do not match, the Agent discards the message and sends an authentication failure trap.
Both the OkiNet for TCP/IP and the IPX, and the OkiLAN 6020e Configuration utility (telnet) allow you to specify the community names and a trap destination IP address.

Troubleshooting
Server Connection
• The print server only supports two simultaneous HTTP connections. If your browser fails to connect to the print server, the browser may be trying to open more than two connections. Please refer to your browser’s Help files for information on changing the connection settings. Both Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Explorer for the Macintosh and Power PC will sometimes display a failure to connect message after being configured for only two connections. Should this occur, select OK to bypass the error message. The menu page will still be displayed and configuration can be completed.
• Quickly refreshing a page within some browsers can cause the browser to leave active connections open with the server called a hung connection. This will use up one of the HTTP connections, can cause problems connecting to the server and will slow down Web response time. If TCP timeout checking is enabled under TCP/IP configuration, the hung connection will timeout after the timeout period has expired.
Advanced Management
Login
• If you forget the administrator password, restoring the TCP/IP protocol to factory defaults from any other configuration utility restores the Web admin name and password to default values.
Configuration
• Web browsers will generally cache previously viewed Web pages on the local machine. To view the most current print server information, it is a good idea to select the Reload or Refresh button on your browser instead of using the Back button.

OkiNet Alert
OKI OkiNet Alert enterprise management utility allows administrators to proactively manage printers by being immediately alerted to printing problems before they are encountered by users. This remote management utility can be configured to monitor all SNMP traps from a list of printers chosen by the administrator, without requiring HP OpenView. It runs in the background on any Windows-based PC and alerts the user with a sound or a screen flash when an error has occurred, and OkiNet Alert can be configured to respond only to the specific error conditions that are of concern to you. You can also launch batch files on given error conditions. OKI OkiNet Alert can be used in IPX and IP environments. Additionally, multiple traps can be sent to multiple destinations on the network.
Enhanced Printer Status
The OkiLAN 6020e communicates with the printer to monitor the current condition on the printer. This information can be observed in real time via the utilities or can be interpreted by the OkiLAN 6020e to generate traps to your SNMP management utility of choice: HP OpenView or the OKI OkiNet Alert utility.
For bi-directional capable printer the OkiLAN 6020e can retrieve the printer information, such as front panel message, and display it through the OkiNet utilities.

Windows Printing
From a W indows operating system, using TCP/IP or DLC protocols, the OkiNet Connect utility routes the print job to the appropriate printer without passing through a file server or print queue. This cuts down on network printing traffic. For more information, see the Windows Printing section of this manual.
Printer Security for TCP/IP Printing
The OkiLAN 6020e print server has a Printer Security for TCP/IP Printing feature which allows the printers
to only be accessed from a specified list of IP addresses. This feature is accessed via TELNET option #9, TCP Connection Configuration.

Refresh
The refresh rate defines how often the OkiNet for NetWare utility updates the main print server list. To define a refresh rate, select the Automatic Refresh box and then enter the refresh rate in the field provided. Decide how frequently to refresh the screen based on factors such as network traffic and desire for most recent information. For example, if traffic is not an issue on your network and the most current information is desired, set the refresh rate to 1 so the screen is updated every minute. If network traffic is an issue, you may wish to set the refresh rate to 10. This would update the screen every ten minutes and minimize network traffic.
Permanently Defining SNMP Access Information
Access to OkiLAN 6020e configuration and diagnostic information is determined by using community names. The Special Options window is used to permanently define access information so it does not need to be entered each time the OkiLAN 6020e is accessed. To Get and/or Set information on the OkiLAN 6020e through OkiNet for NetWare, community names used by the utility must match the community names assigned to the OkiLAN 6020e.
To configure the OkiNet for NetWare utility to use the correct community names, select Special Options from the File menu.
Serial/Network Numbers
This field displays the serial number of each OkiLAN 6020e or the network number for a network of OkiLAN 6020e products for which the OkiNet utility has defined access. To add a new serial number or network number to this list, select the Add button.

Chapter 3 OkiNet for NDS
Overview
OkiNet for NDS is a Dynamic Link Library (DLL) which allows users to create and manage OKI print server objects in the NDS tree. OkiNet for NDS integrates into Novell’s NetWare Administrator, a Windows-based utility that allows users to view and manage their NetWare 4.x NDS tree. Once OkiNet for NDS is integrated into NetWare Administrator, users can manage OKI devices with the same utility used to manage other network objects such as printers and queues.
The OkiLAN 6020e supports NetWare NDS using Novell Embedded Systems Technology, also known as NEST.
OkiNet for NDS can be installed to support Novell NetWare version 4.1 or 4.11 and for operating systems running Windows 3.x, Windows 95/98, and Windows NT/2000. If you have multiple versions of Windows operating systems to service, you can install OkiNet for NDS for each.
OkiNet for NDS supports four different versions of NWAdmin.
• OkiNet for NDS installation for NetWare version 4.1 (one version of NWAdmin) requires a single installation which will work for all platforms including Windows 3.x. Windows 95/98, and Windows NT/2000.
• The OkiNet for NDS installation for NetWare version 4.11 requires a separate installation for each of the three platforms: Windows 3.x, Windows 95/ 98, and Windows NT/2000 (three separate versions of NWAdmin).

Overview
This section contains instructions and information on how to configure your OkiLAN 6020e. You will also be instructed on how to set up your host computers to print to the OkiLAN 6020e using the TCP/IP protocol.
OkiLAN 6020e supports TCP/IP methods for printing:
• Remote Line Printer Daemon (LPD)
• File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
• Printing directly through a TCP port (Raw Port Printing)
Additionally, if the DHCP protocol is enabled as a default, the print server may be accessed through an ordinary Internet Web browser, such as Netscape Navigator, or by using TELNET. See Chapters 5 and 6 in this section.

• You should be familiar with network administration as well as the physical setup and operation of your network.
• Advise users of possible disruption during installation.
• Make sure the serial number and Ethernet address of your OkiLAN 6020e are available.
• Assign an IP address and a hostname (alias) to the OkiLAN 6020e.
Use the network name service or the “/etc/hosts” file to add the OkiLAN 6020e to the network.
Before You Start
Before running OkiNet for TCP/IP, you must do the following:
• Install the OkiLAN 6020e hardware and connect the cabling. Instructions for hardware installation are found in Section I of this manual.
• Write down the serial number and Ethernet address of your OkiLAN 6020e. (These numbers are located on the OkiLAN 6020e unit.)
• Install OkiNet for TCP/IP-see Section I.
Overview of TCP/IP Configuration
• Assign an IP address for the OkiLAN 6020e
• Configure the OkiLAN 6020e network information

Chapter 2 Configuring the OkiLAN 6020e
Choosing an IP Address
Every TCP/IP network device is required to have a unique IP address. The IP address can be permanently stored using one of the following:
• OKI OkiNet management utilities for TCP/IP, Novell NetWare or Banyan VINES (may apply to other OkiLAN print server models)
• OkiLAN 6020e Configuration utility via telnet.
Note: The OkiNet utilities are the easiest way to
assign an IP address.
Using factory default settings, the OkiLAN 6020e first attempts to determine its IP address (flashing rapid green) using DHCP, RARP, BOOTP or Gleaning. If the OkiLAN 6020e has not resolved its IP address after 2 minutes, it defaults to 198.102.102.254. (This IP address should be used only temporarily for configuration purposes.)
To choose an IP address:
1. Select an IP address and hostname for the OkiLAN 6020e.
Example: 192.168.42.50 OkiLAN 6020e_name
2. Add the name and IP address to the “/etc/hosts” file of each host that will access the OkiLAN 6020e. Or, if your network uses a name service, add the host name and IP address to the name server.
Most TCP/IP networks use the Network Information Service (NIS), Domain Name Service (DNS) or the “/ etc/hosts” database. See your network documentation for instructions.

Configuring the OkiLAN 6020e
There are four utilities available to configure the OkiLAN 6020e for TCP/IP printing. You may use whichever utility is best suited for your needs.
OkiNet for TCP/IP - Windows TCP/IP print manager utility. See Chapter 3 of this section for more information.
OkiLAN 6020e Configuration Utility - This utility is accessed via telnet. See Chapter 6 of this section for more information.
In order to configure the OkiLAN 6020e via telnet, you must first assign an IP address to the OkiLAN 6020e and verify communication by pinging the device.
OkiNet for NetWare - This windows utility must be run from a Novell NetWare client. See Section III of this manual for specific information.
OkiNet for VINES (VPMAN) Utility - This Windows utility must be run from a Banyan VINES client (may apply to other OkiLAN print server models).
Assigning the IP Address
There are eight different methods for assigning an IP address to the OkiLAN 6020e: Gleaning, Static Route Entry, DHCP, RARP, BOOTP and using the OkiNet or OkiNet for VINES utilities. Gleaning, Static Route Entry and RARP require the OkiLAN 6020e and the host to be on the same subnet. DHCP and BOOTP also have this restriction unless the network routers are configured to pass these requests. The OkiNet and OkiNet for VINES utilities (may apply to other OkiLAN print server models) do not have this restriction.

OKI OkiLAN 6020e User’s Guide
Section 4 - Chapter 2 - Configuring the OkiLAN 6020e
Gleaning
If an IP address has not been permanently assigned when the OkiLAN 6020e is powered on or reset, it will look for a ping packet on the network. If the OkiLAN 6020e receives a ping packet within two minutes, it will accept the IP address in the ping packet as its own address.
To use Gleaning, you must have Windows 95/98, Windows NT/2000, or super-user privileges on a UNIX system.
1. Add an entry in the ARP table that assigns an IP address to the hardware address of the OkiLAN 6020e. To do this, use the arp command.
arp -s <ip_address><hardware_address> temp
UNIX Example:
arp -s 192.168.42.24 00:02:16:00:00:01 temp
Windows 95/98, Windows NT/2000 Example:
arp -s 192.168.42.24 00-02-16-00-00-01
2. Start a continuous ping to the OkiLAN 6020e.
ping <ip_address>
Example: ping 192.168.42.24
On some systems, this may require an additional parameter. Some implementations of ping only send out one ping packet which could get lost in transit. Check your system documentation for more information.
3. Connect power to the OkiLAN 6020e.
The OkiLAN 6020e will glean its IP address from the ping packet. This IP address will remain in effect until the OkiLAN 6020e is powered off or reset. Therefore, a permanent IP address should be assigned by running the OkiNet for TCP/IP utility or via telnet.

Section 4 - Chapter 2 - Configuring the OkiLAN 6020e
DHCP
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provides a framework for passing configuration information to hosts on a TCP/IP network in a client/ server fashion. DHCP is based on the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP), adding the capability of automatic allocation of reusable network addresses and additional configuration options. DHCP uses the same packet structure as BOOTP so current BOOTP relay agents will also interact with DHCP messages.
DHCP offers dynamic IP address allocation. When a client receives an IP address, it also receives a lease (an amount of time the host may use the address). The lease times vary from 1 hour to 100 years, or may be infinite. When the lease expires, the host must stop using the address. DHCP may also be used like BOOTP, with a certain IP address always assigned to a certain device. Depending on the server, both methods may be used at the same time.
If the OkiLAN 6020e does not find a DHCP server after two minutes, it will timeout and assume a default address of 198.102.102.254. This follows current BOOTP and RARP behavior.
If the OkiLAN 6020e receives multiple responses, it will choose the first one.
When the OkiLAN 6020e receives an address, it sends an ARP message once every second for five seconds on the offered address to determine if another device is using it. If the OkiLAN 6020e finds another device is using the address, it will refuse the address and start looking for a new address.

Section 4 - Chapter 2 - Configuring the OkiLAN 6020e
Static Route Entry
When the OkiLAN 6020e is powered on or reset and no permanent IP address has been assigned, it will attempt to obtain an IP address through Gleaning, RARP, BOOTP or DHCP. If the OkiLAN 6020e has not determined its IP address after two minutes, the IP address will default to 198.102.102.254. This IP address should only be used temporarily to configure a new, permanent IP address. To change to a permanent IP address, the route add command is used to place the OkiLAN 6020e product’s default IP address into the workstation’s network routing table. To use the route command, you must have Windows 95/98, Windows NT/2000 or super-user privileges under UNIX. The syntax for this command is:
route add 198.102.102.254 “IP address of the workstation” 0
Note: The zero (0) placed at the end of the route add
command shown above is optional.
The Static Route method only works if the host from which you are telneting is on the same subnet as the OkiLAN 6020e. Once the route add command has been issued, telnet will allow you to change and/or make the IP address permanent. After changing the IP address to its permanent address, the routing table entry should be deleted using route delete.
For more information, consult your system documentation for the route command.
RARP or BOOTP
If an IP address has not been permanently assigned, the OkiLAN 6020e will use Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) or Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP). The OkiLAN 6020e will broadcast requests for its IP address to both RARP and BOOTP servers. A RARP or BOOTP server will respond by searching a configuration file that maps the Ethernet hardware addresses of devices on the network to their respective IP addresses. If a match is found, the server’s response will include the IP address of the device.

TCP/IP
Section 4 - Chapter 2 - Configuring the OkiLAN 6020e
Most UNIX operating systems support either the RARP or BOOTP protocol. To find out which protocol your operating system supports, request the manual page for the protocol’s daemon (e.g. man bootpd or man rarpd), or see your network manuals. Both protocols require that you add the product’s network hardware address and IP address to a configuration file. See your network documentation for instructions or refer to Appendix B, Application Considerations.
Note: An IP address received from a RARP or
BOOTP server is not permanently programmed into the OkiLAN 6020e. Therefore, if you choose this method of assigning the IP address, the RARP or BOOTP server must be available every time the OkiLAN 6020e is powered on or reset. The IP address can be stored permanently using telnet, OkiNet for TCP/IP, OkiNet for NetWare or the OkiNet for VINES utility (may apply to other OkiLAN print server models).
A Winsock compliant BOOTP server is located on the OkiNet for TCP/IP diskette. This has been provided for users who do not have UNIX machines.
Other Utilities
The IP address can also be set from Novell NetWare using the OkiNet for NetWare utility or through the Banyan VINES OkiNet for VINES utility (may apply to other OkiLAN print server models).
Note: The OkiNet for NetWare and OkiNet for
VINES utilities can only be used if Novell NetWare or Banyan VINES are installed on your network respectively (may apply to other OkiLAN print server models).

Verifying Access to the OkiLAN 6020e
Use the ping utility to verify access to the OkiLAN 6020e.
ping <IP address of OkiLAN 6020e>
If the OkiLAN 6020e does not respond, your network or the device is not configured correctly.
• Verify the IP address, default gateway and subnet mask are set to the proper values on the OkiLAN 6020e by printing a configuration sheet. This can be done using either the print configuration sheet button, through the OkiNet or OkiNet for VINES utilities (may apply to other OkiLAN print server models) or via telnet.
• If the settings appear to be correct, try repeating the installation steps. If problems persist, call Oki Data Customer Support at 1-800-OKI-DATA (1-800-654-

Overview
The OkiLAN 6020e supports printing from computers using TCP/IP and any of the following printing protocols:
• Line Printer Redirect/Line Printer Daemon (lpr/lpd)
• File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
• Printing directly through a TCP port (Raw Port Printing)
This chapter presents basic instructions on how to configure your computer to print using Remote LPD and FTP. Specific instructions for several popular computer systems have been documented in Appendix B, Application Considerations. If your specific system is not addressed in this appendix, follow the instructions outlined below. You should also refer to your operating system or computer manual for information about configuring remote network printing. If you are still unable to configure your computer system to print to the OkiLAN 6020e, contact Oki Data Customer Support at 1-800-OKI-DATA (1-800-654-3282).

OKI OkiLAN 6020e User’s Guide
Section 4 - Chapter 3 - TCP/IP Configuration and Printing
Configuring for TCP/IP Network Printing
Most computers that support TCP/IP network printing use the Remote Line Printer Daemon (LPD) protocol. This protocol was originally part of the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) version of the UNIX operating system. Remote LPD was quickly adopted as a de facto standard. As a result, Remote LPD is now supported by most versions of the UNIX operating system and by many TCP/IP packages available for other operating systems. Configuration of Remote LPD printing varies among vendors who supply TCP/IP.
You may also use the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) for printing. Typically FTP is used to transfer files between computers on a TCP/IP network. The OkiLAN 6020e simply prints the files it receives from FTP.
Remote Print Queue Name
The Remote Print Queue Name determines which printer port will service the print job. The Remote Print Queue Name may also be used to specify ASCII print jobs. Both Remote LPD and FTP have provisions for specifying a Remote Print Queue Name.
The OkiLAN 6020e looks at the last character of the Remote Print Queue Name to determine which printer port will service the print job. All Remote Print Queue Names should end with the number 1, 2, 3 or 4. If a number is not specified, the OkiLAN 6020e will use printer port 1.
The OkiLAN 6020e is designed to handle many different types of printers and print data. Typically you will select the printer type for your printer in telnet under the Configure Port option. However, if you are connecting to an ASCII printer, you may wish to use the OkiLAN 6020e to format the print data for your printer.
TCP/IP
OKI OkiLAN 6020e User’s Guide
IV - 15
Section 4 - Chapter 3 - TCP/IP Configuration and Printing
The OkiLAN 6020e will parse the remote queue name and search for certain characters at the end which tell how to convert an ASCII print job. The print server uses FF, LF and NF as ASCII conversion specifiers and uses the last number as an output port. The FF, LF and NF specifiers must be the last letters in the queue name.
Example: LaserWriterFF, SalesColorLaserNF, ChemDeptLF2
FF Use the FF suffix at the end of the Remote Print
Queue Name, before the port number.
Example: queueFF2
If the last character in the print job is not a form feed, the OkiLAN 6020e appends a form feed. This form feed prompts the printer to print any partial page at the end of the job.
LF Use the LF suffix at the end of the Remote Print
Queue Name, before the port number.
Example: queueLF2
In addition to the form feed described above, the OkiLAN 6020e inserts a carriage-return character into the print job immediately before each line-feed character. This feature is useful for printing UNIX text files.
NF Use the NF suffix at the end of the Remote Print
Queue Name, before the port number.
Example: queueNF2
The OkiLAN 6020e inserts a carriage-return character into the print job immediately before each line-feed character. This feature is useful for printing UNIX text files.
This option differs from LF in that form feed is not added to the end of jobs.

Section 4 - Chapter 3 - TCP/IP Configuration and Printing
Configuring a BSD-Style Print Queue
For remote BSD-Style LPD printing, add the OkiLAN 6020e as a remote printer in the “/etc/printcap” database to each host printing to the OkiLAN 6020e.
You can add PRINTCAP options as needed. If you are unfamiliar with PRINTCAP, consult your local documentation.
The entry should be similar to the following:
local_print_queue_name|[printer_model_and_
manufacturer]:\:lp=:mx#0:rm=OkiLAN 6020e_name:\:rp=remote_print_queue_name:\ :sd=path_to_spool_directory:lf=just log_file_name
local_print_queue_name
The local_print_queue_name defines the name of the printcap entry. It is used by the lpr/lpd utilities to specify which printcap entry is being referenced. Additional printcap entries can be added as needed for different queue types. Each entry must have a unique local_print_queue_name and a different spool directory to work properly. When you are ready to print, use the local_print_queue_name that matches the data type of the file to be printed.
OkiLAN 6020e_name
This is the name (alias) of the OkiLAN 6020e. This must be the same name as entered in the /etc/hosts file or your NIS or DNS system. An IP address may also be used here.
remote_print_queue_name
The remote_print_queue_name entry determines the OkiLAN 6020e port where the print job will be printed and optionally specifies ASCII printing.
path_to_spool_directory
This is the path to a directory where the print jobs will be spooled for this queue. You must create a unique spool directory for each printcap entry.
OKI OkiLAN 6020e User’s Guide
IV - 17
TCP/IP
Section 4 - Chapter 3 - TCP/IP Configuration and Printing
log_file_name
This is the path to a file where error information from the lpd will be logged.
Example: If you are printing to an ASCII printer that requires a carriage return/line feed, you may need two separate printcap entries: one entry for print jobs which terminate lines with a carriage return/line feed, and another entry for print jobs which terminate lines with a line feed only. Your printcap entries might look like the following:
ascii_files|form.feed.Queue_on_Port_2:\
:lp=:mx#0:rm=pserver1:rp=MYQUEUEFF2:\ :sd=/usr/spool/myqueueff2:\ :lf=/usr/spool/myqueueff2/queue.log
asciilf_files|line.feed.Queue_on_Port_2:\
:lp=:mx#0:rm=pserver1:rp=MYQUEUELF2:\ :sd=/usr/spool/myqueuelf2:\ :lf=/usr/spool/myqueuelf2/queue.log
Note: Each printcap entry must have a different spool
directory to work properly.
Remote LPD Printing
The way print jobs are queued to a Remote LPD system varies among the vendors that support TCP/IP. UNIX systems that are BSD-based typically use the lpr program to submit print jobs. Other UNIX systems may use the lp program to submit print jobs. PC-based TCP/ IP packages often provide a command line lpr program and a utility to redirect the output of an LPT port to a Remote LPD system.
Consult your system administrator or software vendor for assistance troubleshooting LPD.
