Introduction
Xerox 4500 PS TR
1. Introduction to Xerox 4500 PS TR
The Xerox 4500 PS TR is basically viewed as a “Plug and Go” product in
terms of printing directly from Windows using NetBIOS/NetBEUI. To print
using one of the other protocols supported, a minimum configuration on
protocol level is required. This minimum configuration is system dependent
and no default value will apply. For details on minimum configuration on
protocol level, see the chapter: “Configuration of Xerox 4500 PS TR”.
Each unit is capable of supporting multiple print sessions at the same time,
each with its own resource environment. This ensures maximum use of
downloaded resources and minimises network traffic.
Direct host print
Native data:
PCL, ASCII,
Postscript
etc.
The Xerox 4500 PS TR is capable of printing AFP based documents as
well as native data. The Xerox 4500 PS TR - non IPDS offers support for
native and ICDS datastreams. The Xerox 4500 PS IPC offers support for
native, ICDS and IPDS datastreams.
Direct host print via TCP/IP
Support for direct AFP host print via the TCP/IP PPR/PPD bi-directional
protocol allows for direct printing control without the need for configuring
intermediate systems.The ICDS and IPDS modules allow the unit to
communicate directly with IBM mainframe and midrange systems using
the TCP/IP PPR/PPD (Page Printer Requester/Page Printer Daemon) bidirectional protocol.
LAN print
The Xerox 4500 PS TR is a remote device for the Token Ring
environment supporting the most widely used protocols in the LAN
environment. With its capability to handle different network protocols
simultaneously, the Xerox 4500 PS TR is ideal in a mixed environment. It
allows you to connect your printers anywhere in a Token Ring network
giving all network users access to shared printer resources.
Xerox 4500 PS TR output / print share
Although the Xerox 4500 PS TR does not have a spool function, it allows
several print sessions to be active simultaneously. This means that print
data can be received in “parallel” from various print applications .
To avoid print mixing , some sharing functions have been implemented.
See the chapter “Configuration of Xerox 4500 PS TR” for details.

1.1.3 NetBEUI/NetBios protocol
With support for the NetBeui/NetBios network protocols, the Xerox 4500 PS
TR enables printing from Microsoft (Windows 95 and NT) and IBM LAN
network (OS/2) environments using the SMB (Server Message Block) printer
protocol. As default the NetBEUI/NetBios protocol will be enabled and as such
is ready to print using the default values.
1.1.4 ida 802.2 protocol
Native data is sent via the LPT monitor program idaMON, and IPDS data
is sent via the IPDS redirecter program idaIPPC.
idaMON
idaMON is a background monitor program which communicates with the
Xerox 4500 PS TR on the Token Ring and with the configuration program
idaPMUTL redirecting LPT print to the Xerox 4500 PS TR.
idaIPPC
The idaIPPC is an OS/2 based redirecter included with the Xerox 4500 PS
TR kit which functions as a bridge between the Host and the Xerox 4500
PS TR.
For details on redirected printing, see the separate document included on
the diskette “Redirected SNA AFP Printing - Token Ring”.

When running in SNA IPDS mode, the Xerox 4500 PS TR will provide
support for LU1 IPDS.
The Xerox 4500 PS TR supports SNA IPDS printing via PU2/LU1. It is
installed and behaves as a network connected SNA PU2 cluster controller
with 1 printer attached. This can be equated to a PC with a single LU1
attached printer.
Xerox 4500 PS TR will emuate the IBM 4028, IBM 3116 or similar printers
running IPDS mode.

2.4 Share timeout
When Xerox 4500 PS TR operates as a print server for multiple
environments simultaneously, print corruption is avoided by excluding all
other printing as long as a print job is being printed. This is done via a
Share Timeout. The Share Timeout defines an idle time for switching
between printer sessions. As a default, the Share Timeout is set to 20
seconds, but this can be changed via the configuration file (See the
various configuration options for details ).
NOTE:
• • The Share Timeout must be set to a value which is less than the
printer’s internal printer share timer.
• • Native Share Strings:
No share string functionality is included in the Xerox 4500 PS TR
when printing non-IPDS data, so it is up to the application to
ensure the correct printer environment.
IPDS Share Strings
To ensure that the printer environment is corre ct for IPDS printing, share
strings can be programmed using the idaSetup (MakeITDS) Setup
program.
IPDS resources downloaded to the printer are del eted on share
boundaries and are therefore downloaded to the next print job (next
usage).
2.5 Network installation
1. Switch off the printer.
2. Connect the UTP cable to the network port on the PrintServer.
NOTE:
If you use the STP cable connection, you must use the cable
supplied with the kit to convert STP to UTP cabling.
3. Switch on the printer.
4. Test the Xerox 4500 PS TR (by pressing the TEST key).
24
Installation
Xerox 4500 PS TR
When IP address has been defined:
If the TCP/IP is enabled, the LAN LED will - if BOOTP parameter set to
YES - start to flash as the Xerox 4500 PS TR tries to contact a BOOTP
server. If no BOOTP server is available, the Xerox 4500 PS TR will use
defaults. If valid default values are found, the LAN LED will remain lit.
The printer and network installation is now complete. For advanced
configuration, see the chapter “Configuration of Xerox 4500 PS TR”.
2.6 Installing upgrade modules
This section provides installation guidelines for IPDS or FSL upgrade modules.
1. Disconnect all cables to the Xerox 4500 PS TR.
2. Loosen the thumbscrews and pull out the interface
3. Place the Xerox PS upgrade module (be it IPDS or FSL) on the 4
plastic spacers on the base module. Make sure that the pins on the
connector J(x) fits correctly.
4. Remount the interface into the printer and fasten the 2 thumbscrews
loosened in step 2.
5. Generate a settings printout to verify the installation of the upgrade
module.
The printer and network installation is now complete. For advanced
configuration, see the chapter “Configuration”.
FIRMWARE DOWNLOAD
Firmware download when the PrintServer is equipped with a top
module can be done easily via Psinst32. See this section for
details.

Configuration
Xerox 4500 PS TR
3. Configuration
This chapter describes how the PrintServer may be subject to a more
advanced configuration using the supported setup facilities (see below).
However, with a minimum configuration of the selected protocol, the
PrintServer is ready for operation. For details on operation based on default
settings, see below.
3.1 Introduction to configuration
When installing your PrintServer, first of all you must configure the
protocol needed in order for the system to be able to communicate with
your PrintServer.
Thus, you should ensure that the protocol you want to use for printing
has been enabled on the PrintServer. For example, if you wish to print
from Novell you need to enable the IPX/SPX protocol and configure it and
if you need to print SNA print from a host, you should enable the SNA
(PU/LU) protocol and configure it. These two protocols are not enabled by
default in the product. This configuration is carried out in PSinst32 or
using one of the following tools:
⇒ Web Browser
⇒ Telnet
⇒ Configuration file
⇒ BOOTP server
See the section on “Minimum Configuration” for more details on minimum
setup via each tool.
When you are sure that you have configured the PrintServer according to
your specific needs (see this chapter: chapter 3), you will have to make
the needed definition on the system in order to be able to send print to
the PrintServer. For this you proceed to the chapters 4-17.
26
Configuration
Xerox 4500 PS TR
3.1.1 Which Configuration Tool Do I Choose to Configure My PrintServer?
When delivered, the product has a MAC address but no IP address.
NOTE:
If the PrintServer is to be used for TCP/IP print, you need to
define an IP address in the PrintServer. If you wish to
configure via the Web browser or using Telnet, you need to
define an IP address in the PrintServer as well. You do this
in Psinst32 or via BOOTP.
About the IP Address
The IP address is unique in the Internet environment and consists of a
network ID and a host ID.
3.1.1.1 Psinst32
See section 3.3 for details
3.1.1.2 BOOTP Server
BOOTP may also send config files as well as download firmware. See
section 3.7 for details.
3.1.2 In General on Configuration...
The PrintServer can be subject to advanced configuration in general. This
can be done in a number of ways which will be dealt with later in this
document. The various configuration methods are:
⇒ configuration via PSinst32
⇒ configuration using Web browser
⇒ configuration via Telnet
⇒ configuration using a configuration file
⇒ configuration using BOOTP server
27
Configuration
Xerox 4500 PS TR
3.2 Minimum configuration
With a minimum configuration on protocol level in addition to the default
settings, the PrintServer is ready for operation.
A minimum configuration is necessary as it is system dependent and no
default value will apply in this case. The parameters stated in the minimum
configuration are mandatory settings for the PrintServer to become
operational.
To set the minimum configuration parameters, use either the program
PSInst32 or the minimum configuration file supplied with the configuration
diskettes.
The minimum configuration only covers the most basic printing needs and a
more advanced configuration will have to be done using of the other
supported configuration methods.
PSInst32
This program is described later in this chapter.
Minimum configuration file
Modify the parameters in the minimum configuration file to suit your system
configuration. A sample configuration file is shown later in this chapter. For
download of the configuration file, see the section “Configuration using
Setup file”.
3.2.1 Mandatory settings
TCP/IP
If you wish to operate via the TCP/IP protocol, the parameters below must
be set. These are system dependent and thus the default values will not
apply. Once these parameters have been defined, printing via LPD and
PPD ports can be performed.
Mandatory parameters:
IP address
Subnet mask
Gateway
These parameters should not be chosen
at random. Contact your system
administrator for details.
IP address
To receive data on your network you need to define an IP address.
This IP address is unique in the Internet environment and consists of a
network ID and a host ID. The IP address uses the address classes A,
B and C for the various network sizes.
28
Configuration
Xerox 4500 PS TR
Subnet masks are determined by assigning ones to bits belonging to
the network ID and zeros to bits belonging to the host ID.
The subnet masks may be represented in 32-bit values or as dotted
decimal notation.
E.g.:
Class values Subnet mask
A 1-126 255.0.0.0
B 128-191 255.255.0.0
C 192-223 255.255.255.0
NETWARE - IPX/SPX
To operate via the IPX/SPX protocol thus using the Embedded Print
Server (EPS) and the Embedded Printer (ENP) , you will first have to
Enable NetWare parameter.
Subsequently you must define the following NetWare parameters:
Set mode Bindery (vs. 3.1x)
Set Preferred SERVER
Set Preferred DSTREE (valid for vs 4.x only)
Set DS name context (valid for vs 4.x only)
For EPS
- mode
- printserver
- fileserver
For ENP
- printer number
- fileserver
- printserver
SNA-SCS PRINTING - PU-LU

3.3.9 Broadcasting
170/SCS (Mainframe)
One of the strong features of PSinst32 is the ability to detect and configure
devices via the LAN. When the DLC port has been selected as download
port, it is possible to detect devices even before an IP address has been
associated. This kind of detection is called broadcasting. A broadcast
message is issued through all bridges on the LAN. All associated devices
will be able to recognize this message, and will return an identification
message. The monitor sheet displays all devices which respond to the
broadcast message.
NOTE:
Since broadcasting puts a heavy burden on the network, it
should be limited to a minimum.
If you only need to update the status of the devices
attached to the LAN, you are recommended to use the
“Refresh” command instead of the “Discover” to lower
network burden.

3.4 Configuration using Web Browser
With a standard Web Browser, the PrintServer
supports configuration and status tasks. This
section provides an outline description of the
settings to be performed using the Web browser.
3.4.1 Requirements
A standard Web browser with Frame support.
If you use a no-frame browser (e.g. Microsoft Explorer), certain functions
will not be supported.
3.4.2 Access to ida HTML configuration
A configuration session requires the log on to the PrintServer entering
your IP address.
At the URL prompt type:
http:// < PrintServer IP address>
3.4.2.1 IP address
The IP address may be defined using one of these configuration tools:
- PSinst32
- Setup file
- BOOTP

3.5 Configuration using Telnet
The Telnet support (Terminal Emulation

a standard TCP/IP application permitting
access from TCP/IP attached host systems.
NOTE:
As Telnet requires NVT and VT100 terminal
emulations, Telnet configuration support is not valid when running VM and
MVS.
Due to restrictions in the AS/400 Telnet implementation, the following
information should be considered:
“If you do not want the characters that are being typed to be displayed, the
function key associated with the “Hide” function should be pressed (F6 on the
default keyboard map). This function should be used when typing a password.
If you want the characters that have been typed to be sent to the remote
system for processing without pressing the Enter key, you should press the
function key associated with the “SENDWOCR” function (F11 on the default
keyboard map).”
(source: IBM: Network in Red Books, SK 2T-6022).
To establish a Telnet session with a PrintServer interface you need to
program the PrintServer with an IP address. This address may also be
configured via one of the many other configuration methods available (as
described in this chapter).
EXAMPLE:
To start a Telnet session on a Telnet capable host, type the following:
Telnet 192.0.110.1.
where
192.0.110.1. is the IP address of the PrintServer.
(For IP address details contact your system administrator)
When a Telnet session has been established, the PrintServer will prompt
the host for a userid and password.
The userid will be adm and the password will initially be defined as adm
You are recommended to change this initial password. To change the
default password, see section 3.5.5 .
54
Configuration
Xerox 4500 PS TR
Once the PrintServer has accepted the default password, the following
screen will appear. For details on the main menu, see section 3.5.1

Toggling between entry options
Space bar
Selecting a given value ENTER key
Return to previous level/exit X
Other menu keys will be ignored for navigation purposes.
Validation will be performed in the various Telnet menus to make sure that
only valid field updates are performed. An error message will appear if an
entry is made incorrectly.

Xerox 4500 PS TR
3.7 Setting Up via BOOTP server
The TCP/IP BOOTP daemon on the server supports one or more remote
devices. When the PrintServer is powered on, it broadcasts an
initialisation request to all LAN systems. The BOOTP server receives the
hardware address and looks for a match of the hardware address in the
BOOTPTAB file. The BOOTP server has a BOOTPTAB file which is a
correspondence file for hardware addresses and IP addresses. When the
matching hardware address is located, the BOOTP server sends back
(using UDP protocol) an IP address, a subnet mask and other information
to the PrintServer in order to activate the unit. The data flow is as follows:
1. Upon startup, the remote device broadcasts its MAC address. (The
universal MAC address is stated on the rear panel of the remote
device). Upon receipt of this broadcast, the BOOTP server makes a
reply.
2. The BOOTP daemon searches for a corresponding MAC address in the
BOOTPTAB configuration file. If a match is found, the BOOTP daemon
returns an IP address and other pieces of information defining the unit
in the network.

BOOTPTAB Device Entry
Each device has its own special entry. In this entry the name of the
device, MAC address etc. are given. References may also be given to a
bootfile (bf).
NOTE: Do not confuse BOOTPTAB file with bootfile (bf).
78
Configuration

Bootfile Entry
The bootfile entry refers to a file which contains the additional
configuration settings for the particular device. In the bootfile, a reference
may also be given to a microcode file.
Microcode File
This file contains the microcode file that can be downloaded to the print
server. For further details please see Appendix B: Microcode Upgrading.
Setting up BOOTPTAB Device Entry
A device entry is made up with the following notations:
Notations used in BOOTPTAB file:
bf = bootfile
ds = domain name server address list
gw = gateway address list

3.7.1 BOOTP process
So far, this chapter has only been dealing with the setting up of the
PrintServer from a BOOTP server. However, the PrintServer can also be
equipped with a so-called “ default configuration”. This default
configuration will be carried out if the PrintServer cannot detect a BOOTP
server at the time the PrintServer is powered on. The default settings are
similar to the ones defined on the BOOTP server. For an illustration of this
boot event, please see the flow chart below.

3.7.2 Setting up the TFTP Daemon
For the BOOTP server to download the settings to the print server,
TFTP must be enabled.
TFTP in AIX Environment
The TFTP daemon is normally managed by the INETD super-daemon.
The INETD starts a TFTPD when a request is received. The TFTPD
satisfies the request and then dies. You need to configure INETD so that
it performs this service. This can be done in the following way using the
SMIT command (System Management Interface Tool):
NOTE: It can only be done with superuser authority (i.e. use the su
command to switch to root user).
1. Type SMIT.
2. Select the following items in order to configure the TFTP daemon.
- Communications Applications and Services
- TCP/IP
- Further Configuration
- Server Network Services
- Other Available Services
- Super Daemon (INETD)
- INETD Subservers
- Add an INETD Subserver
3. When the menu “Available Subservers” appears, use the “LIST”
function .
NOTE: The TFTPD will only be on the list if not already created.
You can also check /etc/inetd.conf to see whether the tftpd line is
commented out. But you should use SMIT to update inetd.conf for
TFTPD. Do not update /etc/inetd.conf manually for TFTPD as you would
for the BOOTPD.
SMIT does not allow you to place the BOOTPD under INETD. The
/etc/inetd.conf file must be updated manually for the BOOTPD.
You should ensure that there is no /etc/tftpaccess.cfg file. It can be used
to control access to files by remote TFTP users.

3.7.3 Starting the BOOTP Server
This section provides you with instructions for starting the BOOTP
server.
After making the necessary amendments to the BOOTPTAB file, you
are now ready to start the BOOTP server and then verify the
configuration by performing a test printout.
1. Start the BOOTP server
Use the BOOTP server debug option (-d) to verify the correct
operation.
E.g. bootpd -b -d -d -d -d -d
If the PrintServer and the BOOTP server are not on the same LAN
segment, the BOOTP server must be started with the -b option.
This enables the BOOTP reply to cross bridges.
2. Power the PrintServer off and back on.
3. After a while, check that the Power LAN LED stays lit.
4. Proceed to section: “Testing PrintServer”.
84
Configuration

3.8 Testing PrintServer
1. Perform a test printout by pressing the TEST key on the rear panel.
2. Verify that the settings match the definitions in the BOOTPTAB file
and the bootfile. Appendix F contains settings printout.
3. ‘’PING’’ the unit from the workstation to verify physical LAN and IP
network connectivity.
a. Invoke the PING command and the IP address or host name of
the unit. For example:
PING 192.0.110.1
b. If the PING is OK, you receive a system response like this:
PING 192.0.110.1: 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.0.110.1: icmp_seq=0. time=0.

Xerox 4500 PS TR
4. Novell Setup for IPX/SPX
This chapter provides instructions as to the configuration of Novell
NetWare to connect the PrintServer using the IPX/SPX protocol.
The PrintServer is able to run with NetWare v.3.1x in BINDERY
emulation as well as v.4.xx (the latter being backwards compatible) in
Directory Services (DS) or BINDERY emulation.
The PrintServer supports printing through an embedded PSERVER
(EPS) fully emulating a standard NetWare PSERVER.NLM.
Printing through the embedded NPRINTER (ENP) can also be
performed. Up to two ENPs is supported.
The Novell NetWare protocols supported are: SPX, SAP, NCP and IPX.
The NetWare set-up consists of the following basic steps:
• Check the pre-requisites (described in the section “Before you
begin” in the following).
• Check that the connection with the NetWare server has been
established by printing a file e.g. from a NetWare connected client.
The following sections will guide you through the configuration of the
Novell NetWare for IPX/SPX printing on the PrintServer using standard
NetWare tools.

This chapter provides the three methods available for printing from OS/2
based PC’s with TCP/IP installed:
1. Via print queue output port selection
(see Section 5.1 below for details).
2. Via redirection of LPTx port with LPR command
(see Section 5.2 below for details).
3. Redirection of LPTx port with LPRMON command
(see Section 5.3 below for details).
Once these parameters have been configured, and the basic TCP/IP
installation of the Xerox 4500 PS TR has been completed, direct printing
from OS/2 will be possible.
6.1 OS/2 printing via a print queue
1. Open the “Templates” folder.
2. Drag and drop the printer icon onto the desktop.
The “Settings” menu for the printer will now open automatically.
3. Give the printer a name and select the printer driver required.
4. Select the output port to be used by clicking one of the “LPD pipes”.
e.g. \PIPE\LPD0.
6. Give the LPD server a name
This may be either the IP address or the name which the Xerox 4500
PS TR has been given on a Name Server.
7. Give the LPD printer a name
The default LPD printer names defined in Xerox 4500 PS TR are
LPTPRT1 and LPDPRT2.
The LPDPrt1acr and LPTPrt2acr may also be used if a <CR> is
required at each linefeed.
The rest of the fields in this panel are optional.

6.2 OS/2 printing using LPR command
The LPR command may be used to print to the Xerox 4500 PS TR.
To invoke the LPR command from the command line, type e.g. the
following command::
LPR -b -pLPDPrt1 -s192.0.110.1 myprint.pcl
To avoid having to type this every time, the parameters can be included in
a .CMD file.
For more details on the options available with the LPR command you are
referred to the chapter “Entering the LPR Command” in the “TCP/IP for
OS/2 User’s Guide” or to the “ TCP/IP Command Reference”.
6.3 OS/2 printing via redirection of LPTx Port with LPRMON command
The LPRMON command is similar to the LPR command but provides an
on-screen monitoring facility of the data transfer to the Xerox 4500 PS TR.
The LPRMON command may be invoked from the command line typing
e.g.:
LPRMON -b -pLPDPrt1 -s192.0.110.1 LPT1
The above command may also be included in a .CMD file for ease of
operation.
For more details of the LPRMON command, please consult the LPRMON
section of the “TCP/IP for OS/2 User’s Guide” or the “TCP/IP Command
Reference”.
