CHAPTER 6: EPS Configuration

TCP/IP users may want to set a TCP/IP address or gateway host (SET SERVER IPADDRESS or GATEWAY commands). You might need a gateway host if you have routers on your network and wish to print from non-local networks. The EPS will listen for routing packets (RIP, OSPF, etc.) to auto-select a router, but if these packets are not on your network, you must set a gateway host.

All four protocols use the server’s buffer size (SET/DEFINE SERVER BUFFER) to control what size network buffers to use to read and write data. The factory defaults should be adequate, but you may wish to change the default value to see if performance improves.

NetWare, TCP/IP, and LAT users can actually log into the EPS from the network to manage or monitor the server. You can allow, prevent, or require a password for this via the SET SERVER INCOMING command.

6.2 Passwords

There are 4 passwords on the EPS: the privileged password, login password, maintenance password, and service passwords.

•The privileged password is the password you must enter to become the privileged user. It defaults to “SYSTEM” and can be changed via

SET/DEFINE SERVER PRIVILEGED PASSWORD.

•You must enter the login password to log into the EPS “console” (via EPSCON, TSM, or Telnet). It defaults to “ACCESS” and can be changed via SET/DEFINE SERVER LOGIN PASSWORD.

The EPS also uses the login password to log into NetWare file servers. If you change the login password, you must also change any NetWare print queue setups to reflect the new password.

•The maintenance password is a hexadecimal string required to allow the MOP/NCP/TSM users access to the EPS. You can change it via SET/DEFINE SERVER MAINTENANCE PASSWORD. The default is “0” (zero).

•You need service passwords to access a service via LAT or TCP/IP. The passwords are specific to each service; you can change them via the SET/DEFINE SERVICE PASSWORD command. The default is no password. NetWare and AppleTalk have no way to specify a queue password, so password protection is not enforced for those protocols.
