ETHERNET PRINT SERVER

6.5 NetWare Configuration

You do not need to configure the EPS for use with NetWare. The NetWare address is the EPS’s hardware address, and the EPS discovers the network by listening to network traffic. The EPS contacts file servers in the same way.

You do need to specify a file server to contact to download new EPS software if the Flash-ROMs ever need reloading. You can do this via the DEFINE SERVER NETWARE LOADHOST command. If a NetWare file server is configured after the EPS boots, you can use the SET SERVER NETWARE RESET command to force the EPS to re-scan the available file server queues. See also the EPSCON utility description in Appendix C. The SHOW PROTOCOLS NETWARE command shows all current configuration and counters for the NetWare protocol handler on the EPS. SHOW QUEUE will show any currently queued or active NetWare print jobs.

6.6 TCP/IP Configuration

To configure the EPS for TCP/IP, you only need to set the EPS’s IP address (via BOOTP, RARP, or SET/DEFINE SERVER IPADDRESS). The SET SERVER INCOMING command controls whether you can Telnet into the EPS from the network and whether those logins are password-protected.

The SHOW PROTOCOLS TCPIP command shows all current configuration and counters for the TCP/IP protocol handler on the EPS. SHOW QUEUE will show any currently queued or active TCP/IP print jobs. The SHOW HOSTS command will show the names and IP addresses of any other TCP/IP hosts the EPS has learned of by listening to network traffic.

6.7 AppleTalk Configuration

To configure the EPS for AppleTalk, you only need to specify which AppleTalk zone the EPS will be a part of. If only one zone is running on your network, the EPS will choose that zone by default at network startup time.

If more than one zone is running on your network, use the SET/DEFINE PROTOCOL APPLETALK ZONE command to specify the new zone name. Any program or utility that attempts to change the zone of the printer attached to the EPS (if it’s an AppleTalk compatible printer) will have no effect, since the EPS will still control the zone setting. Finally, if no router exists on your network, the EPS will not accept AppleTalk print jobs for the 60 seconds after booting, while it searches for a router.

There are three constraints on the serial port when using a PostScript- compatible printer with the EPS. Some or all of these might not be the default on the printer as it is delivered.
