ETHERNET PRINT SERVER

Appendix D: Network Logins

Configuring the EPS from the network is rather simple. You can log into the EPS via LAT, TCP/IP, and NetWare, and you will have a command “shell” with which to configure the EPS. The EPS provides utilities to allow you to configure it from AppleTalk and NetWare nodes without logging in.

If you do log in to the EPS, it will give you a “#” prompt. You must enter the EPS’s login password and press <Return>. The default password is “ACCESS,” and you can change it via the SET/DEFINE SERVER LOGIN PASSWORD command. The EPS will then ask you for a username. Choose any name and press <Return>. From the “Local>” prompt, type HELP to get a list of EPS commands and get in-depth help on each command.

For NetWare, the EPS provides a utility called EPSCON on a floppy disk. Copy it onto your workstation to use it. With EPSCON, you can either log into an EPS or just send individual commands to it. There are 3 formats:

C:> EPSCON [?]

If you do not specify a host, the utility lists all available print servers. Using ? will show the various EPSCON syntax options.

C:> EPSCON eps1_name

This command opens a login session to the EPS. The file server learns of any EPSs via network broadcasts—it does not need any configuration to be able to connect to it. At login, the utility displays the “#” password prompt. Type “ACCESS” and press <Enter>. Then, enter a username and press <Enter>. You will then be at the EPS local prompt, and can type HELP for a command list.

C:> EPSCON host [SHOW RESET SERVERNAME]

This command prompts for the EPS login password (“ACCESS” by default) and then sends a single command to the EPS without logging in. SHOW will show NetWare activity on the EPS, RESET will force the EPS to re-scan the file servers on the network, and SERVERNAME will attempt to change the EPS’s server name. If it changes the server name, the names of any default (EPS_xxxxxx_xx) service will also change to use the new server name and the _xx suffix. For TCP/IP, you can use Telnet or Rlogin to connect to the EPS. If the EPS’s IP address is 192.77.23.42, doing a

%telnet 192.77.23.42

will place you at the password (“#”) prompt.
