ETHERNET PRINT SERVER

Appendix E: Quick-Start Guide

NOTE: Read this appendix only if you are loading a new boot image on the print server.

If you’re a manager who has installed print/terminal servers before and are very familiar with BOOTP, RARP, TFTP, NetWare, and/or MOP downloading configuration, read this chapter to set your EPS up quickly.

If you’ve never installed a server before, read the full installation instructions in Chapter 3.

Experienced managers can follow these steps to quickly setup the EPS:

1.Attach the server to the network, via transceiver, AUI cable, or 10BASE-T cable.

2.Attach the console device (we recommend a terminal) to the server. The server will expect a console device connected to port 1, at 9600 baud, 8-bit characters, and no parity.

3.If you have not yet installed the server software, do so now. Installing the software will require approximately 5 megabytes of disk space.

•VMS: Use vminstal to install in the contents of the distribution tape. The

.SYS files will be installed in SYS$SYSROOT:[MOM$SYSTEM] by default. Ensure that this directory is in the MOM$LOAD search path and that MOP downloading is enabled.

•NetWare: Copy the download file(s) (PS1.SYS) from the enclosed floppy disks onto your file server. The files will gave to be in the login directory for this file server (generally SYS:\LOGIN). Also, there is an 11-character limit on the EPS pathname—make sure the login directory conforms to this limit.

•UNIX: tar the tape into the /tmp directory. You will then have to place the download file (ETS.SYS, SPS.SYS, and/or PS1.SYS) file in whichever directory your host’s TFTP server will look for them. If TFTP requires no default directory, the EPS itself will allow only 15 characters of path information, so place the files in a directory adhering to this limit. The directory and files must have world read privileges.

If your host supports BOOTP, you may wish to add the server to the host’s BOOTP configuration file (usually /usr/etc/bootptab). You will have to add the server’s hardware address (from the rear of the unit), its IP address, and the filename to download (PS1.SYS for the EPS). For example:
