Unit Information

Configure Printer

￿The Unit Number is reported to the MinIT Management Software, to identify this unit on the network. It needs to be a unique number for the MinitMan Manager to be able to see and manage the unit. The default value is the last 6 digits of the Mac address.

￿Unit Description should be used to help identify the unit, such as the name of the user, or a location.

￿NLynx Management Server is the IP address of the Server from which to download software updates to this unit.

￿If you wish to secure this unit from accidental reconfiguration, you can set an Administrative Password here.

￿Minit.Man port: this is the IP port that the MinitMan Management software uses to talk to the unit. The default is 18901. Change this only if you are changing it on the Minit.Man management station as well.

￿Boot to Terminal Mode ONLY. Select this option if you want this unit to be forced into a straight text 5250 terminal mode, without access to the windows looking desktop. The access to the x- window desktop and the Administration menus will be hidden to the user. An administrator who knows the password can access any of the desktop or administrative functions.

￿Restart MinitMan. You will want to hit Restart if you have changed any of the parameters of the unit, so that the new information is reported to the MinitMan manager.

Click on Done when you have completed this page.

You can have up to 3 printers defined to be used as 5250 host printers. For instance, LP1 can be set up to use a parallel printer, and LP2 and LP3 can be network printers that are on your network.

Choose your default Printer – usually LP1 – Then click on Configure LP1 in order to set the printer up.

For a printer that is locally attached to this MinIT unit (Parallel Port), select Parallel Port and give the printer a name (optional, but it may help to have a name that is more meaningful to you than LP1).

If the printer is a network printer, fill in the IP address and give it a name.
