Lantronix LPS1-2, MPS100, LPS1-T Services, MPSxxxxxxTEXT LPSxxxxxxTEXT, MPSxxxxxxPCL LPSxxxxxxPCL

Services Getting Started

Incoming Telnet is only possible if your MPS has an IP address configured. Incoming Telnet is enabled by default to allow TCP/IP connections. To change this setting, use the Define Server Incoming command described in the Command Reference chapter of the Print Server Reference Manual located on the CD-ROM.

Incoming logins do not prompt for a login password, so you may wish to disable them for security reasons. If it is undesirable to disable incoming logins, the MPS can be configured to prompt for a password with the Define Server Incoming Password Enabled command.

3.2 Services

With few exceptions, you must create a service before you can configure print queues on the MPS. A service is a resource accessible to network hosts. A Lantronix service is also known as a remote printer name or remote queue name on many operating systems.

The following default services are available once the MPS100, LPS1-T, or LPS1-2 has booted:

Table 3-1:Default Services

MPS100	LPS1-T & LPS1-2	Function
MPS_xxxxxx_TEXT	LPS_xxxxxx_TEXT	Used for text print
		jobs
MPS_xxxxxx_PCL	LPS_xxxxxx_PCL	Used for binary
		print jobs, such as
		plotter or PCL
		files
MPS_xxxxxx_PS	LPS_xxxxxx_PS	Used for Post-
		Script print jobs

The default service names are based on the server name; therefore the server name must be no more than 13 characters. If you change the server name, the service names will change as well. For example, changing the server name from MPS_xxxxxx to BIOLAB will change the service names to BIOLAB_TEXTS1 and so on.

The default serial port services have the TCP/IP, NetWare, LAN Manager, and AppleTalk protocols enabled. Parallel port services have TCP/IP, NetWare, and LAN Manager enabled. LAT is disabled by default on all services provided by the MPS because many network managers object to the frequent LAT service announcements. AppleTalk is disabled on parallel port services because AppleTalk requires Bitronics mode, which is disabled by default.

If you need to modify a default service, see the Server Configuration chapter of the Print Server Reference Manual located on the CD-ROM.
