FastPort give users the widest access to shared printers:

•Windows 95®, Windows NT, and Windows for Workgroups systems

•Apple® Macintosh® using EtherTalk®

The MIL-3200X print servers are configured by using an SNMP management station, such as the FastManage software (included). The MIL-3200X also supports SNMP MIB-II (RFCs 1213) and parallel and serial MIBs (RFCs 1318 and 1317).

1.3.2Utilities

To make the units easier to manage, Digi supplies:

•FastManage suite of software, a Windows-based management package

•Advanced Configuration Tool (ACT), a DOS-based menu software application

Configuration of devices can be done by using print utilities on UNIX systems. Firmware upgrades of the flash EPROMs can be done via network connections. Refer to the FastPort User’s Guide for more information.
