CHAPTER 4: Host Configuration
4. Host Configuration
Host configuration is broken down by protocol, since none of the procedures are common to any of the protocols. You must enable the protocol on the EPS service before clients will be able to see and use that service.
You should be familiar with the protocol and host setup; refer to the documentation that came with your operating system software for more details.
You must remember 3 resource names as you configure the EPS and host(s). Each EPS has a unique name and hardware address printed on the rear of the unit. The last 3 pairs of digits in the address are used for the EPS name and its service names. The EPS name is EPS_xxxxxx, where
xxxxxxare the last 3 pairs of digits in the unit’s hardware address. Address
and EPS_457e5a_P1. The EPS name is needed for LAT and NetWare configuration. The service names are available to other hosts to connect and print to. In general, the resource names are not
4.1 NetWare Host Configuration
To process NetWare print jobs, the EPS logs into the file server and then queries the server for pending jobs. The Print Server logs in under the EPS’s name, not the names of the EPS services. For this reason, you must enter the EPS name with the service name in the steps below. The EPS name also has a password associated with it; the EPS will provide this password when it tries to log into the file server. You can configure the EPS via the PCONSOLE utility on the file server(s).
NetWare configuration involves 4 major steps:
1.If necessary, allow unencrypted passwords on the file server.
2.Tell the NetWare file server which print resources are on the EPS.
3.Assign print queues on the file server to use the EPS resources.
4.Tell the EPS to
