3.3Printing from NT using the HP DLC Protocol

With Windows NT, if the HP DLC protocol was installed through the Control Panel, Networks, choose HP DLC printer from the “other network device” dialog box.

A list of hardware (Ethernet or Token Ring) addresses for DLC compliant devices appear. FastPort will show up in this list.

3.4 Printing from Windows using TFTP Client

As a final TCP/IP option, FastPort supports the TFTP protocol for printing data or flash jobs. If the workstation has a TFTP client, open a session with FastPort’s IP address, and PUT a file from the station to FastPort. FastPort will print jobs on its first parallel port (example for NT:tftp -i x.x.x.x PUT flash.hex).

3.5 Management Tools Used with NetBIOS and TCP/IP

This section focuses on network management utilities that are based on the NetBIOS/NetBEUI and TCP/IP protocol.

3.5.1FastManage

The FastPort print server supports configuration from the Digi’s FastManage suite of software. With this software, FastPorts on a network can be located and managed. See the Chapters 9 thru 11 for information on how to use FastManage.

3.5.2NetBIOS-DOS Tools: NBMON and showprn

FastPort devices also support configuration from DOS. Digi supplies two DOS tools: NBMON and showprn. They are included on the CD-ROM or can be downloaded from our FTP site. To install these tools, copy them from the CD-ROM to a local drive and run them (see Appendix I).
