Unix

This chapter describes using your LevelOne Printer Server in the Unix environment.

Overview

Software Requirements

TCP/IP protocol, FTP (Optional: - BOOTP, Rarp, Telnet)

LPD printing system (for LPD printing)

C Compiler (for PSfilter proprietary printing system only).

IP Address Configuration

The LevelOne Printer Server must be provided with a IP Address so that it will be a valid device on the LAN. This can be done using either Static or Dynamic IP Address configuration.

Procedure

1.Login to the UNIX host as root.

2.Connect to the LevelOne Printer Server and configure it with your Web browser, as explained in Chapter 7 - TCP/IP. Note the following points:

If using static IP Addresses, you will need to add an entry to your arp table, as described in Chapter 7.

If using bootp or rarp, the Unix host must be configured as explained in the following section, before you can connect to it.

3.Add an entry for the LevelOne Printer Server to the /etc/hosts file. This will allow you to address the LevelOne Printer Server by name, rather than by IP Address. The line in the hosts file looks like the following:

IP_Address NAME # comment

Where:

IP_Address is the IP address for the LevelOne Printer Server. This address must match the address stored in the device.

NAME is the LevelOne Printer Server’s name. This must match the name stored in the device.

#comment. Add the Default Server Name as a comment. The Default Server Name is shown on a sticker on the base of the device.

Example:

192.10.2.54 PS_Rm203 #Default name PS123456

In the example above, PS123456 is assigned the IP address 192.10.2.54 and the name “PS_Rm203”.

4.Check the IP Address using the ping command:

ping NAME

You should receive a response. If you get a Timeout message, the above procedure has failed.
