3.1 Discovery Program – Management

Access Program (MAP) –

The Management Access Program (MAP) uses a Windows-based Web
Browser linked with a proprietary bi-directional IPX/IP channel
program to allow access to the NIC’s HTML-based monitoring and
maintenance capabilities. It is possible to search and manage IPX and
IP based printers with this program, however it is necessary to first
install TCP/IP, and preferably IPX/SPX protocols and a Web Browser
onto your PC. This program allows you to:
Configure your network protocols for the NIC.
Reset the NIC remotely to either clear an error condition, or return
the print server to its factory default settings.
Troubleshoot problems in the NIC.
Enable or disable the status report printout.
