NetGear Print Server Manual
Appendix C CONFIG File
This appendix provides information for editing a CONFIG file. CONFIG files are stored in the flash EEPROM of the NETGEAR PS100 series Print Sever and used for configuring the device using the FTP method. For more information about using the CONFIG file and to see an example of FTP commands, refer to the table of FTP Commands"on chapter 5 Unix. Only the parameters related to TCP/IP operation of the print server are listed.
For modification of the various NetWare IPX/SPX and NetBEUI settings, NETGEAR recommends that you use the included NETGEAR Print Server Administration Program or the PSCONFIG program.
CONFIG File TCP/IP Settings
When modifying the CONFIG file, use the configuration settings outlined below.
Configuration Settings
Parameter and Command
Device Name
(0001 BOX_NAME)
TCP/IP Protocol (0012 TCPIP_P)
IP Address
(4000 IP_ADDR)
Device IP Address (4001 GATEWAY)
Subnet Mask (4002 MASK)
TCP Session Retry

(4010 TCP_INT)
Definition
The default name of the print server is PSxxxxxx (PS followed by 6 numbers). You can change this, but the new name must not exceed 19 characters and must not include any spaces.
Enables or disables reception or transmission of TCP/IP packets.
This is the IP address for your print server. For more information about IP addressing, refer to See Understanding IP Addresses."
If your network segment has a router, enter the router address here. If there is no router, leave the address as 0.0.0.0.
If the Gateway Address is 0.0.0.0, leave the Subnet Mask at 0.0.0.0. If you have a router, enter the Subnet mask for the segment to which the print server is attached.
Sets how long the print server should wait before retrying a TCP/IP connection that is lost. Allowable values are from 0 to 255 seconds, with 2 as the default.
Retry Count (4011 TCP_CNT)
L1 Logical Printer
Mapping
(0100 L1_PROUT)
String Before Job for L1 Logical Printer
(0101 L1_PREST)
String After Job (0102 L1_POSTR)
Sets how many attempts for reconnection will be made. After attempting the set number, the TCP/IP session is terminated. Allowable values are from 0 to 255, with 254 as the default.
The physical port that this L1 logical printer maps to.
The L1 logical printer control string (in hex) to be sent to the printer before each print job. Note: A printer control string is limited to 15 characters.
Examples are: ASCII = [Esc]&l0O
Hexadecimal = 1B266C304F ASCII = [Esc]&l1O
Hexadecimal = 1B266C314F
The L1 logical printer control string (in hex) to be sent to the printer after each print job. Note: A printer control string is limited to 15 characters.
Examples are: ASCII = [Esc]&l0O
Hexadecimal = 1B266C304F ASCII = [Esc]&l1O
Hexadecimal = 1B266C314F
Convert LF to CR+LF (0103 L1_CHGLF)
If On, LF (line feed) characters are changed to CR+LF (carriage return + line feed). If off, no conversion is done.
