6-3 Using PSTool Utility

This section describes how to use the NETGEAR PSTool Utility for Apple Computers to configure AppleTalk on a NETGEAR Print Server. It is not necessary to use the NETGEAR PSTool Utility to manage AppleTalk printing if your NETGEAR Print Server can be managed via the web browser interface or if you have Windows workstations running the NETGEAR Print Server Administration program.

The NETGEAR PSTool Utility is a program that runs under the Mac OS©. You first edit a NETGEAR Print Server configuration file using a text editor such as SimpleText, then use the NETGEAR PSTool Utility to send the configuration file to the NETGEAR Print Server. The procedure is as follows:

Copy the following files from the Utility\Apple folder on the Print Server Resource CD-ROM to an appropriate folder on your Apple computer. Your Apple computer must be running System 7 or later Mac OS©.

PSTool

CONFIG.2P if configuring a 2 port print server, or CONFIG.3P if configuring a 3 port print server.

Use Chooser to select the desired Print Server.

Double click the CONFIG.2P or CONFIG.3P file that was copied over in step 1, and edit it. Figure 7-1 is an example of the CONFIG.3P file. DO NOT modify the first line and last line of the file, or change the number at the beginning of each line.
