Reset The NIC Password

Reset The NIC Password

Occassionally a user will set a root user password on the NIC adapter and then forget it. This is the procedure to reset the root password back to the default (no password).

1.Turn the printer on.

2.Take the printer offline and unlock the front panel by pressing the up and down arrows keys at the same time, then releasing.

3.Press all four arrow keys (up, down, prev, next) at the same time, and release.

4.Press the right (next) arrow until PRINTER MGMT appears.

5.Press the down arrow and then the right (next) arrow until “E- NET To DEFAULT” appears.

6.Press Enter.

7.Re-program the IP address information from the front panel.

NOTE: Steps 1 – 5 also clears the IP address information and sets the adapter back to the factory default.

TCP Access Lists

Within TCP/IP environments, the NIC can restrict host access to destinations/queues and remote command (e.g., rsh, rcmd, remsh, and telnet) execution services. This is done using an access list similar in function to the Unix .rhosts file.

NOTE: Access list settings are not configurable through the HTML forms provided with the NIC.

To view the current access list on the print server:

1.Start a Telnet session with the NIC. Syntax:

telnet NICIPaddress

2.Log in as root and press ENTER at the password prompt since there is no password by default (or your password for your home set).
