Besides the HTML forms and software provided, the NIC internal command shell, npsh, can also be reached using Telnet, Remote Shell, and FTP:
Telnet
A TCP/IP command that helps configure NIC settings remotely. A TCP/IP host starts a Telnet session with the print server and logs into the device command shell to alter and view settings.
Example:
telnet 192.75.11.9
NOTE: The default User ID is root. There is no password by default, just press ENTER. If you have changed the default User ID and password, use the current User ID and the associated password instead of the defaults. For more information on setting passwords, see “NIC Security” on page 257.
Remote Shell
A TCP/IP command that helps configure print server settings remotely. A TCP/IP host uses this command to remotely execute a single command on the NIC.
Example:
rsh spike list prn
This command remotely executes the npsh command list prn on the NIC named spike.
