Changing Destination Names

When defining some printers within Windows environments, the NIC requires that you specify a pre-defined destination rather than any name you would like. For example, when creating a new printer under Windows NT, you are presented with a screen similar to Figure 16.

This name can be changed to something more meaningful using the built-in HTML forms. To do this:

1.Load a Web browser on your Windows station and direct it to the URL http://P5000LJIPaddress/destConf.html

(e.g., http://192.75.11.9/destConf.html)

Note

If prompted for a User ID and password first, type in root for the ID and

 

press ENTER at the password prompt since there is no password by

 

default.
