Chapter 3 Configuring NIC

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.

Configuration Using a Web Browser

NIC settings can be configured over TCP/IP through a standard Web browser. The NIC Web pages provide a handy way to access some of the commands built into the print server. You can access online help for all HTML pages.

Note

If a router is used, make sure a gateway value is configured.

To access the NIC home page:

1.Make sure the print server has an IP address and subnet mask so it is recognizable on your TCP/IP network.

2.Make sure your network station can successfully ping the NIC over the network.

3.Direct your Web browser to the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) http://IPaddress (e.g., http://192.75.11.9). You will be able to determine the exact state of the printer from the printer status screen, as the shown in Figure 11.
