Chapter 3 Configuring NIC
Remote Shell
A TCP/IP command that helps configure print server settin gs remotely. A
TCP/IP host uses this command to remotely execute a sing le 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 standa rd 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 hel p for all HTML pages.
To access the NIC home page:
1. Make sure the print server has an IP address and subn et mask so it is
recognizable on your TCP/IP network.
2. Make sure your network station can successfull y 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 prin ter status
screen, as the shown in Figure 11.
Note If a router is used, make sure a gateway value is configured.
