Tektronix Phasershare Printer manual Extracting files from unix.tar, Printing the Configuration

6 TCP/IP Configuration Overview

Before you begin

■Do not turn on the printer yet. Your printer should be set up and connected to the network. See your printer’s user documentation for information about setting up the printer. For information about connecting the printer to the network, see Chapter 2, “PhaserShare Series B Network Interfaces”.

■Install the files from the your printer’s CD-ROM on to the hard disk of the workstation you will be using for the TCP/IP configuration. For more information, see the next topic, “Extracting files from unix.tar”.

Extracting files from unix.tar

The file unix.tar contains all shell scripts and other files needed for network configuration in UNIX environments. The file is in UNIX tar format. The file is included with your printer’s networking software.

Listing the contents of unix.tar

Type this command:

tar tvf /directory-name/unix.tar

Where directory-nameis the mount point or the directory that contains the file. For example:

tar tvf /mnt/unix.tar

Extracting the files

1.Change (cd) to the directory on your workstation where you want the files to reside.

2.Type this command:

tar xvf /directory-name/unix.tar

Where directory-nameis the mount point or the directory that contains the file. For example:

tar xvf /mnt/unix.tar

Printing the Configuration Page

Your printer’s Configuration Page reports important information that you will need for TCP/IP configuration. For information on printing a Configuration Page, see “The printer’s Configuration Page” on page 6.
