Raw TCP Ports
The TROY PocketPro 100S provides a means of allowing only host computers with authorized IP addresses to access the print server. This is very useful for applications like check printing, where general access to the printer is not allowed. The console command SET IP ACCESS ENABLED ipaddress enters a host computer IP address into the access table of the print server (where ipaddress is the IP address of the host computer; refer to Appendix A for information on using the print server console). To remove an IP address, use the command SET IP ACCESS DISABLED ipaddress. To reenable general access, use the command
SET IP ACCESS ALL.
The TROY PocketPro 100S provides a raw TCP port capability that can be used by any application that can open and send data to a TCP port. The port number is 9100 (238C hex) for the parallel port. The ports pass data through unmodified, so there is no TELNET interpretation provided. When using the raw TCP ports, make sure that TELNET interpretation is disabled in your software or else you may get distorted printouts.
The raw TCP port is compatible with many popular software packages, including HP's JetDirect software for UNIX, TGV Multinet (streams mode), IBM AIX for the RS/6000 (V3.25 or later), and any
The HP JetDirect software for UNIX is available for Sun Solaris, SunOS, and HP/UX. HP printer users can download these utilities from the HP web site (http://www.hp.com).
To use a TROY PocketPro 100S print server with the HP host printing utilities on an HP/UX or Sun system, perform the following steps:
1.Download the software from the HP web site (http://hp.com).
2.If the download file is in tar format, use the tar xvf filename command to extract the software, where filename is the name of the software that you downloaded (you must be logged in as root). If the file is in pkgadd format, use the pkgadd
3.Run JetAdmin by typing jetadmin at the UNIX prompt (on SunOS 4.xx systems, you use the hpnpcfg program instead of JetAdmin, but the configuration steps are similar).
4.Select item 1 (Configuration) and then select item 3 (Add printer to local spooler).
