2.1 Preparing the Printer

2.1 Preparing the Printer
If the printer (Di250/Di350 with Pi3500) can generate a test or status report, you should generate one before you begin. This will give you detailed information on the identification and configuration of your printer, as well as ensuring that the printer is properly set up and operating. 1. Make sure that the printer is operating properly. Check to see that paper is in the paper drawer and toner cartridge is full. 2. Turn off the printer and remove the power cord. 3. Install the NIC in the option port.

Note
• Handling Precautions for Static Sensitive Devices: The NIC is designed to protect sensitive components from damage due to electrostatic discharge (ESD) during normal operation. When performing installation procedures, however, take proper static control precautions to prevent damage to equipment.

2.2 Powering Up the Printer
Use the following procedures to power up the printer (Di250/Di350 with Pi3500). Do this before the printer is attached to the network to verify the physical installation of the NIC. 1. Plug in the power cord. 2. Turn on power and wait for the printer to warm up. The printer may print out a status report (if this option is not disabled). The NIC then provides a print job to the printer which contains the NIC status information. Refer to 7.2 Status/Configuration Report, for more information. 3. Check the NIC status report. Record the serial number and the Network address or save the status report. You need this information when you configure the printer for your network. 4. Power down the printer. 5. Connect the network cable between the NIC and a network drop. See 2.3 Connecting to a Network the NIC, for network connection information.

The CD-ROM contains the following programs for the Windows environment. • Discovery Program This program automatically searches for NICs on a network. Found NICs are listed in the Web Browser being used. Clicking a NIC name accesses the card’s onboard HTTP server, which you can use to make various NIC settings. See Appendix C of this manual for details. The Discovery Program generally utilizes the MAP (Management Access Program) to find an IP or IPX based NIC. Once found, the Discovery Program allows you to make setting changes through the NIC’s built-in Web page. • Peer-to-Peer Printing Program This program provides peer-to-peer printing capabilities, without having to go through the server. Peer-to-peer printing can be enabled by installing IP peer-to-peer printing under a TCP/IP environment, or by installing IPX Peer-to-Peer printing program under an IPX/SPX environment.

3.3 IPX Peer-to-Peer Printing Program

3.3 IPX Peer-to-Peer Printing Program
The IPX Peer-to Peer Printing Program enables IPX Peer-to-Peer printing in a Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0 environment. The following are the characteristics of IPX Peer-to-Peer printing. • •
Chapter 3

IPX Peer-to-Peer printing implements peer-to-peer bi-directional printing between Windows workstations and NIC printers. The Peer-to-Peer implementation uses the IPX/SPX stacks that are provided with Windows 95 or Windows NT4.0. The IPX Peer-to-Peer Printing program establishes a connection with the printers supporting Peer-to-Peer, without using an intermediate file server, whether or not your network uses Novell NetWare. If you are not using NetWare, you do not need to activate any NetWare Client application.



Utilizing Windows Programs



Note
• The IPX Peer-to-Peer Printing program uses IPX/SPX Compatible Protocol, so you must install IPX/SPX Compatible Protocol on your workstation if it is not already installed. See the documentation that comes with Windows for details about installation. • Because Peer-to-Peer uses the IPX/SPX Protocol, Novell operation must remain enabled on the NIC, even if traditional Novell printing facilities are not being used. The name of the Peer-to-Peer printer, as it appears in the Windows Port List, is the same as the Novell Print Server name, and may be changed by changing the Novell Print Server name using the Web-based management or MAP Program.

On power up, the NIC checks the network to see if there is Novell activity. If there is, it will use the same frame type and the local network number that it senses. If, in addition, the NIC can log on to a file server, it will assume that Novell is normally used and will store this frame type and new number in NVRAM so that, when it comes up again, it will not have to spend the time sensing (which can take some time). However, if the NIC cannot attach to a file server, it will use the sensed values, but will not store them.

3-10

3.3 IPX Peer-to-Peer Printing Program
If the NIC does not see any Novell activity, it will use 802.2 on 802.3 as a frame type and will assign itself a network number of 0. The frame type and network number being used is shown on the status report.

Note
• If a NIC is being moved from a site that had active Novell to a site that does not, the unit should be reset to the factory default to clear the frame type and network number information.

You can use the following procedure to manually install the IPX Peerto-Peer Printing program. 1. Insert the CD-ROM into your workstation’s CD-ROM drive. 2. Run the program. (In this example, we assume that drive D: is your workstation’s CD-ROM drive.)
D:\Ipx-P2p\Setup.exe

3. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen. Once the redirector is installed, each printer on the network that supports this Peer-to-Peer capability will appear as a Port under Printer. To use the Peer-to-Peer connection, create a logical printer using the driver installation program according to the instructions for your printer. Set up the printer as a LOCAL printer.

4.1.7 Installing the Print Server on Multiple File Servers
To install the print server on more than one file server, perform the procedures described in Sections 4.1.1 through 4.1.6 for each file server. You must use the same name and password for the print server (or no password) on all file servers. You set the password for the NIC using the MAP or a Web Browser (refer to 4.3 Configuring the NIC in Novell Directory Services). If you use a password, specify it on each file server using the Change Password option on the Print Server Information menu of the PCONSOLE utility. When the NIC comes up, it automatically searches for and attaches to the file servers that are no more than four hops and have no more than eight ticks propagation delay. For extremely large or complex networks, this allows a bounded search time on start-up. If the print server must attach to file servers beyond this range, or, if you wish to accelerate start-up by eliminating the need to search all file servers in the four hops/eight ticks radius, the file servers with which the print server is to operate may be entered into the Print Server Configuration of a “primary” file server. The primary file server can be any file server within the four hops/eight ticks propagation time limits, but ideally is as close as possible to the print server. Once the print server locates the primary file server and the list of file servers to be serviced, the automatic search is dropped and the print server will go directly to those file servers listed (and to no others).

4.1.9 Preferred File Servers
The Management Access Program MAP or Web Browser allow you to identify a “preferred” file server, to be identified within the NIC itself. If a preferred file server is listed, the NIC will attach to this identified file server instead of initiating the automatic search. If the preferred file server is also a primary file server (for example, has file servers listed under file servers to be serviced), the NIC will connect directly to these file servers.

Note
• The Preferred File Server is only applicable to bindery-based queues. Entering it has no affect on NDS queues.

4.2 Configuring NetWare 4.x — Bindery Emulation

4.2 Configuring NetWare 4.x — Bindery Emulation
Novell’s NetWare 4.x can operate in two modes — Novell Directory Services (NDS) and Bindery Services Emulation. For Directory Services, see 4.3 Configuring the NIC in Novell Directory Services. These services run simultaneously and transparently to each other. The NIC may be configured to operate with Bindery Services mode only (this section), or to operate under NDS (4.3 Configuring the NIC in Novell Directory Services). When configured under NDS, the NIC will also service older file servers operating in bindery mode.

Note
Chapter 4 • If the NIC is not properly set up for NDS and the Bindery Services mode is not running, the NIC can not find its file servers, and the status report indicates the Novell NetWare protocol is not active.

4.2.1 Confirm Bindery Context
Before installing the NIC on a Novell NetWare 4.x server in Bindery Emulation mode, check that the server has a Bindery Context (name for the server under Bindery Services mode). If the server does not have Bindery Context, it may be preferable to install in NDS mode. If the NIC must be installed in the Bindery Emulation mode, the server must have Bindery Context. Perform the following steps to confirm the server has Bindery Context: 1. Go to the 4.x server and at the system console type: load install 2. Select Maintenance/Selective Install from the menu. 3. Select NCF Files Options from the menu. 4. Select Edit AUTOEXEC.NCF from the menu. 5. Search the file to see if you have a statement similar to the following included:
SET BINDERY CONTEXT=OU=ENG Where =OU=ENG is an example of a name for the file server context. Use your own file server context in place of =OU=ENG. At the console prompt, type the SET BINDERY CONTEXT state-

4.3 Configuring the NIC in NetWare 4.3 Configuring the NIC in Novell Directory Services Directory Services

4.3 Configuring the NIC in Novell Directory Services
Novell Directory Services (NDS) offers a different, more advanced approach to network management than previous NetWare versions. Generally, it stores and tracks all network objects. As a rule, all 4.x servers must have NDS loaded in order to function. In this way, every NetWare 4.x server is a Directory server, because it services named Directory objects such as printers, print servers and print queues. With the appropriate privileges, you can create a print server object, which, once configured in its context (or location) on the network, eliminates the cumbersome setup of print servers on every network server. NDS provides true enterprise networking based on a shared network database rather than a individually defined physical sites. The result is greatly improved print server setup and management. The Directory Information Base (DIB) is used to store information about servers and services, users, printers, gateways, etc. It is a distributed database, allowing access to data anywhere on the network wherever it is stored. Pre-4.x NetWare versions provide the same data found in the DIB but the data is stored in the NetWare Bindery. The DIB was designed with more flexible access, more specific security, and, since it is distributed, it was designed to be partitioned. The Directory uses an object-oriented structure rather than the flat-file structure of the Bindery, and offers network-oriented access, rather than server-oriented access found in the Bindery. The Directory is backward-compatible with the NetWare Bindery through Bindery emulation mode. Section 4.2 describes Print Server Operation with a 4.x NetWare system in bindery emulation mode. When Bindery emulation is enabled, Directory Services will accept Bindery requests and respond just as if a Bindery existed on the NetWare server being accessed. Be aware that information obtained from the Bindery query may not be stored in the server since the Directory is a partitioned and distributed database. Even though the NetWare 4.x server is not operating from a Bindery, the applications making Bindery requests will not know the difference.

You may use NWADMIN to configure the printer in NDS. Prior to printing, NDS must be set up as follows and the NIC must be set up with NDS Context and Tree. See Section 4.4. The steps below describe the use of NWADMIN configuration to create printer, print server, and print queue objects. Then, you will assign, or associate those objects with each other. If you wish to keep Bindery resources on any server, you can under NetWare 4.x if you declare a SET statement in your AUTOEXEC.NCF file. For those who prefer, NetWare does offer PCONSOLE as an alternative to NWADMIN. PCONSOLE can be used to set up static information about print servers such as: which queues to service, and whom to notify in the event of a problem. See Novell NetWare documentation for more information about the use of PCONSOLE for NDS.

The MAP or a Web Browser must be used to define the context and tree of the Print Server. It is also used to change the Print Server name, set in a password, modify scan and frame search parameters, and sent in bindery-mode specific values. Use the MAP or Web Browser (refer to Chapter 3) to access the Setup pages of the NIC. Once you have accessed the Network Setting pages or the Main Menu, do the following: 1. Select Setup NetWare under Protocols. 2. Click on Enable NetWare. If it is not selected, the NetWare protocols will not come up, the NIC will not appear as an advertised device, and the NIC will not be accessible using IPX SNMP. 3. The default name for the NetWare Print Server is MLT_123456, 123456 is the serial number of the NIC. This is also the name of the printer in peer-to-peer mode. If you want to change the default Print Server name, type this name in the Print Server Name space. Leave the space blank if the default name is to be used. 4. If you want the NIC login with a password, this password may be entered in the Print Server Password field, and again in the Password Retype field. If a password is used, this password must be the same password for all bindery-based and NDS-based Print Server entries. 5. Type the name of a preferred bindery-based file server in the Preferred File Server field. The Preferred File Server entry is significant only for bindery or bindery emulation based operations. Refer to 4.1.9 Preferred File Servers for the significance of a Preferred File Server. The Print Server must be configures on the Preferred File Server. Incorrect setup of a Preferred File Server can interfere with NetWare printing.

6. If the Print Server is to be operated under Novell Directory Services, type in a Context entry and Preferred NDS Tree entry in the appropriate fields. Be sure to give the whole context, whether typed or typeless, and do not begin your context path with a trailing period (.). If you don't know your tree, type: whoami at the DOS command line. A typed context name example is: ou=standard.ou=organization_1 7. In the default mode, the Print Server scans each queue which it is to service once per second. If you prefer a longer scan rate, you may enter the time between scans in seconds in the Print Queue Scan Rate field. 8. The NIC will normally monitor the network to determine which frame type is being used for NetWare. When it recognizes a type, it will assume the same frame type. Once it selects a frame type, the NIC will only operate over that NetWare frame type. Monitoring normally starts looking for IEEE 802.3, then Ethernet II, then 802.3 SNAP, etc. If your network is using multiple frame types for NetWare, you should bias the frame search to the desired type by setting the button next to the designation under Ethernet Frame Type. 9. You can Disable Bindery mode on the Print Server if you are operating in NDS mode only. To do so, click on that box. If you disable Bindery, the NIC will not support Print Servers on a Bindery file server. 10. Once you have selected all desired settings and entered the desired NetWare information, you may cause this information to be entered in the NIC NVRAM by clicking on Accept Settings. As with all value changes, if you have not entered the NIC Management Password before, you must enter it in the appropriate space before clicking on Accept Settings. 11. Entered values do not take effect until the NIC is reset or power cycled. You may reset from MAP or the Web Browser by returning to the Network Settings page, and click on Reset under System. Now click on Reset Unit. Alternatively, you may power cycle the printer. The new NetWare values should now be in effect.

6.1 Installation in a Windows Environment
This chapter explains how to configure the NIC and your network for use with TCP/IP communication in various environments. Independent setup and installation procedures are provided for Windows systems and for most popular UNIX systems. The NIC TCP/IP capability will also operate with lpr spoolers on other systems, and with spooler/ supervisor capabilities that communicate raw print jobs to the Print Server TCP/IP Port. This port number defaults to 10001, but may be changed to any desired number using the Telnet utility, SNMP, or the HTML pages accessible via MAP or a Web Browser. Section 6.3 Running Telnet, describes the interactive setup capability accessible through the Telnet utility on any TCP/IP platform, and is equally applicable to Windows, UNIX, and other TCP/IP environments. The use of MAP or a Web Browser to access Web pages in the NIC is described in Chapter 3.

6.1 Installation in a Windows Environment
The several versions and variations of Microsoft Windows may be used on a NetWare and/or TCP/IP networks, as well as in a native Microsoft Windows network. This flexibility allows various options for setting up the network printing system even though this NIC does not support NetBEUI. If the Windows workstations are connected to a NetWare network, configure the printer interfaces for NetWare, and use standard Windows/NetWare utilities to provide access to the printer. If NetWare is not to be used, the users may access the printer using TCP/IP. Windows 95 and Windows NT4.0 users can also use the NIC Peer-toPeer capability as described in Chapter 3. The following sections describe installation using TCP/IP under Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95, and Windows NT.

6-1

TCP/IP Configuration

Chapter 6

6.1 Installation in a Windows Environment Note
• See the documentation that comes with Windows for details about installing TCP/IP on each workstation. • Printing with TCP/IP requires that the workstation have TCP/IP capability and the corresponding spooler, lpr; or that the workstation can share an lpr queue on a Windows NT server (for example) that has one. In general, if printers are not shared, an lpr queue must be created on each workstation from which printing is initiated. See the Windows documentation about sharing printers.

Windows for Workgroups
Windows for Workgroups does not normally come with TCP/IP. However, various TCP/IP facilities are available for Windows for Workgroups workstations, including a free TCP/ IP provided by Microsoft. There are third party lpr spoolers available. The following instructions are based on the Microsoft TCP/IP and a shareware lpr application that is available from various sources. You will need the files WFWTCP32.zip and WFWTCP32.txt for the TCP/IP, and Windows lpr Spooler Version 4.1 (wlprs41.zip and wlprspl.txt) for the lpr. See the file named wlprspl.txt for details about installing Windows lpr Spooler Version 4.1.

If you wish to use the BOOTP, you also need the BOOTPL16.exe file provided with this NIC.

Windows 95
TCP/IP Configuration

Windows 95 comes with a TCP/IP stack. To print with this protocol, a client also requires an lpr utility. This program is available from various sources. The lpr queue can be created on each workstation or the lpr queue can be created on one workstation and shared on the network. Windows 95 workstations can also share an lpr printer installed on a Windows NT server on the network. The following instructions are based on the a shareware lpr application that is available from various sources. You will need the

6.1 Installation in a Windows Environment
Windows lpr Spooler Version 4.1 (wlprs41.zip and wlprspl.txt)

for the lpr. See the file named wlprspl.txt for details about installing Windows lpr Spooler Version 4.1. If you wish to use the BOOTP, you also need the BOOTPL32.exe file provided with this NIC.

Windows NT
Windows NT (version 3.5 or higher) does come with TCP/IP and lpr capabilities, although these must be installed when the unit is configured. You must install the TCP/IP Protocol, Simple TCP/IP Services, and Microsoft TCP/IP Printing prior to entering the network printer on the workstation. If you wish to use the BOOTP, you also need the BOOTPL32.exe file provided with this NIC.

Note
• Once you have lpr installed on an Windows NT Server workstation and have allowed printer sharing, other workstations may use the printer through the Microsoft Windows Network without having to have separate lpr queues installed on each workstation. Chapter 6

6-3

TCP/IP Configuration

6.1 Installation in a Windows Environment

6.1.1 Setting up the NIC
The NIC must be given IP address and routing information to be used with TCP/IP. This can be done with MAP if you have a NetWare connection on your network, or with AppleTalk NIManage for Macintosh utility program if there is an Apple Macintosh on the network. Follow the instructions for these programs which are documented elsewhere in this manual. If you cannot use these programs, you can use either the ARP procedure or the BOOTP. Prior to running these programs, install the NIC in your printer. Power-up the printer (Di250/Di350 with Pi3500). Keep the status report handy for the Ethernet MAC Address. It should show that TCP/IP is enabled, but that the IP address is not configured. If the unit already has an IP address, these procedures will not work. However, you can Telnet to the unit or use the Web pages accessed by MAP or a Web Browser to change the IP parameters.

6.1.2 Assigning IP Address with arp & ping
The NIC must be on the same network segment as the workstation that you are using to configure it. The TCP/IP stack must be installed and operating.
Chapter 6

See 6.1.3 Assigning the IP Address with BOOTP for details on using BOOTP instead of ARP to assign IP addresses. 1. 2. From Windows, enter the MS-DOS box. At the command prompt type:
>ping <any valid IP address on your network - not the NIC>

Recycle the power on the printer (Di250/Di350 with Pi3500), or let the NIC reset itself. The NIC will produce a status report that should include the entered IP address. When the NIC is up again, type the following at the command prompt:
>ping <NIC IP address>

(continue until you get a reply)

Note
• This only enters the IP address; you must use the Telnet facility or the Web pages accessed by MAP or a Web Browser to complete the IP setup for networks where subnets are used. See 6.3 Running Telnet, for instructions on how to enter the other IP parameters.

6.1.3 Assigning the IP Address with BOOTP
BOOTP programs use the BOOTP protocol. The NIC must be on the same network segment as the workstation that you are using to configure it. The TCP/IP stack must be installed and operating. The BOOTP program will not work in a Windows PC Operating as a DHCP Server. The BOOTP program you should use depends on the version of Windows on the workstation.
BOOTPL16.exe Work with a 16 Bit TCP/IP Stack (Windows For

Workgroup).
BOOTPL32.exe Work with a 32 Bit TCP/IP Stack (Windows NT &

Windows 95).

your workstation’s hard disk. Reset the printer (Di250/Di350 with Pi3500).

Note
• The NIC issues the BOOTP request for a finite period of time. The NIC must be freshly reset for this program to work.

Run the program. Pull down the Admin menu to Configure option. Enter the IP address that you want to assign to the NIC, its Subnet Mask (make sure it matches what you are using on your subnet), the Default gateway (your router’s IP address), and the MAC Address of the NIC (listed on the status report as MAC Address). Use colons as delimiters as shown on the status report rather than the dashes that Windows uses. 10. Click on Go. You will get a message that the program is Verifying, and then it will tell you whether the unit is active or not. 11. Wait for about five minutes for the NIC to reset. The newly entered IP information should be shown on the status report. 12. Enter the MS-DOS box. At the command prompt type:

6.1.4 Setting Up IP and lpr Parameters
The NIC provides for a setup connection via the standard Telnet port. To be able to make changes to a unit with factory default settings, you must logon as “sysadm”. The default password is also “sysadm” (This password can be changed from the Telnet utility). Section 6.3 Running Telnet, describes the use of the Telnet utility. 1. Telnet to the NIC (the login and password are both sysadm). 2. Turn off the protocols that you are not utilizing (option 3). 3. Setup the subnet mask and default gateway for the NIC if applicable (option 1). (If you used BOOTP, this will already have been done). 4. Exit, Save and Reset the NIC You can also use the HTML pages accessible via MAP or a Web Browser to setup lpr. The password to change parameters with the Web pages is the same as the Telnet password.

6.1.5 Creating an lpr Queue on the Workstation
The method for setting up lpr queue depends on the Windows version running on the workstation. Confirm the Windows version on the workstation and use one of the setup procedures below. Windows for Workgroup Once you install the spooler onto the workstation, the setup program will create a group and icon. 1. Double click on the spooler icon. 2.

6.2 UNIX Printing
Note
• This manual cover general settings only. See your UNIX system manual for full details about setting procedures.

The NIC can support UNIX TCP/IP printing in two modes: • Host-based lpd where a supplied line printer daemon is running on one or more workstations and print data is communicated to the NIC via a TCP/IP port or, Printer-based lpd where the printer appears as a host running a line printer daemon.



In general, printer-based lpd is easiest to use on BSD UNIX systems, requiring an entry in the printcap file once the NIC has its IP information. Some UNIX System V systems have restrictions on support of remote LPD printers, requiring that the host-based LPD approach be used. For many operating systems, you have the option of using host-resident printing or print server-resident printing. Each mode has certain advantages. •
Chapter 6

The host-resident method can print the username and filename on its banner page; the print server-resident method prints a banner page with the host’s name. The print server-resident method requires you to configure the printer only one time, when you install the print server. The hostresident method requires that a printing daemon be installed on every host that you want to be able to print jobs.



TCP/IP Configuration

Note
• The NIC will also operate with other host-resident print supervisor/ spooler programs that present a print image to the printer over a TCP/ IP port. The base TCP/IP port number can be changed via Telnet, or the NIC HTML setup pages accessed by MAP or a Web Browser. Remember, the actual port is always one higher than the base port number. The status report indicates the actual port number.

6-10

6.2 UNIX Printing
Between the host-based and printer-based TCP/IP printing capabilities, the NIC works with: • • • • • All UNIX systems that support lpd System V Rel. 4 (on 386 platforms) DEC ULTRIX RISC Versions 4.3 and 4.4 DEC OSF/1 Versions 2.0 and 3.0 Solaris: Version 1.1.3 (SunOS 4.1.3), Version 2.3 (SunOS 5.3), Version 2.4, and Version 2.5 • • • • HP-UX Series 700 and 800 Version 9.01 and Version 10.0 IBM AIX Version 3.2.5 SCO UNIX Version 3.2 AS/400

The CD-ROM also includes source code that you can recompile hostbased code for configuring on other System V platforms.

6.2 UNIX Printing

6.2.1 Configuring the IP Address on the NIC
Regardless of the printing mode selected, the NIC must be given IP address and routing parameters. You can configure the IP address for the NIC in one of the following ways: • • • • • Use MAP, as described in Chapter 3. Use AppleTalk NIManage utility program, as described in Chapter 5. Use the BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol). Use the RARP (Reverse ARP) capability (Ethernet II frame type only). Use arp and ping capability.

For each method, you will need to provide the MAC Address of the NIC. The MAC Address is the 12-character code that is printed under MAC Address on the status report each time the printer is turned on. You can use the BOOTP, RARP, or ping procedures only when the Print Server is in its factory default state (no IP information entered). After the Print Server has an IP address, you must use the Telnet utility, the AppleTalk NIManage utility for the Macintosh, or the NIC HTML pages accessed through the MAP or a Web Browser to change an IP address, Subnet Mask and Default gateway.
Chapter 6

6.2.1.1 Using BOOTP
The BOOTP daemon is a native TCP/IP option for configuring the IP address of a diskless network device. To communicate the IP address, use the following procedure: 1. Turn off the printer. 2. Log in as superuser (root) on a host on the same subnet as the print server. However, if the server resides on another subnet, complete this procedure to store the IP address in the print server. Reconnect the print server anywhere on the network, and then use Telnet or the HTML pages accessed by MAP or a Web Browser to change the IP address. See 6.3 Running Telnet, for instructions on using Telnet. 3. Find the MAC Address of the NIC. The address is printed on the status report each time you turn on the printer.

TCP/IP Configuration

6-12

6.2 UNIX Printing
4. Edit the hosts file (usually /etc/hosts) or use NIS or DIS to add the IP address and NIC’s node name. See the network administrator for the IP address. For example, you would type in the following for NIC named printfast with an IP address of 192.9.200.200:
192.9.200.200 printfast

5. 6.

Stop the BOOTP daemon if it is running. Edit the /etc/BOOTPtab file and add the following information:
<NIC_host name>:\ :ht = <hardware type>:\ :ha = <MAC Address>:\ :ip = <IP address>:\ :sm = <subnet mask>:\ :gw = <gateway address>:

For example, for an RFC 1048 system:
printfast:\ :ht = :ha = :ip = :sm = :gw = ether:\ 00206BAABBCC:\ 192.9.200.200:\ 255.255.255.0:\ 192.9.200.254: Chapter 6 TCP/IP Configuration

If running with a more recent BOOTP implementation, such as with SCO UNIX, add:
:vm = rfc1048:

The same information uses the following format on an RFC 951 system:
host printfast htype 1 haddr iaddr bootfile 00:20:6b:aa:bb:cc 192.9.200.200 defaultboot

7.

Start the BOOTP daemon by typing:
#bootpd -s

6-13

6.2 UNIX Printing
8. Check the printer to verify that the NIC is connected to the network. Turn on the printer. 9. Wait until the printer powers up and finishes initializing to allow enough time for the IP address to become known and to be saved in NVRAM. The NIC should reinitialize itself. 10. After the NIC has been reinitialized, send a ping command to verify that the print server obtained its IP address. For example:
#ping 192.9.200.200

If the print server has the address, the result is a confirmation message:
192.9.200.200 is alive

11. Remove, or comment out your changes to the /etc/BOOTPtab file. 12. Stop the BOOTP daemon and, if you want it to run, restart it.

6.2.1.2 Using rarp
The RARP (Reverse ARP) allows network devices to query a server for their IP addresses on start-up. For this procedure, there needs to be a workstation with a rarp server. To store the IP address, use the following procedure: 1. Turn off the printer. 2. Log in as superuser (root) on the rarp server in the same subnet on the print server. However, if the server resides on another subnet, complete this procedure to store the IP address in the print server. Reconnect the print server anywhere on the network, and then use the Telnet or the HTML pages accessed by MAP or a Web Browser to adjust the IP parameters for the subnet on which the NIC is to operate. 3. Find the MAC Address of the NIC. The address is printed on the status report when you power on the printer. 4. Edit the hosts file (usually /etc/hosts) or use NIS or DIS to add the IP Address and NIC’s node name. See the network administrator for the IP address. For example, you would type in the following for a print server with the name of printfast:
192.9.200.200 printfast

00:20:6b:aa:bb:cc printfast

6. 7. 8.

9.

If the rarp daemon is running, stop it and restart it. Verify that the daemon is running. Check the printer to see that the print server is connected to the network. Turn on the printer. Wait until the printer powers up and finishes initializing to allow enough time for the IP address to become known and to be saved in NVRAM. The NIC should then reset itself. After the NIC has reset, send a ping command to verify that the print server obtained its IP address. For example:
#ping 192.9.200.200

If the print server has the address, the result is a confirmation message:
192.9.200.200 is alive

10. Remove, or comment out your changes to the /etc/ethers file. 11. Stop the rarp daemon and, if you want it to run, restart it.

6.2.1.3 Using arp & ping
Use the following procedure to enter the IP Address: 1. Turn off the printer. 2. Log in as superuser (root) on a host on the same subnet as the print server. However, if the server resides on another subnet, complete this procedure to store the IP address in the print server. Reconnect the print server anywhere on the network, and then use Telnet or the HTML pages accessed by MAP or a Web Browser to change the IP address. See 6.3 Running Telnet, for instructions on using Telnet. 3. Find the MAC Address of the NIC. The address is printed on the status report each time you turn the printer on.

4. Edit the hosts file (usually /etc/hosts) or use NIS or DIS to add the IP address and print server’s node name. See the network administrator for the IP address. For example, you would type in the following for a NIC with a name of printfast and an IP address of 192.9.200.200:
192.9.200.200 printfast

5.

Add an entry to the arp cache for the Print Server’s IP address and MAC Address. For example:
#arp -s 192.9.200.200 00:20:6b:aa:bb:cc

6. 7.

Check the printer to see that the NIC is connected to the network. Turn on the printer. Send a ping command the NIC. For example:
#ping 192.9.200.200

or
#ping printfast

8.
Chapter 6

The NIC will not respond to this ping command but it will read its IP address from the packets. Turn the printer off and back on again and then send the ping command again to verify that the print server obtained its IP address. If the NIC has the address, the result is a confirmation message:
192.9.200.200 is alive

6.2.2 lpd Printing
lpd is an implementation of the standard UNIX line printer daemon which lets you print across a TCP/IP network without the need to install software on your workstation with all filtering and banners done by NIC. Remote printing uses the same commands (lpr, lpq, lpc) as local printing. The process begins when the lpr call finds a printer on a remote system by looking at the remote (rm) entry in the /etc/printcap file for that printer. lpr handles a print job for a remote printer by opening a connection with the lpd process on the remote system and sending the data file (followed by the control file containing control information for this job) to the remote system. The printer-based lpd then filters the data and prints the job according to information contained in the control file and its own printcap file. NIC lpd recognizes the format of a certain printer emulations and filters the data, if possible, so it can be printed on the printer type you specify. You can indicate to the NIC lpd what type of printer is attached to by either: 1. Accepting the default port setting (PCL, PostScript and other), or 2. Changing the listed emulations via the Telnet or the HTML pages accessed by MAP or a Web Browser.
Chapter 6 TCP/IP Configuration

The following sections give specific lpd setup instructions for various systems.

6.2.2.1 Setting Up a BSD Remote Printer to Use lpd
To set up a remote printer on the host that sends jobs to NIC using printer resident lpd, add an entry to the /etc/printcap file on your host for each printer you use. The steps are described below.

6-17

6.2 UNIX Printing
1. Open the /etc/printcap file. Make an entry naming the NIC as the remote host and PORT1 as the remote printer name. A typical printcap entry is shown below:
<printer_name>:\

(for example, printer1)
:lp=:\ :rm=<remote_host>:\

(for example, name as entered in /etc/hosts)
:rp=PORT1:\ :sd=/usr/spool/lpd/<printer_name>:

(for example, spool directory on system used to spool data and control files) This sends jobs spooled at /usr/spool/lpd/<printer_name> to the printer designated <printer_name> to be printed at port 1 (the internal connection to the printer) of the NIC designated as <remote_host>. 2. Create the spooling directory. For example, type:
#mkdir /usr/spool/lpd/<printer_name>

3.

TCP/IP Configuration

Once the NIC has its IP information loaded, the following steps are necessary for Host-Side TCP/IP printing: 1. Load the print server software on your workstation. It is presented as a tar file on the CD-ROM. 2. Run the appropriate installation script, if available. 3. Complete the configuration for your operating system.

6-24

6.2 UNIX Printing 6.2.3.1 Loading the Software
The following procedures are only necessary when using the supplied host-based lpr capability. Loading the software is not necessary if printer-based lpr is used. 1. Log in as superuser (root) to the system that spools directly to the print server. 2. Insert the CD-ROM in the host drive. 3. Go to or create the directory in which you want to install the software. For example:
#mkdir /usr/MLT_install

Note
• If you already have a NIC at your site and you are now installing another one, delete the files in the installation directory (not /usr/ nic). If these files remain, they can prevent the installation of a subsequent print server.

4. 5.

Use the tar command to load the software from the CD-ROM. After performing the tar, the system will display a list of NIC files copied by the tar. At this point, go to the specific section for your system for instructions on running the installation script.

6.2.3.2 Script Selection of Filters
There will be certain options in executing the script for various systems. One of the questions posed by the install script is whether the printer is a PostScript printer. If you answered no to this question, the install script uses an input filter (infilter) that supplies CR/LF translation to print ASCII files on a PCL printer. If you answered yes to this question, your printcap file will reference psfilter which offers easy ASCII-to-PostScript conversion. Normal PostScript format files are not affected. Proprietary and public domain filters are available for broader filtering capabilities.

6-25

6.2 UNIX Printing 6.2.3.3 Manual Selection of Filters
The NIC ships with an input filter called psfilter and an output filter called psbanner to print PostScript banners. You may wish to change infilter or outfilter entries in the /etc/ printcap file. The following is a sample printcap entry using these filters:
<printer_name> | NIC printer:\ :lp=/dev/nic/<printer_name>:\ :if=/usr/nic/psfilter:\ :of=/usr/nic/psbanner:\ :sd=/usr/spool/<printer_name>:

The script creates a printcap entry for the printer just configured. The screen displays the entry and asks if you want the script to append it to your /etc/printcap file. See below for a sample printcap file. Type yes or no and press Enter . If you type no, you may perform manual edits. In your /etc/printcap file, be sure not to change the name of the device given NIC in Step 2. You must reference the same lp: entry you wrote on the lp command line of the printcap file. For example:
<printer_name> | NIC printer:\ :lp=/dev/<printer_name>:\ :if=/usr/nic/infilter:\ :sd=/usr/spool/<printer_name>:

All printcap entries must be prefaced with a tab except for the entry on the first line. 7. The script creates a spool directory in /usr/spool and starts the daemon for the newly configured printer. It also displays the path used if you ever need to restart the daemon. For example:

Like all BSD systems, ULTRIX uses the /etc/printcap file to configure a printer. The interface to the installation script is the same for all BSD systems, however, the printcap entry is different. If you use the printcap entry generated automatically by the installation script, this will be transparent to you.

6.2.3.6 Installing and Printing on the HP/UX System
1. 2. Run the Installation script by typing:
#nicinst Chapter 6 TCP/IP Configuration

5.

You are asked to OK this configuration. Type yes or no and press Enter . The script starts the daemon for the newly configured printer automatically. It also displays the path used should you ever need to restart the daemon. In the following example, the path would be:
/usr/nic/lpr_print /dev/nic/<printer_name> printfast 10001 &

This example reflects names supplied to the script earlier. When the installation script is complete, you must configure the printer and make it known to the lp system. The HP/UX lp system uses the lpadmin maintenance command to configure a printer (there is not a /etc/printcap file). The specific commands to do this are:
#lpadmin -p <printer_name> -v /dev/nic/ <printer_name> #enable <printer_name> #accept <printer_name>

TCP/IP Configuration

Chapter 6

You can also use other options for the lpadmin command. See your system documentation for details.

Note
• The printer name must be the same as the one you entered during the NIC installation. HP supplies the sam program as an alternative to configure the printer.

6-30

6.2 UNIX Printing
When using sam, specify everything as if the printer were directly connected to /dev/lprprinter/<printer_name>. The software installed with your HP system can satisfy most of your printing needs. HP supplies ASCII-to-PostScript filters and the system will invoke them automatically if you define the content type of the printer as PostScript. The HP/UX lp system also supplies interface scripts that produce PostScript banners. Use the lpfilter command to define new filters and content types if necessary. The full power and flexibility of the lp print service is now available to you. The fact that you are printing across the network is completely transparent.

6.2.3.7 Installing and Printing on a System V (Solaris 2.X)/System V Rel.4 386-based Machine
Installation and setup is exactly the same for System V Solaris and SVR4 i386-based machines. Solution uses a network direct filter called nicfilter. The system invokes nicfilter directly from the printer interface file. To load the software, create a /usr/nic directory and tar the CD-ROM to it. 1. Go to the /usr/nic directory by entering the following:
#cd /usr/nic

2.

Run the Installation script by typing:
#nicinst Chapter 6 TCP/IP Configuration

Once the operating system has been identified, the script downloads the files for your particular system, to the /usr/nic directory, and prompts you for information as needed. 3. At the prompt, type:
#cp /usr/spool/lp/model/standard /usr/nic/ port1_interface

6-31

6.2 UNIX Printing Note
• Use of this default interface in most cases will suffice for generic or routine printing of most PostScript, PCL, and ASCII files. In order to utilize a printer specific interface other than the default interface script (named standard), you must have a copy of that printer interface edited and installed in the /usr/nic directory.

Next, you will need to edit the printer interface program you created in step 3. 4. At the prompt, type:
#cd /usr/nic

and using your favorite editor, open and edit the port1_interface file. 5. Search on FILTER=” and insert the following line above or below the # FILTER=”${LPCAT} section of the file. Remark out (using the # sign) any other FILTER entries present in this section of the file.
FILTER=“/usr/nic/infilter | /usr/nic/ nicfilter printer_server_name 10001”

Note
• The <printer_server_name> must be the same as the one present in the /etc/hosts file. Optional arguments to be inserted after the 10001 entry and before the trailing “are ${banner}, ${user_name}, ${request_ID}, and ${files}. For further explanation of these and the statement above, refer to the System 5 Release 4 System Administration Manual. Chapter 6 TCP/IP Configuration

6. 7.

Save the file and close the editor. You need to configure the host-side printer using lpadmin. Type the following:
#lpadmin -p <printer name> -v /dev/null -i /usr/nic/port1_interface

6-32

6.2 UNIX Printing Note
• lpadmin configures the printer name and associates it with a given device and printer interface program. There is no /etc/printcap file involved with this method of configuration.

8.

Next, you need to initialize the printer Type the following commands:
#accept <printer name> #enable <printer name>

Note
• After each entry, lpadmin should provide an acknowledgment of the command invoked.

9.

Type the command:
#lp -d<printer name> /etc/hosts

Check for output, or type the following:
#lpstat <printer name>

or
#lpstat -t Chapter 6 TCP/IP Configuration

6.2.3.8 Installing & Printing on a SCO UNIX System
Installation and setup is similar for HP/UX and SCO UNIX systems. The NIC solution uses a network direct filter called nicfilter. The system invokes nicfilter directly from the printer interface file. After completing software download in Section 6.2.3.1 Loading the Software, you must configure the printer and make it known to the lp system. Follow the steps below: 1. Run the Installation script by typing:

/usr/nic/lpr_print /dev/nic/<printer_name> printfast 10001 &

TCP/IP Configuration

This example reflects names supplied the script earlier. When the installation script is complete, you must still configure the printer and make it known to the lp system.

6-34

6.2 UNIX Printing
The SCO UNIX lp system uses the lpadmin maintenance command to configure a printer (there is no /etc/printcap file). The specific commands to do this are:
#lpadmin -p <printer_name> -v /dev/nic/ <printer_name>

Note
• Your host may require you to specify the model by using the -i command. #enable <printer_name> #accept <printer_name>

You can also use other options for the lpadmin command. See your system documentation for details. Note that the printer name must be the same as the one you entered during NIC installation. SCO supplies the sam program as an alternative to configure the printer. When using sam, specify everything as if the printer were directly connected to /dev/nic/<printer_name>. The software installed with your SCO system can satisfy most of your printing needs. SCO supplies ASCII-to-PostScript filters and the system will invoke them automatically if you define the content type of the printer as PostScript. The SCO UNIX lp system also supplies interface scripts that produce PostScript banners. Use the lpfilter command to define new filters and content types if necessary. The full power and flexibility of the lp print service is now apparent. Your printing across the network is completely transparent.

6.2.3.9 Installing and Printing on an AIX RISC System/6000
The AIX printing subsystem is driven by the qdaemon program. The qdaemon uses configuration information stored in the /usr/lpd/ qconfig file to manage queues and route jobs to the proper devices. This information includes entries for each virtual printer and physical device known to the system.

6-35

TCP/IP Configuration

Chapter 6

6.2 UNIX Printing
An AIX virtual printer is simply a high level software view of a data stream, queue, and device that controls how a given job will be processed. A different virtual printer should be defined for each data stream that a real printer supports. For example, you would use different virtual printers for PostScript and PCL jobs even though they are destined for the same physical printer. Configuring a NIC printer on an AIX system approximates configuration of a local printer as closely as possible. The only difference is that the physical device associated with your NIC printer must be a named pipe used by the print daemon to route data to NIC. The most straightforward way to add a printer to your system is: 1. Run the Install script by typing:
#nicinst

The script automatically downloads the correct NIC utilities for your particular system and prompts you for information as needed. 2. “What is the node name of the Print Server unit?” Type the node name entered in /etc/hosts, For example: Type printfast and press Enter . 3.

Your screen will now display the information you provided to the install script. For example:
Node name of the NIC: printfast Printer name to be used: <printer_name> The printer is attached on: PORT 1

TCP/IP Configuration

You are asked to OK this configuration. Type yes or no and press Enter . 5. Configure a virtual printer using <printer_name> as the physical device, where <printer_name> is the same printer name chosen during install.

6-36

6.2 UNIX Printing
6. 7. Shut down the qdaemon using the command
#stopsrc -s qdaemon

8.

Edit /usr/lpd/qconfig to change the special file for device <printer_name> from /dev/<printer_name> to /dev/nic/ <printer_name>. Restart the daemon with:
#startsrc -s qdaemon

The installation script then will create the named pipe and starts the supplied print daemon using the printer name and NIC information you supplied. Since the AIX System Management Interface Tool (SMIT) will not accept a named pipe as a printer device, the installation script also creates a null character device in /dev/ <printer_name>. 6.2.3.9.1 Virtual Printer Commands Virtual printers can be added either through SMIT or through the mkvirprt command, entering the device name <printer_name> for configuration purposes. During this process you also select a particular printer type for the new printer, which inherits the set of predefined attributes for that printer type. In most cases, this set of attributes will be sufficient, but it can be changed either through SMIT or by using the chvirprt command. If you need more extensive changes on your printer, see the AIX RISC System/6000 documentation for assistance. After the virtual printer has been added, there will be a stanza in /usr/lpd/qconfig for device <printer_name> that looks like the following:
<printer_name>: file=/dev/<printer_name> backend=/usr/lpd/piobe

Edit /usr/qconfig and change
file=/dev/<printer_name> to file=/dev/nic/ <printer_name>

6.5 Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol

6.5 Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
DHCP is a service much like bootp that provides a method for assignment and maintenance of IP addresses. The NIC is able to obtain IP information from this service. There are two user settable variables related to the DHCP function. These are accessible in the TCP section of Network Administration, in the HTML pages. 1. DHCP enable; and 2. Use IP info in NVRAM a. If DHCP is not enabled, the NIC sends no DHCP requests under any circumstances. If the NIC does not have an IP address stored, or if “Use IP info in NVRAM” is OFF, the NIC issues BOOTP requests, etc. b. If DHCP is enabled, the NIC sends DHCP requests when the NIC is reset or on power up, provided that the NIC does not have an IP address stored, or that “Use IP info in NVRAM” is OFF. If the IP address cannot be obtained by DHCP, an attempt to obtain the IP address using BOOTP and RARP is made. c. If DHCP is enabled, and the NIC had an IP address in NVRAM, and “Use IP info in NVRAM” is ON, then the NIC uses the IP information from NVRAM and there is no DHCP activity on the part of the NIC. The factory default is with both DHCP enable ON and Use IP info in NVRAM ON. In this case, the NIC issues DHCP requests if it does not already have IP identification information stored in its NVRAM.

Chapter 6

TCP/IP Configuration

Important!
• If DHCP and the NIC is in the default mode (“Use IP info in NVRAM”= ON), you must establish a permanent lease or reservation for the NIC in the DHCP server. Failure to do this may cause the same address to be given out to another host.

The NIC has two LED status indicators: amber and green. The amber LED generally indicates job activity; it flashes when a print job is being communicated to the NIC; it is off when no activity is occurring. The green LED indicates the operating condition of the NIC when it is powered on during normal operation. The following table provides the conditions that this LED may indicate.

7.2 Status/Configuration Report
The Status/Configuration report is sent as a print job to the printer when the print server is powered on. For example, the report on the next page shows the configuration of the print server immediately before the report is printed. Some printers also allow you to use a command from the front panel that produce a Status/Configuration report. It is strongly recommended that you review this report immediately after installation and any time the setup has been changed. If the report does not include a protocol that was configured, check that the procedure was done properly.

You can cause the NIC to restore all parameters to factory default values, so the NIC appears just as it came from the factory. You may choose to do this when the NIC is moved to a new location where the environment (NetWare file servers, IP subnets, and so on) is different. This process is called “Reset to Factory”. It can be done with the standard Telnet or Web pages (accessed via MAP or a Web Browser) utility. However, if network access is not possible, the following method may be used.

Operation and Troubleshooting

Make sure the printer is operating properly by causing it to generate a test page. See your printer's owner's manual for instructions on generating a test page. • •
Is the printer on-line?

Verify that the printer is on-line or else nothing will print.
Did you get a NIC status page?

On power-up, the Print Server sends a status page which may contain information that can be useful for troubleshooting. Keep the status page available until a problem is resolved.

Note
• The start-up Configuration and Status Page from the NIC may be disabled via the maintenance access provisions.

2.

Check the NIC’s LED status indicator to ensure that there is no error condition. See 7.1 LED Status Indicator, for more information. 3. Check the status report to see what protocols are enabled and active. See the appropriate chapter to confirm that you have installed and configured your network protocol correctly for the NIC. See 7.2 Status/Configuration Report, for an example of the status report. 4. If you added, changed, or removed any new hardware on the network, verify that it was installed correctly. 5. If you added any new software applications, make sure the program is compatible and installed correctly on the network. See your network protocol documentation to confirm. 6. Determine if other users can print. If they can’t and they are all on the same NOS, go to the troubleshooting section for that NOS. When you have determined the nature of the problem, use the checklists in the next section.

Chapter 7 Operation and Troubleshooting

7.5.1 Troubleshooting Network Hardware Connections
Be sure that the NIC has properly selected the connector type that you are using. • • Check that the network connector is plugged into the RJ connector on the NIC. Try another cable to make sure you do not have a bad cable.

If you are using a 10BaseT concentrator hub that does not support the link signal, use Manual Ethernet Port selection instead of the factory default or the Automatic Ethernet Port selection. Refer to Appendix A.

7.5.2 Troubleshooting NetWare Protocol
It is recommended to use MAP to get the NetWare setup and parameter values. If you have not resolved the problem after running MAP, go through the checklists in this section.

7.5.2.1 NetWare Checklist
• Is the print server name entered correctly? The factory-default name is MLT_<serial number>. The serial number is located on the NIC. Did you assign print queues to the printer? It is recommended to assign each print queues to only one NICconnected printer. If print queues are assigned to other network printers, the print jobs may be going to an other network printer.



7-7

7.5 Troubleshooting Checklists

Chapter 7

Did you assign the printer to the type Remote Other /Unknown? If the PCONSOLE settings are correct, the connection between the printer and network may have been broken. Turn the printer (Di250/Di350 with Pi3500) off and, using PCONSOLE, wait for the status message Not Connected. Turn the printer on and the status should change to Waiting for Job.

Operation and Troubleshooting

7.5.2.2 File Server Checklist
• • • • Is there enough disk space on the file server and is it running? Is the correct file server associated with the printer? Use PCONSOLE to check this. Did you have the proper rights to configure the printer? Are the File Server and the Print Server communicating? Run NetWare’s COMCHECK utility from any network workstation to check this. Are there enough user positions on the File Server? The Print Server function logs on as a user.



7.5.2.3 Workstation Checklist
• • • • Is the network loaded onto the workstation? See the NetWare documentation. Is the application set up to print to the printer? For instance, are you using the correct driver? Is the workstation connected to the correct print queue? Print a file and verify that the file goes to the queue. Are the print queues assigned to the NIC-connected printer also assigned to another network printer? If they are, the print jobs may be going to that printer. From PCONSOLE, enter a sample print job directly into an assigned queue. Does the job become Active? Is job printed?

7.5 Troubleshooting Checklists

Is AUTO ENDCAP enabled?

7.5.2.4 NIC Configuration Checklist
If all your hardware connections are correct, check the following: • Use MAP to check the status of the print server. The Report Print Server Status screen shows the status for the selected NIC. This report includes a status of file servers and queues assigned to a printer along with a description of any problems. The printer may not be assigned to the correct print queues. Use PCONSOLE to direct print jobs to the correct queues, then check to see if the print job is in the queue. If devices were added or changed, use PCONSOLE to make sure you configured the new devices correctly. Make sure the NIC's name has been entered correctly. If you changed the name in MAP Program, you must also change the name in PCONSOLE before you can print. Use PCONSOLE to check the Printer Status. Make sure it is not stopped or paused. You cannot use PCONSOLE Version 1.0 to configure the NIC. Contact Novell for an upgrade.

7.5.2.5 Printer Server/File Server/Printer Checklist
Check the following to see if: • • The NIC can not log into the file server, or cannot service jobs from a File Server. The Print Server name is listed on that File Server, or cannot service jobs from a File Server.

7-9

Operation and Troubleshooting

Chapter 7

Auto Endcap lets you send data to a network printer. Use PRINTCON to check. If not, enable it.

7.5 Troubleshooting Checklists

Chapter 7

The password assigned to the NIC through PCONSOLE matches the password assigned through MAP Program. Use MAP to update the password stored in the network Print Server’s memory. The print job is in the print queue and waiting to be printed. Use PCONSOLE to check if the print jobs are being sent to the printer.



Operation and Troubleshooting

7.5.2.6 Workstation to NIC Connection Checklist
To make sure the workstation is communicating with the NIC, check the following: • Print a file from the workstation and make sure the print job gets to the print queue using PCONSOLE. If the print job does get to the queue, the problem is not with the workstation/print server connection. Use CAPTURE to send data to the printer from a workstation software application. See your NetWare print server manual for information. Make sure another printer is not taking the print jobs from the queues BEFORE the NIC can service the job. To do this, disable the other printer until you can verify the NIC-connected printer setup.





7.5.2.7 NIC Loses Its File Server Connection
If the NIC loses its connection to the file server, it can take approximately 5 to 10 minutes to reconnect. If the connection is not made after a reasonable amount of time, check the error conditions to troubleshoot the problem.

7.5.2.8 Unable to Print from a Different Context
The NIC does not support printing from a context different from the context you are installed upon. If you want to do this, you must

7-10

7.5 Troubleshooting Checklists
create an alias queue. See your NetWare Manual for more information.

7.5.3 Troubleshooting AppleTalk Protocol
• Is the Macintosh computer connected to the network through Ethernet, and, has the Macintosh AppleTalk driver been selected? Go to the Control Panel, then go to Networks to check. Did you select the correct NIC and correct zone? Is AppleTalk enabled on the Macintosh? Use Chooser to check this. If you are on a network with multiple zones, is the zone correct? Did you select the correct printer driver in Chooser? You must first select the printer icon and then select the printer name.

• • • •

Note
• Not all printers can communicate with the default Macintosh driver.

• •

If you placed the printer in a new zone, did you reselect the zone? Are other printers with similar names in Chooser? Make sure you chose the NIC-connected printer.

The NIC will normally automatically configure the network configuration without the need to access internal jumpers. However, there are certain jumpers on the card that you may have to access under certain circumstances. If you need to change the jumpers, follow the steps in this section.
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS FOR STATIC SENSITIVE DEVICES The Network Interface Card is normally contained within the printer which acts to protect sensitive components from damage due to electrostatic discharge (ESD) during normal operation. When performing installation procedures, however, take proper static control precautions to prevent damage to equipment. Appendix A

Make sure you do not have the printer plugged into a wall outlet. If it is, unplug the power cord BEFORE you open the unit. Remove the NIC according to the printer instructions.

A.2 Reset to Factory Default

A.2 Reset to Factory Default
The NIC may be restored to factory default conditions by jumper (OP2). The function of OP2 is to reconfigure NVRAM. This is done when a unit is moved from one site to another and should be restored to as “as-new” condition. If the unit is powered up with a jumper in the OP2, the board will go into a “reset all parameters to Factory Default” state. This will be indicated by the three quick green flashes followed by the alternating red and green indications (once per second rate). This special indicator sequence means that the NVRAM parameters have been reset to factory default values. Now turn off power and shift the OP2 jumper to the default position. The unit will operate normally when you turn the power on again.

A.3 Address Select
Access to the shared memory interface by the printer can be within one of two memory address blocks. They are identified as CS1 and CS2. If just one card is used, the CS1 space is used. The address space is selected by JP2. With the jumper set to pins 1-2, CS2 is selected. With the jumper set to pins 2-3, CS1 is selected.

A.4 BUS Handshake
The bus handshake signal may be altered to match with your printer controller. Normal handshake signal is WAIT- signal (OP3 set to pins 2 and 3). Check your printer manual to determine if your controller requires the alternate handshake signal ACK/RDY- (OP3 set to pins 1 and 2).
