You may down-load this or other technical information over the Internet by accessing the Axis WWW Home Page at http://www.axis.com/.
PAGE 27
Section 2: Basic Installation Basic Set Up for TCP/IP To establish communication with the TCP/IP network, an Internet address and a host name must be mapped to the Ethernet/Node address of your AXIS 570/670 MIO. To do this, you must firstly acquire an unused Internet address and decide upon an appropriate and unique name for your AXIS 570/670 MIO. This information then must be included into your system host table. The procedures for doing this are described below.
PAGE 28
Section 2: Basic Installation The Internet Address and Host Name in Your Host Table Enter the Internet address and Host name into your host table using the following step-by-step instructions: 1. Acquire an unused Internet address from your Network Administrator and choose a unique name for your AXIS 570/670 MIO. 2. Add the Internet address and host name to your system host table.
PAGE 29
Section 2: Basic Installation Set the Internet Address and Host Name You may set the Internet address of the AXIS 570/670 MIO in five different ways, using either ARP, RARP, BOOTP, DHCP or via the printer’s Front Panel. The main characteristics of each of these methods are described below: • ARP - available in UNIX, Windows 95, and Windows NT. This is generally considered to be the easiest method although it does require the Internet address for each new device to be down-loaded individually.
PAGE 30
Section 2: Basic Installation Notes: ❏ Please note that although it is recommended practice to refer to the host name when accessing your AXIS 570/670 MIO, it is perfectly acceptable to replace this name with the Internet address in all instances. Indeed, this becomes a necessity when: • the host name has not been included in your system host table • attempting to use the ARP command in a Windows 95 or Windows NT environment. The latter point is demonstrated in the first of the examples below.
PAGE 31
Section 2: Basic Installation AXIS 670 Token Ring Print Server: Start a DOS window. Type the following command: arp -s 802.5 ping arp -d Example: arp -s 802.5 192.168.3.191 00-02-31-48-00-61 ping 192.168.3.191 arp -d <192.168.3.191> The host will return Reply from 192.168.3.191... or some similar message. This indicates that the address has been set and the communication is established.
PAGE 32
Section 2: Basic Installation Using ARP in UNIX You may also use the ARP method for downloading the Internet address within a UNIX environment: AXIS 570 MIO Ethernet: Type the following command: arp -s temp ping Example: arp -s npsname 00:40:8c:10:00:86 temp ping npsname The host will return npsname is alive, or some similar message. This indicates that the address has been set and the communication is established.
PAGE 33
Section 2: Basic Installation Notes: ❏ The ARP command can vary between different UNIX systems. The 802.5 argument is only required for IBM AIX systems, and some BSD type systems expect the host name and node address in reverse order. Furthermore IBM AIX systems will require the additional argument ether.
PAGE 34
Section 2: Basic Installation AXIS 670 MIO Token Ring If you are a IBM AIX user, you will probably not have access to a RARP daemon. If this is the case, you may use either the ARP or BOOTP methods instead. 1. Append the following line to your Node Address table. This is typically performed using the command /etc/ethers: Where the node address is either the serial number found on the underside label of the AXIS 670 MIO or a Locally Administrated Address.
PAGE 35
Section 2: Basic Installation Using BOOTP in UNIX Follow these step-by-step procedure below to use the BOOTP method: 1. Append the following entry to your boot table. This is typically performed editing the file: /etc/bootptab: :ht=:vm=:\ :ha=:ip=:\ :sm=:gw= Example for AXIS 570 MIO /Ethernet: npsname:ht=ether:vm=rfc1048:\ :ha=00408c100086:ip=192.168.3.191:\ :sm=255.255.255.0:gw=192.168.1.
PAGE 36
Section 2: Basic Installation Using DHCP in Windows Follow these step-by-step procedure below to use the DHCP method: 1. Edit or create a scope in the DHCP manager of the DHCP daemon. The entries included into this scope should include the following: • range of IP addresses • subnet mask • lease duration • default router IP address 2. Activate the scope. 3. Enable the DHCP_ENB parameter in the Configuration file of the AXIS 570/670 MIO using AXIS NetPilot™ or any other preferred method.

Section 3: Setting Up - SNA SNA AXIS 570/670 MIO Set-up In most environments, the basic communication parameters need to be customized in order to establish a communication link to the host system. This includes setting the Host MAC Address and Host Name parameters in the Print Server. In this chapter you will find instructions on how to update these parameters. Parameters There are several parameters that control the basic operation of the SNA communication, and IBM printer emulation.
PAGE 63
SNA Section 3: Setting Up - SNA SNA Communication parameters The following list deals with the SNA host communication parameters that often need to be considered when installing the AXIS 570/670 MIO. • Control Unit Device Emulation Name: DEVICE_EMUL, Default: 3174 Environment: Mainframe and AS/400 Description: This parameter controls the Control Unit emulation mode. When set to 3174, the Print Server will appear as a 3174 PU 2.0 node to the host.
PAGE 64
Section 3: Setting Up - SNA SNA • LU Name Name: LU_NAME, Default: Axxxxxxx, where “xxxxxxx” is the last seven characters of the Print Server serial number, in reverse order, i.e. a print server with serial number 00 40 8C 1B 06 D4 will have the default LU Name A4D60B1C. This will be the name of the APPC device created during autoconfiguration. Environment: AS/400 only. 5494 emulation. Description: This parameter defines the LU name of the Print Server. The default value is normally used.

SNA However, should you require to integrate the AXIS 570/670 MIO into your host spooler you will now need to use the Axis automatic installation script axinstall.
PAGE 107
UNIX Section 8: Setting Up - UNIX Integration into the Host Printer Spooler To integrate the AXIS 570/670 MIO into the host printer spooler you will need to use the auto installation script axinstall, resident in the AXIS 570/670 MIO. You may install this software onto your host using FTP. To do this, login to the AXIS 570/670 MIO with this command: ftp where host name is the name assigned in your system host table, e.g. npserver. You will be prompted to enter your user id and password.
PAGE 108
Section 8: Setting Up - UNIX UNIX The axinstall script has now been up-loaded to your host. Execute the script with the command: sh axinstall You will be guided through the installation by a step-by-step procedure. During the installation you will be asked to select a print method; we suggest you choose LPD or, for more functionality, use the PROS filter or named pipe methods. Please refer to - Print Methods on TCP/IP Networks, on page 108 if you require guidance on the choice of print methods.
PAGE 109
UNIX Section 8: Setting Up - UNIX Print Methods on TCP/IP Networks The AXIS 570/670 MIO supports several different print methods in the TCP/IP environment. axinstall will suggest a print method suitable for your particular UNIX system, but you might want to use another method depending on your printing requirements (banner pages, status logging, etc.) The diagram below shows the alternative data paths taken by some of the UNIX print methods.
PAGE 110
Section 8: Setting Up - UNIX FTP UNIX The File Transfer Protocol is used for transferring files between hosts. Advantages: Uses industry standard network software on the host. Limitations: No printer status logging. In the case of BSD it may conflict with other input or output filters and does not allow both input and output filters. In System V no filters or interface programs can be used. PROS PROS A A protocol developed at Axis. Comes in two versions; named pipe (PROS A) and filter (PROS B).
PAGE 111
UNIX Section 8: Setting Up - UNIX Other UNIX Systems Most UNIX systems resemble either BSD or System V and so with some ingenuity, a solution can also be devised for other variants. If the system has BSD socket type networking support, then prosbsd (in the bsd directory of the AXIS 570/670 MIO) can be used as a starting point. It receives print data from stdin, and writes a log file to stderr. Nothing is written to stdout. Alternatively, FTP may be used.
PAGE 112
Section 8: Setting Up - UNIX Using Logical Printers to Customize your Printing UNIX The AXIS 570/670 MIO has a powerful facility for altering the print data. The following actions may be invoked from the AXIS 570/670 MIO: • The character set can be changed to suit the printer. • Strings can be added before and after the print data. • Strings within the print data can be substituted. • ASCII to PostScript conversion. • Redirection of print data to another printer if the printer is busy.
PAGE 113
UNIX Section 8: Setting Up - UNIX There are several different filters to choose from within the PR1_CSET Character Set Conversion. Refer to Appendix B - The Parameter List, on page 133. The output from the conversion filter is always IBM PC Set 2 (Code Page 437), and this is the character set the printer must be set up for. Example: The Problem: Your network contains three hosts using the character sets IBM PC Set 2, ISO 8859-2, and DEC.
PAGE 114
Section 8: Setting Up - UNIX Adding Strings Before and After Print Jobs UNIX These string functions provide a way to send printer control commands before and after each print job. They may be specified individually for each logical printer. All strings are entered as hexadecimal byte values. Example 1: Assume that the logical printer PR5 is configured as a PostScript printer.
PAGE 115
UNIX Section 8: Setting Up - UNIX All strings must be entered as hexadecimal byte values, and each match and substitute string must be preceded by a count byte. Refer to PR1_STR String Substitutions in Appendix B - The Parameter List, on page 133. Example 1: To replace the UNIX New Line (hex 0A) with an ASCII NewLine (hex 0D 0A) for logical printer PR1, edit the following entry in your config file: PR1_STR.
PAGE 116
Section 8: Setting Up - UNIX ASCII to Postscript Conversion UNIX The AXIS 570/670 MIO logical printers can translate ASCII print data into PostScript format. This makes it possible to print with a PostScript printer from a host that does not support PostScript. The conversion is selected by activating a filter that converts ASCII data into Postscript. This filter may be activated individually for each logical printer.
PAGE 117
UNIX Section 8: Setting Up - UNIX The PostScript font can be any font that is installed in the printer; if no font is specified, Courier will be used. Example: The following entries are needed in your config file to set up logical printer number 2 for ASCII to PostScript conversion with the stated printing characteristics. PR2_FILT.:POSTSCR (PostScript conversion on) PR2_SIZE.:LETTER (page size = letter) PR2_ORNT.:LANDS (orientation = landscape) PR2_FORM.
PAGE 118
Section 8: Setting Up - UNIX UNIX The following is an example of the entries needed in your config file to activate the hex dump mode for PR3: PR3_DUMP. : YES (switch on hex dump mode for logical printer PR3) Note: ❏ The page length for hex dump printouts is determined by the lines per page value of the PostScript page format parameter.
PAGE 119

Appendix C: Extended IBM Printer Emulation AXIS 570/ 670 MIO Appendix C Extended IBM Printer Emulation When printing from an IBM host, the AXIS 570/670 MIO allows you to make use of printer functions not found in standard IBM printers. This section gives an overview of some of these functions – please refer to the NPS Technical Reference for a complete description.
PAGE 151
AXIS 570/ 670 MIO Appendix C: Extended IBM Printer Emulation Hex Transparency The Transparency function allows you to send ASCII data to the printer directly from the host application. The data may be Postscript, PCL, HP-GL or any other language supported by the printer. This gives you access to all the features of the connected printer from within the IBM environment. When the percent and less-than characters (%<) are received, the AXIS 570/670 MIO will switch to hex transparency mode.
PAGE 152
Appendix C: Extended IBM Printer Emulation AXIS 570/ 670 MIO • number is the bar code definition number in the range 0 to 15. This number is used to refer to the definition when printing the bar code. • type is the predefined bar code type. Valid values are: Value Description Value Description CODE39 Code 39 CODE128 Code 128 UPCA UPC version A INT2OF5 2 of 5 Interleaved EAN8 EAN-8 CODABAR Codabar matrix EAN13 EAN-13 • width is the bar code module width in 1/1000 inch.
