5.5 Running NSCONFIG

The nsconfig utility sends the nicprint.conf file to the NIC to define or update the

information stored in the card's NVRAM. Use the following procedure to run nsconfig:

1. Change the current directory to /usr/nic.

2. Copy the original nicprint.conf file to a safe location for future use. A sample file is

shown in this section. Because this file is used by several different Digital products,

not every parameter is relevant to the NIC. Also, the warning at the beginning of the

file does not apply to this NIC.

3. Edit the nicprint.conf file with the information you want for your NIC. This section

contains a table that shows all the parameters and values. The entries that you can

change are in bold type. However, check all entries to make sure they are correct for

the NIC because if you are using a copy of a nicprint.conf that contains, for example,

the IP address of some other NIC, running your file affects the other NIC.

4. Change the parameters to your new values. All fields must be filled, even if a

parameter does not apply to your NIC. The parameters are separated from the values

by the tab character.

5. Exit from the editor and save the file.

6. Run nsconfig with the NIC's IP address or its name ( as entered in /etc/hosts). For

example:

nsconfig 192.9.200.212

nsconfig printfast

7. Turn the printer off and then on again.

You are now ready to print.
