Note ❒ You should specify a password so that only the network administrator, or a person having network administrator privileges, can use remote maintenance. Using telnet The following is a sample procedure using telnet. Limitation ❒ Only one person at a time can be logged on to do remote maintenance. A Using the IP address or host name of the machine, start telnet.
Remote Maintenance by telnet Note ❒ If the “Cannot write NVRAM information” message appears, the changes are not saved. Repeat the steps above. ❒ The Network Interface Board is reset automatically when the settings are changed. ❒ When the Network Interface Board is reset, the active print job which has already been sent to the machine will finish printing. However, jobs that have not been sent yet will be canceled. Commands List This is a list of commands that can be used via remote maintenance.
Appendix Note ❒ This affects the configuration of the Network Interface Board of the IP address that is used. ❒ To type an address using hexadecimal, prefix it by “0x”. - Address ❖ Subnet Mask A number used to mathematically “mask” or hide the IP address on the network by eliminating those parts of the address that are alike for all the machines on the network. ❖ Default Gateway Address A gateway is a connection or interchange point that connects two networks.
Remote Maintenance by telnet ❒ For example, if you assign 192.168.15.16 as the Access Control Address of the Network Interface Board, the IP addresses that can print are as follows: XXX means any number from 1 to 254 is acceptable. Access Control Mask IP addresses that can access the printer 0. 0. 0. 0 XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX 255. 0. 0. 0 192.XXX.XXX.XXX 255.255. 0. 0 192.168.XXX.XXX 255.255.255. 0 192.168. 15.XXX 255.255.255.255 192.168. 15.
Appendix Note ❒ If you prohibit remote access using TCP/IP and then log out, you cannot use remote access. If this was a mistake, you can use the control panel to allow access by TCP/IP. ❒ When you prevent access via TCP/IP, you are also prevented from using lpr, ftp, rsh, diprint, web, snmp and ipp. Printer status The following commands can be used to get information about the current status of the printer. msh> command Command status Information that is displayed Status of printer.
Remote Maintenance by telnet System log information Use the syslog command to display information stored in the machine's system log. msh> syslog Reference For more information about the displayed information, see P.84 “System Log Information”. SNMP Use the snmp command to display and edit SNMP configuration settings such as the community name. Note ❒ You can configure from ten SNMP access settings numbered 1–10. ❒ Default access settings 1 and 2 are as follows.
Appendix ❖ Access type configuration You can select the access type from those listed below. msh> snmp number type access_type Access type Type of access which is permitted read Read only write Read and write trap User is notified of trap messages. no All access is denied. ❖ Protocol configuration You should use the following command to set the protocols to active or inactive. If you set a protocol to inactive, all access settings set to use that protocol will be disabled.
Remote Maintenance by telnet IPP Use the ipp command to configure the IPP settings. ❖ Viewing setting The following command displays the current IPP settings. msh >ipp Example output: timeout=900(sec) auth basic • The “timeout” setting specifies how many seconds the computer keeps trying to access the network printer to send print jobs when no connection can be made. • The “auth” setting indicates the user authorization mode.
Appendix SMB Use the smb command to configure or delete the computer name or workgroup name for NetBEUI. msh >smb parameter Parameter Settings smb comp Your computer name consisting of up to 13 characters smb group Workgroup name consisting of up to 15 characters smb comment Comment consisting of up to 31 characters smb clear comp Clears the computer name smb clear group Clears the Workgroup name smb clear comment Clears comment ROUTE Use the route command to control the routing table.
Remote Maintenance by telnet SLP Use this command to configure SLP settings. You can search the NetWare server using SLP in the PureIP environment of NetWare5. To use the slp command, you can configure the value of TTL which can be used by the SLP multi-cast-packet. Note ❒ The default value of TTL is “1”. A search is executed only within a local segment. If the router does not support multi-cast, the settings are not available even if the TTL value is increased. ❒ The acceptable TTL value is 1 - 255.
Appendix SNMP The Network Interface Board functions as an SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) agent using the UDP and IPX protocols. Using the SNMP manager you can get information about the printer. The default community names are “public” and “admin”. You can get MIB information using these community names. Reference For more information about configuring the community name, see P.75 “SNMP” in “Remote Maintenance by telnet”. Limitation ❒ The kinds of supported MIBs vary depending on the printer.
Understanding the Displayed Information Understanding the Displayed Information This section describes how to read the status information returned by the Network Interface Board. Print Job Information The status of the print job can be viewed using the following commands. • telnet : Use the status command. ⇒ P.74 “Printer status” Item name Meaning Rank Print job status. • Active Printing or preparing for printing. • Waiting Waiting to be transferred to the printer. Owner Print request user name.
Appendix Configuring the Network Interface Board The Network Interface Board settings can be displayed by using the commands below. • telnet : Use the show command. ⇒ P.74 “Network Interface Board configuration settings information” Item name Common Mode Protocol Up/Down AppleTalk TCP/IP NetWare NetBEUI Ethernet interface NVRAM version Device name Comment Location Contact Soft switch 6 AppleTalk Mode Net Object Type Zone 82 Meaning Up means active, Down means inactive.

Appendix Message List This is a list of messages written to the machine's system log. The system log can be viewed using the syslog command. System Log Information You can use the following methods to view the system log. • UNIX : Use the syslog paremeter of rsh, rcp or ftp command. ⇒ “Printer Status” in the UNIX Supplement provided as a PDF file included on the CDROM labeled “Operating Instructions for Printer”. • telnet : Use the syslog command. ⇒ P.
Message List Message Description and Solutions Cannot create service connection (In remote printer mode) Cannot establish a connection with the file server. The number of file server users may exceed the maximum number that the file server can handle. Cannot find rprinter (/ ) The printer having the number displayed on the print server does not exist. Make sure that the number of the printer is registered in the print server. Change IP address from DHCP Server.
Appendix 6 86 Message Description and Solutions Established SPX Connection with PServer,(RPSocket=, connID=) (In remote printer mode) A connection with the print server has been established. Exit pserver (In print server mode) Exits the print server because the necessary print server settings have not been made. Frametype = The is configured to be used on NetWare. httpd start. An httpd has started. inetd start.

Make sure that print queue volume exists on the specified file server. Print server has no print- (In print server mode) The printer object is not er. assigned to the print server . Using NWAdmin, assign the printer object, and then restart the printer device.
Appendix Precautions Please pay attention to the following when using the Network Interface Board. When configuration is necessary, follow the appropriate procedures below. Connecting a Dial-Up Router to a Network When the NetWare file server and the printer are on the opposite side of a router, packets are continuously sent back and forth, possibly causing communications charges to increase. Because the packet transmission is a specification of NetWare, you need to change the configuration of the router.
Precautions PostScript Printing from Windows When printing PostScript from Windows, see the PostScript 3 Unit Type 1045 Operating Instructions Supplement provided as a PDF file on the CD-ROM labeled “Operating Instructions for Printer”. NetWare Printing Form Feed You should not configure the form feed on NetWare. The form feed is controlled by the printer driver on Windows. If the NetWare form feed is configured, the printer might not work properly.
Appendix When Using DHCP Note the following points when using DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). Supported systems Windows NT Server 4.0 can be configured as a DHCP server. Configure the printer with a reserved IP address To always assign the same IP address, configure a reserved IP address using the DHCP server. Note ❒ When multiple DHCP servers are used, reserve the same address with each DHCP server.
Precautions Additional information • When you click [Active Lease] on the [Scope] menu of DHCP manager, a list of client leases appears. When the reserved IP address is not active, the name of the reservation is the name entered in the Client Name field of the [Add Reserved Clients] dialog box. When the reserved IP address becomes active, the client name changes to the printer name configured by the Network Interface Board. Only the first 13 letters of the printer name appear here.
Appendix • If various users send print jobs using SmartNetMonitor for Admin to network printers, the printing order might not be in the order in which the jobs were sent. • An IP address cannot be used for the IPP port name because the IP address is used for the SmartNetMonitor for Admin port name.
