Configuration Xerox 4500 PS TR 3.7 Setting Up via BOOTP server The TCP/IP BOOTP daemon on the server supports one or more remote devices. When the PrintServer is powered on, it broadcasts an initialisation request to all LAN systems. The BOOTP server receives the hardware address and looks for a match of the hardware address in the BOOTPTAB file. The BOOTP server has a BOOTPTAB file which is a correspondence file for hardware addresses and IP addresses.
PAGE 79
Configuration Xerox 4500 PS TR Bootfile Entry The bootfile entry refers to a file which contains the additional configuration settings for the particular device. In the bootfile, a reference may also be given to a microcode file. Microcode File This file contains the microcode file that can be downloaded to the print server. For further details please see Appendix B: Microcode Upgrading.

Configuration Xerox 4500 PS TR 3.7.1 BOOTP process So far, this chapter has only been dealing with the setting up of the PrintServer from a BOOTP server. However, the PrintServer can also be equipped with a so-called “ default configuration”. This default configuration will be carried out if the PrintServer cannot detect a BOOTP server at the time the PrintServer is powered on. The default settings are similar to the ones defined on the BOOTP server.
PAGE 82
Configuration Xerox 4500 PS TR 3.7.2 Setting up the TFTP Daemon For the BOOTP server to download the settings to the print server, TFTP must be enabled. TFTP in AIX Environment The TFTP daemon is normally managed by the INETD super-daemon. The INETD starts a TFTPD when a request is received. The TFTPD satisfies the request and then dies. You need to configure INETD so that it performs this service.

Default is 120 minutes. The inetcfg command must be run each time the OS/2 system is started. Adding the inetcfg command to \tcpip\bin\tcpstart.

PSF/AIX Printing Using TCP/IP Xerox 4500 PS TR 18. PSF/AIX Printing Using TCP/IP This chapter provides details on: Adding a TCP/IP attached printer Setup of the KEEPALIVE TCP/IP feature Requirements Before IPDS printing using TCP/IP can be accomplished, the following points need to be checked: 1. AIX1.2 with PTF U436937 or later must be installed.
PAGE 142
PSF/AIX Printing Using TCP/IP Xerox 4500 PS TR 18.2 KEEPALIVE support for AIX The TCP/IP components in AIX offer network attachment for printers. However, these TCPIP components do not always detect connection failures if a point-to-point session between the AIX machine and the device has failed (e.g. in connection with a printer being abruptly powered off).
PAGE 143
PSF/AIX Printing Using TCP/IP Xerox 4500 PS TR The "no" commands must be run each time the AIX system is started. Adding the "no" commands to /etc/rc.net is a convenient way of automating this step. Adding e.g. no -o tcp_keepidle=480 no -o tcp_keepintvl=80 to /etc/rc.net causes the TCP to send a KEEPALIVE transmission if a TCP connection has been inactive for 4 minutes and the application requested KEEPALIVE transmissions, as AIX now does.

Problem Determination Xerox 4500 PS TR 19. Problem Determination This chapter describes how to monitor the operations of the Xerox 4500 PS TR and how to troubleshoot the supported protocols during installation, configuration, and printing. 19.1 Monitoring tools The operations of the Xerox 4500 PS TR may be monitored using the SNMP (MIB II) or the LEDs on the rear panel. 19.1.1 SNMP support The Xerox 4500 PS TR has been added support for SNMP using TCP/IP as protocol for LAN access.
PAGE 145
Problem Determination Xerox 4500 PS TR 19.1.1.2 Preparing for use of SNMP To use the SNMP, the SNMP related parameters for the Xerox 4500 PS TR must be defined using one of the supported configuration tools (see chapter 3). PS name Specifies the attached PrintServer. Contact name: Specifies the contact person for this managed node. System location: Specifies the physical location of this node.

Problem Determination Xerox 4500 PS TR Does the LED status of theXerox 4500 PS TR appear normal? • Check for status of the LEDs. Can you PING theXerox 4500 PS TR ? • If not, the reason may be that one of the bridges is actually a router. In that case, the Xerox 4500 PS TR and PSF/2-PSF/AIX should have different IP network IDs. PSF2/PSF6000 should have a default router and the Xerox 4500 PS TR should be configured with a gateway address. • You may also have used an invalid IP address in network.

Problem Determination Xerox 4500 PS TR 19.3 Intervention required (IRQ) The Xerox 4500 PS TR supports IRQ - Intervention Required. When the intervention required status message is sent, the print session will be responsible for the recovery action. To control the printer error conditions, two separate IRQ timers are available: - IRQ timeout Used to report printer error / fault conditions to the initiating application - Hold timeout Used to report printer hold conditions to the initiating application.
