Introduction Product Overview The external print servers enhance capability by letting you place your printers at convenient locations directly on the Ethernet network, and by increasing network printer performance and management. Please note that the print server does not support printing with host-based printers, e.g. CAPT, GDI, PPA. Network Management The print servers support the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), which remote printer management and a warning. A standard SNMP agent is permanent on these print servers. Any standard SNMP-based application can be used to access and manage these print servers. Network configuration The print servers provide an embedded web server that can be accessed via a proper web browser. We also subsidiary Windows-based PSAdmin utility which help administrator to setup print server environment.

Installing Print Server on NetWare 4.x/5.x Due to its architecture and functionality, the print server must work under NetWare 4.x/5.x NDS Bindery Emulation. When you install the NetWare file server for the first time, by default, the installation program will automatically set up the Bindery Emulation function for you by adding "SET BINDERY CONTEXT =" in the AUTOEXEC.NCF file. By default, the bindery context will only be set on your organization (O) object. If you have ever modified this line, or if you have ever added any organization units (OU) to your NDS tree after the NetWare system was installed, please read the following section before you install the print server. For the purpose of illustration, we assume the NDS tress structure is as follows: [ROOT] (O)ABC (OU)ABC-USA Admin FileServer-1 (OU) Tech (OU)Sales 45 Installation Procedure 1. At your file server console, type "load install". 2. Select "NCF files options". 3. Select "Edit AUTOEXEC.NCF file". 4. Add or Modify the "SET BINDERY CONTEXT =" line to include the NDS organization (O) and all organization unit (OU) objects where users are located. For example: SET BINDERY CONTEXT = O=ABC; OU=SALES.OU=ABC-USA.O=ABC; OU=TECH.OU=ABC-USA.O=ABC ; 5. When done, save the new AUTOEXEC.NCF file. Please restart your NetWare file server in order for new settings to take effect immediately. 6. Next, please refer to "Auto Setup" section in this chapter to finish installing your print server. 7. Log into your NetWare file server as a Supervisor (Admin.) or equivalent via a Bindery connection. 8. Run NetWare's PCONSOLE and add users to the "Queue Users" list. 9. From your NetWare client computer, such as Windows 95/98/Me, create a printer that is connected (redirected) to the NetWare print queue serviced by the print server. Note: Please refer to NetWare's Print Server/Services manuals for detailed PCONSOLE commands. SNMP Setup TCP/IP networks use a standard management protocol called Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). SNMP is widely used in the industry as a solution for remote network management and monitoring of networking devices. SNMP actually includes a protocol, a database structure specification, and a set of database objects. The database objects are contained in a standard database called Management Information Base (MIB) that is stored on the networking device called SNMP agent. The print server's SNMP implementation runs in a TCP/IP environment. A host on the network running Network Management System (NMS) software can access the print server device by reading and writing the MIB objects stored in the device. The Network Management Systems are available from many third-party vendors, such as Hewlett-Packard's OpenView. When accessing (traversing) MIB objects in the print server using NMS software called SNMP manager, you need to provide a community name in each SNMP request for authentication purpose. The print server supports up to two community names. The default community name is public (case-sensitive), with Read Only access right in default. 46 When an unusual condition or activity occurs, the SNMP agent alerts the SNMP manager through SNMP traps. Following list summaries SNMP trap messages that the print server will send out. Activities/SNMP Trap Messages Description Link Up or Link Down When the network interface on the print server fails, a link down trap message is generated; if the network interface comes back to life, a link up trap message is sent. Cold Start or Warm Start When the print server restarts, the cold start or warm start trap message is generated. Authentication Failure When the print server received a SNMP request with a community name that does not match the community name the print server is configured with (stored in the print server's memory), an authentication failure trap message is generated. In the print server's SNMP implementation, the following MIB objects are available for updating. MIB Object Names system.sysContact system.sysName system.sysLocation Description Indicates the network administrator's name. Indicates the print server's name for identification. Indicates the location of the print server. snmp.snmpEnableAuthenTraps Enables or disables the function of sending SNMP Authentication Failure trap message to the network administrator, if the community name within a SNMP request is not correct. Users can set up print server's SNMP functions by using their browsers. 1.Click Setup, it then appears the sub-menu. 2.Click SNMP, it then as shown in the following picture. 47 SNMP Community: The print server supports up to two community names. The default community name is public (case-sensitive), with Read Only access right in default. Support HP WebJetAdmin: This option allows user determine to disable/enable the Support HP WebJetAdmin. SNMP Traps: Enable the function of sending SNMP Authentication Failure trap message to the network administrator, if the community name within a SNMP request is not correct. AppleTalk Setup The print server can print jobs submitted from Macintosh workstations connected to an Ethernet using AppleTalk protocol. The basic configuration is for the print server in an AppleTalk environment is performed simply by opening the Chooser window and selecting a printer that is connected to the print server. 1.Click Setup, it appears the sub-menu. 2.Click AppleTalk, it as shown in the following picture. 48 3.Zone Name: In this option, type an AppleTalk Zone name that you want the print server to belong to or leave it in default (This enables the print server automatically search and link itself to the default zone that is set on the AppleTalk router, if found). We also assume that at least an AppleTalk Zone exists on the network. If no any zone exists, the print server itself displays the zone name as an asterisk (*) in the current AppleTalk Status of the print server in the web browser. 4.Port Name: In this option, type a name for identification purpose or just leave it in default (recommended). Note: The default print server's Chooser name is as shown as follows: -xxxxxx-1, where xxxxxx represents the last six digits of the device's Node ID. For example: ATALK_PS-40EEED-1. You may also change the to a name you like for identification purpose in this option. The print server will append the last six digits to the name you specify. 5. Printer Type: In this option, the LaserWriter of printer type by default (recommended). 6.Data Format: In this option, data format includes ASCII, TBCP and BCP. Setting Up a Macintosh Computer 1. 2. At a Macintosh computer, from the Apple menu, select Chooser. The Chooser window then displays an Apple Zone list. Select the Zone name that you specified when configuring the PRINT SERVER. 49
