Netport(R) II Print Server: Instructions for Print Server Setup
Contents:
NPADMIN - AUTOMATIC CONFIGURATION - PRINT SERVER, TWO PARALLEL PRINTERS
1. Login as Supervisor and run NPADMIN.
2. Select "Configure" and then "Automatic".
3. Read the general setup information and press Enter.
4. From the list of NetPorts(R) currently connected to the network,
select the NetPort to be configured.
If the NetPort is not listed, escape out of this menu and select
"Port Status", Set Viewer Criteria" and check the server name. A
blank here indicates that all netports will be listed. If this is
blank, then check the troubleshooting guidelines in the manual for
the section "NetPort does not appear on the network".
5. (Optional) Assign an alias name to the netport.
6. Assign the first parallel port to a queue. The queues listed are
the ones presently on the default file server. This cannot be
changed to another file server. Highlight the queue desired or
press insert to add a new queue.
7. Assign the queue for the second parallel port. Follow step 6.
8. A configuration screen is displayed next. This configuration can
only be accepted or rejected. No changes can be made in this
window. Press F10 to accept. Use the Escape key to back up
through the previous screens and make the desired changes.
9. If the configuration is accepted, the NetPort is updated and reset.
Updating clears the flash memory and overwrites previous
configuration information. Resetting attaches the NetPort to the
file server using the new settings.
This process can take from one to three minutes. On wide area
networks this can take even longer.
10.The results of this process can be viewed in the "Port Status",
"Check all ports" option. The 2 ports will be listed as Print
servers. Also "Port Status", "View NetPort Settings" can be used
to select the NetPort and view all information including the queues
selected (press the space bar to see the list).
