Chapter 4 Configuring Ports for Printers 21
User Command Example 1
In this example, a user from the host server, specifies a standard Telnet
connection on port 2 of a device server using IP address 199.250.38.15.
cat myfile | telnet 199.250.38.15 2002
User Command Example 2
In this example, a user, from the host server, specifies a raw Telnet
connection on port 2 of a device server using IP address 199.250.38.15.
cat myfile | telnet 199.250.38.15 2102
• Note: To specify a hunt group in the command instead of an
individual port, use the group number specified on the group field of
the set ports command that configured the port. See the Digi One/
PortServer TS Command Reference.
Method 1 Configuration
There is no special configuration required to set up a port for this type of
direct access. Simply configure the port for a printer. See "Configuring a
Port for Direct-Access Printing" on page 20 for more information.
Method 2: Using Alternate IP Addresses
This method provides similar functions to method 1, except it assigns an IP
address to a port.
Method 2 Configuration
To configure an alternate IP address, do the following:
• Configure the port for a printer. See Configuring a Port for Direct-
Access Printing on page 20 for more information.
• Supply a set altip command that specifies the following:
set altip group=port-number ip=ip-address
where
— port-number is the actual port number of a device server port
— IP-address is the unique IP address of a port on the device server
Command Line Example
set ports range=2 dev=prn
set line range=2 baud=9600 csize=8 stopb=1 parity=n
set flow range=2 cts=on rts=on ixon=off ixoff=off
For this connection type... Identify the port by specifying...
Telnet
2000 plus the number of the port.
Example: 2002 for port 2.
Raw
2100 plus the number of the port.
Example: 2102 for port 2.
