ETHERNET TO TWINAX/COAX PRINT SERVER
Problem: After configuring the print server to use Novell and performing a reset,
the Power LED blinks for a time, there is no self-test report printed, and the print
server cannot be seen in the print-control utility’s “List of Print Servers” screen. If
the print server is left alone for a long time with the Power LED blinking,
eventually the startup process will bypass the Novell login process and will then
print the self-test.
Resolution: The startup process has not been able to complete. Generally this
occurs when there is an incorrect Novell password. On the List of Print Servers
screen, select Novell from the Protocol drop-down menu. Click on the Scan for
Print Servers button. If the print server appears on the list, then an incorrect
Novell password as been entered. Correct the password. (We recommend that you
not use a password.) It may be necessary to assign a new password at the Novell
server as well as the print server.
9.5.9 TN3270 E P RINTING
The print server reports the success or failure of an attempt to communicate with
the host by printing a brief connection status message on each attached printer.
The connection status message will look something like:
TN3270 Host Connection Status
Connection attempt succeeded
Host address 128.03.254
Printer name TNETPRT2
Status code I002-Session successfully started
The message will show whether the connection succeeded or not, the IP address
of the host computer to which the print server has connected, the printer name,
and the session status. The status code (I002) shown in the above example is the
normal code indicating successful host communication (session started). Here are
some possible abnormal values of the status code and suggested actions to take for
each of those values:
0102 = Host rejected connection to Telnet port
This code simply means that the print server’s attempt to start a Telnet session with
the host failed. This message usually indicates one of the following:
• The host is down.
