Compiling Host Software

Compiling Host Software
Some compilation may be needed before adding setups to your host
unless you have Sun
OS 4.1.x, Solaris
2.x, or SCO UNIX
. Pre-
compiled binaries are provided for these. npconfig can be used to do
the compilation, or you can try and compile each program
independently. For the npconfig method perform the following steps:
1. Select Detailed Configuration Options... from the npconfig Main
Menu.
2. Select Manage Host Software... from the Options Submenu.
3. Select Compile Host Software and answer the prompts until
compiled.
For more information on the provided host software, see the following
subsections.
ezsetup and npconfig
ezsetup and npconfig are the two installation programs provided.
ezsetup is used for a quick, simple setup and npconfig is used for
more detailed configuration, or for maintenance and troubleshooting the
Print Server. Both programs help to configure your Internal Ethernet
Adapter and direct print jobs to it.
ezsetup provides two choices; they are the same as the first two
choices of npconfig’s Main Menu. Within minutes, you will have
configured the Internal Ethernet Adapter so it can be recognized on the
network and your host will be able to successfully send print jobs to it.
If you would like to spend more time manipulating the extra capabilities
of the Print Server and your host’s configuration, use npconfig. It can
be used to configure a print destination on your host and as a Print
Server management utility allowing you to monitor, change, and
troubleshoot the unit.
