Installation and Reference for the Model PS104/PS105/PS110/PS113 Print Server Configuring Your Print Server Using FTP FTP allows a user to log on to a remote host and to manipulate files on the host. The print server can act as an FTP host. Using FTP, you can access and modify the CONFIG file in the print server. Modifying the CONFIG file changes the configuration of the print server. The limitations of print server support when using FTP are: • Only one FTP user can connect to the print server at a time.

Use QUICKSET /? to display the help screen. You must have the following software and drivers loaded prior to executing the QUICKSET program: • NetWare Link Support Layer, LSL.COM This program looks into the NET.CFG file for parameters.

Appendix B Understanding IP Addresses This appendix provides information about understanding IP addresses, which you must assign to the NETGEAR Model PS104/PS105/PS110/PS113 print server when operating in a TCP/IP environment. IP Addresses and the Internet Because TCP/IP networks are interconnected widely across the world, every machine on the Internet must have a unique address to make sure that transmitted data reaches the correct destination.
PAGE 153
Installation and Reference for the Model PS104/PS105/PS110/PS113 Print Server There are five standard classes of IP addresses. These address classes have different ways of determining the network and host sections of the address, allowing for different numbers of hosts on a network. Each address type begins with a unique bit pattern, which is used by the TCP/IP software to identify the address class.
PAGE 154
Installation and Reference for the Model PS104/PS105/PS110/PS113 Print Server Class E addresses are for experimental use. This addressing structure allows IP to uniquely identify each physical network and each node on each physical network. For each unique value of the network portion of the address, the base address of the range (host address of all zeros) is known as the network address and is not usually assigned to a host.
PAGE 155
Installation and Reference for the Model PS104/PS105/PS110/PS113 Print Server Subnet Addressing By looking at the addressing structures, you can see that even with a Class C address there are a large number of hosts per network. Such a structure is an inefficient use of addresses if each end of a routed link requires a different network number. It is unlikely that the smaller office LANs would have that many devices. You can resolve this problem by using a technique known as subnet addressing.
PAGE 156
Installation and Reference for the Model PS104/PS105/PS110/PS113 Print Server Although the preceding example uses the entire third octet for a subnet address, note that you are not restricted to octet boundaries in subnetting. To create more network numbers, you need only shift some bits from the host address to the network address. For instance, to partition a Class C network number (192.68.135.0) into two, you shift 1 bit from the host address to the network address.

PAGE 158
Installation and Reference for the Model PS104/PS105/PS110/PS113 Print Server Address Resolution Protocol An IP address alone cannot be used to deliver data from one device to another on a LAN. In order for data to be sent from one device on the LAN to another, you must convert the IP address of the destination device to its media access control (MAC) address. Each device on an Ethernet network has a unique Ethernet MAC address, which is a 48-bit number assigned to each device by the manufacturer.

Appendix C CONFIG File This appendix provides information for editing a CONFIG file. CONFIG files are stored in the flash EEPROM of the NETGEAR Model PS104/PS105/PS110/PS113 print server and used for configuring the device using the FTP method. For more information about using the CONFIG file and to see an example of FTP commands, refer to “Configuring Your Print Server Using FTP” on page 6-7. Only the parameters related to TCP/IP operation of the print server are listed.

Installation and Reference for the Model PS104/PS105/PS110/PS113 Print Server Each Model PS104 and Model PS105 Print Server has one parallel port and supports three logical printers. Each Model PS110 and Model PS113 Print Server, with two and three parallel ports respectively, supports eight logical printers. You cannot change the names. Each logical printer has four settings as shown in Table C-1. Refer to Table C-2 for the line numbers of the logical printers in the CONFIG file. Table C-2.

Appendix D Using NetWare 5 NDPS This appendix provides an overview of using the Print Server with NDPS (Novell Distributed Printing Services) under Novel NetWare 5.0. Overview The NETGEAR print server must be configured as a valid device on your TCP/IP network. To use NDPS (Novell Distributed Printing Services), the Novell server must be running Novell NetWare 5, and the PCs (clients) must be running IntranetWare Client 2.0 or later.
