Section 2 - Chapter 1 - SNMP Overview Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) provides network administrators with the ability to communicate management functions between an SNMP manager and an SNMP agent. An SNMP manager is a user program the network administrator can use to manage SNMP agents. The manager can retrieve Get information from the agent or alter Set information on the agent. An agent can also send an unsolicited message Trap to a manager when it encounters an unusual condition.
Section 2 - Chapter 1 - SNMP Note: If you attempt a reset while a job is printing, the job may not print successfully. Certain variables are critical, that is, they change a fundamental operating parameter of the OkiLAN 6100e+. These variables are saved by the OkiLAN 6100e+ but are not actually used until it is power cycled or is reset. When any one of these variables is changed the variable genConfigDirty is automatically set to yes by the print server.
In order to receive OkiNet Alert traps, the OkiLAN 6100e+ must have bi-directional status enabled (it is disabled by default). Extended Status can be enabled through the OkiLAN 6100e+ Configuration utility (telnet) from the Configure Port option. You can also enable OkiNet Alert through OkiNet for TCP/IP or IPX from the Output Port file tab. Security SNMP implements a simple security system known as community names. Each SNMP message has a community name associated with the command in the message.

Section 4 - Chapter 1 - Introduction Chapter 1 Introduction Overview This section contains instructions and information on how to configure your OkiLAN 6100e+. You will also be instructed on how to set up your host computers to print to the OkiLAN 6100e+ using the TCP/IP protocol.
Section 4 - Chapter 1 - Introduction Network Preparation • You should be familiar with network administration as well as the physical setup and operation of your network. • Advise users of possible disruption during installation. • Make sure the serial number and Ethernet address of your OkiLAN 6100e+ are available. • Assign an IP address and a hostname (alias) to the OkiLAN 6100e+. Use the network name service or the “/etc/hosts” file to add the OkiLAN 6100e+ to the network.
Section 4 - Chapter 2 - Configuring the OkiLAN 6100e Chapter 2 Configuring the OkiLAN 6100e+ Choosing an IP Address Every TCP/IP network device is required to have a unique IP address. The IP address can be permanently stored using one of the following: • OKI OkiNet management utilities for TCP/IP, Novell NetWare or Banyan VINES • OkiLAN 6100e+ Configuration utility via telnet.
Section 4 - Chapter 2 - Configuring the OkiLAN 6100e Configuring the OkiLAN 6100e+ There are four utilities available to configure the OkiLAN 6100e+ for TCP/IP printing. You may use whichever utility is best suited for your needs. • OkiNet for TCP/IP - Windows TCP/IP print manager utility. See Chapter 3 of this section for more information. • OkiLAN 6100e+ Configuration Utility - This utility is accessed via telnet. See Chapter 5 of this section for more information.
Section 4 - Chapter 2 - Configuring the OkiLAN 6100e Note: Gleaning does not work with Windows NT Workstation 3.5. OKI OkiLAN 6100e+ User’s Guide IV - 9 TCP/IP To use Gleaning, you must have Windows 95/98, Windows NT/2000, or super-user privileges on a UNIX system. 1. Add an entry in the ARP table that assigns an IP address to the hardware address of the OkiLAN 6100e+. To do this, use the arp command. arp -s temp UNIX Example: arp -s 192.168.42.
Section 4 - Chapter 2 - Configuring the OkiLAN 6100e DHCP The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provides a framework for passing configuration information to hosts on a TCP/IP network in a client/ server fashion. DHCP is based on the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP), adding the capability of automatic allocation of reusable network addresses and additional configuration options. DHCP uses the same packet structure as BOOTP so current BOOTP relay agents will also interact with DHCP messages.
Section 4 - Chapter 2 - Configuring the OkiLAN 6100e Static Route Entry When the OkiLAN 6100e+ is powered on or reset and no permanent IP address has been assigned, it will attempt to obtain an IP address through Gleaning, RARP, BOOTP or DHCP. If the OkiLAN 6100e+ has not determined its IP address after two minutes, the IP address will default to 198.102.102.254. This IP address should only be used temporarily to configure a new, permanent IP address.
Section 4 - Chapter 2 - Configuring the OkiLAN 6100e IP addresses. If a match is found, the server’s response will include the IP address of the device. Most UNIX operating systems support either the RARP or BOOTP protocol. To find out which protocol your operating system supports, request the manual page for the protocol’s daemon (e.g. man bootpd or man rarpd), or see your network manuals. Both protocols require that you add the product’s network hardware address and IP address to a configuration file.
Section 4 - Chapter 2 - Configuring the OkiLAN 6100e Verifying Access to the OkiLAN 6100e+ TCP/IP Use the ping utility to verify access to the OkiLAN 6100e+. ping If the OkiLAN 6100e+ does not respond, your network or the device is not configured correctly. • Verify the IP address, default gateway and subnet mask are set to the proper values on the OkiLAN 6100e+ by printing a configuration sheet.
Section 4 - Chapter 3 - TCP/IP Configuration and Printing Chapter 3 TCP/IP Configuration and Printing Overview The OkiLAN 6100e+ supports printing from computers using TCP/IP and any of the following printing protocols: • Line Printer Redirect/Line Printer Daemon (lpr/lpd) • File Transfer Protocol (FTP) • Printing directly through a TCP port (Raw Port Printing) This chapter presents basic instructions on how to configure your computer to print using Remote LPD and FTP.
Section 4 - Chapter 3 - TCP/IP Configuration and Printing Configuring for TCP/IP Network Printing Most computers that support TCP/IP network printing use the Remote Line Printer Daemon (LPD) protocol. This protocol was originally part of the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) version of the UNIX operating system. Remote LPD was quickly adopted as a de facto standard.
Section 4 - Chapter 3 - TCP/IP Configuration and Printing The OkiLAN 6100e+ will parse the remote queue name and search for certain characters at the end which tell how to convert an ASCII print job. The print server uses FF, LF and NF as ASCII conversion specifiers and uses the last number as an output port. The FF, LF and NF specifiers must be the last letters in the queue name.
Section 4 - Chapter 3 - TCP/IP Configuration and Printing Configuring a BSD-Style Print Queue For remote BSD-Style LPD printing, add the OkiLAN 6100e+ as a remote printer in the “/etc/printcap” database to each host printing to the OkiLAN 6100e+. You can add PRINTCAP options as needed. If you are unfamiliar with PRINTCAP, consult your local documentation.
Section 4 - Chapter 3 - TCP/IP Configuration and Printing log_file_name This is the path to a file where error information from the lpd will be logged. Example: If you are printing to an ASCII printer that requires a carriage return/line feed, you may need two separate printcap entries: one entry for print jobs which terminate lines with a carriage return/line feed, and another entry for print jobs which terminate lines with a line feed only.
Section 4 - Chapter 3 - TCP/IP Configuration and Printing Note: The Remote LPD implementation of the OkiLAN 6100e+ does not support any UNIX LPD input or output filters or the direct printing of banner pages. It is possible to configure some UNIX systems so that banner pages and input and output filters will be generated at the UNIX host and then sent to the OkiLAN 6100e+. (Refer to Appendix B, Application Considerations.) FTP is a command line program used to transfer files between computers.
Section 4 - Chapter 3 - TCP/IP Configuration and Printing TYPE ASCII BINARY IMAGE STRU MODE OPEN CLOSE QUIT BYE Changes the representation type used for data transfer. Image (or binary) and ASCII are the only types supported. Equivalent to “TYPE ASCII”. Equivalent to “TYPE BINARY”. Equivalent to “TYPE IMAGE”. Specifies file structure. File is the only structure supported. Specifies transfer mode. Stream is the only transfer mode supported. Opens connection to remote host. Terminates FTP session.
Section 4 - Chapter 3 - TCP/IP Configuration and Printing Example: The following example prints a PostScript file called chart.ps to the OkiLAN 6100e+ printer Port 1 using FTP. $ ftp OkiLAN 6100e_name Connected to OkiLAN 6100e_name. 220 ESI-2810 Version 3.0 ready. Name (OkiLAN 6100e_name:anyone): 230 User logged in. ftp> binary 200 Type set to I. ftp> put chart.ps MPX1 local: chart.ps remote: MPX1 200 PORT command successful. 150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for MPX1.
Section 4 - Chapter 3 - TCP/IP Configuration and Printing Raw Port Printing Host computer software can use a raw TCP/IP port connection to send data to the OkiLAN 6100e+. A TCP/ IP port has been assigned to the output port of the OkiLAN 6100e+ as follows: TCP/IP Port: 9100 Output Port: 1 Consult your system documentation for information on how to submit print jobs to a raw port.
Section 4 - Chapter 4 - OkiNet for TCP/IP Chapter 4 OkiNet for TCP/IP Overview This section contains information about OkiNet for TCP/IP. OkiNet for TCP/IP provides SNMP-based support for the entire OkiLAN 6100e+ family of print servers.

Restore to Factory Defaults To select an option above, type its number and press Enter. To quit, press Enter.
Section 4 - Chapter 5 - Telnet Configuration RARP or BOOTP server does not need to be available when the OkiLAN 6100e+ is powered on. If you change the IP address, the change will remain undetected until the OkiLAN 6100e+ is reset or is powered off and on. Remember, when choosing a permanent IP address: • The IP address must follow the format XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, where each XXX is a number between 0 and 255. • If you select an invalid IP address you may not be able to access the OkiLAN 6100e+.
Section 4 - Chapter 5 - Telnet Configuration Identify Default Gateway IP Address (Option 5) If your local network is attached to other networks, you must specify the address of your default gateway. Whenever packets need to be sent to another network, the default gateway is used. The gateway address must follow the format XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, where each XXX is a number between 0 and 255. When the default gateway is changed, it will remain undetected until the OkiLAN 6100e+ is reset or is power cycled.
Section 4 - Chapter 5 - Telnet Configuration • Language Switching Sequence - If you select Custom Printer from the Configure Printer Type screen, you must indicate the switching sequence to be used for both PCL and PostScript. This is only necessary if language switching is set to something other than OFF. TCP Connection Configuration (Option 7) TCP Connection Timeout This is used to sever network TCP/IP Connections that are idle for more than a specified period of time (between 1 and 3600 seconds).
Section 4 - Chapter 5 - Telnet Configuration Restore to Factory Default Configuration (Option 9) This option automatically restores the OkiLAN 6100e+ to its original factory defaults. Be aware that when you restore the OkiLAN 6100e+ to the original factory default settings, only the TCP/IP protocol and output port information is restored and your TCP/IP password and IP address are erased. TCP/IP CAUTION: Make sure that no print jobs are active when you select Restore to Factory Defaults.
Section 4 - Appendix A - Troubleshooting Appendix A Troubleshooting Main Status Indicator Upon power-up, the main status indicator flashes orange. It changes to green when the OkiLAN 6100e+ passes self-test. The indicator stays orange if the OkiLAN 6100e+ fails self-test. If the indicator turns solid orange due to an error, a configuration sheet will be printed automatically. Check the error message reported on the configuration sheet.
Section 4 - Appendix A - Troubleshooting Unable to Assign IP Address Gleaning If you ping the device and are not getting a response, the glean is not working. Check the following possible problems: • Verify the ARP table contains the correct hardware and IP address by running the ‘arp -a’ command. • If you are getting a response, but the OkiLAN 6100e+ LED is still blinking green, power down the print server and try the ping again. There might be a different device answering to the ping.
Section 4 - Appendix A - Troubleshooting UNIX BOOTP If you are running UNIX, try the following methods with the BOOTP server (check the documentation for your particular UNIX flavor). • Verify the BOOTP server has reread the “/etc/ bootptab” file when the new entry was added. If the BOOTP server was running when you added the new entries, the server might not have reread the new bootptab file. Try sending the SIGHUP signal to the running BOOTP server.
Section 4 - Appendix A - Troubleshooting If the OkiLAN 6100e+ has printed a configuration page showing the default address, but it cannot be reached through telnet, check the following: • Display the host’s routing tables with the ‘netstat r’ command. Verify the route has been set correctly. • If the route is set correctly, try pinging the device. • Verify the OkiLAN 6100e+ is on the same subnet as the host from which you are telneting.
Section 4 - Appendix A - Troubleshooting OkiNet for TCP/IP - Winsock Errors • If you see an error before OkiNet for TCP/IP appears on the screen, try setting a host name in the hosts file in the Windows directory (check the documentation for your Windows TCP/IP stack). • If you have difficulty seeing a particular OkiLAN 6100e+, try moving the device onto the same subnet as the computer running the utility.
Section 4 - Appendix A - Troubleshooting Printing a Configuration Page If the status indicator turns solid orange due to an error and no configuration page is printed, your printer may be configured for PostScript operation. If so, you must re-configure your printer for standard ASCII mode so that the configuration page can be printed.
Section 4 - Appendix A - Troubleshooting • If the ftp succeeds, there is a problem with the lpr/ lp setup. Verify the hostname or IP address is correctly set for the queue. Try doing an lpstat (System V) or lpq (BSD) to query the status of the OkiLAN 6100e+. FTP • If the indicator blinks green, the printer is receiving data. If nothing is actually printing, check the printer settings. For example, if you are using a PostScript printer, verify the OkiLAN 6100e+ is set to PostScript also.
Section 4 - Appendix B - Application Considerations Appendix B Application Considerations Overview This appendix provides application notes for the following: • Assigning the OkiLAN 6100e+ IP Address with BOOTP • Assigning the OkiLAN 6100e+ IP Address with RARP • Using the Windows NT v3.5 LPR Print Monitor • Configuring HP-UX v8.07 for Printing • Configuring HP-UX v9.xx for Printing • Configuring HP-UX v10.xx for Printing • Configuring SCO UNIX for Printing • Configuring IBM’s AIX ver. 3.
Section 4 - Appendix B - Application Considerations (which may be a UNIX workstation) will respond with an IP address. The device will then know its IP address and use this address to perform subsequent TCP/IP transactions. Note: Once the OkiLAN 6100e+ has been assigned an IP address, the OkiLAN 6100e+ configuration utility (which is run by accessing the OkiLAN 6100e+ using telnet) or OkiNet for TCP/IP will allow you to change and/or make the IP address permanent.
A name can be arbitrarily assigned to any device on a network. The following examples use the name OKIPRINTER. Remember that this name is arbitrary; a customer can assign any name they wish. /etc/bootptab: The “/etc/bootptab” file has entries where each entry maps a network hardware address to an IP address. Example: OKIPRINTER:\ ht=ether:\ ha=0040681750A4:\ ip=192.168.42.55 The ht signifies hardware type.
Section 4 - Appendix B - Application Considerations 4. The bootpd daemon transmits a response to the OkiLAN 6100e+ with the IP address 192.168.42.55. The OkiLAN 6100e+ will use this IP address for all subsequent transmissions. For these steps to work properly, at least one BOOTP daemon (bootpd) must be running on the BOOTP server. To test whether a BOOTP daemon is running on the BOOTP server, use the ps command with the show all process option within fifteen minutes of an attempted BOOTP request.
Section 4 - Appendix B - Application Considerations Configuring the OkiLAN 6100e+ IP Address with RARP RARP is an acronym for Reverse Address Resolution Protocol. Every TCP/IP network device must have a unique 32-bit IP address. TCP/IP network devices will have both an IP address and a 48-bit Ethernet (network hardware) address. Ethernet addresses usually cannot be configured and are hard coded by the manufacturer of the device.
Section 4 - Appendix B - Application Considerations Configuration Files The purpose of RARP is to look up a 32-bit IP address given a 48-bit network hardware address. The RARP server (which is usually a UNIX workstation running a rarpd daemon) performs this function using two configuration files and one or more daemons. The configuration files are “/etc/hosts” and “/etc/ethers” and the daemon is called rarpd. A name can be assigned to any device on a network and is arbitrary.
Section 4 - Appendix B - Application Considerations 4. The rarpd then consults the “/etc/hosts” file and looks up the name OKIPRINTER. It finds an IP address (in this case 192.168.42.55) associated with the name OKIPRINTER. 5. The rarpd daemon transmits a response to the OkiLAN 6100e+ with the IP address 192.168.42.55. The OkiLAN 6100e+ will then use this IP address for all subsequent transmissions. For all these steps to work properly, at least one RARP daemon (rarpd) must be running on the RARP server.

Chapter 1 IR Tranceiver Features The IR Transceiver enhances the mobility of your portable device by allowing you to walk-up and connect to a printer equipped with an OkiLAN 6100e+ print server. The IR Transceiver automatically detects and connects to your portable’s infrared port when it is within 3 feet (1 meter) of the adapter. Once the connection is made, you simply print as if you were connected through a physical connection.
Section X - Chapter 1 - IR Tranceiver Features System Requirements · OkiLAN 6100e+ Print Server with infrared port connection. · Infrared port on notebook or mobile device meeting the IrDA standard. · Infrared print drivers on the mobile device. Infrared print drivers are provided through third parties for PCs using Windows 95/98 operating systems or by generic drivers within Palm OS printing utilities.
Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration Installing the Hardware To install the IR Transceiver, attach the DIN-6 connector on the back of the OkiLAN 6100e+ print server. General Information on Configuring Your Print Server for IR If you wish to print via infrared to an IrDA-capable printer, you need to redirect an existing printer driver to use the infrared printer port. You can generally either change an existing printer driver or install a new printer driver and connect it to an active IrDA port.
Section X - Chapter 2 - Installation and Configuration 6. For Windows 95 users only: Under the Available ports window, select either Infrared Printing (LPT) Port (recommended) or select the COM port labeled Infrared Serial (COM) Connections Port, then click Next. For Windows 98 users only: Under the Available ports window, select either Virtual Infrared LPT Port (recommended) or select the COM port labeled Virtual Infrared COM Port, then click Next. 7.
Chapter 3 Using the IR Transceiver Position the infrared port of your portable computer or mobile device within three feet (one meter) of the IR Transceiver’s infrared window, leaving an unobstructed path between the two units. Note: Palm, Windows CE or other third party emulation compatible devices will need an IR print utility, such as Stevens Creek (www.stevenscreek.com), Bachmann (Bachmannsoftware.com) or ISComplete (ISComplete.com).
