Section 1 Installing the Hardware EtherNet Connection The TROY PocketPro 100S print server can connect to either a 100baseTX Fast Ethernet network or a 10baseT Ethernet network. It automatically senses the type of network, so no configuration is required.
Section 1 Installing the Hardware Changing the Print Server Reset (cont.) Refer to your printer documentation if you do not know the proper reset string. Use the null string if you are planning to reset the printer from the host software (for example, from a Windows driver). If you want to define a new reset string, refer to Appendix B. You can insert a printer reset command either before or after each job, although generally the reset goes at the end of the job.
Section 2 Introduction Print Server Management Utilities TROY offers a wide variety of ways to configure and monitor the PocketPro 100S external print server. This section discusses the installation and the basic usage of several management utilities.
Section 2 Print Server Management Utilities TROY WebXAdmin Utility WebXAdmin allows you to configure the print server with a standard web browser like Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. It can therefore be used on any operating system that supports web browser capabilities. To use WebXAdmin, you must first make sure that you have a web browser installed on your computer and that you have configured an IP address in both the computer and the print server.
Section 2 Using TELNET Commands Print Server Management Utilities To connect to the print server using TELNET on UNIX, Windows NT, or most other TCP/IP systems, type the following command at the UNIX system prompt: TELNET ipaddress The ipaddress is the IP address of the print server. When you are connected, push RETURN or ENTER to get the "#" prompt, enter the password ACCESS (it will not echo), and type anything in response to the Enter Username> prompt.
Section 2 HP JetAdmin Utility Print Server Management Utilities NOTE: The TROY PocketPro 100S works transparently with the HP (Hewlett-Packard) JetAdmin utility; however, this utility has been discontinued and is no longer available for download from the HP web site. The TROY PocketPro 100S will appear in the list of configured print servers unless IPX is not running on the computer and the print server is not configured with a valid IP address.
Section 3 TCP/IP Network Configuration Introduction The TROY PocketPro 100S print servers include the TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) suite. Since virtually all UNIX host computers support TCP/IP, this capability allows a printer to be shared on a UNIX Ethernet network. TCP/IP communications can proceed concurrently with other protocols, which means that UNIX, NetWare, Apple, and other computers can share the same printer over an Ethernet network using a TROY print server.
Section 3 TCP/IP Network Configuration TCP/IP UNIX Host Configuration (cont.) 2. Choose which TROY print server service you want to use. There are two types of services available on the TROY PocketPro 100S. Binary services pass data through unmodified and are therefore required for PCL or PostScript rasterized graphics printouts. Text services add a carriage return at the end of each line for proper formatting of UNIX text files (which end in linefeed and do not have carriage returns).
Section 3 TCP/IP Network Configuration TCP/IP UNIX Host Configuration (cont.) This will create a queue named laser1 on the host computer that communicates to a TROY print server with a node name (rm) of TWC_003C51 and a service name (rp) of TEXT_P1 for printing text files to the printer through the spool directory /usr/spool/lpd/laser1. If you are printing binary graphics files, you would use the service BINARY_P1 instead of TEXT_P1.
Section 3 HP/UX Configuration TCP/IP Network Configuration In the case of HP/UX 10.xx, the sam program is used to set up the remote printer. The steps are as follows: 1. Execute the sam program. When you get a list of options, select Printers and Plotters. 2. Select LP Spooler. 3. Select Printers and Plotters. 4. Select Actions, and then select Add Remote Printer/Plotter. Enter any name as the Printer Name (this will be the name of the print queue).
Section 3 IBM RS/6000 AIX Configuration TCP/IP Network Configuration The RS/6000 AIX operating system uses the smit program to set up the remote printer. The procedure is as follows for AIX 4.0 and later: 1. Enter SMIT and select “devices” 2. Select “Printer/Plotter” 3. Select “Print Spooling” 4. Select “Add a Print Queue” 5. Select “Remote” 6.
Section 3 Sun Solaris 2.x Configuration TCP/IP Network Configuration The Sun Solaris 2.
Section 3 SCO UNIX Configuration TCP/IP Network Configuration SCO UNIX requires TCP/IP V1.2 or later to work with the TROY PocketPro 100S. You must first configure the /etc/hosts file as described in step 2. If necessary, start lpr services with the mkdev rlp command (this command must be executed only one time or serious problems may result!). Then issue the rlpconf command at the SCO system prompt. Respond to the questions as follows: Printer name.
Section 3 Other NonStandard Configuration Options TCP/IP Network Configuration With DEC TCP/IP Services for VMS (UCX), you first need to put a name for the TROY PocketPro 100S in the HOSTS file using the command SET HOST name /ADDRESS=ipaddress at the UCX> prompt, where name is the desired name for the print server and ipaddress is the IP address for the print server. Then use the sys$system:ucx$lprsetup command to add a printer (print queue).
Section 3 Other NonStandard Configuration Options (cont.) TCP/IP Network Configuration 3.
Section 3 Other NonStandard Configuration Options (cont.) TCP/IP Network Configuration On some systems it is also necessary to start the daemon. This is done on Berkeley-compatible UNIX systems with the lpc start command as shown in the following example: lpc start laser1 5. The final step before printing is to add the IP address to the TROY print server. Consult with your system administrator before assigning an IP address to avoid conflicts with other devices.
Section 3 Using ExtendView to Assign an IP Address TCP/IP Network Configuration To assign an IP address using ExtendView, perform the following steps: 1. Launch the ExtendView utility by clicking on Start, Programs, TROY Group Printing, and ExtendView. The utility will automatically search for TROY wireless devices on the network. 2.
Section 3 TCP/IP Network Configuration Using arp and ping to Configure the Print Server IP Address The arp and ping method is one of the simplest ways of configuring the print server IP address. To use arp and ping, enter the following commands at the operating system prompt: arp -s ipaddress ethernetaddress [temp] ping ipaddress The ethernetaddress is the Ethernet address of the print server and ipaddress is the IP address of the print server.
Section 3 Using rarp to Configure the Print Server IP Address TCP/IP Network Configuration The TROY PocketPro 100S IP address can be configured using the Reverse ARP (rarp) facility on your host computer.
Section 3 TCP/IP Network Configuration Using BOOTP to Configure the Print Server IP Address BOOTP is an alternative to rarp that has the advantage of allowing configuration of the subnet mask and gateway. In order to use BOOTP to configure the IP address into the TROY print server, first make sure that BOOTP is installed and running on your host computer (it should appear in the /etc/services file on your host as a real service; type man bootpd or refer to your system documentation for information).
Section 3 Configuring the Print Server IP Address with XCONFIG TCP/IP Network Configuration Users of Novell computers have additional alternatives for configuring the TROY PocketPro 100S IP address by using the remote console facility. On a NetWare system, you would use the XCONFIG utility included with every TROY print server. Simply type XCONFIG at the DOS prompt and select the desired TROY print server. 1.
Section 3 Configuring the Print Server IP Address with XCONFIG (cont.) TCP/IP Network Configuration 7. If you have a gateway (router), enter its address with the command SET IP ROUTER routeraddress, where routeraddress is the desired IP address of the gateway you wish to assign to the TROY print server. For example: Local> SET IP ROUTER 192.189.207.1 8. To verify that you have entered the IP information correctly, type SHOW IP. 9. Type EXIT to end the remote console session. 10.
Section 3 TCP/IP Network Configuration IP Security The TROY PocketPro 100S provides a means of allowing only host computers with authorized IP addresses to access the print server. This is very useful for applications like check printing, where general access to the printer is not allowed.
Section 3 Raw TCP Ports (cont.) TCP/IP Network Configuration 5. Enter the desired name for the TROY print server or IP address at the Enter the network printer name/IP Name prompt. NOTE: You will get a message “Unknown printer”. Do you wish to continue?". Enter "Y" to continue. 6. Select the printer type (for example, “HP LaserJet IIISi Printers”). 7. If desired, change any of the configurable parameters (note that the default queue name is the name of the printer plus an “_” and a number (e.g.
Section 4 Novell NetWare Network Configuration Introduction The TROY PocketPro 100S allows NetWare client PCs to print jobs on the same printer as UNIX, AppleTalk, and LAN Manager users. All NetWare jobs are spooled through the Novell server, so NetWare utilities and application programs can use the printer transparently.
Section 4 Novell NetWare Network Configuration NetWare Concepts Generally speaking, TROY recommends that you use queue server mode instead of remote printer mode because the performance will be much higher. The exception to this recommendation is if you have a limited number of available user slots (for example, if you have a 5-user NetWare license and you have five active users). TROY print servers will work with NetWare Directory Services (NDS) or bindery emulation mode on NetWare 4.
Section 4 Default Names (Service Names) Novell NetWare Network Configuration The TROY PocketPro 100S automatically makes itself known on a NetWare network. The default NetWare Print Server name is TWC_xxxxxx_P1, where "xxxxxx" are the last six digits of the Ethernet address (the Ethernet address is on a label that is affixed to the TROY print server). Note that the NetWare Print Server name is used for either NDS or bindery mode configuration.

Section 9 Introduction Troubleshooting This chapter describes procedures for troubleshooting problems you may encounter with the TROY PocketPro 100S print server, and is divided into the following sections: Installation Problems Intermittent Problems Protocol-Specific Troubleshooting If you have followed the steps in this chapter and you believe that you have a bad board, then please refer to Section 10 for information on returning defective products.
Section 9 Installation Problems (cont.) Troubleshooting CHECKING THE INTERFACE BETWEEN THE PRINT SERVER AND THE PRINTER: 1. First make sure that the cable between the print server and the printer is securely plugged in at both sides. 2. Wait about two minutes after the printer is powered on and then run a printer self-test (see Section 2 for information on how to run the self-test). a. If the self-test does not print, then there is possibly a hardware problem. Double-check the connections.
Section 9 Installation Problems (cont.) Troubleshooting 4. If the self-test prints OK but you cannot print or you get distorted printouts, make sure that the printer is set for the correct Page Description Language. Most new printers support AUTO mode, which means that they will automatically switch between PCL and PostScript. However, older printers like the LaserJet II, LaserJet III, and LaserJet IIISi require that the printer be set to the desired language through the printer front panel.
Section 9 Intermittent Problems Troubleshooting If the print server and the printer start up OK, but you intermittently have problems printing, check the following: Excessive NetWare polling can be a big cause of intermittent problems. Make sure that you have only enabled the NetWare file servers that you need for printing (do a SHOW NETWARE command from the print server console to see the enabled file servers).
Section 9 TCP/IP Troubleshooting (cont.) Troubleshooting Also verify that the host computer and the print server are either on the same subnet (for example, if the print server has a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, the host must have the same subnet mask) or that the router is properly configured to pass data between the two devices. Make sure that the /etc/printcap file (if applicable) is typed in correctly.
Section 9 TCP/IP Troubleshooting (cont.) Troubleshooting If the wrong IP address is loaded, check your network for file servers that have DHCP, BOOTP, or rarp enabled, and make sure that these file servers are not set up to load IP addresses into the print server. Also, make sure that you do not use the command SET IP BOOT 0 to disable TCP/IP broadcasts; instead, you should use the command SET IP METHOD STATIC (otherwise, unpredictable results will occur).
Section 9 NetWare Troubleshooting (cont.) Troubleshooting Make sure that the print server name you used in PCONSOLE exactly matches the name that is configured in the print server, and make sure it is defined as a Queue Server for the print queue. If you are running both 802.3 and Ethernet II frames on different file servers on your network, there is a possibility that the print server may not make a connection to the desired file server.
Section 9 AppleTalk Troubleshooting (cont.) Troubleshooting If you are using older versions of the LaserWriter drivers, verify that the Laser Prep versions on all Macintosh computers that need to print to the TROY print server are the same (not required with LaserWriter 8.xx drivers). Make sure that printer supports bidirectional communications. If it does not, use the console command SET SERVICE servicename RECEIVE ENABLED to enable AppleTalk spoofing.

LAT port A logical port through which LAT devices can send data to other LAT devices. A LAT application port is the default type of LAT port that is used for printing applications (the other type of LAT port is a dedicated port that always accesses a single service on the host computer).
Appendix D Glossary Logical Refers to conceptual rather than physical. For example, a computer may have a single physical connection to the network (an Ethernet adapter card), but may have logical connections to many different devices on the network. lpd Line Printer Daemon is a program that runs on a host computer or a dedicated print server that allows other host computers to print jobs on that computer or print server. TROY print servers use lpd to allow printing from computers on the network.
Appendix D Glossary MAPI Messaging Applications Program Interface, a popular method for applications programs to send E-mail messages through Windows operating systems. MIO Modular I/O, the internal bus on newer HP printers that connects to network interface cards. MOP Maintenance-Oriented Protocol, the protocol used by the VMS NCP and NCL utilities and for downloading files. multiprotocol Refers to the ability to handle multiple protocols simultaneously.

Although NetBEUI can be used for printing, it is being replaced by newer printing protocols like the Windows 95 Peer-to-Peer direct mode IPX and TCP/IP. NetWare A network operating system developed by Novell. Network Layer Layer 3 of the OSI Reference Model; establishes paths to allow packets to be routed throughout the network. IP and IPX are examples of this layer.
Appendix D Glossary OS/400 The operating system used on IBM AS/400 minicomputers. OSF/1 DEC's version of UNIX that was originally called ULTRIX and is now called Digital UNIX. OSF/1 uses the standard Berkeley lpr/lpd procedures for printing to remote host computers and print servers. OSI Reference Model A seven-layer model developed by the International Standards Organization that is used as a reference for developing protocols.
Appendix D Glossary PCL A page description language originally developed by Hewlett-Packard for its LaserJet printers. PCONSOLE A NetWare utility program for configuring and managing printers. PDL An abbreviation for Page Description Language. Peer-to-Peer (1) A LAN in which nodes communicate with each other without the need for a file server. (2) A new protocol for peer-to-peer communications that is included with Windows 95 (also known as Direct Mode IPX).
Appendix D Glossary PPD See Printer Description File. PPL An ANSI-standard page description language originally used in the DEC LN03 laser printer. Printcap File The file on a UNIX host computer (usually in the /etc directory) that contains a list of printers. PRINTCON A NetWare utility program for defining the characteristics of the print job. PRINTDEF A NetWare utility program for defining the characteristics of a printer or form.
Appendix D Glossary Queue Server In Novell NetWare, a queue server is basically the same as a NetWare print server. Queue Server mode is a NetWare printing method in which the printer is directly connected to the print server with no PSERVER NLM installed on the file server. rarp Reverse Arp, a standard TCP/IP method of determining a device’s IP address based on its Ethernet address. Raw TCP port A type of TCP port (see TCP port) in which data is passed unmodified to the receiving node.
Appendix D Glossary Router A device that connects networks together. A router operates at level 3 of the OSI Reference model. A router is called a gateway in TCP/IP terminology. RPRINTER The method for connecting a remote printer to a print server in NetWare V3.xx and V2.xx (replaced by NPRINTER in NetWare V4.xx). See also Remote Printer. RS-232 The most common serial interface electrical standard. RS/6000 IBM's RISC-based family of computers. SCO UNIX A PC-based UNIX developed by the Santa Cruz Operation.
Appendix D Glossary Shell Script The UNIX equivalent of a batch file. See batch file. SMTP Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, a protocol used to send E-mail messages over the Internet. SNAP See Ethernet_SNAP. SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol, a protocol for monitoring and controlling devices on a network. Solaris A UNIX operating system developed by Sun Microsystems that runs on Sun computers and Intel-based PCs.
Appendix D Glossary Subnetwork One of several small networks that are joined together into a single large network. Subnet Mask A TCP/IP method of dividing a network into several smaller subnetworks. Symbiont Software that handles job queuing and printing on an operating system. SYSCON A NetWare utility for managing file servers from a client workstation.
