Preface Xerox 4500 PS ETH, User’sGuide Preface July 1997 We congratulate you on your purchase of the Xerox 4500 PS ETH. The Xerox 4500 PS ETH forms part of a series of print servers developed with the purpose of migrating printing know-how into the LAN environment. This manual covers the installation and configuration of the Xerox 4500 PS ETH operating in different environments. For this reason the Xerox 4500 PS ETH will throughout this manual be referred to as Xerox 4500 PS ETH.

Introduction Xerox 4500 PS ETH, Inst. & Operator's Guide 1. Introduction to Xerox 4500 PS ETH The Xerox 4500 PS ETH is basically viewed as a “Plug and Go” product in terms of printing directly from Windows using NetBIOS/NetBEUI. If you want to use one of the other protocols, a minimum configuration on protocol level is required. This minimum configuration is system dependent and no default value will apply. For details on minimum configuration on protocol level, see the chapter: “Configuration”.
PAGE 9
Introduction Xerox 4500 PS ETH, Inst. & Operator's Guide To avoid print mixing , some sharing functions have been implemented. See the chapter “Configuration ” for details. Redirected host print The Xerox 4500 PS ETH may also be used for redirected printing using the ida ReRouter, idaMON or idaIPPC . See the separate document “Redirected SNA AFP Printing - Ethernet” included on the diskette for details). Filename: “Redirect” 1.

Introduction Xerox 4500 PS ETH, Inst. & Operator's Guide 1.1.2 TCP/IP protocol s The TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) protocol is routable and enables the Xerox 4500 PS ETH to reside on any network in an Internet environment.
PAGE 11
Introduction Xerox 4500 PS ETH, Inst. & Operator's Guide As default the NetBEUI/NetBios protocol will be enabled and as such is ready to print using the default values. 1.1.4 PU/LU protocol When running in SNA SCS mode, the Xerox 4500 PS ETH will emulate the Xerox 3270 interface products providing support for LU1 SCS, FSL and ICDS. The Xerox 4500 PS ETH supports SNA SCS printing via PU2/LU1. It is installed and behaves as a network connected SNA PU2 cluster controller with 1 printer attached.

NOTE: If the PrintServer is to be used for TCP/IP print, you need to define an IP address in the PrintServer. If you wish to configure via the Web browser or using Telnet, you need to define an IP address in the PrintServer as well. You do this in Psinst32 or via BOOTP.
PAGE 27
Configuration Xerox 4500 PS ETH, Inst. & Operator's Guide 3.2 Minimum configuration With a minimum configuration on protocol level in addition to the default settings, the PrintServer is ready for operation. A minimum configuration is necessary as it is system dependent and no default value will apply. The parameters stated in the minimum configuration are mandatorysettings for the PrintServer to become operational.

Configuration Xerox 4500 PS ETH, Inst. & Operator's Guide 3.7 Setting Up via BOOTP server The TCP/IP BOOTP daemon on the server supports one or more remote devices. When the PrintServer is powered on, it broadcasts an initialisation request to all LAN systems. The BOOTP server receives the hardware address and looks for a match of the hardware address in the BOOTPTAB file. The BOOTP server has a BOOTPTAB file which is a correspondence file for hardware addresses and IP addresses.
PAGE 77
Configuration Xerox 4500 PS ETH, Inst. & Operator's Guide Bootfile Entry The bootfile entry refers to a file which contains the additional configuration settings for the particular device. In the bootfile, a reference may also be given to a microcode file. Microcode File This file contains the microcode file that can be downloaded to the print server. For further details please see Appendix B: Microcode Upgrading.

Configuration Xerox 4500 PS ETH, Inst. & Operator's Guide 3.7.1 BOOTP process So far, this chapter has only been dealing with the setting up of the PrintServer from a BOOTP server. However, the PrintServer can also be equipped with a so-called “ default configuration”. This default configuration will be carried out if the PrintServer cannot detect a BOOTP server at the time the PrintServer is powered on. The default settings are similar to the ones defined on the BOOTP server.
PAGE 80
Configuration Xerox 4500 PS ETH, Inst. & Operator's Guide 3.7.2 Setting up the TFTP Daemon For the BOOTP server to download the settings to the print server, TFTP must be enabled. TFTP in AIX Environment The TFTP daemon is normally managed by the INETD super-daemon. The INETD starts a TFTPD when a request is received. The TFTPD satisfies the request and then dies. You need to configure INETD so that it performs this service.
PAGE 81
Configuration Xerox 4500 PS ETH, Inst. & Operator's Guide TFTP in OS/2 Environment 1. Start TCP/IP Configurati on located in the TCP/IP folder. 2. Select the Autostart tab. 3. Tick the box labelled "Enable this machine to start the INETD super server". 4. Tick the box labelled "Enable others to access your files by using TFTP". Also tick the "INETD" push-button. 5. Shutdown your “TCP/IP Configuration” and check that the new settings have been saved. 6. Restart the INETD.

After making the necessary amendments to the BOOTPTAB file, you are now ready to start the BOOTP server and then verify the configuration by performing a test printout. 1. Start the BOOTP server Use the BOOTP server debug option (-d) to verify the correct operation. E.g.

Verify that the settings match the definitions in the BOOTPTAB file and the bootfile. Appendix D contains settings printout. 3. ‘’PING’’ the unit from the workstation to verify physical LAN and IP network connectivity. a. Invoke the PING command and the IP address or host name of the unit. For example: PING 192.0.110.1 b.

Default is 120 minutes. The inetcfg command must be run each time the OS/2 system is started.

PSF/AIX Printing Using TCP/IP This chapter provides details on: Adding a TCP/IP attached printer Setup of the KEEPALIVE TCP/IP feature Requirements Before IPDS printing using TCP/IP can be accomplished, the following points need to be checked: 1. AIX1.2 with PTF U436937 or later must be installed.

PSF/AIX Printing Using TCP/IP Xerox 4500 PS ETH, Inst. & Operator's Guide 18.2 KEEPALIVE support for AIX The TCP/IP components in AIX offer network attachment for printers. However, these TCPIP components do not always detect connection failures if a point-to-point session between the AIX machine and the device has failed (e.g. in connection with a printer being abruptly powered off).
PAGE 145
PSF/AIX Printing Using TCP/IP Xerox 4500 PS ETH, Inst. & Operator's Guide The "no" commands must be run each time the AIX system is started. Adding the "no" commands to /etc/rc.net is a convenient way of automating this step. Adding e.g. no -o tcp_keepidle=480 no -o tcp_keepintvl=80 to /etc/rc.net causes the TCP to send a KEEPALIVE transmission if a TCP connection has been inactive for 4 minutes and the application requested KEEPALIVE transmissions, as AIX now does.

Problem Determination Xerox 4500 PS ETH, Inst. & Operator's Guide 19. Problem Determination This chapter describes how to monitor the operations of the PrintServer and how to troubleshoot the supported protocols during installation, configuration, and printing. 19.1 Monitoring tools The operations of the PrintServer may be monitored using the SNMP (MIB II) or the LEDs on the rear panel. 19.1.1 SNMP support The PrintServer has been added support for SNMP using TCP/IP as protocol for LAN access.
PAGE 147
Problem Determination Xerox 4500 PS ETH, Inst. & Operator's Guide 19.1.1.2 Preparing for use of SNMP To use the SNMP, the SNMP related parameters for the PrintServer must be defined using one of the supported configuration tools (see chapter 3). PS name Specifies the attached PrintServer. Contact name: Specifies the contact person for this managed node. System location: Specifies the physical location of this node.

IPDS applications must use port nos. 5001 and 5002 ICDS applications must use port nos. 5005 and 5006 • Non-AFP printing using TCP/IP - check that the IP address used by th e host is that defined in the PrintServer.

Problem Determination Xerox 4500 PS ETH, Inst. & Operator's Guide Can you PING thePrintServer? • If not, the reason may be that one of the bridge s is actually a router. In that case, the PrintServer and PSF/2-PSF/AIX should have different IP network IDs. PSF2/PSF6000 should have a default router and the PrintServer should be configured with a gateway address. • You may also have used an invalid IP address in network. Refer to the section : ”Testing PrintServer” for a description of how to "PING".
