Connecting a Network Printer to the BPX Switch
In most systems, the network printer is connected to a serial port on the Cisco WAN Manager NMS
terminal server. The maintenance log and all statistics data reside on the Cisco WAN Manager. For more
information about specifications, refer to the
Cisco WAN Manager User’s Guide .
However, it is possible to connect a printer to a node and use various BPX switch software print
commands to print locally. This is helpful during the initial network installation phase.
