Set/Define Server Software
11 - 35
11.72 Set/Define Server Software
Specifies the name of the download software file (if any) that the server will attempt to load at
boot time. For IP or LAT-loading hosts, this is the file that will be requested at boot time. For TFTP
loading, you can also specify the complete pathname of the file if the file is located in a directory
other than the default.
NOTE: This option is only useful if a Define command is used; if a Set command is used,
the setting will be cleared/reset at boot time.
Restrictions You must be the privileged user to use this command.
Parameters filename
Enter the desired loadfile name of up to 11 characters. The server will add
the “.SYS” extension to the filename.
For TFTP loading, a pathname of up to 15 characters not including the
filename can be specified, and should be placed in quotes to preserve
lowercase characters.
Examples
Local> DEFINE SERVER SOFTWARE
RapidPrint 500
Local> DEFINE SERVER SOFTWARE "SYS:\LOGIN\PS1.SYS"
Local> DEFINE SERVER SOFTWARE “/tftpboot/tscode”

tion Guide .
11.73 Set/Define Server Startupfile
Configures the startup configuration file that the RapidPrint 500 will attempt to download at boot
time. This file contains the RapidPrint 500 commands that will configure the server before any
users and services, etc., are started. If a text hostname is used for TFTP, the name must be resolv-
able at boot time, otherwise you must use an IP address.
Both the Telnet and NCP consoles are available at the time the server attempts to download the
startupfile; if there is a problem with the download, you can still log into the server and determine
what went wrong.
