126 USING THE M204’S ADDITIONAL OPTIONS: TCP/IP Options
• default routes for generic or unknown network addresses to use,
• static routes to known network addresses such as a particular host or network.
To set a default router or a static route, please see store tcpip on page 110 and to look
at the current routing entries, please see list tcpip on page 88.
Remotely Managing the M204
In a TCP/IP environment, various methods are available for remotely monitoring the
Print Server. These include:
• a Telnet session,
• using rsh/rcmd/remsh and a command from the unit’s command set,
• using npconfig’s Detailed Configuration Options Sub-Menu,
• using the FTP Daemon,
• through an SNMP manager.
Maintaining Network Security
Besides the general security measures mentioned in Network Security on page 119,
the M204 provides two more for TCP/IP environments. These include:
• a TCP access list,
• scrambling/descrambling of print jobs.
Access List
The TCP access list protects the Print Server and its configuration while the scram-
bling protects your print data from being viewed by others as it passes over the net-
work to the M204.
The M204 has the ability to control host access to printer destinations and remote
command execution services. This is done using an access list, similar in function to
the UNIX .rhosts file. If the access list is empty, any host can have access to the
M204’s services. If there are entries in the access list, only those hosts specified have
access to these services. Although the maximum number of entries is 10, each entry
can refer to a network or a host so more than 10 machines can be enabled.
