Using the Terminal Server Capabilities
The M04’s built-in command set includes telnet which allows the unit to act as a ter-
minal server as well as a print server. The Print Server’s terminal serving capabilities
can be used in a number of ways including connecting a terminal to a network or using
a terminal as an output device.
To use the Print Server’s terminal serving capabilities to connect a terminal to the net-
work, you need to:
1 Physically attach the terminal to one of the serial ports on the Print Server.
2 Press the <Break> key and at the prompt, type in the IP address of the host that
you want to connect to.
3 Login to the host.
In addition, ping is provided for testing TCP/IP configuration parameters and network
connections with target hosts. Please see ping on page 90 and telnet on page 112 for
command details.

Setting Password Security
Besides the general security measures mentioned in Network Security on page 119, a
Novell setup provides further password security. A password can be set on the M204
and within your PCONSOLE setup so that when the M204 tries to login to the file
server, the passwords are compared.
To configure a PSERVER setup with password protection:
1 Establish a password on the M204.
Please use store pserver on page 107.
2 Reset or reboot the Print Server to make the password take affect.
3 Enter PCONSOLE as supervisor on your Novell host.
4 Select PRINT SERVER INFORMATION from the Main Menu.
5 Select the appropriate print server and press <Enter>.
