Microplex M204, Installation And Configuration Manual

Page: 152 / 204

144 USING THE M204’S ADDITIONAL OPTIONS: Serial Line IP
destined for this remote host will go to the M204.
store tcpip proxy add host [ remotehost ipaddress]
store tcpip proxy add host 192.147.242.3
4 Enable the IP gateway option on the M204 so that data packets will be sent from
the Local M204 network to the remote host.
store tcpip opts gateway
5 Create logins for the users who will be dialing-in from a remote host.
set user add userid
set user passwd userid [password]
6 Reset the Print Server to make these settings take effect.

7 The remote host can now dial-in to the modem. Once the connection is made with
the M204, they will be given a standard login screen where they will type their
user id and password and press <Enter>.
8 The standard npsh message will appear. At the prompt, type:
slip
This configures the serial port to SLIP for as long as the connection is maintained.
When the connection is dropped, the serial port reverts back to standard npsh mode.
The remote host is now part of the M204’s network as if it were a new host on that net-
work. Basically, whatever a host on the local network can do, the remote host can do.
The Print Server detects that the connection was dropped via the DCD signal on the
serial port pin. When connecting via a modem, this is usually handled by the modem
itself. If you are connecting to the serial port via a null modem cable, make sure that
the cable carries the DCD signal from the remote host so that the M204 will revert
back to npsh mode when the remote computer is turned off.
A serial port cannot be configured as both a SLIP connection and a print server desti-
nation. Any destinations that are configured to the serial port must be reconfigured to
another I/O port.
For more information on SLIP, please see set com1|com2 on page 92.
