Command Shell Overview

The NIC comes with an in-depth command shell called

npsh

. It

allows you to manipulate objects like destinations, I/O ports, and
models and provides monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities.

npsh Access Methods

There are many ways this command shell can be accessed:

•

built in HTML forms

•

a Telnet session from a TCP/IP host to the NIC

•

a single remote shell command (e.g.,

rsh

rcmd

remsh

) from

a TCP/IP host

•

a PTX_SETUP command file containing one or more npsh
commands sent through a printer data port (serial, parallel,
etc.)
