Telnet
Telnet commands can be used to configure PrintNet settings
remotely. A TCP/IP host starts a Telnet session with the print
server and logs into the device command shell to alter and view
settings.
Example:
telnet 192.75.11.9
NOTE: The default User ID is root. There is no password by
default, just press
ENTER . If you have changed the default
User ID and password, use the current User ID and the
associated password instead of the defaults. For more
information on setting passwords, see “PrintNet Security”
on page 203.
Setup through Data Stream
The PTX_SETUP command can also be used to configure PrintNet
settings through a printer data port (serial, parallel, or network etc.).
This is done by creating a text file containing the PTX_SETUP
command and PrintNet internal command shell (npsh) commands.
The text file is then sent to the printer through a data port to perform
the PrintNet configuration. The following is an example of a
PTX_SETUP file that can be used to configure the PrintNet:
!PTX_SETUP
NIC_SETUP
store net 1 addr 190.168.2.11
END_NIC_SETUP
PTX_END
