5.3.4 Installation on BSD UNIX Systems

Install.sh

creates a spool directory and makes a config. file

/usr/

spool/<

printer name>/.fpconfig

. To install:

1. Load the

install.sh

software.

2. Type

./install.sh

to run the install script.

3. Choose FastPort by its model number.

4. Choose

Option #1, LPD-based systems

5. If an IP address has not been assigned, select

Option #1, Configure

a FastPort

If one has been, go to step 7.

6. Choose the following:

a. Host naming method (

/etc/hosts/file

b. Host name and IP address for FastPort.

c. Hardware (Ethernet) address of FastPort.

d. UNIX system type.

e. Enter monitor mode and press [i] to assign an IP address.

f. Press [r] to issue a command to reset FastPort.

g. Continue to step 7 to install the printer.

7. At the main menu, select

Option #2, Install a printer or

plotter

. The software prompts for:

a. Whether to install host software or use direct LPD.

b. Type of data sent to the printer (
