Using GCC tools to remotely configure NEST on your printer
GCC provides two tools to let you remotely configure NEST.
If your network uses TCP/IP, WebAdmin allows you to view and/or change many param-
eters of the printer using a World Wide Web browser over an Ethernet network. Please see
the WebAdmin section of this manual for information on installation and setup of the
WebAdmin utility.
If your network doesn’t use TCP/IP, you can use the NEST Config tool to view and config-
ure NEST printers.
Using WebAdmin to set up NEST
The following instructions for setting up NEST with a GCC printer apply to both NetWare
3.12 and 4.X.
All GCC printers on the network that you are intending to use with NEST MUST be
accessible using WebAdmin. The following instructions assume you have followed the
setup in Section 2 and are able to access the printer using WebAdmin.
First, ensure that NEST is enabled on the printer.
1. Launch your World Wide Web browser and attached to your printer as
explained in Section 2.
2. Select (click) NETWORKS from the WebAdmin main menu. The Networks
main menu is displayed.
3. If NEST is disabled, use the pull-down menu to enable it and restart your
printer.
4. Once the printer is configured with NEST enabled, select the NEST link.
The NEST Subjects menu appears.
The NEST Subjects menu displays the available subject items (General, Network,
NPRINTER and PSERVER) that may be changed. If you select one of the links on this
page, a menu of parameters will be displayed for the subject you have selected.
The following information pertains only to those items that are required to change for
NEST printing. If you are installing under NetWare 3.12, continue with the instructions
below. If you are installing under NetWare 4.x, skip to the section that deals with this
version of NetWare.
