EtherP Admin Administration
The
Log
tab contains a tree branch for each error that occurs. Error log entry
branches contain detailed information about the problem, which should be able to
assist your or technical support representative to locate the problem.
The
Save to File...
button at the bottom of the dialog window allows you to save a
text file listing all of the entries in the Device Diagnostic window. You can use this
function to keep a record of your print server’s settings for future reference. The
contents of this file may also be useful to your technical support representative if you
encounter problems you are unable to resolve.
Appendix: Telnet Interface Administration
This appendix describes the use the
telnet
interface for controlling and configuring
HyperNet Fastprint network print servers.
Setting an IP Address without EtherP Admin
The
EtherP Admin
program allows you to set your print server’s IP address (and
other TCP/IP parameters). If you don’t have a Windows-based workstation and you
need to set your print server’s address, you can use a BOOTP (Boot Protocol) server,
or the manual method described below.
If you want to use BOOTP, your local Ethernet network needs to have a BOOTP
server. The BOOTP server table needs to have an entry listing the print server’s
Ethernet (MAC) address, the IP address you want to assign to the print server, the
network’s mask, and the default gateway (router) address. Consult your BOOTP
server documentation for information about how to add an entry to the server table.
If you aren’t using BOOTP, you can manually set the IP address using the following
method:
1.
Note your print server’s Ethernet (MAC) address. The Ethernet address is a
12-digit hex number printed on a sticker on the bottom of your print server.
2.
Use a host on the same local Ethernet network as the print server. Change
your host’s ARP (address resolution protocol) table to add a mapping from the
IP address you want to assign to the print server’s Ethernet address. For many
TCP/IP systems, this is done with a command of the form:
