EtherP Admin Administration
♦
An ordinary reset has the same effect as powering off the print server and
powering it back on again. Statistics counters will be cleared, but all of the
print server’s configuration settings will be retained.
♦
A factory reset not only restarts the print server, but changes all of its
configuration settings back to their original values, as the print server was
shipped from the factory.
WARNING:
Do not perform a factory reset unless you are absolutely sure this is what you want. All
settings, including the print server’s TCP/IP network address, will be erased and
replaced with their original values.
To reset the print server,
1.
Choose Tools from the Main Menu.
[Tools]
1 - Reset
2 - Factory Reset
3 - Download Firmware
0 - Return to Main Menu
Enter Selection:
2.
Choose the Reset or Factory Reset menu item, depending on the type of reset
you wish to perform. The print server will ask for confirmation.
3.
Confirm the reset by entering
y
and pressing Enter. The telnet connection will
drop, and the print server will reset itself. If you selected Factory Reset, all of
the print server’s default configuration values will be restored.
Upgrading Print Server Firmware
The print server’s internal software is stored in Flash memory, which allows you to
upgrade it to an updated version without shipping the print server back to your
distributor. Consult your dealer or check the Hypertec web site
(
www.hypertec.co.uk
) for information about when updated print server firmware
versions are available.
To upgrade your print server’s firmware, you will need to have a TFTP server on
your network. A TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) server is provided with most
versions of the U
NIX
operating system, as well as with many other operating systems
that support TCP/IP networking. Consult your system documentation for detailed
information about establishing a TFTP server.
You will also need to have copies of the updated firmware. Firmware updates are
contained in to related files, a larger one with a
.BIN
extension, and a smaller one
having a
.DWL
extension.
Both
of these files are necessary for the download to be
completed successfully. The files should be stored on your TFTP server with
uppercase filenames.
