Using Netport Manager

Managing the NetportExpress Print Server

The NetportExpress print server supports several network and printer
management tools. The Windows-based Netport Manager application
provides print server configuration, status, and management for all
supported network operating systems.

You also can access telnet and a web-based interface, Web Netport
Manager, which provides additional methods for managing the
NetportExpress print server. These two services require an IP address
for the NetportExpress print server.

To view status

Select a NetportExpress print server and click the status button.

To change parallel port speed

Select a NetportExpress print server. Click the Properties button, and
click a parallel port tab.

To change configuration

Right-click a NetportExpress print server and choose Configure print
services from the pop-upmenu.

To reset a NetportExpess print server to factory defaults

Right-click the NetportExpress print server and choose Factory
Defaults from the pop-up menu.

To update a print server using flash technology

Select the NetportExpress print servers you want to update. (Holding
down the shift key will let you select more than one print server. The
selected print servers must be in the same network segment.) Click the
Update button.

To change communications parameters (such as LIP for NetWare)

Select a NetportExpress print server and choose Communications from
the Options menu.
