To change the group name in a NetBEUI-only network:
1
Load the Printer Management Software CD-ROM.
2
Copy “showprn.exe” and “nbmon.exe” to your Windows
directory from the Printer Management Software CD. The
path is: <CD drive>:\INSTAL\UTILITY\NETBIOS
3
Open a DOS shell and type
showprn.exe
. A list of
CentreDirect External Print Server (External Ethernet
Adapter) on your local network segment should appear.
If NETBEUI is not your default protocol, it may be
necessary to use the “-d#“ command option to
show the list of CentreDirect External Print Server
(External Ethernet Adapter)s. In this case, the
syntax is
showprn.exe -d#
, where # is a number
between 0 and 7. Some experimentation may be
required to find the correct port number.
4
Verify that the CentreDirect External Print Server
(External Ethernet Adapter) appears in the list. The default
name is of the format “XRXaaaaaa”, where “aaaaaa” are
the last six digits of the CentreDirect External Print Server
(External Ethernet Adapter) Ethernet address.
5
Type
nbmon.exe XRXaaaaaa
to open a session with the
CentreDirect External Print Server (External Ethernet
Adapter). If the “-d#” option was required for
showprn.exe, it should be used with nbmon.exe also.
6
The CentreDirect External Print Server (External Ethernet
Adapter) will return a list of options. Type
!
to enter a
monitor session.
