TCP/IP
Requirements
This section describes the procedures for configuring the LAN
Manager file server to communicate with your XNIC via
TCP/IP.
Testing TCP/IP on
LAN Manager
Follow the instructions below to make sure your LAN
Manager system is properly set up for TCP/IP.
1
Log into the LAN Manager Server as ADMIN (or ADMIN
equivalent).
2
Verify that the OS/2 LAN Manager is installed with the
TCP/IP protocol stack.
Go to the LANMAN directory and enter SETUP.
Select
Configuration
.
Select
Network
Drivers
.
Verify that
TCP/IP
is listed as one of the network drivers.
Exit SETUP
.
3
Using the OS/2 System editor, open the CONFIG.SYS file
and verify it includes a line similar to:
D E V I C E =
L a n R o o t \ A R P A \ S O C K D R V . O S 2
where
L a n R o o t
is the LAN Manager root directory.
4
If necessary, adjust the settings for sockets and sessions.
Check the setting for NumSockets in the SOCKETS section
of the TCPUTILS. INI file. (This file is located in the LAN
Manager root directory.)
If there are other applications using TCP/IP sockets, or if
you are installing many printers, increase the number of
sockets to handle your network needs. (Remember that the
maximum number of queue connections per server is 16.)
Check the setting for Sessions in the PROTOCOL.INI file.
(This file is located in the LAN Manager root directory.)
Each Xerox Printer Managers print process uses one socket
per session (one socket session for each print job activated).
Make sure you have enough sessions to handle your
network needs.
