CHAPTER 6: EPS Configuration
TCP/IP users may want to set a TCP/IP address or gateway host (SET
SERVER IPADDRESS or GATEWAY commands). You might need a
gateway host if you have routers on your network and wish to print from
non-local networks. The EPS will listen for routing packets (RIP, OSPF,
etc.) to auto-select a router, but if these packets are not on your network,
you must set a gateway host.
All four protocols use the server’s buffer size (SET/DEFINE SERVER
BUFFER) to control what size network buffers to use to read and write data.
The factory defaults should be adequate, but you may wish to change the
default value to see if performance improves.
NetWare, TCP/IP, and LAT users can actually log into the EPS from the
network to manage or monitor the server. You can allow, prevent, or require
a password for this via the SET SERVER INCOMING command.
6.2 Passwords
There are 4 passwords on the EPS: the privileged password, login password,
maintenance password, and service passwords.
• The privileged password is the password you must enter to become the
privileged user. It defaults to “SYSTEM” and can be changed via
SET/DEFINE SERVER PRIVILEGED PASSWORD.
• You must enter the login password to log into the EPS “console” (via
EPSCON, TSM, or Telnet). It defaults to “ACCESS” and can be changed
via SET/DEFINE SERVER LOGIN PASSWORD.
The EPS also uses the login password to log into NetWare file servers. If
you change the login password, you must also change any NetWare print
queue setups to reflect the new password.
• The maintenance password is a hexadecimal string required to allow the
MOP/NCP/TSM users access to the EPS. You can change it via
SET/DEFINE SERVER MAINTENANCE PASSWORD. The default is “0”
(zero).
• You need service passwords to access a service via LAT or TCP/IP. The
passwords are specific to each service; you can change them via the
SET/DEFINE SERVICE PASSWORD command. The default is no
password. NetWare and AppleTalk have no way to specify a queue
password, so password protection is not enforced for those protocols.
