ETHERNET PRINT SERVER
Appendix E: Quick-Start Guide
NOTE: Read this appendix only if you are loading a new boot image on the print server.
If you’re a manager who has installed print/terminal servers before and are
very familiar with BOOTP, RARP, TFTP, NetWare, and/or MOP downloading
configuration, read this chapter to set your EPS up quickly.
If you’ve never installed a server before, read the full installation
instructions in Chapter 3.
Experienced managers can follow these steps to quickly setup the EPS:
1. Attach the server to the network, via transceiver, AUI cable, or 10BASE-T
cable.
2. Attach the console device (we recommend a terminal) to the server. The
server will expect a console device connected to port 1, at 9600 baud, 8-bit
characters, and no parity.
3. If you have not yet installed the server software, do so now. Installing the
software will require approximately 5 megabytes of disk space.
• VMS: Use vminstal to install in the contents of the distribution tape. The
.SYS files will be installed in SYS$SYSROOT:[MOM$SYSTEM] by default.
Ensure that this directory is in the MOM$LOAD search path and that
MOP downloading is enabled.
• NetWare: Copy the download file(s) (PS1.SYS) from the enclosed floppy
disks onto your file server. The files will gave to be in the login directory
for this file server (generally SYS:\LOGIN). Also, there is an 11-character
limit on the EPS pathname—make sure the login directory conforms to
this limit.
• UNIX: tar the tape into the /tmp directory. You will then have to place
the download file (ETS.SYS, SPS.SYS, and/or PS1.SYS) file in whichever
directory your host’s TFTP server will look for them. If TFTP requires no
default directory, the EPS itself will allow only 15 characters of path
information, so place the files in a directory adhering to this limit. The
directory and files must have world read privileges.
If your host supports BOOTP, you may wish to add the server to the host’s
BOOTP configuration file (usually /usr/etc/bootptab). You will have to
add the server’s hardware address (from the rear of the unit), its IP
address, and the filename to download (PS1.SYS for the EPS). For
example:
