64 CONFIGURING THE M208 FOR NOVELL: M208 Configuration
To communicate with the unit using npsh.exe, you need to:
1 From a DOS prompt on a Novell workstation, begin an npsh session with the unit.
npsh
unitname
Starts a Telnet-like session with the named M208 with guest access only.
2 To obtain root access to the unit, type:
supervisor
A standard login screen is displayed prompting you for the login name and pass-
word.
3 Login to the unit as a root user.
root
Root users require the use of a password as configured in the unit’s user list.
4 Enter the password. If this password is not yet set, press enter at the password
prompt. Otherwise, enter the password that is already stored on the unit.
password
You are now logged in to the unit as a root user and can access any npsh command on
the unit.
Because npsh.exe makes use of broadcasts, you may have problems communicating
across a router.
Please see User Accounts and Permissions on page 94, USING THE M208’S COM-
MAND SET on page 93 and USING NPWIN on page 127 for further details.
M208 Configuration
The M208 configuration in a Novell environment is much simpler than that required in
a TCP/IP one. No addresses, masks, or router entries are necessary and in most cases,
the M208 can simply be connected to the network, turned on, and then configured for
printing from a Novell station through PCONSOLE. The only parameters that you
may want to set is a PSERVER password or possibly the frame type. Please see store
pserver on page 120. This type of configuration is done using npsh.exe as detailed in
the previous section.
