76 CONFIGURING THE M208 FOR APPLETALK: Additional Configuration Options
M208name_papname
where M208name is the name of the M208 and papname is
an M208 I/O port. Both names are configurable.
M_000BF5_prn
is the printer associated with the M208 named M_000BF5 using the parallel port.
The Print Server’s default name is M_xxxxxx where xxxxxx equals the last six
digits of the unit’s Ethernet address found on the bottom of the unit.
3 From the list of printers, select one to print to.
You have now configured your AppleTalk system to print to the M208.
Additional Configuration Options
AppleTalk Zones
If the M208 does not come up in the correct AppleTalk zone, you can configure a par-
ticular zone name on the unit. To do this, start an npsh session with the unit and enter
the following command:
store pserver apple zone [
zonename
]
reset
where zonename is the zone where you want the M208 to appear.
To clear the AppleTalk zone, type the command without entering a zonename and
press <Enter>.
Changing M208 Name
By default, the M208’s name is
M208name_papname
where M208name is the name
of the M208 and papname is an M208 I/O port. The npsh command, list pserver, will
give you a listing showing both the M208 name and the papname.
The following example details the steps necessary to change the name that appears in
the Chooser from M_000BF5_prn to Sales_laser.
1 Start an npsh session with the unit.
2 Enter the name that you would like to appear for the M208 (e.g. Sales). This will
make up the first part of the name in the Chooser.
