Chapter 6 Configuration - Administration
NOTE: Not all of the alerts are available on all of the printers. The alerts
available for monitoring will depend on the printer type and the
options installed on the printer.
Configuration - Administration
The Administration Configuration form is broken down into general print
server-related settings and password security.
System Information
The System Information form allows you to specify the following information
about the printer:
• Name - name given to the print server in Novell and Windows
environments. The defaul name is "M_xxxxxx" where "xxxxxx" equals the
last six digits of the network adapter's Ethernet address. (e.g. M_031C1A)
• Description - optional field to help identify the printer’s features and
capabilities
• Location - optional field to help identify the printer’s physical location
• Contact - optional field to help identify the individual or group responsible
for the printer.
Passwords
Only a user with root privileges can alter the NIC's settings. Guest users can
only view settings but cannot alter them. Both types of users can be assigned
passwords. To change a password, type in the old password in the "Old" field.
Then type the new password twice: once in the "New" field, and once in the
"Confirm" field.
Default: No passwords for root or guest users.
