8 HP e3000/NIC
Configuration
Overview
This chapter details the HP e3000 Host Configuration setup and
NIC setup.
HP e3000 / MPE-XL / MPE / iX: Host Configuration
Follow the instructions below to configure printing to a NIC by using TCP/IP
print to socket, sometimes referred to as “native tcpip mode.” The
configuration parameters are set via entries in the file “npconfig”
(npconfig.pub.sys).
1. If you have not already done so, use program sysgen (sysgen.pub.sys) to
add the necessary logical device descriptions. Create one logical device
for each P5000LJ Series Printer you wish to add:
a. log in as
MANAGER.SYS
b. enter the command
:run sysgen.pub.sys
c. at the
>
prompt, enter
io
to start the I/O configurator
d. enter the command
io> ad ldev=xx;id=HPTCPJD;path=NONE
HPTCPJD
is the HP-supplied logical network device type.
e. enter the
ld xx
configuration command to view the addition, where
xx
is the logical device number you chose in step d.
f. enter the commands:
io> hold
(
to save the I/O configuration)
io> exit
(
to exit the I/O configurator)
Note With the release of MPE/iX version 5.5 and higher, it is now possible to use
the spooler on the HP e3000 to control printing on devices attached to a
network. The Native Mode Spooler Reference Manual (HP P/N 32650-
90166, Edition 5, Sept. 1998 or later) and Configuring and Managing MPE/
iX Internet Services (HP P/N 32650-90835) are essential references to
assist you in this configuration.
