Configuring Token Ring parameters
■ On UNIX systems, you can use the script config-TokenRing, provided
with the printer’s network utilities software. See the next topic, “Using
the config-TokenRing script”.
■ On PCs, you can edit the PostScript utility file TOKNCFG.PS and send
it to the printer. See the README file in the UTILS directory on the
printer’s network utilities diskettes or CD-ROM for details.
■ On a Macintosh, you can edit the PostScript utility file Configure Token
Ring and send it to the printer. See the ReadMe file in the Network
Utilities folder on the printer’s network utilities diskettes or CD-ROM
for details.
■ Windows users on NetWare networks can use the PhaserShare
Administrator. See “Using the PhaserShare Administrator to configure
Token Ring” on page 15.
■ With a TCP/IP connection and a World Wide Web browser, you can
use PhaserLink. “Using PhaserLink software to configure Token Ring”
on page 15.
Whichever method you use, reset the printer to make the changes take effect.
Using the
config-TokenRing
script
The UNIX shell script config-TokenRing is provided with the printer’s network
utilities software. The script creates a PostScript file containing the Token Ring
parameters. Set the Token Ring parameters by sending the PostScript file to the
printer.
Before performing this procedure, install the script on your host computer. If
you have not already installed the file, see “Extracting files from unix.tar” on
page 30. Your host spooling system must also be configured; see Chapter 5,
“TCP/IP Configuration (UNIX)”.
1.
Connect the printer to the network. ARP (Address Resolution
Protocol) requires that the printer be connected on the same physical
network segment as the host. You will be using the arp command later
in this procedure.
