IP Security
Raw TCP
Ports
The TROY PocketPro 100S provides a means of allowing only host computers with authorized IP addresses to
access the print server. This is very useful for applications like check printing, where general access to the
printer is not allowed. The console command SET IP ACCESS ENABLED ipaddress enters a host
computer IP address into the access table of the print server (where ipaddress is the IP address of the host
computer; refer to Appendix A for information on using the print server console). To remove an IP address, use
the command SET IP ACCESS DISABLED ipaddress. To reenable general access, use the command
SET IP ACCESS ALL.
The TROY PocketPro 100S provides a raw TCP port capability that can be used by any application that can open
and send data to a TCP port. The port number is 9100 (238C hex) for the parallel port. The ports pass data
through unmodified, so there is no TELNET interpretation provided. When using the raw TCP ports, make sure
that TELNET interpretation is disabled in your software or else you may get distorted printouts.
The raw TCP port is compatible with many popular software packages, including HP's JetDirect software for
UNIX, TGV Multinet (streams mode), IBM AIX for the RS/6000 (V3.25 or later), and any TCP/IP-based
software that supports HP's JetDirect Ethernet network interface card.
The HP JetDirect software for UNIX is available for Sun Solaris, SunOS, and HP/UX. HP printer users can
download these utilities from the HP web site (http://www.hp.com).
To use a TROY PocketPro 100S print server with the HP host printing utilities on an HP/UX or Sun system,
perform the following steps:
1. Download the software from the HP web site (http://hp.com).
2. If the download file is in tar format, use the tar xvf filename command to extract the software, where filename
is the name of the software that you downloaded (you must be logged in as root). If the file is in pkgadd
format, use the pkgadd -d filename all command to extract the software. Accept the default
directory to store the files. Follow the instructions in the README files to install the software.
3. Run JetAdmin by typing jetadmin at the UNIX prompt (on SunOS 4.xx systems, you use the hpnpcfg
program instead of JetAdmin, but the configuration steps are similar).
4. Select item 1 (Configuration) and then select item 3 (Add printer to local spooler).
