TCP/IP Configuration
Overview
This chapter provides an overview of TCP/IP configuration. For detailed printer
configuration instructions, refer to Chapter 7, “TCP/IP Printer Configuration (All
Platforms)”; for host configuration instructions, refer to the chapter for your
environment:
■ Chapter 8, “TCP/IP Host Configuration (UNIX)”
■ Chapter 9, “TCP/IP Configuration (OS/2 Warp/LAN Server)”
■ Chapter 10, “Windows NT”
■ Chapter 11, “Windows 95 and Windows 98: PhaserPort Software”
PhaserShare Series B Ethernet and Token Ring interfaces support the following
capabilities:
■ Print jobs. The interface can accept print jobs sent via AppSocket, ftp,
telnet, lpr, or lp with lpr extensions.
■ Printer status. The interface can report printer status through the
following protocols:
■ lpq/lpc (lpc for UNIX BSD systems only).
■ Syslog (UNIX systems only). This protocol functions like a remote
printer front panel for reporting printer status.
■ SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol; UNIX systems only).
The printer’s interface responds to status queries from host-resident
SNMP utilities.
■ AppSocket. This protocol allows a direct, socket-level connection to
the printer.
■ HTTP (HyperText Transport Protocol). This protocol allows
communication with the printer via PhaserLink Printer Management
Software.
