Overview of Print Server Installation
This section will provide an overview of the basic steps required to install the M208 in
the various supported environments: Unix, Novell (PSERVER and RPRINTER), Net-
BIOS over TCP/IP, and AppleTalk.
Before installing the M208, it may be useful to look at Appendix A, Planning Your
Print Setup on page 203 for advantages/disadvantages of various configuration
options.
Basic Unix Configuration
The following outlines the basic steps required to add a M208 to a Unix
network.
Once the unit is physically attached to the network, you need to:
1 Assign an IP address, netmask, and possibly a default router to the M208. This
can be done in several ways:
• automatically with ezsetup or npconfig (Option 1 from the Main Menu).
Please see page 36.
• manually through the network using ARP. Please see page 37.
• manually through the network using RARP. Please see page 38.
• manually through the network using BOOTP. Please see page 39.
• manually through the COM port. Please see page 40.
2 Configure the print setup on the host to print to this unit. This can be done in sev-
eral ways depending on your host system.
• automatically with ezsetup or npconfig (Option 2 from the Main Menu)
Please see page 36.
• manually for a BSD Unix environment. Please see page 47.
• manually for a System V Unix environment. Please see page 51.
• manually for a AIX Unix environment. Please see page 59.
