Note: Please refer to NetWare’s Print Server/Services manuals for detailed PCONSOLE commands. SNMP Setup TCP/IP networks use a standard management protocol called Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). SNMP is widely used in the industry as a solution for remote network management and monitoring of networking devices. SNMP actually includes a protocol, a database structure specification, and a set of database objects. The database objects are contained in a standard database called Management Information Base (MIB) that is stored on the networking device called SNMP agent. The print servers SNMP implementation runs in a TCP/IP environment. A host on the network running Network Management System (NMS) software can access the print server device by reading and writing the MIB objects stored in the device. The Network Management Systems are available from many third-party vendors, such as Hewlett-P ackard's OpenView. When accessing (traversing) MIB objects in the print server using NMS software called SNMP manager, you need to provide a community name in each SNMP request for authentication purpose. The print server supports up to two community names. The default community name is public (case-sensitive), with Read Only access right in default.

When an unusual condition or activity occurs, the SNMP agent alerts the SNMP manager through SNMP traps. Following listsummaries SNMP trap messages thatthe print server will send out. Activities/SNMP Trap Messages Description Link Up or Link Down When the network interface on the print server fails, a link down trap message is generated; if the network interface comes back to life, a link up trap message is sent. Cold Start or Warm Start When the print server restarts, the cold start or warm start trap message is generated. Authentication Failure When the print server received a SNMP request with a community name that does not match the community name the print server is configured with (stored in the print server's memory), an authentication failure trap message is generated. In the print server's SNMP implementation, the following MIB objects are available for updating. MIB Object Names Description system.sysContact Indicates the network administrator's name. system.sysName Indicates the print server's name for identification. system.sysLocation Indicates the location of the print server. snmp.snmpEnableAuthenTraps Enables or disables the function of sending SNMP Authentication Failure trap message to the network administrator, if the community name within a SNMP request is not correct. Users can set up print server's SNMP functions by using their browsers. 1.Click Setup, it then appears the sub-menu. 2.Click SNMP, it then as shown in the following picture.

Basic TCP/IP Installation Overview When installing your print server in a TCP/IP environment, IP addresses are essential as a basic means of communications. It is therefore necessary to first assign an IP address to your print server unit. After assigning an IP address, the print server can be configured accordingly. Assigning an IP Address The first step to install a print server on a TCP/IP network is to assign the print server an IP address and other related TCP/IP settings before the print server can function. You can select the following two methods to specify an IP address the print server. Each method will be detailed in the following section.

1. Use the Network Print Monitor utility.

2. Manually specify (using DOS commands or UNIX text-mode commands. This

applies to Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 and UNIX systems). Note: The Network Print Monitor can only search for the print server(s) over the same network segment the Windows NT/2000/XP/2003/UNIX computer is located. You would like to install a print server on a different network segment. DHCP The print server supports DHCP feature, allowing the print server to obtain an IP address and related TCP/IP settings automatically from a DHCP server. While the print server supports DHCP, we strongly recommend you manually specify a fixed IP address to the print server. By default, the print server's DHCP function is enabled.

General Troubleshooting Overview The most common problems, which cause the print server to perform improperly, are covered in this chapter. Ifa problem still exists after reading this chapter, please contact your dealer for technical support. LED Light Indicators The print server is equipped with LED lights to assist in diagnosing problems that are the result of the network and/or the print server hardware itself. Power (Green) When the print server unit is powered on, the Power LED will flash five times as part of the units Power On Self Test (POST). This indicates that the print server hardware is properly configured. Note: Make sure that the LED flashes five times (POST) upon connecting the power. If the unit does not flash five times, contact your dealer for a replacement or repair. WLAN (Green) Data is being transmitted via the wireless connectivity. USB (Green) Data is being transmitted via the USB port. Power Related Problems The print server requires an external AC power adapter in order for it to function. If you have a power problem, check to see whether the power cord or its connectors are damaged. More importantly, check to see that the AC power adapter included with the print server matches the AC voltage in your country or area. Using an incorrect AC adapter will damage your print server.

Print Port Related Problems Printing data failure may be caused by a loose connection of the print server to the USB port of the printer. Check to see if any of the pins on the USB connector are damaged. In addition, check the cable connection. If the pins are damaged, contact your dealer for a replacement connector. Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP/2003 Troubleshooting Multi-S egment LAN Environment Installation (through the Network Print Port) If your print server and Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP/2003 are located on two different segments, and your Windows NT server is used as the router/gateway you will need to implement the following procedures in order for your print server to function properly: ao Add the RIP for NWLink IPX/SPX compatible transport. See RIP for NWLink IPX/SPX compatible transport Installation Procedure later in this section. o Add the frame type 802.2 for both Ethernet adapters. See Multi-Segment Frame Type

Moving the print server to À New Segment If the print server is moved from one network segment to another after the initial installation, through the Network P rint P ort, the print server must be reconfigured on the original Windows NT server or on each Windows 95/98 computer using this print server in order for the print server's driver on each computer to re-establish a new connection. Print Server Reconfiguration Procedure on Windows 95/98/Me

1. Click Start on the bottom left hand corner of the screen.

2. Select Settings and select Printers.

3. Select your printer connected to the print server, and right-click the printer icon. Select

5. Click Port Settings as shown in the picture below. The print server will be displayed on

the next print server's configuration screen. Find your original print server according to its Port Name or other distinguished name and click this print server.

Select Settings and select Printers. Select your printer connected to the print server, and right-click the printer icon. Select Properties. Click Ports tab. Click Configure Port. The print server will be shown on the next screen. Find your original print server according to its Port Name or other distinguished name and click this print server. Click OK and it returns to the printer's Properties page. Click OK.

Moving Your Computer to A New Segment If you are using the print server through the Network Print Port on your NT or Windows 95/98/Me computer and your computer is going to be moved onto another segment, you have to reconfigure the print server on your computer to use your print server. However, this situation is like moving the print server to a new segment. Please refer to the “Moving the print server to a new segment” section for more detailed reconfiguration instructions. Novell NetWare Troubleshooting Many printing problems can be traced back to incorrect or incomplete print server installations. It is always wise to check the installation configurations first. In some cases, if necessary, delete the print server, print queue(s) or other setting(s). Next recreate the necessary parameters or reconfigure the print server by running the PSAdmin. TCP/IP Troubleshooting When you are configuring a new print server on your NT/UNIX server through LPR Port printing under TCP/IP protocol, you might encounter the following problem in your initial installation steps: "I can do the "arp" command. However, when | am going to ping or tftp the print server, it always shows Request timed out. | have checked the print server's power and it exactly passed the POST. Besides, the network cabling is OK. As such, 1 can't do tftp command to get and put the print server's configuration file and save its IP address permanently. | can't, therefore, continue installing the print server." Regarding this problem, there are three possible causes: A. The print server's Node ID you specified in the "arp" command is not correct. If this is the case, please ensure the Node ID field in the corresponding entry of the print server's IP address in NT's ARP cache table is correct by typing the following command at NT's DOS prompt. "arp -a" If the Node ID shown on the screen doesn't match the print server's Node ID, please follow the instructions below to reset the entry.

1. At NT's DOS prompt, type "arp -d <print server's IP address>" to delete the current

3. Refer to Chapter 7 for the detailed instructions to complete the installation.

B. The print server's IP address is duplicated or is as same as another computer's IP address on the network. Ifthis is the case, please consult your network administrator to obtain an unused IP address for your print server. C. The print server is on one segment and your Windows NT server is on the other segment. (This troubleshooting guide will also apply to a multiple-segmented network while installing the print server) For example, assuming the print server is on Segment À, NT server is on Segment B, and there is a gateway computer between Segment A and Segment B. The network might be a complete TCP/IP network, or a hybrid of TCP/IP and IPX/SPX network. If this is the case, you have to adopt the following steps, depending on which platform the gateway computer is. a.lf the gateway computer is a NT/UNIX server: You have to do the same "arp" command to specify an entry on the NT/UNIX computer as a gateway in order for it to forward your subsequent "ping" or/and "tftp" commandés to the print server. b.Ifthe gateway computer is a Novell NetWare file server:

1. Due to the presence of this NetWare file server, the IP X/SP X protocol might be used on

your network. Therefore, we strongly suggest you run the PSAdmin from any client computer and select "Manual Setup" to specify the print server's IP address (For more detailed information about Manual Setup, please refer to Chapter 3). 2.If the solution described above is not applicable, you have to follow the instructions below to set up the print server's IP address. Forthe purpose ofexplanation, we assume the NT server is on Segment A andits IP address is 192.72.214.66 (subnet mask: 255.255.255.224), the print server is going to be installed on SegmentB, with IP address, for example, 192.72.214.100.

1. Find an unused IP address on Segment A for temporary use in the following steps, for

example, 192.72.214.68.

2. Connect your print server to Segment À as a networked node.

3.On your NT server, type, for example, "arp -s 192.72.214.68 00-40-01-3F-02-AB". Please note, in this arp command you have to type 192.72.214.68 on purpose. Do nottype this IP address as 192.72.214.100. 4.Type "tftp 192.722.214.68 get config.txt". The configuration file will then be retrieved and transferred to your NT server.

6.In your editor, modify "BoxIPAddress" field from "O.0.0.0" to "192.72.214.100". Leave other options as default and do not change their values. When done, save this new file and quit from your editor. Please note, in this step you must specify an IP address which is valid on Segment B, such as 192.72.214.100 in this example, rather than

7.Type, for example, "tftp 192.72.214.68 put config.txt" to save this new configuration back to print server.

8. Move the print server back to the Segment B.

Appendix: Diagnostic Mode (Wireless) If you have no the twisted-pair cable to configure print server and have problems to configure it on wireless network. Please refer to the following steps:

1. Change the print server to diagnostic mode by switching the DIP switch to DIAG mode.

Change your wireless adapter to Ad-hoc mode, and the ESSID: WLAN-PS; Channel: 6

3. Run PSAdmin to discover the print server.

5. Select wireless and inputthe ESSID, Channel, Rates that meet your network

6. Done. The print server will restart.

7. Switch the DIP back to normal mode and change your wireless adapter setting.
