Hardware Troubleshooting

Status Indicator

The LED status indicator displays the general operating state of the OkiLAN 6010e. During normal operation, the LED is solid green indicating that the OkiLAN 6010e is functioning properly and the presence of the network is detected.

The following list describes LED displays that indicate problems, as well as possible solutions:

LED Display

Flashing green very rapidly

Problem

The OkiLAN 6010e has not detected the presence of a network cable.

Solution

a) Unplug the OkiLAN 6010e power adapter from the wall outlet. Remove the network cable. Plug the network cable back in until you hear a positive click. Check the other end of the cable in the same manner. Plug the OkiLAN 6010e back in. If it does not detect a cable, continue below.
b) Verify the cable is a 10Base-T cable and it has an RJ-45 end. The network cable must have a cat-3 or higher rating. Silver Satin or flat ribbon cable is not adequate.
c) Connect to a network that a currently working PC or print server is using. If the OkiLAN 6010e is still unable to detect the network cable, contact Technical Support for assistance.

LED Display

LED is flashing green slowly (1 timer/sec); the OkiLAN 6010e is trying to print a job.

Problem

The printer is malfunctioning or does not have sufficient paper or toner.

Solution

Verify that the printer is not showing any errors and has sufficient paper and toner.

LED Display

LED is solid orange for more than 30 seconds

Problem

The printer server has failed the Power On Self Test.

Solution

The OkiLAN 6010e will try to print a configuration sheet on the printer with more information.

Failing the self test can be caused by any of the following:

a) The printer is malfunctioning. Unplug the OkiLAN 6010e from the printer and unplug the power adapter. Reconnect the OkiLAN 6010e and the power adapter. If the OkiLAN 6010e still fails the self test, continue below.
b) The OkiLAN 6010e power supply has failed or there is a hardware problem. Contact Okidata Customer Support for replacement information.

LED Display

The LED is alternately flashing orange and green for longer than two minutes.

Problem

The OkiLAN 6010e is in firmware download mode. This means it is waiting for new firmware to be sent before it will continue functioning normally.

Solution

If the OkiLAN 6010e was purposely put into firmware download mode, finish the download with the proper update utility. Contact our web site at http:// www.okidata.com to download the utility.

Chapter 1: SNMP

Overview

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) provides network administrators with the ability to communicate management functions between an SNMP manager and an SNMP agent. An SNMP manager is a user program the network administrator can use to manage SNMP agents. The manager can retrieve Get information from the agent or alter Set information on the agent. An agent can also send an unsolicited message Trap to a manager when it encounters an unusual condition.

The OkiLAN 6010e is a fully functional SNMP agent and supports any standard SNMP management platform, including:

HP OpenView
Novell NMS
Sun SunNet Manager
- IBM Viewing

Private MIB

OkiLAN 6010e SNMP support has been enhanced with a private MIB. It is accessible via SNMP over TCP/IP and IPX. This private MIB contains over 150 configuration and status variables for the network protocols, printer ports, network interface printer settings, and the overall OkiLAN 6010e status. Printer status traps such as on-line, off-line, detached printer and printer error are also provided.

The setting of certain variables causes an immediate firmware reset. These variables are listed in the private MIB under cmdReset.

Note: If you attempt a reset while a job is printing, the job may not print successfully.

Certain variables are critical, that is, they change a fundamental operating parameter of the OkiLAN 6010e. These variables are saved by the OkiLAN 6010e but are not actually used until it is power cycled or is reset. When any one of these variables is changed the variable genConfigDirty is automatically set to yes by the print server. This signifies a reset is required for all configuration changes to be made active. We recommend checking the genConfigDirty variable after using a MIB browser to make any configuration changes to the OkiLAN 6010e. If genConfigDirty is set to yes, then the cmdReset variable should also be set to yes. This will cause the OkiLAN 6010e to reset, make all configuration changes active on the OkiLAN 6010e and set both the cmdReset and genConfigDirty variables to no. These critical variables are listed in the private MIB under genConfigDirty.

Traps

Traps are unsolicited information from the SNMP agent. The OkiLAN 6010e uses a ColdStart trap to inform the manager it has been powered on or reset. An authentication failure trap is sent when the OkiLAN 6010e receives an SNMP trap GET or SET request with an incorrect community name.

The OkiLAN 6010e sends printer traps when there is a change in the status of the printer. If the printer goes off-line, runs out of paper or is detached, the administrator will be notified via the OkiLAN 6010e traps over both UDP and IPX. Additionally, the OkiLAN 6010e can send traps on toner low, paper jam, and printer cover open. The traps may be configured for specific destination addresses and can be configured for a particular printer port and/or printer trap.

In order to receive OkiNet Alert traps, the OkiLAN 6010e must have bidirectional status enabled (it is disabled by default). Extended Status can be enabled through the OkiLAN 6010e Configuration utility (telnet) from the Configure Port option. You can also enable OkiNet Alert through OkiNet for TCP/IP or IPX from the Output Port file tab.

Security

SNMP implements a simple security system known as community names. Each SNMP message has a community name associated with the command in the message. SNMP allows for a Set community name, Get community name and a Trap community name. When the SNMP Agent receives a command, it checks the community name of the message with the community name of the device. If the community names do not match, the Agent discards the message and sends an authentication failure trap.

Both the OkiNet for TCP/IP and the IPX, and the OkiLAN 6010e Configuration utility (telnet) allow you to specify the community names and a trap destination IP address.

OkiLAN 6010e Server Discovery

An HTML file containing links to all OkiLAN 6010e print servers on the network can be created using the OkiNet utility for TCP/IP. Complete the following steps to create the HTML file:

1. Install and run the OkiNet for TCP/IP utility. The utility will discover and display all OkiLAN 6010e print servers on the local network.
2. Create a custom view, if desired, to control which devices are displayed. See Creating Customized Views in the OkiLAN 6010e Users Guide, Section IV.
3. Select Save View to HTML under the File menu.
4. Enter a name and save the file.
5. From the Web browser, select Open under the File menu and enter the path and name of the file saved in step 4.
6. You can now create a bookmark or add the file to your list of favorites.

Note: This file does not update automatically. The OkiNet utility must be run again to obtain current information.

Troubleshooting

Server Connection

• The print server only supports two simultaneous HTTP connections. If your browser fails to connect to the print server, the browser may be trying to open more than two connections. Please refer to your browser's Help files for information on changing the connection settings. Both Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Explorer for the Macintosh and Power PC will sometimes display a failure to connect message after being configured for only two connections. Should this occur, select OK to bypass the error message. The menu page will still be displayed and configuration can be completed.

• Quickly refreshing a page within some browsers can cause the browser to leave active connections open with the server called a hung connection. This will use up one of the HTTP connections, can cause problems connecting to the server and will slow down Web response time. If TCP timeout checking is enabled under TCP/IP configuration, the hung connection will timeout after the timeout period has expired.

Login

• If you forget the administrator password, restoring the TCP/IP protocol to factory defaults from any other configuration utility restores the Web admin name and password to default values.

Configuration

• Web browsers will generally cache previously viewed Web pages on the local machine. To view the most current print server information, it is a good idea to select the Reload or Refresh buttons on your browser instead of using the Back button.

Chapter 5: Additional Management Features

OkiNet Alert

OKI OkiNet Alert enterprise management utility allows administrators to proactively manage printers by being immediately alerted to printing problems before they are encountered by users. This remote management utility can be configured to monitor all SNMP traps from a list of printers chosen by the administrator, without requiring HP OpenView. It runs in the background on any Windows-based PC and alerts the user with a sound or a screen flash when an error has occurred, and OkiNet Alert can be configured to respond only to the specific error conditions that are of concern to you. You can also launch batch files on given error conditions. OKI OkiNet Alert can be used in IPX and IP environments.

Enhanced Printer Status

The OkiLAN 6010e communicates with the printer to monitor the current condition of the printer. This information can be observed in real time via the utilities or can be interpreted by the OkiLAN 6010e to generate traps to your SNMP management utility of choice: HP OpenView or the OKI OkiNet Alert utility.

For bidirectional capable printers the OkiLAN 6010e can retrieve the printer information, such as front panel message, and display it through the OkiNet utilities.

OkiNet for NDS

OkiNet for NDS allows administrators to create and manage OKI print server objects in the NDS tree. OkiNet for NDS integrates into Novell's NetWare Administrator, NetWareAdmin. For more information, see OkiNet for NDS under NetWare in this manual.

OkiNet for TCP/IP (Creating Custom Views)

OkiNet for TCP/IP allows discovery on a pure TCP/IP Windows environment. To assign a TCP/IP address assignment, simply select Discover Unconfigured Device and double-click. To create multiple views and customize the viewing environment, specify devices and define Filters, Sorts, Columns, Search Information and Refresh rates. For more information about OkiNet for TCP/IP, see Creating Custom Views under the TCP/IP section of this manual.

NetWare Load Balancing

Using this feature, administrators can distribute the print load among several print servers. Simply assign the queue to the desired print ports on the selected print servers.

Windows Printing

From a Windows operating system, using TCP/IP or DLC protocols, the OkiNet Connect utility routes the print job to the appropriate printer without passing through a file server or print queue. This cuts down on network printing traffic. For more information, see the Windows Printing section of this manual.

Printer Security for TCP/IP Printing

The OkiLAN 6010e print server has a Printer Security for TCP/IP Printing feature which allows the printers to only be accessed from a specified list of IP addresses. This feature is accessed via TELNET option #9, TCP Connection Configuration.

Delete

The Delete button deletes an OkiLAN 6010e access entry in the Serial/Network Number list.

Chapter 3: OkiNet for NDS

Overview

OkiNet for NDS is a Dynamic Link Library (DLL) which allows users to create and manage OKI print server objects in the NDS tree. OkiNet for NDS integrates into Novell's NetWare Administrator, a Windows-based utility that allows users to view and manage their NetWare 4.x NDS tree. Once OkiNet for NDS is integrated into NetWare Administrator, users can manage OKI devices with the same utility used to manage other network objects such as printers and queues.

The OkiLAN 6010e supports NetWare NDS using Novell Embedded Systems Technology, also known as NEST. OkiNet for NDS can be installed to support Novell NetWare version 4.1 or 4.11 and for operating systems running Windows 3.x, Windows 95 and/or Windows NT. If you have multiple versions of Windows operating systems to service, you can install OkiNet for NDS for each.

OkiNet for NDS supports four different versions of NWAdmin.

• OkiNet for NDS installation for NetWare version 4.1 (one version of NWAdmin) requires a single installation which will work for all platforms including Windows 3.x. Windows 95 and/or Windows NT.

• The OkiNet for NDS installation for NetWare version 4.11 requires a separate installation for each of the three platforms: Windows 3.x, Windows 95 and/or Windows NT (three separate versions of NWAdmin).

Creating a New OkiLAN 6010e Object

To create a new OkiLAN 6010e object from Novell's NetWare Administrator, perform the following steps:

1. Select the container (also known as organizational unit) in which you want the object created. For example, to create an object that is within the sales organizational unit, select SALES.
2. From the Object menu, select Create. If the Create option is grayed, you do not have sufficient rights or you have selected a leaf object.

3. From the Class of New Object list box, select OKI Print Server. If the OKI Print Server is not listed, check the following:

4. The OkiNet for NDS utility has been installed.

5. The OKI Printing Device has not been removed from the schema. See Adding or Removing the OKI Print Server section for more information.

6. Click OK.

7. Define filter and sort criteria for displaying a list of Extended Systems devices from which to choose.

8. Click OK.

Note: If the Device list box is still empty, select Find Device. This will allow you to locate the specific device you are trying to define. You will be prompted for the Ethernet address and network number of the device. A mismatch in the OKI device frame format may cause the device not to show up in the Device list box.

1. From the list of OKI devices, select a device to assign to the object.
2. Enter a name for the new OKI Print Server object.
3. Select Create.

The new OKI Print Server object should now appear in the directory tree.

Printing with an OkiLAN 6010e Print Server

To configure the NetWare environment for printing to an OkiLAN 6010e print server, follow these steps:

1. Install the OkiLAN 6010e hardware and connect the cabling. Instructions for hardware installation are found in Section I of this manual.

2. Create an OKI Print Server object. If you are unfamiliar with how to do this, see the previous section.

3. Open the OKI Print Server object's Details dialog. This may be done by double-clicking on the OKI print server icon in the NDS tree or by selecting Details from the File menu.

4. If your OkiLAN 6010e supports both PServer and NPrinter mode, there are several factors to consider when choosing which mode to use. See page III-6 for more information. From the Identification page, select either PServer or NPrinter mode. If you select NPrinter mode, skip to Step 11.
5. From the Assignments page, choose the Port # associated with the printer to which the queue will print.
6. Select Assign

Adding or Removing the OKI Print Server Class

The OKI print server class is added to Novell's NetWare Administrator by the installation utility. This class must exist in order to create an OKI Print Server object for use in printing to the device.

Removing the OKI Print Server Class

1. Run Novell's NetWare Administrator.
2. Verify all OKI print server objects have been removed from the directory tree.
3. From the Tools menu, choose Remove OKI Printing Device Class. The OKI print server class will no longer show up in the Create New Object dialog. If the Remove OKI Printing Device Class option is grayed, the class has already been removed. If the option does not exist, OkiNet for NDS is not installed.

The install utility on the installation diskette can also be used to remove the OKI print server class. This utility removes the class from Novell's NetWare Administrator and removes all the associated files that were copied during the installation process.

Note: Be sure to remove all OKI Print Server objects from the directory tree before uninstalling OkiNet for NDS.

Adding the OKI Print Server Class

The OKI print server class is initially added to Novell's NetWare Administrator when the Install utility is run from the diskette. If the OKI print server class has been removed through Novell's NetWare Administrator's Tools menu, you will need to add the class again.

From the Tools menu in Novell's NetWare Administrator, choose Define OKI Printing Device Class. If this option is grayed, the class has already been added. If the option does not exist, you will need to run the install utility from the diskette to install OkiNet for NDS.

The OKI print server class will now appear in the Create New Object dialog.

Chapter 1: Introduction

Overview

This section contains instructions and information on how to configure your OkiLAN 6010e. You will also be instructed on how to set up your host computers to print to the OkiLAN 6010e using the TCP/IP protocol.

OkiLAN 6010e supports three TCP/IP methods for printing:

Remote Line Printer Daemon (LPD)
- File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
- Printing directly through a TCP port (Raw Port Printing)

Software Requirements

The OkiLAN 6010e may be configured for TCP/IP using the OkiNet for TCP/IP utility, or from a computer supporting the OkiNet for NetWare utility, OR telnet and one of the following:

• Manual arp table entry and ping
  Static route entry using route add command
• DHCP
  RARP
• BOOTP

Network Preparation

• You should be familiar with network administration as well as the physical setup and operation of your network.
• Advise users of possible disruption during installation.
• Make sure the serial number and Ethernet address of your OkiLAN 6010e are available.
• Assign an IP address and a hostname (alias) to the OkiLAN 6010e.
• Use the network name service or the "/etc/hosts" file to add the OkiLAN 6010e to the network.

Before You Start

Before running OkiNet for TCP/IP, you must do the following:

• Install the OkiLAN 6010e hardware and connect the cabling. Instructions for hardware installation are found in Section I of this manual.
  Write down the serial number and Ethernet address of your OkiLAN 6010e. (These numbers are located on the OkiLAN 6010e board.)
• Install OkiNet for TCP/IP—see Section I.

Overview of TCP/IP Configuration

• Assign an IP address for the OkiLAN 6010e
• Configure the OkiLAN 6010e network information
• Configure hosts for printing to the OkiLAN 6010e
• Test print (optional)

Chapter 2: Configuring the OkiLAN 6010e

Choosing an IP Address

Every TCP/IP network device is required to have a unique IP address. The IP address can be permanently stored using one of the following:

• OKI OkiNet management utilities for TCP/IP or Novell NetWare
• OkiLAN 6010e Configuration utility via telnet.

Note: The OkiNet utilities are the easiest way to assign an IP address.

Using factory default settings, the OkiLAN 6010e first attempts to determine its IP address (flashing rapid green) using DHCP, RARP, BOOTP or Gleaning. If the OkiLAN 6010e has not resolved its IP address after 2 minutes, it defaults to 198.102.102.254. (This IP address should be used only temporarily for configuration purposes.)

To choose an IP address:

1. Select an IP address and hostname for the OkiLAN 6010e.

Example: 192.168.42.50 OkiLAN 6010e_name

1. Add the name and IP address to the "/etc/ hosts" file of each host that will access the OkiLAN 6010e. Or, if your network uses a name service, add the host name and IP address to the name server.

Most TCP/IP networks use the Network Information Service (NIS), Domain Name Service (DNS) or the “/etc/hosts” database. See your network documentation for instructions.

Configuring the OkiLAN 6010e

There are four utilities available to configure the OkiLAN 6010e for TCP/IP printing. You may use whichever utility is best suited for your needs.

• OkiNet for TCP/IP - Windows TCP/IP print manager utility. See Chapter 3 of this section for more information.

• OkiLAN 6010e Configuration Utility – This utility is accessed via telnet. See Chapter 5 of this section for more information.

In order to configure the OkiLAN 6010e via telnet, you must first assign an IP address to the OkiLAN 6010e and verify communication by pinging the device.

• OkiNet for NetWare – This windows utility must be run from a Novell NetWare client. See Section III of this manual for specific information.

Assigning the IP Address

There are eight different methods for assigning an IP address to the OkiLAN 6010e: Gleaning, Static Route Entry, DHCP, RARP, BOOTP and using the OkiNet utilities. Gleaning, Static Route Entry and RARP require the OkiLAN 6010e and the host to be on the same subnet. DHCP and BOOTP also have this restriction unless the network routers are configured to pass these requests. The OkiNet utilities do not have this restriction.

Gleaning

If an IP address has not been permanently assigned when the OkiLAN 6010e is powered on or reset, it will look for a ping packet on the network. If the OkiLAN6010e receives a ping packet within two minutes, it will accept the IP address in the ping packet as its own address.

To use Gleaning, you must have Windows 95, Windows NT, or super-user privileges on a UNIX system.

1. Add an entry in the ARP table that assigns an IP address to the hardware address of the OkiLAN 6010e. To do this, use the arp command.

arp -s temp

UNIX Example:
arp -s 192.168.42.24 00:02:16:00:00:01 temp

Windows 95, Windows NT Example: arp -s 192.168.42.24 00-02-16-00-00-01

1. Start a continuous ping to the OkiLAN 6010e.

$$ \text {p i n g} < i p _ a d d r e s s > $$

Example: ping 192.168.42.24

On some systems, this may require an additional parameter. Some implementations of ping only send out one ping packet which could get lost in transit. Check your system documentation for more information.

1. Connect power to the OkiLAN 6010e.

The OkiLAN 6010e will glean its IP address from the ping packet. This IP address will remain in effect until the OkiLAN 6010e is powered off or reset. Therefore, a permanent IP address should be assigned by running the OkiNet for TCP/IP utility or via telnet.

Note: Gleaning does not work with Windows NT Workstation 3.5.

DHCP

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provides a framework for passing configuration information to hosts on a TCP/IP network in a client/server fashion. DHCP is based on the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP), adding the capability of automatic allocation of reusable network addresses and additional configuration options. DHCP uses the same packet structure as BOOTP so current BOOTP relay agents will also interact with DHCP messages.

DHCP offers dynamic IP address allocation. When a client receives an IP address, it also receives a lease (an amount of time the host may use the address). The lease times vary from 1 hour to 100 years, or may be infinite. When the lease expires, the host must stop using the address. DHCP may also be used like BOOTP, with a certain IP address always assigned to a certain device. Depending on the server, both methods may be used at the same time.

If the OkiLAN 6010e does not find a DHCP server after two minutes, it will timeout and assume a default address of 198.102.102.254. This follows current BOOTP and RARP behavior.

If the OkiLAN 6010e receives multiple responses, it will choose the first one.

When the OkiLAN 6010e receives an address, it sends an ARP message once every second for five seconds on the offered address to determine if another device is using it. If the OkiLAN 6010e finds another device is using the address, it will refuse the address and start looking for a new address.

Static Route Entry

When the OkiLAN 6010e is powered on or reset and no permanent IP address has been assigned, it will attempt to obtain an IP address through Gleaning, RARP, BOOTP or DHCP. If the OkiLAN 6010e has not determined its IP address after two minutes, the IP address will default to 198.102.102.254. This IP address should only be used temporarily to configure a new, permanent IP address. To change to a permanent IP address, the route add command is used to place the OkiLAN 6010e product's default IP address into the workstation's network routing table. To use the route command, you must have Windows 95, Windows NT or super-user privileges under UNIX. The syntax for this command is

route add 198.102.102.254 “IP address of the workstation” 0

Note: The zero (0) placed at the end of the route add command shown above is optional.

The Static Route method only works if the host from which you are telneting is on the same subnet as the OkiLAN 6010e. Once the route add command has been issued, telnet will allow you to change and/or make the IP address permanent. After changing the IP address to its permanent address, the routing table entry should be deleted using route delete.

For more information, consult your system documentation for the route command.

RARP or BOOTP

If an IP address has not been permanently assigned, the OkiLAN 6010e will use Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) or Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP). The OkiLAN 6010e will broadcast requests for its IP address to both RARP and BOOTP servers. A RARP or BOOTP server will respond by searching a configuration file that maps the Ethernet hardware addresses of devices on the network to their respective IP addresses. If a match is found, the server's response will include the IP address of the device.

Most UNIX operating systems support either the RARP or BOOTP protocol. To find out which protocol your operating system supports, request the manual page for the protocol's daemon (e.g. man bootpd or man rarpd), or see your network manuals. Both protocols require that you add the product's network hardware address and IP address to a configuration file. See your network documentation for instructions or refer to Appendix B, Application Considerations.

Note: An IP address received from a RARP or BOOTP server is not permanently programmed into the OkiLAN 6010e. Therefore, if you choose this method of assigning the IP address, the RARP or BOOTP server must be available every time the OkiLAN 6010e is powered on or reset. The IP address can be stored permanently using telnet, OkiNet for TCP/IP or OkiNet for NetWare.

A Winsock compliant BOOTP server is located on the OkiNet disk. This has been provided for users who do not have UNIX machines.

Other Utilities

The IP address can also be set from Novell NetWare using the OkiNet for NetWare utility.

Note: The OkiNet for NetWare utilities can only be used if Novell NetWare is installed on your network.

Verifying Access to the OkiLAN 6010e

Use the ping utility to verify access to the OkiLAN 6010e.

$$ \text {p i n g} < I P \quad a d d r e s s o f O k i L A N 6 0 1 0 e > $$

If the OkiLAN 6010e does not respond, your network or the device is not configured correctly.

• Verify the IP address, default gateway and subnet mask are set to the proper values on the OkiLAN 6010e by printing a configuration sheet. This can be done using either the print configuration sheet button, through the OkiNet or OkiNet for VINES utilities or via telnet.
• If the settings appear to be correct, try repeating the installation steps. If problems persist, call Okidata Customer Support at 1-800-OKIDATA (1-800-654-3282).

Chapter 3: TCP/IP Configuration and Printing

Overview

The OkiLAN 6010e supports printing from computers using TCP/IP and any of the following printing protocols:

• Line Printer Redirect/Line Printer Daemon (lpr/lpd)
• File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
• Printing directly through a TCP port (Raw Port Printing)

This chapter presents basic instructions on how to configure your computer to print using Remote LPD and FTP. Specific instructions for several popular computer systems have been documented in Appendix B, Application Considerations. If your specific system is not addressed in this appendix, follow the instructions outlined below. You should also refer to your operating system or computer manual for information about configuring remote network printing. If you are still unable to configure your computer system to print to the OkiLAN 6010e, contact Okidata Customer Support at 1-800-OKIDATA (1-800-654-3282).

Configuring for TCP/IP Network Printing

Most computers that support TCP/IP network printing use the Remote Line Printer Daemon (LPD) protocol. This protocol was originally part of the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) version of the UNIX operating system. Remote LPD was quickly adopted as a de facto standard. As a result, Remote LPD is now supported by most versions of the UNIX operating system and by many TCP/IP packages available for other operating systems. Configuration of Remote LPD printing varies among vendors who supply TCP/IP.

You may also use the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) for printing. Typically FTP is used to transfer files between computers on a TCP/IP network. The OkiLAN 6010e simply prints the files it receives from FTP.

Remote Print Queue Name

The Remote Print Queue Name determines which printer port will service the print job. The Remote Print Queue Name may also be used to specify ASCII print jobs. Both Remote LPD and FTP have provisions for specifying a Remote Print Queue Name.

The OkiLAN 6010e looks at the last character of the Remote Print Queue Name to determine which printer port will service the print job. All Remote Print Queue Names should end with the number 1, 2, 3 or 4. If a number is not specified, the OkiLAN 6010e will use printer port 1.

The OkiLAN 6010e is designed to handle many different types of printers and print data. Typically you will select the printer type for your printer in telnet under the Configure Port option. However, if you are connecting to an ASCII printer, you may wish to use the OkiLAN 6010e to format the print data for your printer.

The OkiLAN 6010e will parse the remote queue name and search for certain characters at the end which tell how to convert an ASCII print job. The print server uses FF, LF and NF as ASCII conversion specifiers and uses the last number as an output port. The FF, LF and NF specifiers must be the last letters in the queue name.

Example: LaserWriterFF, SalesColorLaserNF, ChemDeptLF2

FF Use the FF suffix at the end of the Remote Print Queue Name, before the port number.

Example: queueFF2

If the last character in the print job is not a form feed, the OkiLAN 6010e appends a form feed. This form feed prompts the printer to print any partial page at the end of the job.

LF Use the LF suffix at the end of the Remote Print Queue Name, before the port number.

Example: queueLF2

In addition to the form feed described above, the OkiLAN 6010e inserts a carriage-return character into the print job immediately before each line-feed character. This feature is useful for printing UNIX text files.

NF Use the NF suffix at the end of the Remote Print Queue Name, before the port number.

Example: queueNF2

The OkiLAN 6010e inserts a carriage-return character into the print job immediately before each line-feed character. This feature is useful for printing UNIX text files.

This option differs from LF in that form feed is not added to the end of jobs.

Configuring a BSD-Style Print Queue

For remote BSD-Style LPD printing, add the OkiLAN 6010e as a remote printer in the "/etc/printcap" database to each host printing to the OkiLAN 6010e.

You can add PRINTCAP options as needed. If you are unfamiliar with PRINTCAP, consult your local documentation.

The entry should be similar to the following:

local_print_queue_name[printer_model_and_manufacturer]:\

:lp=:mx#0:rm=OkiLAN 6010e_name:\

:rp=remote_print_queue_name:\

:sd=path_to_spool_directory:lf=just

log_file_name

local_print_queue_name

The local_print_queue_name defines the name of the printcap entry. It is used by the lpr/lpd utilities to specify which printcap entry is being referenced. Additional printcap entries can be added as needed for different queue types. Each entry must have a unique local_print_queue_name and a different spool directory to work properly. When you are ready to print, use the local_print_queue_name that matches the data type of the file to be printed.

OkiLAN 6010e_name

This is the name (alias) of the OkiLAN 6010e. This must be the same name as entered in the /etc/hosts file or your NIS or DNS system. An IP address may also be used here.

remote_print_queue_name

The remote_print_queue_name entry determines the OkiLAN 6010e port where the print job will be printed and optionally specifies ASCII printing.

path_to_spool_directory

This is the path to a directory where the print jobs will be spooled for this queue. You must create a unique spool directory for each printcap entry.

log_file_name

This is the path to a file where error information from the lpd will be logged.

Example: If you are printing to an ASCII printer that requires a carriage return/line feed, you may need two separate printcap entries: one entry for print jobs which terminate lines with a carriage return/line feed, and another entry for print jobs which terminate lines with a line feed only. Your printcap entries might look like the following:

ascii_files|form/feedQueue_on_Port_2:\

:lp=:mx#0:rm=pserver1:rp=MYQUEUEEFF2:\sd=/usr/spool/myqueueff2:\lf=/usr/spool/myqueueff2/queue.log

ascilf_files|line/feed.Quee_on_Port_2:\

:lp=:mx#0:rm=pserver1:rp=MYQUEUEELF2:\sd=/usr/spool/myqueueelf2:\lf=/usr/spool/myqueueelf2/queue.log

Note: Each printcap entry must have a different spool directory to work properly.

Remote LPD Printing

The way print jobs are queued to a Remote LPD system varies among the vendors that support TCP/IP. UNIX systems that are BSD-based typically use the lpr program to submit print jobs. Other UNIX systems may use the lp program to submit print jobs. PC-based TCP/IP packages often provide a command line lpr program and a utility to redirect the output of an LPT port to a Remote LPD system.

Consult your system administrator or software vendor for assistance troubleshooting LPD.

Note: The Remote LPD implementation of the OkiLAN 6010e does not support any UNIX LPD input or output filters or the direct printing of banner pages. It is possible to configure some UNIX systems so that banner pages and input and output filters will be generated at the UNIX host and then sent to the OkiLAN 6010e. (Refer to Appendix B, Application Considerations.)

FTP Printing

FTP is a command line program used to transfer files between computers. FTP provides commands for opening a connection to another computer, specifying the data type of any transfers, and sending and receiving files. The OkiLAN 6010e supports a subset of the FTP command set. This subset allows the FTP user to open a connection to the OkiLAN 6010e, specify a file transfer data type and send print files to a Remote Print Queue Name on the OkiLAN 6010e.

The OkiLAN 6010e recognizes the following FTP commands:

PUT Print a single file

The PUT command sends the file to the OkiLAN 6010e. The first parameter of the PUT command is the name of the local file to PUT. The second parameter of the PUT command is the name of the file for the remote PC. In order to print the file, this second parameter must be a Remote Print Queue Name. If you do not specify the second parameter, FTP sets the remote file name to the local file name. This may produce undesirable printing results.

SEND Treated the same as PUT.

MPUT Print multiple files.

TYPE Changes the representation type used for data transfer. Image (or binary) and ASCII are the only types supported.

ASCII Equivalent to "TYPE ASCII".

BINARY Equivalent to "TYPE BINARY".

IMAGE Equivalent to "TYPE IMAGE".

STRU Specifies file structure. File is the only structure supported.

MODE Specifies transfer mode. Stream is the only transfer mode supported.

OPEN Opens connection to remote host.

CLOSE Terminates FTP session.

QUIT Terminates FTP session and exits FTP.

BYE Equivalent to QUIT.

OkiLAN 6010e print servers will allow one FTP connection. If more FTP connections are attempted, the OkiLAN 6010e will reject the connection until one of the other FTP connections is closed. When an FTP connection is rejected, the FTP program will typically display a message like the following:

$ ftp ftp> open OkiLAN 6010e_name connection refused ftp>

Note: Specifying binary mode is important for all jobs. Most FTP implementations default to ASCII mode. This may cause unexpected or undesired printing results.

Example: The following example prints a PostScript file called chart.ps to the OkiLAN 6010e printer Port 1 using FTP.

$ ftp OkiLAN 6010e_name

Connected to OkiLAN 6010e_name.

220 ESI-2810 Version 3.0 ready.

230 User logged in.

ftp> binary

200 Type set to I.

ftp> put chart.ps MPX1

local: chart.ps remote: MPX1

200 PORT command successful.

150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for MPX1.

226 Transfer complete.

4549 bytes sent in 0 seconds (4.4 Kbytes/s)

ftp> bye

221 Goodbye.

\$

Timeout Checking

If timeout checking is enabled on the OkiLAN 6010e, the OkiLAN 6010e will close any connection that stays idle for more than five minutes. For example, if you open an FTP connection to the OkiLAN 6010e and walk away from your computer for more than five minutes, the FTP connection will be closed. You can reestablish a connection to the OkiLAN 6010e with the OPEN command.

Raw Port Printing

Host computer software can use a raw TCP/IP port connection to send data to the OkiLAN 6010e. A TCP/IP port has been assigned to the output port of the OkiLAN 6010e as follows:

TCP/IP Port	Output Port
9100	1

Consult your system documentation for information on how to submit print jobs to a raw port.

Configuring TCP/IP Options

To configure options specific to the TCP/IP protocol, select the TCP/IP tab. The following screen will display:

Fill in the following information:

IP Address Resolution

• Set Permanent - Select this option to make the IP address permanent. If the OkiLAN 6010e has been configured to remember its IP address, it does not need to determine its address each time it is powered on.

Enter the IP address for the OkiLAN 6010e. The IP address must follow the format XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, where each XXX is a number from 0 to 255.

CAUTION: If you select an invalid IP address, you may not be able to access the OkiLAN 6010e.

• Use Network Protocol – Select this option to use RARP, BOOTP or DHCP to determine the IP address at power up. Specify which protocol(s) to use.

Subnet Mask

If your network environment includes subnets, you will want to set the subnet mask. The subnet mask must follow the format XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, where each XXX is a number from 0 to 255.

The default subnet mask is 0.0.0.0. The OkiLAN 6010e interprets a subnet mask of 0.0.0.0 or 255.255.255.255 as no subnet mask specified.

CAUTION: If you select an invalid subnet mask, you may not be able to access the OkiLAN 6010e.

Default Gateway

If your local network is attached to other networks, you can specify the address of your default gateway. This gateway will be selected whenever messages need to be sent to another network.

The gateway address must follow the format XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, where each XXX is a number from 0 to 255.

CAUTION: If you select an invalid default gateway or the default gateway becomes unavailable, the OkiLAN 6010e may not be able to communicate with non-local networks.

WINS Server

If you are using WINS name resolution, set the address of the WINS Server where the System Name of the OkiLAN 6010e will be registered.

Use DHCP to Locate WINS Server

If you are using DHCP for IP address resolution, select this option to obtain the address of the WINS Server from the DHCP Server.

Telnet/Http Password:

IP Address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX; use“*”for groups/subnets

Name SNMP System Name (sys name) for the print server

Product # Select from the list of product number(s)

Product Type Select from the list of product types

Status Select from the list of status conditions

Subnet Mask XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX; use“*”for groups/subnets

Search Filter

The Search option defines the criteria for identifying OkiLAN 6010e products on the network.

• Search Local Network - This method broadcasts a discovery request to locate all OkiLAN 6010e print servers on the local network. All OkiLAN 6010e print servers that respond are placed in the list. If you have a large number of OkiLAN 6010e print servers on your local network and wish to minimize network traffic, do not select this option.

• Specify Devices/Networks - This method adds specific print servers (or groups of print servers) to the list. If you have OkiLAN 6010e print servers that are not on the local network (i.e. across routers), the address of each OkiLAN 6010e must be entered in order to locate and insert it into the list.

Example: 192.168.42.24

When specifying a subnet, enter a * for the last (fourth) part of the IP address. OkiNet for TCP/IP will search every address on the subnet.

Example: 192.168.42.*

Select Add to enter these addresses.

Columns

Column information for each print server can be modified.

To define the location of a new column, select the location in the Columns Displayed field where you wish the new column to be inserted, then select Add. If no location is selected, the new column will be added to the end of the list and the column will be displayed to the right of the last column on the screen.

For example, if you currently have three columns displayed and you wish to add a fourth column to the far left of the screen, follow these steps:

1. Select the first column in the Columns Displayed field.
2. Select the column to be added from the Columns Available field.
3. Select Add.

Columns may also be removed by selecting Remove from the Columns Available field.

Refresh

The refresh rate defines how often the OkiNet for TCP/IP utility updates the main print server list. To define a refresh rate, select Automatic Refresh and enter the refresh rate in the field provided. Decide how frequently to refresh the screen based on factors such as network traffic and desire for most recent information.

For example, if traffic on your network is not an issue and the most current information is desired, set the refresh rate to 1 so that the screen is updated every minute.

If network traffic is an issue, you may wish to set the refresh rate to 10. This would update the screen every ten minutes and minimize network traffic.

Permanently Defining SNMP Access Information

Access to OkiLAN 6010e configuration and diagnostic information is determined by using community names. The Special Options window is used to permanently define access information so that it does not need to be entered each time the OkiLAN 6010e is accessed. To Get and/or Set information on the OkiLAN 6010e through OkiNet for TCP/IP, community names must match the community names assigned to the OkiLAN 6010e.

To configure OkiNet for TCP/IP to use the correct community names, select Special Options from the File menu.

IP Address

This field displays the address of each OkiLAN 6010e for which OkiNet for TCP/IP has defined access. To add a new IP address to this list, select the Add button.

Get Community Name

Enter the Get Community Name necessary to access the OkiLAN 6010e or group of OkiLAN 6010e products selected.

Set Community Name

Enter the Set Community Name necessary to access the OkiLAN 6010e or group of OkiLAN 6010e print servers selected.

Add

Select the Add button to define access to a new OkiLAN 6010e or a group of OkiLAN 6010e print servers. The IP address must follow the format XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, where each XXX is a number from 0 to 255. Use * to specify groups/subnets.

For example: To add a single OkiLAN 6010e, enter 198.168.42.24. To add a group of OkiLAN 6010e print servers, enter 198.168.42.*.

Delete

The Delete button deletes an OkiLAN 6010e access entry in the IP address.

Configuring the Discovery UDP Port Number

In order to discover OkiLAN 6010e print servers on the network, OkiNet for TCP/IP communicates with the OkiLAN 6010e print servers on a UDP port number. Normally, using this port number should not interfere with other devices on the network. If there are problems using the given port number, select a new number.

Note: Windows NT will not permit the use of Port 9 for discovery. Select one of the other available ports.

Starting a Telnet Session

A simple telnet interface has been provided to communicate with devices supporting telnet. A telnet session can be started by selecting the OkiLAN 6010e from the print server list and choosing the Telnet Session option from the Tools menu. For more information about how to configure an OkiLAN 6010e using telnet, see Chapter 6.

Starting the BOOTP Server

OKI has provided a stand-alone BOOTP server to help assign IP addresses to the OkiLAN 6010e.

To access the stand-alone BOOTP server, select BOOTP Server from the Tools menu or run the program bootpsrv.exe from Windows. The BOOTP server displays all BOOTP activity on the local network. It responds to BOOTP requests for which the hardware address has been entered into the BOOTP file. For more information, view the on-line help for the BOOTP server.

Chapter 5: Telnet Configuration

Overview

The OkiLAN 6010e Configuration utility (telnet) provides system, network and printer status information and allows you to change the configuration of your OkiLAN 6010e.

Note: The configuration of your OkiLAN 6010e is password protected. Any user who knows the Get and Set community names can change the Telnet password. During setup we suggest the system administrator change the Get and Set community names to ensure that only authorized users can alter the configuration. See pages IV-37 through IV-39 for instructions on setting community names.

Running a Telnet Session

1. To run the configuration utility, type the following:

telnet

1. Replace OkiLAN 6010e_name with the IP address or the host name assigned to the OkiLAN 6010e you want to configure.

A screen will appear displaying an introductory message. When prompted for a password, enter Okinet. The password will not be echoed.

1. When you are finished typing your password, press Enter. For password verification, you will then be asked to enter your password again.

Each time you use the utility, you will be asked to enter your password. If you fail to enter the password correctly in three attempts, your connection with the OkiLAN 6010e will be closed.

1. Once your password is entered and accepted, a list of options will display. An explanation of each option follows.

OkiLAN 6010e Configuration Utility

1. Show Network/Printer Information
2. Change Password
3. Specify Print Server IP Address
4. Specify Subnet Mask For Your Network
5. Identify Default Gateway IP Address
6. Configure Port
7. TCP Connection Configuration
8. Download New Firmware
9. Restore to Factory Defaults

To select an option above, type its number and press Enter.

To quit, press Enter.

Showing Network/Printer Information (Option 1)

This option displays current network and printer information.

Changing the Password (Option 2)

This option allows you to change the password required for access to this utility. We recommend that you change your password periodically, especially if security may have been compromised. Type a password (5-24 characters long). The characters you type will not appear on the screen. When you are done typing, press Enter. You will be asked to enter your password again. This allows you to verify your password was typed correctly.

You must save your changes when you exit the utility for the new password to take effect.

Specify Print Server IP Address (Option 3)

This option allows you to select the method the OkiLAN 6010e uses to obtain its IP address or to set a permanent IP address. If the OkiLAN 6010e has been configured to use a permanent IP address, a DHCP, RARP or BOOTP server does not need to be available when the OkiLAN 6010e is powered on.

If you change the IP address, the change will remain undetected until the OkiLAN 6010e is reset or is powered off and on.

Remember, when choosing a permanent IP address:

• The IP address must follow the format XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, where each XXX is a number between 0 and 255.
  If you select an invalid IP address you may not be able to access the OkiLAN 6010e.
• You can also use OkiNet for TCP/IP, OkiNet for NetWare or the Banyan VINES OkiNet for VINES utilities to set a permanent IP address.

Note: If you select an invalid IP address you may not be able to access the OkiLAN 6010e. Use this option with care!

Specify the Subnet Mask for Your Network (Option 4)

If your network environment includes subnets, you will want to set the subnet mask.

The subnet mask must follow the format XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, where each XXX is a number between 0 and 255.

The default subnet mask is 0.0.0.0. The OkiLAN 6010e interprets a subnet mask of 0.0.0.0 or 255.255.255.255 as no subnet mask specified.

If you change the subnet mask, the change will remain undetected until the OkiLAN 6010e is reset or is power cycled.

Note: If you select an invalid subnet mask you may not be able to access the OkiLAN 6010e. Use this option with care!

Identify Default Gateway IP Address (Option 5)

If your local network is attached to other networks, you must specify the address of your default gateway.

Whenever packets need to be sent to another network, the default gateway is used.

The gateway address must follow the format

XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, where each XXX is a number between 0 and 255.

When the default gateway is changed, it will remain undetected until the OkiLAN 6010e is reset or is power cycled.

Note: If you select an invalid default gateway or the default gateway goes down, the OkiLAN 6010e may not be able to communicate with non-local networks.

Configure Port (Option 6)

After the Configure menu appears, you can access the following configuration option screens.

Specify Configuration Page Language

This option enables you to select how the OkiLAN 6010e configuration pages should be printed: Text (default), PCL, PostScript, or OFF.

Configure Language Switching

This option asks you to select the language of your printer. For a description of language switching options, see pages 35-36.

Configure Printer Type

This option enables you to indicate the printer type to which the OkiLAN 6010e is connected. Printer choices are:

1. Okidata printer.
   2.Custom printer.

2. Language Switching Sequence – If you select Custom Printer from the Configure Printer Type screen, you must indicate the switching sequence to be used for both PCL and PostScript. This is only necessary if language switching is set to something other than OFF.

TCP Connection Configuration (Option 7)

TCP Connection Timeout

This is used to sever network TCP/IP Connections that are idle for more than a specified period of time (between 1 and 3600 seconds). You can also disable timeout checking. Under most conditions you will want to leave this function enabled.

Raw Port Number

Set the port number where the raw port connections will be accepted.

Download New Firmware (Option 8)

This option is provided for future product modifications and enhancements. It requires an update file from OKIDATA.

CAUTION: Do NOT use this option without having the upgrade files on hand. The OkiLAN 6010e will be locked in download mode. This is indicated by a flashing orange-green Status LED.

The latest firmware and utilities are available through:

World Wide Web: http://www.okidata.com

Firmware update instructions are available with the download file.

Restore to Factory Default Configuration (Option 9)

This option automatically restores the OkiLAN 6010e to its original factory defaults. Be aware that when you restore the OkiLAN 6010e to the original factory default settings, only the TCP/IP protocol and output port information is restored and your TCP/IP password and IP address are erased.

CAUTION: Make sure that no print jobs are active when you select Restore to Factory Defaults. Performing this operation will restore parameters for the TCP/IP protocol to factory defaults. If you reset the OkiLAN 6010e while a job is printing, the job may not print successfully.

Appendix A: Troubleshooting

Main Status Indicator

Upon power-up, the main status indicator flashes orange. It changes to green when the OkiLAN 6010e passes self-test. The indicator stays orange if the OkiLAN 6010e fails self-test. If the indicator turns solid orange due to an error, a configuration sheet will be printed automatically. Check the error message reported on the configuration sheet.

Restoring the OkiLAN 6010e to Factory Defaults

In most cases, the best way to restore the OkiLAN 6010e to factory defaults is via telnet. However, if you are unable to connect to the device because of a configuration error, use the following method which does not require a network connection.

To restore the OkiLAN 6010e to factory defaults, complete the following steps:

1. Power down the OkiLAN 6010e.
2. While holding in the Print Configuration Sheet Test button, power up the OkiLAN 6010e. Hold the button until the status indicator turns solid green.
3. Power cycle the OkiLAN 6010e. It will have restored itself to defaults.

Unable to Assign IP Address

Gleaning

If you ping the device and are not getting a response, the glean is not working. Check the following possible problems:

• Verify the ARP table contains the correct hardware and IP address by running the 'arp -a' command.
• If you are getting a response, but the OkiLAN 6010e LED is still blinking green, power down the print server and try the ping again. There might be a different device answering to the ping.
• Verify the OkiLAN 6010e is on the same subnet as the computer running the ping.
• The glean will not work if the OkiLAN 6010e has already defaulted to an IP address two minutes after power up. The LED will turn solid green and the device will print a configuration page. Power cycle the device and try the glean again.

RARP or BOOTP

If you are using a BOOTP or RARP server and the OkiLAN 6010e is not getting an IP address, check the following:

• Verify the BOOTP/RARP configuration files are correctly set up (“/etc/ethers” and “/etc/hosts” for RARP and “/etc/bootptab” for BOOTP). Verify the files have the correct hardware address of the OkiLAN 6010e. If using RARP, check that the hostnames are the same between the “/etc/ethers” and “/etc/hosts” files.

UNIX BOOTP

If you are running UNIX, try the following methods with the BOOTP server (check the documentation for your particular UNIX flavor).

• Verify the BOOTP server has reread the "/etc/bootptab" file when the new entry was added. If the BOOTP server was running when you added the new entries, the server might not have reread the new bootptab file. Try sending the SIGHUP signal to the running BOOTP server. For example, kill -HUP tells it to reread "/etc/bootptab". Most BOOTP servers support this option. Check your local BOOTP documentation. If this does not work, restart the BOOTP server (kill and restart the process).

• Some BOOTP servers will write their internal bootptab tables to a file when they receive a SIGUSR1 signal. You can check this file to verify the hardware and IP address are correct. You can use the kill command to send signals. For example, kill -USR1 . Check your documentation for more information.

• Check the system's syslog file. Some BOOTP servers will write error messages into the syslog file.

Example:

Sep 6 14:38:43 bootpd[17565]: hardware address not found: 004068175042

This message appears when the BOOTP server received a request from a device not in its internal bootptab tables.

Static Route Entry

If the OkiLAN 6010e has printed a configuration page showing the default address, but it cannot be reached through telnet, check the following:

• Display the host's routing tables with the 'netstat -r' command. Verify the route has been set correctly.

• If the route is set correctly, try pinging the device.

• Verify the OkiLAN 6010e is on the same subnet as the host from which you are telneting. As a drastic measure, try creating an isolated subnet with your host and the OkiLAN 6010e. If you are using 10BASE2, run the cable directly from the host to the OkiLAN 6010e. If using 10BASE-T cabling, connect the host to the OkiLAN 6010e through a hub not connected to any other host.

• If the static route has been set up and can telnet to the OkiLAN 6010e, but your changes do not seem to be saved, check the host's routing tables. You might have telneted to a different OkiLAN 6010e than the one you intended. While in telnet, select the second menu option, Show Network/ Printer Information. The hardware address and serial number are displayed. Verify they are the same as the unit you are configuring.
• Turn off the OkiLAN 6010e you want to configure. Run telnet again. If you reach a different device, there is an IP address conflict.
• If you are able to ping to the OkiLAN 6010e, but are unable to telnet, the IP address is probably being shared with another device that does not support telnet.

OkiNet for TCP/IP - Winsock Errors

• If you see an error before OkiNet for TCP/IP appears on the screen, try setting a host name in the hosts file in the Windows directory (check the documentation for your Windows TCP/IP stack).
• If you have difficulty seeing a particular OkiLAN 6010e, try moving the device onto the same subnet as the computer running the utility.
• If OkiNet for TCP/IP gives you the Winsock error: Could not bind to socket, use the Special Options dialog under the File menu to change the Discovery UDP Port to a different port number.

Hardware Error Messages

ST: Cable not connected

Self-test has determined that the network cable is not connected.

• Check the cable connection to the OkiLAN 6010e.
• Move the OkiLAN 6010e to another known working node.

If you find the cable is connected and you are still receiving this message or any other "ST:" error message, power cycle the OkiLAN 6010e. If the error continues, call Okidata Customer Support at 1-800-OKIDATA (1-800-654-3282).

System CRC Failed

The OkiLAN 6010e has failed.

• Power cycle the OkiLAN 6010e once. If the error continues, call Okidata Customer Support at 1-800-OKIDATA (1-800-654-3282).

Printing a Configuration Page

If the status indicator turns solid orange due to an error and no configuration page is printed, your printer may be configured for PostScript operation. If so, you must re-configure your printer for standard ASCII mode so that the configuration page can be printed.

If you do not know the configuration of the OkiLAN 6010e or you think the configuration has been changed, use the following method for printing a configuration page:

• With the network cable detached, attach the OkiLAN 6010e to a printer and power cycle the print server. When the OkiLAN 6010e powers up, it will detect the detached network cable and print a configuration sheet. If no configuration sheet is printed and the indicator has turned green, check the printer and verify it is ready to print. If you are using boot protocols (RARP or BOOTP) to assign the IP address, the IP address will be listed as Using network protocol (0.0.0.0) on the configuration page.

Unable to Print

LPR/LP

• If the indicator blinks green, the OkiLAN 6010e is receiving data. If nothing is actually printing, check the printer settings. For example, if you are using a PostScript printer, verify the OkiLAN 6010e is also set to PostScript.

• Try pinging the OkiLAN 6010e by its IP address (not the hostname). This will verify the unit is functioning on the network.

• If the ping succeeds, try ftping a test file to the print server. If the ping fails, you might have a configuration problem with the OkiLAN 6010e (the IP address or gateway address might be incorrect, etc.).

• If the ftp succeeds, there is a problem with the lpr/lp setup. Verify the hostname or IP address is correctly set for the queue. Try doing an lpstat (System V) or lpq (BSD) to query the status of the OkiLAN 6010e.

FTP

• If the indicator blinks green, the printer is receiving data. If nothing is actually printing, check the printer settings. For example, if you are using a PostScript printer, verify the OkiLAN 6010e is set to PostScript also.
• Try pinging the device by its IP address (not the hostname). This will verify the OkiLAN 6010e is functioning on the network.
• If you cannot connect over ftp but the ping succeeds, try telneting to the OkiLAN 6010e and print a configuration page to verify settings. If that fails, you might have a TCP/IP configuration problem with the OkiLAN 6010e.

Assigning the OkiLAN 6010e IP Address with BOOTP

BOOTP is an acronym for BOOTStrap Protocol. Every TCP/IP network device is required to have a unique 32-bit IP address assigned to it. TCP/IP network devices will have both an IP address and a 48 bit Ethernet/Token-Ring (network hardware) address. Ethernet addresses usually cannot be configured and are hard coded by the manufacturer of the device. BOOTP is a protocol used by devices that know their network hardware address, but do not know their IP address. When powering up on a network, a device that uses BOOTP will broadcast its network hardware address in a BOOT request packet. A BOOTP server (which may be a UNIX workstation) will respond with an IP address. The device will then know its IP address and use this address to perform subsequent TCP/IP transactions.

Note: Once the OkiLAN 6010e has been assigned an IP address, the OkiLAN 6010e configuration utility (which is run by accessing the OkiLAN 6010e using telnet) or OkiNet for TCP/IP will allow you to change and/or make the IP address permanent. This means that a BOOTP server needs to be available only during installation of the OkiLAN 6010e.

Address Formats

Network hardware addresses are 48-bits and are expressed in 6 bytes (hexadecimal format) usually separated by colons. Each hexadecimal byte has a range from 00 to FF.

Example: 00:40:68:17:50:A4

IP addresses are 32-bits and are expressed in 4 bytes (decimal format) usually separated by periods. Each decimal byte has a range from 0 to 255.

Example: 192.168.42.1

Configuration File

The purpose of BOOTP is to look up a 32-bit IP address given a 48-bit network hardware address. The BOOTP server (which is usually a UNIX workstation running a bootpd daemon) performs this function using one configuration file and one or more daemons. The configuration file is "/etc/bootptab" and the daemon is called bootpd.

A name can be arbitrarily assigned to any device on a network. The following examples use the name OKIPRINTER. Remember that this name is arbitrary; a customer can assign any name they wish.

/etc/bootptab:

The "/etc/bootptab" file has entries where each entry maps a network hardware address to an IP address.

Example:

OKIPRINTER:\

ht=ether:\

ha=0040681750A4:\

ip=192.168.42.55

The ht signifies hardware type. For the OkiLAN 6010e, it will always be ether for an Ethernet device and token for a Token-Ring device. The ha signifies the network hardware address. For BOOTP, the network hardware address must be represented without the colons between each byte. The ip part of the entry is where the IP address is specified. There are several other parameters that can be specified in a bootptab entry. However, the three parameters shown here are the only ones required for OkiLAN 6010e installation.

The following sequence of events occurs during the power up of the OkiLAN 6010e using BOOTP.

1. An OkiLAN 6010e powers up but does not know its IP address. (It does know its network hardware address.)
2. The OkiLAN 6010e sends out a BOOTP request packet with its network hardware address. For this example, the network hardware address is 00:40:68:17:50:A4.

3. The bootpd daemon running on a BOOTP server (which in this example is a UNIX workstation) sees the BOOTP request along with the network hardware address. It looks up the network hardware address in the "/etc/bootptab" file. The bootpd daemon finds the associated IP address of the device in the bootptab file.

4. The bootpd daemon transmits a response to the OkiLAN 6010e with the IP address 192.168.42.55. The OkiLAN 6010e will use this IP address for all subsequent transmissions.

For these steps to work properly, at least one BOOTP daemon (bootpd) must be running on the BOOTP server. To test whether a BOOTP daemon is running on the BOOTP server, use the ps command with the show all process option within fifteen minutes of an attempted BOOTP request. Unfortunately, the ps options differ from one UNIX workstation to another. Perform a man ps at the UNIX prompt to consult a manual page on the ps command for a particular workstation. If bootpd is not running on a workstation, type man bootpd at the UNIX prompt to consult a manual page on the BOOTP daemon and how to start it.

Limitations

Often TCP/IP networks are divided into subnets. BOOTP does not work across subnets. When installing an OkiLAN 6010e, make sure the following criteria are met for BOOTP to work properly.

• Both the BOOTP server and the OkiLAN 6010e are physically attached to the same subnet.
• The IP address assigned to the OkiLAN 6010e and the IP address of the BOOTP server belong to the same subnet.

OR

• Your router(s) are configured to forward BOOTP packets between the OkiLAN 6010e's subnet and the subnet of the host running the BOOTP server.

Configuring the OkiLAN 6010e IP Address with RARP

RARP is an acronym for Reverse Address Resolution Protocol. Every TCP/IP network device must have a unique 32-bit IP address. TCP/IP network devices will have both an IP address and a 48-bit Ethernet (network hardware) address. Ethernet addresses usually cannot be configured and are hard coded by the manufacturer of the device. RARP is a protocol used by devices that know their network hardware address, but do not know their IP address. When powering up on a network, a device that uses RARP will broadcast its network hardware address in a RARP request message. A RARP server (which may be a UNIX workstation) will respond with an IP address. The device will then know its IP address and use this address to perform subsequent TCP/IP transactions.

Note: Once the OkiLAN 6010e has been assigned an IP address, the OkiLAN 6010e configuration utility (which is accessed by telneting to the OkiLAN 6010e) or OkiNet for TCP/IP will allow you to change and/or make the IP address permanent. This means that a RARP server needs to be available only during installation of the OkiLAN 6010e.

Address Formats

Network hardware addresses are 48-bits and are expressed in 6 bytes in hexadecimal format usually separated by colons. Each hexadecimal byte has a range from 00 to FF.

Example: 00:02:16:17:50:A4

IP addresses are 32-bits and are expressed in 4 bytes in decimal format usually separated by periods. Each decimal byte has a range from 0 to 255.

Example: 192:168:42:55

Configuration Files

The purpose of RARP is to look up a 32-bit IP address given a 48-bit network hardware address. The RARP server (which is usually a UNIX workstation running a rarpd daemon) performs this function using two configuration files and one or more daemons. The configuration files are "/etc/hosts" and "/etc/ethers" and the daemon is called rarpd. A name can be assigned to any device on a network and is arbitrary. For the following examples the name used for the OkiLAN 6010e is OKIPRINTER. Remember that this name is arbitrary; a customer can assign any name.

/etc/hosts: The “/etc/hosts” file is where each entry maps a host name to an IP address. An example entry is shown below.

192.168.42.55 OKIPRINTER

/etc/ethers:

The "/etc/ethers" file is where each entry maps a host name to a network hardware address. An example entry is shown below.

00:02:16:17:50:A4 OKIPRINTER

The following sequence of events occurs during the power up of the OkiLAN 6010e using RARP:

1. The OkiLAN 6010e powers up but does not know its IP address. However, it does know its network hardware address.
2. It sends out an RARP request message with its network hardware address. For this example, the OkiLAN 6010e address is 00:02:16:17:50:A4.
3. The rarpd daemon running on an RARP server (in this example the RARP server is a UNIX workstation) sees the RARP request along with the network hardware address in the "/etc/ethers" file. The rarpd daemon finds the host name, OKIPrintER, listed as the name associated with the network hardware address.

4. The rarpd then consults the "/etc/hosts" file and looks up the name OKIPrintER. It finds an IP address (in this case 192.168.42.55) associated with the name OKIPrintER.

5. The rarpd daemon transmits a response to the OkiLAN 6010e with the IP address 192.168.42.55. The OkiLAN 6010e will then use this IP address for all subsequent transmissions.

For all these steps to work properly, at least one RARP daemon (rarpd) must be running on the RARP server. On most UNIX systems, this can be tested by using the ps command with the show all processes option. Unfortunately, the ps options differ from one UNIX workstation to another. Perform a man ps at the UNIX prompt to consult a manual page on the ps command for a particular workstation. If rarpd is not running on a workstation, type man rarpd at the UNIX prompt to consult a manual page on the RARP daemon and how to start it.

Limitations

Often TCP/IP networks are divided into subnets. RARP does not work across subnets. When installing an OkiLAN 6010e, make sure the following two criteria are met for RARP to work properly.

1. Both the RARP server and the OkiLAN 6010e are physically attached to the same subnet.
2. The IP address assigned to the OkiLAN 6010e and the IP address of the RARP server belong to the same subnet.

Configuring HP-UX v8.07 for Printing with the OkiLAN 6010e

This application note describes the configuration of the printing system on the HP-UX ver. 8.07 of the UNIX operating system. For clarity and brevity, the following specific names will be used to represent general devices or concepts.

• lj4 - The local queue name on the HP-UX system to which print jobs that are destined for a printer attached to the OkiLAN 6010e will be directed.
• OKIPrintER - The host name of the remote system which is the OkiLAN 6010e. For example, to telnet to the OkiLAN 6010e and invoke the OkiLAN 6010e Configuration utility, you would type telnet OKIPrintER. A host name is not required for the OkiLAN 6010e, the IP Address may be used.
• yourqueueiname – This is the name of the queue on the OkiLAN 6010e and must end with 1, 2, 3 or 4, depending on the port selected to service the print jobs.

If FF, LF or NF are the last two letters of the queue name, the job will be converted accordingly. See pages 18 through 20 for more information on remote queue names.

Prerequisites

Before you proceed, the following prerequisites must be met. Most of the time, steps 2 through 5 are already configured since the HP-UX system is on a TCP/IP network. Do not perform steps 2 through 5 unless the installation procedure fails!

1. The name OKIPRINTER and the IP address assigned to the OkiLAN 6010e are in the "/etc/hosts" file on the HP-UX system.

2. Make sure the rlp process is not running by typing at the UNIX prompt:

ps -e | grep rlp

If rlp is not running, you will not see any output after executing this command.

If rlp is running (that is, if you see output after executing this command), kill the process with the command:

kill -15 process_number

1. Make sure the following entry is in the "etc/inetd.conf" file:

printer stream tcp nowait root /usr/lib/ rlpdaemon rlpdaemon -i

If the rlp daemon is not running when a print request is made, this entry in "/etc/inetd.conf" tells inetd to auto-start the rlp daemon to service the pending print request.

This is helpful if the daemon was terminated for some reason. For more information on inetd or “/etc/inetd.conf”, type man inetd or man inetd.conf.

1. Make sure the following entry is in the “/etc/services” file

primer 515/tcp spooler

1. Start inetd by typing the following at the UNIX prompt:

/etc/inetd-c

Procedure

HP-UX uses an interactive utility called SAM (System Administration Manager) to configure printing. To configure printing using SAM, do the following:

1. Login to the HP-UX system as root.
2. Invoke the SAM utility by typing sam at the UNIX prompt. (We suggest you do this at the system console. SAM uses a screen oriented interface that works best at the console.)
