Configuring Tcp/Ip - Tektronix Phaser 340 Service Manual

Configuring TCP/IP
7. Save the configuration file.
8. Following this, you can select another file server and create more
queues for the printer to service. You can have a total of 32 queues.
9.
After all file servers have been configured, save the configuration file
and restart the print server.
Alternatively, you can use a utility called PCONSOLE to perform the same
configuration. However, using PCONSOLE, you will not see and select the
printer on the network as you did in Step 4. Instead, you must enter the print
server printer name (TEKxxxxxx) as it is shown on the printer's configuration
page. (Refer to the topic "Printing the configuration page" on page 9-7 for
details on printing the configuration page.)
This is a brief overview of the steps you follow to configure the host and the
printer for a TCP/IP network. The Phaser Share User Manual gives the
step-by-step procedure you follow to perform this configuration. You will first
configure the host and then the printer.
Configuring the host
1.
Add the printer name to the host table (/etc/host) and assign an Internet
Protocol (IP) address to the printer's name.
2. Assign a print queue to the printer by editing the /etc/printcap file.
Configuring the printer
1.
Set the printer's IP address. This can be done through the printer's
front panel. Alternately, you can create a RARP or BOOTP
configuration file to automatically configure the printer's IP address
(although it will not be stored in the printer's NVRAM).
1. Authorize the TCP/IP protocol. This will have already been done at
the factory if the Option P2 was purchased with the printer. For a
TCP/IP protocol field upgrade you will have to perform this
procedure at the customer site by downloading the authorization code
to the printer. Alternately, you can access and authorize the printer
through a Web browser.
