  • Page 7: Conventions

    Conventions This guide provides the correct syntax for commands used with Emulex printer servers containing software release 5.0. This section describes both general and command conventions used in this document and in other printer server documentation. NOTE: The user must login to the printer server to perform an Emulex printer server command.

  • Page 8: Command Lines

    Command Lines A command line begins with the symbol >, contains the word “Server” and a prompt. Prompts A prompt consists of the word Server followed by one or two greater than symbols (>). One (>) indicates nonprivileged status and two (>>) signify privileged or supervisor status.

  • Page 9: Options

    Options Options are used to customize a command. When available, the user should always use options. They are italicized and enclosed in brackets. > Server>> [set |define |change] server dhcp n m [temp] [default] temp default Quotation Marks When case-sensitive information is required, it must begin and end with quotation marks.

  • Page 10: Keyword Functions

    NOTE: Commands which affect non-volatile memory will cause a 30 second delay before non- volatile memory is updated. If printer server power is removed prior to this, the change will be lost. Modifications are immediate and temporary (stored in volatile memory). Old port values will return when the port is logged out.

  • Page 11: Show, Monitor And List

    Show, Monitor And List show monitor list Clear, Purge And Delete clear purge delete Displays current information stored in volatile memory. Similar to show, except the display is updated every second for privileged users or every 10 seconds for nonprivileged users. Displays information stored in non-volatile memory.

  • Page 16: General Commands

    At least one option must be entered, but only one option can be specified in a single arp command. Halt Printer Server Stop printer server causing memory dump to the dump host and printer server reinitialization. All users are logged off and all sessions are disconnected without any warning.

  • Page 17: Initialize

    When the initialize printer server command is issued with a delay, a warning message is sent every 30 minutes to all logged in ports. Five minutes before initialization, the warning is broadcast every minute. When the printer server is reinitialized, all options modified by Set commands are reset to their permanent values, and all options modified by Change and Define commands take effect.

  • Page 18: Check Ip Addres - Ping

    Designate user as a “super user” with privileged access. > Server> su A super user is authorized to perform all functions on the printer server. Enter this option along with the port_num to log out of a port other than the one you are currently using.

  • Page 23: Port Commands

    Deviations observed in the pattern indicate problems with either the device connected to the port or its cable connection to the printer server. If using the test command on a port connected to a PostScript printer, the printer will display an error condition.

  • Page 24: Acces

    Restricts the port to usage as a transparent gateway. Allows the serial port to be used as a parallel port on the printer server. This parallel port continues to accept remote LAN connections when the serial port is quiet. Disables all access to the port.

  • Page 25: Change Port Type

    This command is used in some Telnet session environments to strip the LF character. The printer server terminates its commands with CR. The LF character will inhibit the privileged password on the printer server, making it invalid. Enter the port number.

  • Page 26: Change Port Speed

    Server>> [set |define |change] port port_num [input |output] speed baud_rate port_num input output baud_rate Show Port Status - NETJet Display port status for NETJet printer servers and MIO interfaces. > Server>> [show |monitor] port port_num status [netjet |device] port_num netjet device The port affected by speed change.

  • Page 27: Server Commands

    Server>> define server name prnsvr_nam prnsvr_nam The printer server’s node name is used in certain commands and by host- initiated connections. The name must be different from all other node names on the same local network if the printer server accepts host- initiated connections or offers services.

  • Page 28: Show Server Characteristics

    Display the characteristics of the printer server. > Server>> [show |list] server characteristics This command will display a detailed listing of all printer server options such as local group, hardware group, network group, LAT_compatible group, TCP/IP group, and port IP address. This information is not continually updated since characteristic information does not change.
