NOTE: In this manual, both the EPS2-100 and the EPS4-100 servers will be referred to as the EPS or as the Server unless a distinction needs to be made between the models.
Introduction 1.1 How to Use This Manual This guide is structured as follows: Chapter 2, Installation, explains how to physically install the Server. Chapter 3, Getting Started, explains the minimum configuration needed to operate the Server. Chapters 4 through 8 cover protocol-specific setup needed to install print queues and otherwise use the Server.
2.1 Product Description The front panel of the EPS has two RJ45 ports and either two DB25 ports (EPS2-100) or 4 DB25 ports (EPS4-100). The back panel of the EPS has one 10/100BASE-T port, a Test/Reset button, and a power plug.

Page 11
Installation Connect at least one printer to the EPS using an available serial or parallel port. If desired, connect a terminal to port 1 (the console port) to receive diagnostic and initial configuration messages. Connect the EPS to the 10/100BASE-T network. NOTE: The default serial port settings are 9600 baud, 8 bit characters, and no parity.
Getting Started 3 - Getting Started It is important to consider the following points before logging into and configuring the EPS: The EPS IP address must be configured before any TCP/IP functionality is available. (See Setting the IP Address on page 4-2.) There are two important passwords on the EPS: the privileged password and the login password.
Page 14
Your Server must have an IP address before EZWebCon can log into it for configura- tion purposes. See Setting the IP Address on page 4-2 for instructions. EZWebCon requires a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) on the client. Lantronix provides JVM installers for Solaris and 32-bit Windows users, as well as source code and instructions for compiling it for use on other systems.
Page 15
With few exceptions, a service must be created before print queues can be configured on the EPS. A service is a resource accessible to network hosts. A Lantronix service is also known as a remote printer name or remote queue name on many operating systems.
Page 16
Getting Started The default services on the serial ports have the TCP/IP, NetWare, LAN Manager, and AppleTalk protocols enabled. Parallel port services have TCP/IP, NetWare, and LAN Manager enabled. LAT is disabled by default on all services provided by the Server because many network managers object to the frequent LAT service announcements.
Neither Windows for Workgroups nor Windows 95 support LPR directly; however, there are third party solutions available. For more information about recommended peer-to-peer printing solutions, see the Lantronix Windows 95 FAQ on the CD-ROM or the Lantronix web site. 4 - 1...
Start EZWebCon. Instructions for installing, running, and using EZWebCon can be found on the distribution CD-ROM. Click on the Lantronix logo menu in the bottom left corner of the EZWebCon window, then select Assign IP Address to Server. Fill in the following information: A.

TCP/IP Configuration D. The IP address of the TFTP server you wish to use, if desired. Click OK. Cycle power on the server. EZWebCon will let you know whether the configuration was successful. 4.1.2 Using a Directed Ping Packet The ARP/ping method is available under UNIX, Windows 95, and Windows NT. If the EPS has no IP address, it will set its address from the first directed IP packet it receives.
Page 20
TCP/IP Configuration In order for the ARP command to work on Windows, the ARP table on the PC must have at least one IP address defined other than its own. If the ARP table is empty, the command will return an error message.

TCP/IP Configuration 4.1.3 Using a DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP Reply At boot time a host-based DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP server can respond to an EPS request for an available IP address. For information about configuring the DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP server, see your host documentation.
Page 23
TCP/IP Configuration 4.2 Notes About LPR There are four important things to note about the LPR printing method: Because of the way the LPR protocol is typically implemented on the host, the processing options and banner page are sent after the job data itself. The EPS will print a banner page at the end of a job, and cannot support most of the LPR options.
Page 24

TCP/IP Configuration 4.4 LPR on UNIX Hosts The Berkeley remote printing system is supported on many machines, and is simple to configure. This section describes how to configure LPR print queues on generic UNIX hosts such as SUN hosts. There are slight variations in LPR configuration for AIX, HP, and SCO hosts, as will be explained in the following sections.
Page 32
TCP/IP Configuration This will create a host queue named eps_prt. The rm parameter is the name of the EPS in the host's address file, the rp parameter is the name of the service as it exists on the EPS, and the sd parameter specifies the name of a directory used to hold temporary spooling files. Create a world-writable spooling directory using the mkdir command.
Page 33
TCP/IP Configuration To create a print queue: At the host prompt type smit. Choose Print Spooling. Choose Manage Print Server and Start the Print Server Subsystem (lpd daemon). In the Start the Print Server Subsystem dialog box, type both in the first field. The message The lpd subsystem has been started will appear.
Page 34
TCP/IP Configuration The name of the EPS unit, The name of the EPS service, The type of print spooler on the remote server, and A description of the printer on the remote server. A dialog box will appear with the message Added print queue eps_prt. NOTE: If you are unable to use SMIT, see the Print Server Reference Manual for UNIX commands for setting up print queues.
Page 35
TCP/IP Configuration 4.4.2 LPR on HP Hosts The System Administration Manager (SAM) allows you to create print queues. NOTE: If you are unable to use SAM, the Print Server Reference Manual located on the CD-ROM described UNIX commands that can be used to set up print queues.
Page 36
TCP/IP Configuration 4.4.3 LPR on SCO UNIX Hosts LPR is supported in SCO V3.2 release 4 with TCP/IP Version 1.2 and greater. To configure a print queue using LPR: Issue the mkdev rlp command. This will install the Berkeley remote printing files and exe- cutable programs.

(r/l) r Please enter the name of the remote host that backupprinter is attached to: EPS_xxxxxx The backupprinter is connected to host EPS_xxxxxx.
Page 38
If the LPR method of printing is not adequate for an application (for example, if you need banners before jobs, or more flexibility), configure the Lantronix-supplied RTEL software on the host. After installing the software configuring the connections to the EPS, you can use normal UNIX print commands and queue utilities such as lpc and lpstat.
