Page 13: 1: Introduction
NetWare (IPX/SPX ) NetWare allows devices attached to the ETS to act as networked printers. The ETS supports all Net- Ware frame types: Ethernet v2, Native Mode (802.3), 802.2, and 802.2 SNAP. In addition, it sup- ports both Bindery mode and NetWare Directory Services (NDS).
Page 14: Terms
IEEE 1284 parallel interface) is required. LAN Manager Support The ETS can be configured to appear as a print node to other LAN Manager nodes. Supported sys- tems include Windows NT and Windows 95. LAT and Digital Compatibility The ETS supports LAT and TSM/NCP, making it fully compatible with most Digital Equipment Corporation operating environments.
Page 15 An extensive Help facility is also provided. Easy Configuration The EZWebCon utility (provided on CD-ROM) allows users to configure the ETS from a any host machine running the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). It also allows remote host logins into the Server, which are similar to Telnet and LAT logins.
Page 16 Security The ETS includes several configurable security features. They include: Group codes, which allow the ETS to act as a filter to limit the user’s knowledge of, and access to, specific services. Automatic session logouts when a port is disconnected or a device is turned off.
Page 17: How To Use This Manual
Power-up and interactive diagnostics help system managers troubleshoot network and serial line problems. 1.5 How To Use This Manual The rest of the chapters in this manual describe the features and commands of the ETS. Information is broken down as follows: Chapters 2 through 6 cover general functionality: Chapter 2, Concepts, explains the basic ideas behind ETS operation.
Page 18 How To Use This Manual Introduction Chapter 12, Command Reference, lists the ETS command set in detail, including syntax, options, errors, examples, and where to find related information. Appendices provide supplementary information, including Technical Support contact information, troubleshooting tips, and pinout information.
Page 19: 2: Concepts
2.1 Services Services are the basic method of connecting to the ETS from any host or another server. In general, a service is required on the ETS before any job or connection queueing will take place. See the Server Configuration chapter for details on creating and using services.
Page 20: Rs-422
A network protocol describes the data contained in Ethernet packets. The network protocols provided by the ETS are completely separate, other than the use of the Ethernet data layer. The following figure shows the protocol stacks supported by the ETS.
Page 21: Appletalk
(explained in Section 2.4.2). Users who select a ETS service as their LaserWriter will have their print jobs forwarded to the ETS for printing, or for queueing if the print port on the ETS is in use or otherwise unavailable.
Page 22: Name Binding Protocol (Nbp)
(the default zone) of which all nodes are members. If no zone name has been previously defined on the ETS, or if the defined zone is no longer valid, the ETS will join the default zone and no other configuration is needed.
Page 23: Lat
LAT software is built around the concept of services. A service may be provided by a dedicated device, such as a printer, or by a network host. A device that offers one or more services, such as your ETS, is called a node.
Page 24 Concepts In general, all services offered by the ETS are associated with one or more ports; exceptions to this rule will be noted later. Figure 2-2 shows an example of services offered on a network. Figure 2-2: Example of Network Services...
Page 25: Tcp/Ip
TCP/IP Suppose Bob is logged into port 4 on his ETS and the server manager has given port 4 access to groups 1, 7, 13, and 105. Bob, or anyone else using port 4, can only access services that have one of those group numbers.
Page 26: Telnet
By default, Telnet connects to a pre-set port number to access a remote host’s Telnet server. The ETS allows the specification of a port number other than the default to be used for the connection. For example, if a host is set up to listen to Telnet requests on port number 1034, that port number can be specified in the Telnet command entered into the ETS.
Page 27: Name Resolution
This mask tells how much of the IP address is the network address, and is applied to the IP addresses of both the ETS and the remote host. If the resulting addresses are identical, the connection is deemed local and the host is contacted directly.
Page 28: Local Host Table
IP address would have to be used for the connection. Also, if the ETS has not been told which local host is acting as the name server (see the Set/Define Server Nameserver command), it assumes that none is available and the connect request will likely fail.
Page 29 Note: The ETS will use BOOTP or RARP to acquire an IP address at boot time, and then it will request an IP address via DHCP once it is running. If the runtime DHCP request fails, the server will use the IP address stored in NVRAM.
Page 30: Serial Line Internet Protocol (Slip)
The ETS checks each packet it receives to see if it is destined for the ETS, or if it should send it to one of the SLIP hosts or out to the Ethernet. If an Ethernet packet is sent to the ETS and there is no SLIP connection for it, or if a packet is received from a SLIP port but is not from the host that is supposed to be there, the packet is discarded.
Page 31: Simple Network Management Protocol (Snmp)
For example, you can print files from your UNIX host to a printer attached to the ETS through your host’s lp or lpr print system. ETS services do not care what hosts are using them.
Page 32: Lpr Support
The ETS and many UNIX systems implement the lpr (Berkeley remote printing) protocol, a protocol that makes it very easy to add print hosts to a system. To add the ETS as a print host, add the ETS’s IP address to a host table and add the ETS’s service name as a print queue.
Page 33: Lat And Tcp/Ip Connectivity
The service capabilities of the ETS also allow translation between LAT and Telnet protocols. For example, a user on a LAT host might see and connect to an ETS offering service ernie as a LAT connection. This “service” might actually be a Telnet connection to host ernie. In the other direction, a TCP/IP user can use the UNIX Telnet or Rlogin command to connect to a LAT host through the ETS.
Page 34: Netware
Any user or application that can use NetWare print queues can spool jobs to the ETS. The ETS must periodically query the file servers for pending jobs. To do so, it logs into a file server to access the print spooler, and will try to connect to all file servers on the local network (subject to access lists, explained later) to check for such jobs.
Page 35: Sessions
With the ETS, however, this restriction is eliminated. A user can have several open sessions at a time, although only one is displayed on the screen. Four important topics accompany our discussion of multiple session support: Leaving an active session and returning to the Local prompt.
Page 36: Postscript
PostScript is a verbose language; it is recommended that the printer and ETS use a baud rate of at least 9600 to communicate over serial lines. A baud rate of 38400 or better is strongly recommended for high-output duty;...
Page 37: Remote Configuration
The TSM utility uses NCP to start login sessions with the ETS and allows files of ETS commands to be sent to the ETS. Access to remote control of the ETS can be protected by the maintenance password.
Page 38: Menu Mode
A menu command of Exit can be specified, in which case the user will be allowed to exit menu mode and return to the command line to enter normal ETS command lines. This might be useful, for users who prefer the ease of use of a menu but need to return to the command line occasionally.
Page 39: Event Reporting/Logging
2.13.2 Event Reporting/Logging The ETS can be configured to report various errors and events either to the serial console port or to a network host via TCP/IP (using the syslogd facility), LAT, or NetWare. Events that can be logged include user logins, modem events, printer state changes, system boots, system resets, and a full record of commands issued on the ETS.
Page 41: 3: Getting Started
Define commands. EZWebCon is shipped with the ETS on CD-ROM. It can be installed and used on any computer for which there is a Java Virtual Machine. To install EZWebCon, refer to the README file located in the EZWebCon directory.
Page 42: Using A Web Browser
Figure 3-1: Sample Web Browser Login Once you have connected to the ETS, you will see the Lantronix ThinWeb Manager interface. Use the left- hand menu to navigate to subpages where you can configure important settings as well as view statistics and other server information.
Page 43: Entering And Editing Commands
This can save time and reduce errors if you’re entering a number of commands. To use command completion, type part of a command, then press the space bar; the ETS will automatically “type” the remainder of the command. If the partial command is ambiguous, the terminal will beep to prompt you for more information.

Page 45: Clear And Purge
The following sections detail configuration that is required on a sporadic or ongoing basis. 3.6.1 Changing the Server Name The ETS is initially configured with a server name. However, you can give the ETS a custom name of up to 16 alphanumeric characters using the following command: Figure 3-5: Changing the Server Name Local>>...
Page 46: Changing The Server Prompt
Port_5[NoSession]_5>% 3.6.3 Rebooting the Server There are two ways to reboot the ETS: pressing the Reset button while using EZWebCon, or entering the Initialize command at the Local> prompt. Options to the Initialize command include rebooting the server, reloading the Flash-ROM code, and restoring the unit’s factory default settings.
Page 47: Restoring Factory Defaults
ROM programming phase, the code in the ROMs will be invalid and the ETS will have to be reloaded again from the network host the next time it is turned on. 3.7 Editing the Boot Parameters...
Page 48: System Passwords
The prompt may change to reflect privileged user status, if configured to do so. Note: If another user is currently logged into the ETS as the privileged user, you can use the Set Privileged Override command to forcibly become the privileged user.
Page 49: Login Password
(via TFTP), from a VMS host (via LAT), or from a NetWare fileserver when the ETS boots. Using a configuration file can reduce the time required to configure the ETS. Options that would need to be manually set using EZWebCon or the command line can be automatically executed.
Page 50: Using Ezwebcon
ETS to boot perpetually, and recovery will require that you flush the unit’s NVR. Managers can use the Source command to test the file, in effect causing the ETS to attempt to download a configuration file before making it a part of the server’s boot routine. This test is strongly recommended as it helps eliminate errors that might prevent the ETS from booting.
Page 51: Configuring The Host
For NetWare, put the configuration file in the fileserver’s login directory. 3.9.2.3 Configuring the Server To configure the ETS to use the commands in the configuration file, use the Source command. If the configuration file must be downloaded each time the ETS boots, the filename must be specified using the Set/Define Server Startupfile command.
Page 52 The ETS is not usable while retrying a download. Note: If the startupfile is not readable, or if there is a problem with the file and the ETS cannot boot fully, you will still be able to access the ETS via the NCP/TSM and Telnet console ports.
Page 53: 4: Server Configuration
4: Server Configuration After powering up the ETS for the first time, you will want to configure it for everyday use. Most of the parameters discussed in this chapter only need to be set once and can be left alone until a major change is needed.

Page 55: Lat Server Parameters
4.3.1 Server Identification Select a short, unique and descriptive name for the ETS, as well as a more descriptive string to be used as the identification string. The name may contain up to 16 characters and the identification string may contain up to 40 characters.
Page 56: Netware Server Parameters
In general, this will allow all nodes and fileservers to access the ETS regardless of frame type. If this behavior is not desired, the ETS can be restricted to only one frame format (and thus will not need the internal network and routing support).
Page 57: Tcp/Ip Server Parameters
Server Configuration TCP/IP Server Parameters By default, the ETS will only query local fileservers, but this may still be too many in a large network. The Clear/Purge Protocol NetWare Access command allows you to remove items from the access list.
Page 58: Local Host Table
In addition to the Local Host table, the ETS has a TCP/IP security table that can be used to restrict incoming or outgoing TCP/IP connections. Managers can restrict connections by address or network on a port by port basis.
Page 59 Set SLIP command. After the SLIP session is started, the Local mode of the ETS is not reachable again until the port is logged out, thus terminating the SLIP session. The port can be logged out via the Logout Port command or via de-assertion of DSR on the serial line.
Page 60 4.5.5.1 Configuring Necessary SLIP Parameters No SLIP session can be started until the ETS knows the IP address of the remote SLIP host, the MTU to use for the SLIP connection, and whether to forward Broadcast IP packets onto the SLIP line. Each of these parameters can be set in one of three places: as a default for the entire server, as a default for a particular port, or when the SLIP session is initiated.
Page 61 Local> SET SLIP IPADDRESS 192.0.1.50 After entering the Set SLIP command, the user will be logged out and the ETS will begin treating all input from the serial line as SLIP packets. The Local> prompt cannot be reached again unless the SLIP session is terminated (via the Logout Port command) and the user logs back into the ETS.
Page 62 Local> SET SERVER SLIP PASSWORD slpass If a SLIP password has been set on the ETS, the server will prompt for it after the Set SLIP command has been entered. If the password is not entered correctly, SLIP will not be started on that port; the user will remain at the Local>...
Page 63 SLIP line. The IP errors field shows incoming packets that were discarded due to protocol problems including checksums errors, header problems, and incorrect source hosts. The ETS will discard any packets from the SLIP session that are not from the initially-configured host.
Page 64: Creating Services
When you try to modify a service that already exists, the command will simply change its characteristics. If the service does not exist yet, the server assumes you want to create that service. The ETS will only print an error message if you try to remove a service that does not exist. Connections and queueing are enabled by default whenever you create a service.
Page 65: Setting Up A Service With Group Codes
Group codes only apply to LAT connections. They have no effect on the other Note: protocols supported by the ETS (AppleTalk, LAN Manager, NetWare, and TCP/ IP). Set up port 2 to which the printer will be connected, reset the speed to 2400 baud, and disable broadcasts to the port.
Page 66: Tcp/Telnet Service Sockets
Banner If enabled, provides a banner page before service data is sent to the port. The host software may still provide its own banner page regardless of the ETS service setting. This option should not be used with PostScript. Binary If enabled, prevents the ETS from processing the data stream.
Page 67: Setting Up A Modem Service
Modem control and password protection are both enabled. Users who dial into the modem and connect to the ETS’s serial port will have to enter the login password due to the Define Port Password Enabled entry. This option can be omitted if not desired.
Page 68: Security
(including Telnet, Rlogin, SLIP, and RTEL). The security table allows the manager to enable or disable access to and from the ETS based on port number as well as IP address. The IP security table does not apply to print connections via RTEL.
Page 69 ETS. Outgoing refers to local users connecting to other TCP/IP hosts. Port number 0 corresponds to the virtual ports (that is, users who log into the ETS from the network). If no ports are specified on the command line, all ports, both physical and virtual, are included by default.
Page 70: Snmp Security
4.8 Event Logging The ETS can be configured to report various events either to a serial port on the ETS or to a remote host. The latter can be done within the TCP/IP, LAT, or NetWare protocols. TCP/IP messages will be sent to the syslogd daemon on the host, while LAT and NetWare messages will be echoed to the console of the host/ fileserver.
Page 71: Host Name Formats
Indicates a TCP/IP host, specified as either an IP address or text host name. hostname\ Indicates a NetWare fileserver. CONSOLE Indicates events should be logged to the ETS serial console port (designated as port 1). 4.8.3 Event Classes The event classes that can be logged are: Commands All commands issued on the ETS will be reported (verbose output).
Page 73: 5: Ports
Set/Define Ports commands explained in this chapter. There is one virtual port on every ETS. Referred to as port 0, it governs all incoming Telnet and Rlogin connections (those that are not associated with a physical port). Virtual ports are configured the same way as physical ports, the only difference being that all incoming connections get the same set of port characteristics.
Page 74: Serial Configuration
5.1.2.1 Baud Rate The ETS and attached serial device, such as a modem, must agree on a speed or baud rate to use for the serial connection. The default speed is 9600 baud. Other baud rates can be set with the Set/Define Port Speed command followed by a baud rate number.
Page 75: Setting Up Flow Control
For example, the ETS will assert RTS when it is ready to accept data. When it can no longer accept data (its buffers are full) it will de-assert RTS. A connected device will monitor the assertion and de-assertion of this signal and will only send data when RTS is asserted.
Page 76 If you plan to dedicate all of the ETS’s ports, be sure that you have another way to log into the ETS (for example, via Telnet), or else you will have to initialize the ETS to its factory default settings.
Page 77: Virtual Ports
Environment strings can be added to the commands to specify additional connection information for a preferred connection. The following example tells the ETS to use the remote host’s FTP port (port 21) for the connection, and to use Passall mode.
Page 78: Modems
5.2.1 Modem Basics When Modem Control is enabled on a port, the ETS uses the DSR input signal on the serial port to decide when there is a valid modem connection and the Data Transmit Ready (DTR) output line to signal the modem that a connection is possible or acceptable.
Page 79: Modem Wiring
The user works for a while, then decides to log out and exit. If the user logs off the ETS locally, the ETS drops the DTR line long enough to signal the modem to hang up the remote connection (roughly 3 seconds).
Page 80: Baud Rates
DSR signal, it’s assumed to be disconnected or powered off. In this case, the remote login isn’t permitted, and print jobs are not sent from the ETS to the printer. See Preventing Access Until DSR Is Asserted on page 5-15 for more information.
Page 81: Modem Configuration
If only one standard baud rate is to be supported, set the ETS to that rate and disable autobaud. Flow control may be disabled, subject to the same caveats discussed above.
Page 82: Modem Configuration Checklist
Autobaud should only be enabled if required. 5.2.8 Testing the Modem Configuration The example tests in this section assume that the modem is attached to port 4 and the modem and ETS checklists have been followed. Dial into the ETS and issue the Test Port command. A regular cascading pattern should be printed. If characters are lost after a few dozen lines, there is a flow control problem.
Page 83: Other Port Characteristics
Ports Other Port Characteristics Dial into the ETS again. The port should have been reset, and should no longer be connected to the network host. If not, the modem is incorrectly asserting DSR/CD, or there is a wiring problem. If outbound calls are to be supported, connect to the modem’s service with the Connect command. In many cases the Connect Local command is a quick shortcut: dial a remote modem.
Page 84: Device Type
The ETS is also configured for group zero, so by default, all ports can access any services local to this ETS. To allow port access to specific groups, enter the Set/Define Port Authorized Groups command.
Page 85: Port Messages
Various degrees of “verbosity” are available for ports receiving ETS messages. Messages from other users on the ETS can be enabled or disabled with the Broadcast flag. If the serial line connecting a terminal to the ETS is an unsure connection, setting Loss Notification will cause an audible beep if a character is lost.
Page 86: Security
Set/Define Port Security command allows the ETS manager to restrict a port user’s actions on the ETS. Ports set this way are called secure ports. If a port is set secure, it cannot see or affect other ports on the system, nor can it use the Set Privileged command.
Page 87: Locking A Port
Unlock password> donut (not echoed) Local> For information on enabling the ETS Lock feature, see Enabling Server-Wide Port Characteristics on page 4-1. To unlock a port without the Lock password, a privileged user must use the Unlock Port command, or log out the port using the Logout command.
Page 88: Automatic Logouts
There are two windows of vulnerability where an attacker could gain unauthorized access to the ETS: the first exists after the ETS hangs up the modem but before the modem dials the user back, and the second exists after a dialback attempt fails but before the ETS reaches the end of its 80-second timeout period.
Page 89 If the Dialback call should fail for any other reason before the 80-second timeout (for example, if the number dialed is busy), a second caller may be able to log into the ETS. This possibility can be virtually eliminated by two steps: In the Dialback string itself, issue a command to ignore incoming calls.
Page 91: 6: Using The Ets
6: Using the ETS A connection to a service or host is called a session on that host. One of the most useful features of the ETS is that it allows you to have multiple sessions on different hosts, and gives you easy access to all of them.
Page 92: Configuring Your Port
If you leave connected sessions for long periods of time, a host may log you out. Many hosts are set to log off users after a set period of inactivity; this will not affect your login to the ETS, but you will have to log into the remote host again.
Page 93: Connecting To Services
After configuring and using the ETS in Local mode, you will probably want to connect to remote hosts. A remote host is any host beyond your ETS, whether it is in another country or in the same office as you are.
Page 94: Connecting To Telnet Hosts
Keep in mind that many LAT-supporting terminals and hosts do not have provisions for a Break key that can be used by the ETS. If you plan to connect to a remote host from the ETS and will need to return to Local mode, be sure to set a Local Switch character (see Break on page 6-7).
Page 95: Connecting To Local Ports
Users can connect to local ETS ports. This is useful, for example, when configuring the unit from a serial port. To connect to a local port from an ETS login, use the Connect Local command at the Local> prompt. Figure 6-6: Connecting Locally Local>...
Page 96: Connecting To The Server From Unix Hosts
The command displayed below will attempt a connection through the ETS to service etsname. The service can be local to the ETS or on another host on the network. Either a LAT or a Telnet service can be used; LAT will be tried first.
Page 97: Session Management
A default Telnet service is different from a default LAT service. If you have only a default Telnet service set up but type Connect, you will get an error because there is no default LAT host set up (the ETS will attempt a connection to a LAT host first, but will not find one).
Page 98: Disconnect And Resume
When the Broadcast feature is enabled by your system manager, you can use the Broadcast command to send messages to other users on your ETS by specifying either a port number or a username. If a user is specified, the message will go the user with that name. If there are multiple users with the same name, the message will go to the one with the lowest port number.
Page 99: Lock
Three sets of commands can be used to view ETS status displays. The Show commands show the current availability of hosts and services as well as the state of the ETS, its ports, and the local services. Monitor commands provide a continuous display rather than a one-time look.

Page 103: 7: Tcp/Ip Host Setup
The ETS provides three major TCP/IP printing methods: Berkeley remote LPR and Reverse Telnet (RTEL) host software and sockets. All methods provide queueing of jobs if the ETS is busy with another job. If custom queueing software has been designed, raw TCP/IP or Telnet socket connections can be made directly to the ETS ports.
Page 104: Lpr Printing
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 ETS will print a banner page at the end of a job, and cannot support most of the LPR options.
Page 105: Lpr Basics
The example above creates a queue named ETS_PRT. The rm parameter is the name of the ETS in the host’s address file, the rp parameter is the name of the service as it exists on the ETS, and the sd parameter specifies the name of the directory used to hold temporary spooling files.

Figure 7-8: Installing Print Files # mkdev rlp The mkdev rlp command should only be installed once. If it is used repeatedly, Note: serious problems will result with the machine.
Page 112: Reverse Telnet (Rtel)
The RTEL software is simply a transport mechanism, and as such, it makes no assumptions about the actual devices attached to the server. Once the software is installed and connections to the ETS have been configured, normal UNIX print commands and queue utilities (such as lpc and lpstat) can be used.
Page 113: Queueing With The Rtel Software
7.3.3 Queueing with the RTEL Software A job can be queued by the host’s print system (lp, lpr, and others) or by the ETS itself. If you are only printing to one queue from one host to one ETS service, the queueing is provided by the host; it will not release a new job to the ETS until the previous job has completed.
Page 114: Setting Up The Rtel Backend Filter
This may explain why a particular host’s queue seems to stop for an extended time. The Show Queue display on the ETS will show the order of jobs pending on the ETS. The host’s lp or lpr utilities must be used to show jobs queued by the host.

There must be an entry in the options field; use the word “None” if no options are desired. There must also be an entry in the server_hosts file for each ETS print queue you wish to use. You may have multiple UNIX print queues using the same ETS print queue (for example, when you want to use different sets of options) but a UNIX print queue cannot use multiple ETS queues.
Page 117 TCP/IP Host Setup Reverse Telnet (RTEL) The command line parameters will be verified when the RTELPD daemon is started. The daemon process will then wait for input to arrive on the pipe device. When input data is detected, a connection attempt will be made to the target terminal server port, and if it is successful, data will start moving through the path.

Page 124: Printing
The ETS can process NetWare print jobs either as a printserver (pserver) or via rprinter. When using the pserver method, the ETS logs into a file server and then queries the server for pending print jobs that it can service. When using the rprinter method, the ETS dedicates the printer to a particular file server; the printer is not usable by other file servers or protocols.

Page 143: 9: Lat Host Setup
Once the port has been created, VMS users can use port LTAnnnn to connect to the ETS. When the port is used as the target of an application, such as a print queue, a LAT connection with the service will be attempted.
Page 144: Printing To A Service
9.1.2 Printing to a Service Printing using a LAT service requires the creation of three items: a LAT service on the ETS, a LAT device (application port) that references the print resource, and a print queue that uses the LAT application port Set up the print service on the ETS as shown in the example below.
Page 145: Printing Postscript
LCP> SET PORT LTA1234/NODE=server1/SERVICE=printer1 LCP> EXIT The ETS name must match the name in the /Node field in the LATCP Set Port command shown above. The service names specified must also match. In addition, you may want to use the following commands on the ETS to set up terminal characteristics for the print device.
Page 146: Printing Using Dcps Software
The ETS is able to translate RLAT jobs into RTEL jobs to another terminal server. The LAT host and local ETS should be on the same network, but the remote ETS to which the print device is attached needs only to be accessible via TCP/IP.
Page 147: The Ets$Configd Download Server
The example above will create the target service on port 7 and configure it to accept network connections. The local ETS must be able to resolve the IP address of the remote ETS in order for the RTEL connection to work.
Page 148: Troubleshooting
Command Reference chapter for more details. The ETS must be able to find the VMS host in order to utilize the download process. If the node limit on the ETS is set to zero, it may not be able to locate the VMS host. For downloading to work reliably, ensure that the ETS node limit is non-zero.
Page 149 As a last resort, connect a terminal to the port and see if data is appearing on the terminal when a print job is attempted. You can also try connecting to the service locally to see if the ETS is configured properly.
