Printer And Print Job Monitoring Example: store tcpip tcp access add 192.75.11.25 store tcpip tcp access add 192.75.12.0 store tcpip tcp access del 192.75.11.25 reset NOTE: Although the maximum number of entries in the access list is 10, each entry can refer to a network rather than a specific host. This allows all hosts on that specified network and any individual hosts specified in the list to have access.
Page 210: Printer Logging Through Logpaths
Chapter Printer Monitoring And Logging Printer Logging Through Logpaths In the ethernet product manual, destinations are described as logical queues with associated models and logpaths. Models determine if any extra processing is needed with the print jobs passing through, and logpaths determine whether any logging is needed for each job.
Page 211: Ethernet Naming Schemes
Ethernet Naming Schemes Printer Logging Through Logpaths Ethernet Naming Schemes A single I/O Port destination can be configured with a variety of model and logpath combinations. For instance, once you set the parameters for m1 and l1, you can assign the model and logpath to more than one I/O port destination such as d1prn, d2prn, and d8prn.

Page 221: Glossary
Glossary Address Resolution Protocol. Associates a selected IP address with a network device ethernet address. Bits per second. Centronics Parallel port interface standard found on most printers. daemon A continuously running process that handles system- wide functions like print spooling. default router Local device that forwards any IP packets destined for another subnet.
Page 222 Chapter File Transfer Protocol. Used for transferring files from one TCP/IP host to another and used in the upgrade process. gateway A hardware device that translates data between two incompatible networks. gateway address The IP address of a gateway. Hardware Exception Bus errors, address errors, and illegal instructions force the ethernet into this non-operational mode.
Page 223 Portable Document Format. Encodes different types of documents enabling them to be read across multiple platforms. Persistent DHCP When this option is enabled, the IP Address, Gateway, and Subnet Mask obtained through DHSP is saved. If the DHCP server does not provide an address, the device will use the previously saved DHCP IP address.
Page 224 Chapter subnet mask A binary value used to divide IP networks into smaller sub-networks or subnets. This mask is used to help determine whether IP packets need to be forwarded to other subnets. TCP/IP Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. Suite of protocols that act as the base protocol for the Internet.
