Besides the HTML forms and software provided, the ethernet interface
internal command shell, npsh, can also be reached using Telnet and Remote
Shell, and FTP.
Telnet
A TCP/IP command that helps configure ethernet settings remotely. A TCP/IP
host starts a Telnet session with the print server and logs into the device
command shell to alter and view settings.
Example:
telnet 192.75.11.9
NOTE: The default User ID is root. There is no password by default, just
press ENTER. If you have changed the default User ID and
password, use the current User ID and the associated password
instead of the defaults. For more information on setting passwords,
see "Ethernet Security" on page 207.
Remote Shell
A TCP/IP command that helps configure print server settings remotely.
A TCP/IP host uses this command to remotely execute a single command on
the ethernet.
Example:
rsh spike list prn
This command remotely executes the npsh command list prn on the
ethernet named spike .
FTP
FTP can also be used to configure print server settings remotely. A TCP/IP
host uses FTP to store a file containing 1 or more NPSH commands on the
FTP file system. The configuration file must be FTP 'put' to the /config/default/
defaultCfg file. The configuration file can later be executed on demand using
the 'load oem' command during a telnet (NPSH) session. The configuration
file is also executed automatically during the power-up sequence when the
ethernet configuration is reset to default.
