Overview
This chapter details a complete Unix setup including:
•
Configuring the ethernet with its mandatory TCP/IP settings (e.g., IP
address and subnet mask).
•
Configuring the Unix host station with a new printer.
Unix Environment Description
The ethernet supports network printing under various TCP/IP environments
including all variations of Unix. Printing can come from multiple hosts directly
or through central spooling machines.
Ethernet Configuration
There are mandatory and optional settings needed before the print server can
be detected on the network. This section offers alternative methods for
configuring your ethernet and mentions some of the more common optional
settings available.
Mandatory
Since TCP/IP is used, the ethernet must be configured with a minimum of an
IP address and subnet mask before it can be seen on the network. To
configure these options, see "Configuration Tools" on page 20.
Optional
Additional settings, like routing entries, can be configured allowing for
communication across subnets.
Ethernet configuration can be done from the control panel through host
commands via Telnet or through the Web browser interface. To configure
these options, see "Configuration Tools" on page 20.
