Introduction 1 - Introduction The Lantronix Micro Print Server (MPS) is a multiprotocol print server that provides shared network access to printers for a variety of network protocols and operating systems. The MPS supports the AppleTalk (EtherTalk), Microsoft LAN Manager, Local Area Transport (LAT), IPX (NetWare), and TCP/IP protocols. The MPS can queue multiple pending jobs and service those jobs in the order that they are received from the hosts. The Centronics parallel port on th

Installation 2 - Installation 2.1 Product Description The front panel of the MPS has a Test button, LEDs, a power connector, and one of the following Ethernet ports: a BNC connector for 10BASE-2 (MPS1-2), an RJ45 port for 10BASE-T (MPS1-T), or an RJ45 port for 10/100BASE-T (MPS100). The rear panel has a Centronics connector. “back” Centronics Connector 10/100BASE-T Port TEST MPS100 5VDC “front” The LINK LED is solid green when there is a valid Ethernet network connection.

Installation The Test button serves two functions. When pressed brießy, it prints a test page. When pressed for Þve seconds while plugging in the power cable, it returns the Server to its factory default conÞguration. 2.2 Installation The following diagram shows a properly-installed MPS: PARALLEL PRINTER ´ 100BASE-T ` ‹ MPS100 To install the server, complete the following steps in order.

Installation 1. Connect the MPS Centronics connector directly to your printerÕs connector. 2a. For MPS1-T and MPS100 models, connect a twisted pair Ethernet cable to the MPS RJ45 connector. 2b. For MPS1-2 models, connect a thin coaxial Ethernet cable to the MPS BNC connector. 3. Attach one end of the power cable to the MPS; plug the other end into an electrical outlet. Power will come on automatically. NOTE: The LINK LED indicates a good network connection. The ACT LED gives infor

Getting Started 3 - Getting Started It is important to consider the following points before logging into and conÞguring the MPS: ¥ The MPS IP address must be conÞgured before any TCP/IP functionality is available. (See Setting the IP Address on page 4-2.) ¥ There are two important passwords on the MPS: the privileged password and the login password. Changing any server, service, or port setting requires privileged user status. The default privileged password is system. The log

Getting Started 3.1 EZWebCon Configuration The EZWebCon conÞguration software is the recommended way to conÞgure the MPS. EZWebCon is a graphical user interface that guides Þrst time users through the initial conÞguration process and allows experienced users to update and change any conÞgurable parameters. There are two important things to note about EZWebCon: ¥ Your Server must have an IP address before EZWebCon can log into it for conÞguration purposes. See Setting the IP Address o

Getting Started 3.2 Incoming Logins Incoming logins made via EZWebCon can be used to conÞgure the server. Incoming LAT and TCP/IP logins can also be used. Incoming Telnet is enabled by default to allow TCP/IP connections. To change this setting, use the DeÞne Server Incoming command described in the Command Reference chapter of the Print Server Reference Manual located on CD-ROM. Incoming logins do not prompt for a login password; therefore, you may wish to disable the

TCP/IP Configuration 4 - TCP/IP Configuration The EZWebCon conÞguration software is the easiest way to conÞgure the MPS. The following sections cover IP address conÞguration and print conÞguration methods for TCP/IP hosts. NOTE: The Server needs an IP address before you can use EZWebCon. See page 4-2 for instructions. The MPS provides two major methods of printing via TCP/IP: Berkeley remote LPR and RTEL host software. Neither Windows for Workgroups nor Windows 95 support LPR direc

TCP/IP Configuration 4.1 Setting the IP Address The MPS IP address must be conÞgured before any TCP/IP functionality is available. To set the IP address, use one of the following methods: EZWebCon; a directed Ping packet; a DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP reply; or commands entered at the command line (Local>) interface. 4.1.1 Using EZWebCon The MPS must have an IP address before you can log into it using EZWebCon. To assign the IP address from EZWebCon: 1. Start EZWebCon. Instructions for ins

EZWebCon will let you know whether the conÞgura- tion 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 MPS has no IP address, it will set its address from the Þrst directed IP packet it receives. NOTE: Th

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 deÞned other than its own. If the ARP table is empty, the command will return an error message. Type ARP -A at the DOS command prompt to verify that there is at least one entry in the ARP table. If there is no other entry beside the local machine, ping another IP machine on your network to build the ARP table. This has to be a host other than the machi

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 MPS request for an available IP address. For information about conÞguring the DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP server, see your host documentation. 4.1.4 Using the Command Line Interface 1. Connect to the serial port (Port 1) using a terminal emulation program. The serial settings should be 9600 baud, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity. 2. Become the privileged user an
