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 the back of the MPS is compatible with the  
Hewlett-Packard Bitronics interface, which allows bi-directional communication on the  
parallel port.  
There are three MPS models which are the same except for the Ethernet interface used.  
The MPS1-T has an RJ45 port for 10BASE-T connections, the MPS1-2 has a BNC  
connector for 10BASE-2 connections, and the MPS100 can auto-negotiate between  
10BASE-T and 100BASE-T media connected to its RJ45 port. The features, installation  
process, and conÞguration procedures are the same.  
NOTE: In this manual, all MPS models will be referred to as Òthe MPSÓ or  
Òthe ServerÓ unless a distinction needs to be made between them.

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.  
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  
information about what the MPS is doing; for example, when code is being  
downloaded as the unit boots, the LED will blink green quickly.  
Allow 45 seconds for the unit to fully boot. The LINK LED will be lit if there is a  
valid connection to the network, and the ACT LED should blink.  
4. Print a Test page by pressing the Test/Reset button.  
NOTE: If the Test page does not print, refer to Appendix B, Troubleshooting.  
5. Install EZWebCon on your 32-bit Windows PC to conÞgure your Server. The  
EZWebCon software is located on the CD-ROM. See EZWebCon ConÞguration on  
page 3-2 for more information.

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 login password is required for remote console logins. The  
default login password is access.  
NOTE: If you would like to change either the privileged or login password,  
either use EZWebCon or refer to the Print Server Reference Manual  
located on the CD-ROM.

3.1 EZWebCon Configuration  
The EZWebCon conÞguration software is the recommended way to conÞgure the MPS.  
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 on page 4-2  
for instructions.  
¥ EZWebCon requires a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) on the client.  
Lantronix provides JVM installers for Solaris and 32-bit Windows  
users, as well as source code and instructions for compiling it for use  
on other systems.  
The EZWebCon software is located on the distribution CD-ROM. All instructions for  
installing EZWebCon are provided in the README Þle. For assistance once EZWebCon  
is running, refer to the EZWebCon on-line help.  
NOTE: EZWebCon is also available from the Lantronix FTP and BBS servers.  
See Appendix D for more information about logging into the FTP and  
BBS servers.

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  
them. If it is undesirable to disable incoming logins, the Server can be conÞgured to  
prompt for a password with the DeÞne Server Incoming Password Enabled command.  
3.3 Services  
With few exceptions, a service must be created before print queues can be conÞgured on  
the MPS. A service is a resource accessible to network hosts. A Lantronix service is also  
known as a remote printer name or remote queue name on many operating systems.  
The following 3 default services are available once the Server has booted:  
MPS_xxxxxx_TEXT  
MPS_xxxxxx_PCL  
MPS_xxxxxx_PS  
Used for text print jobs  
Used for binary print jobs, such as plotter or PCL Þles  
Used for PostScript print jobs  
3 - 3  
 
             
Getting Started  
If you need to modify a default service, see the Server ConÞguration chapter of the Print  
Server Reference Manual located on the CD-ROM. Be sure to reboot after conÞguring  
services so that the changes take effect.

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 directly; however, there  
are third party solutions available. For more information about recommended peer-to-  
peer printing solutions, see the Lantronix Windows 95 FAQ on the CD-ROM or the  
Lantronix web site.  
4 - 1  
 
       
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 installing, running, and using EZWebCon can be  
found on the distribution CD-ROM.  
2. Click on the Lantronix logo menu in the bottom left corner of the EZWebCon win-  
dow, then select Assign IP Address to Server.  
3. Fill in the following information:  
A. The last three bytes of the MPSÕs hardware address. The hardware address  
is printed on the bottom of the Server.  
B. The desired IP address.  
4 - 2  
 
     
TCP/IP Configuration  
C. The subnet, if you wish to use a subnet other than the default.  
D. The IP address of the TFTP server you wish to use, if desired.  
4. Click OK.  
5. Cycle power on the server. 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: The ARP/ping method only works during the first two minutes of  
MPS operation. After two minutes, an alternate method must be used  
or the MPS must be rebooted.  
On a UNIX host, create an entry in the hostÕs ARP table and substitute the intended IP  
address and the hardware address of the server, then ping the server. This process  
typically requires superuser privileges.  
# arp -s 192.0.1.228 00:80:a3:xx:xx:xx  
% ping 192.0.1.228  
4 - 3  
 
     
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 -Aat 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 machine that you're  
working on. Once there is at least one entry in the ARP table, use the following  
commands to ARP the IP address to the MPS and make the MPS acknowledge the IP  
assignment.  
C:\ ARP -S 192.0.1.228 00-80-A3-XX-XX-XX  
C:\ PING 192.0.1.228  
NOTE: There should be replies from the IP address if the ARP command  
worked.  
When the MPS receives the ping packet, it will notice that its IP address is not set and  
will send out broadcasts to see if another node is using the speciÞed address. If no  
duplicate is found, the server will use the IP address and will respond to the ping packet.  
The MPS will not save the learned IP address permanently; this procedure is intended as  
a temporary measure to enable EZWebCon to communicate with the server, or allow an

TCP/IP Configuration  
administrator to Telnet into the MPS. Once logged in, the administrator can enter the  
Change IPaddress command to make the address permanent.  
% telnet 192.0.1.228  
Trying 192.0.1.228  
Lantronix Version n.n/n (yymmdd)  
Type Help at the ‘Local_>’ prompt for assistance.  
Enter Username> gopher  
Local> SET PRIVILEGED  
Password> system (not echoed)  
Local>> DEFINE IPADDRESS 192.0.1.228  
Any host wishing to access the MPS will have to be told the MPSÕs IP address. This is  
typically conÞgured in the unix Þle /etc/hosts or via a nameserver. Refer to the hostÕs  
documentation for additional information.  
4 - 5  
 
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 and enter the new IP address.  
Local> SET PRIVILEGED  
Password> system (not echoed)  
Local>> DEFINE SERVER IPADDRESS 192.0.1.201

TCP/IP Configuration  
4.2 Notes About LPR  
There are four important things to note about the LPR printing method:  
1. 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 MPS  
will print a banner page at the end of a job, and cannot support most of the LPR  
options. If it is necessary to have the banner page at the beginning of the printout,  
install and use the RTEL software. If banners are not needed, they can be disabled.  
2. The MPS cannot print multiple copies of the print job when using the Ò-#nÓ lpr  
option.  
3. If two print queues on the host refer to two services on the same MPS, they must  
use separate spooling directories.  
4. No special purpose input or output Þlters can be used when printing via LPR. If  
this functionality is necessary, use the named pipe interface program in the RTEL  
print queue conÞguration software.

4.4 LPR on UNIX Hosts  
The Berkeley remote printing system is supported on many machines, and is simple to  
conÞgure.  
This section describes how to conÞgure LPR print queues on generic UNIX hosts such as  
SUN hosts. There are slight variations in LPR conÞguration for AIX, HP, and SCO hosts,  
as will be explained in the following sections.  
1. Install a print queue on your host by adding the MPS name and IP address to the  
/etc/hosts Þle:  
192.0.1.83  
MPS_xxxxxx  
2. Add the host print queue to the /etc/printcap Þle:  
mps_prt|Printer on LAB MPS:\  
:rm=MPS_xxxxxx:\  
:rp=MPS_xxxxxx_TEXT:\  
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/mps_prt:  
The punctuation shown is required, and no extra spaces should be added.  
4 - 15  
 
   
TCP/IP Configuration  
This will create a host queue named mps_prt. The rm parameter is the name of the  
MPS in the host's address file, the rp parameter is the name of the service as it exists  
on the MPS, and the sd parameter specifies the name of a directory used to hold  
temporary spooling files.  
3. Create a world-writable spooling directory using the mkdir command.  
# mkdir /usr/spool/lpd/mps_prt  
# chmod 777 /usr/spool/lpd/mps_prt  
4. If desired, use the mx option to allow unlimited size Þles to be printed and the sh  
option to prevent header pages from being generated. See the host's documenta-  
tion or man pages for more information on the format of the printcap Þle and how  
to create the spool directory.  
5. Print to the queue using normal lpr commands:  
% lpr -Pmps_prt /etc/hosts  
4 - 16  
 
   
TCP/IP Configuration  
4.4.1 LPR on AIX Hosts  
LPR has only been tested on AIX versions 3.2 and higher. The System Management  
Interface Tool (SMIT) allows you to enable LPD printing and create print queues.  
To create a print queue:  
1. At the host prompt type smit.  
2. Choose Print Spooling.  
3. Choose Manage Print Server and Start the Print Server Subsystem (lpd  
daemon).  
4. In the Start the Print Server Subsystem dialog box, type both in the Þrst Þeld.  
The message ÒThe lpd subsystem has been startedÓ will appear. Click Done.  
To add a print queue:  
1. From the main window choose Print Spooling.  
2. Choose Manage Print Server and Manage Print Queues.  
3. Choose Add a print queue.  
4. From the dialog box that appears choose remote.  
4 - 17

NOTE: If you are unable to use SMIT, see the Print Server Reference Manual  
for UNIX commands for setting up print queues.  
7. Print to the queue using normal lp syntax.  
% lp -dmps_prt filename  
4 - 18  
 
TCP/IP Configuration  
4.4.2 LPR on HP Hosts  
The System Administration Manager (SAM) allows you to create print queues.  
NOTE: If you are unable to use SAM, the Print Server Reference Manual  
located on the CD-ROM described UNIX commands that can be used  
to set up print queues.  
To create a print queue:  
1. At the HP prompt type sam.  
2. From the main application window choose Printers and Plotters.  
3. Choose Printers/Plotters from the Printers and Plotters window.  
4. In the pull-down menu select Remote Printer/Plotter from the Actions menu.  
5. The Add Remote Printer window will appear. SAM will prompt you for:  
Ð
Ð
Ð
Ð
Ð
The printer name (the name of the print queue),  
The remote system name (the MPS name),  
The remote printer name (the MPS service),  
The remote cancel model, and  
The remote status model.  
4 - 19  
 
   
TCP/IP Configuration  
NOTE: Printer names on HP hosts are limited to 13 characters. The MPS text  
service name will be too long, so you will have to rename the Server.  
4.4.3 LPR on SCO UNIX Hosts  
LPR is supported in SCO V3.2 release 4 with TCP/IP Version 1.2 and greater.  
To conÞgure a print queue using LPR:  
1. Issue the mkdev rlp command. This will install the Berkeley remote printing Þles  
and executable programs.  
NOTE: The mkdev rlp command should only be issued once, or serious problems  
will occur. If this happens, contact SCO technical support.  
You can print to this queue using normal lp syntax once the remote printer is set  
up.  
To create a remote printer:  
1. Issue the rlpconf command.  
2. Answer the questions that follow. See the Þgure on the next page for more  
information.

TCP/IP Configuration  
4.5 RTEL Functionality  
If the LPR method of printing is not adequate for an application (for example, if you  
need banners before jobs, or more ßexibility), conÞgure the Lantronix-supplied RTEL  
software on the host. After installing the software conÞguring the connections to the  
MPS, you can use normal UNIX print commands and queue utilities such as lpc and  
lpstat.  
NOTE: RTEL binaries are provided for many systems. Source code is also pro-  
vided for use on non-supported systems.  
To print to the MPS using special formatting or using third-party software packages,  
you may have to create Òprint pipesÓ on the host. The RTEL software provides this  
functionality by providing a UNIX named-pipe interface.  
To recreate the RTEL source Þles:  
1. Copy the Þle RTEL_SRC.TAR from the distribution CD-ROM to the UNIX host.  
Ensure that a binary copy is performed.  
2. Untar the archive.  
3. See the README Þles in the created directories that describe the contents of the  
RTEL distribution and man pages that describe the actual software functionality.

The EZWebCon conÞguration software is the easiest way to conÞgure the MPS. The  
following sections cover print conÞguration methods for NetWare hosts.  
NOTE: The Server needs an IP address before you can use EZWebCon. See  
the Setting the IP Address section on page 4-2 for instructions.  
This chapter explains creating NDS print queues with NetWare Administrator and with  
the PCONSOLE Quick Setup option. To create NDS print queues, you must be running  
NetWare version 4.x with NDS capabilities.  
If you are running NetWare versions 2.x, 3.x, or version 4.x with bindery emulation, you  
may conÞgure bindery print queues using QINST (bindery only) or PCONSOLE. For  
more information, see the NetWare chapter of the Print Server Reference Manual, located  
on CD-ROM.

LAT Configuration  
6 - LAT Configuration  
The EZWebCon conÞguration software is the easiest way to conÞgure the MPS. The  
following sections cover print conÞguration methods for LAT hosts.  
NOTE: The Server needs an IP address before you can use EZWebCon. See  
the Setting the IP Address section on page 4-2 for instructions.  
LAT print queues can be created by printing to a port or printing to a service. Printing  
directly to a port requires no MPS conÞguration.  
NOTE: Printing directly to a port is the easiest method for printing to the  
MPS. If you would like instructions for printing to a service, see the  
Print Server Reference Manual on the CD-ROM.  
6.1 Printing Directly to a Port  
1. Create a LAT application port that references the Server port.  
$ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:LATCP  
LATCP> CREATE PORT LTAnnn/APPLICATION  
LATCP> SET PORT LTAnnn/NODE=MPS_xxxxxx/PORT=Port_n

3. Add the commands to the SYS$MANAGER:LAT$STARTUP.COM Þle so the  
required LAT devices will be recreated after each host reboot.  
NOTE: LAT terminal device characteristics may have to be changed to correctly  
print certain files. See your VMS documentation for more information.

AppleTalk Configuration  
7 - AppleTalk Configuration  
The EZWebCon conÞguration software is the easiest way to conÞgure the MPS. The  
following sections cover print conÞguration methods for AppleTalk hosts.  
NOTE: The Server needs an IP address before you can use EZWebCon. See  
the Setting the IP Address section on page 4-2 for instructions.  
NOTE: Macintoshes that do not support EtherTalk will need either an Ether-  
net card or a LocalTalk-to-EtherTalk router to use the MPS.  
7.1 Bitronics  
The MPS advertises its printer as a LaserWriter. Therefore, printing from a Macintosh is  
only possible with a PostScript printer and bi-directional communication between the  
MPS and that printer.  
NOTE: MacOS 8.1 can also print via LPD. See the Print Server Reference Manual  
located on CD-ROM for configuration instructions.  
The MPS supports the Bitronics interface, an extension to the standard Centronics  
interface. Printers that support Bitronics allow bi-directional communication via the  
parallel port. To enable Bitronics on the MPS parallel port, use the DeÞne Port 1  
Bitronics Enabled command.  
7 - 1  
 
         
AppleTalk Configuration  
7.2 Macintosh Services  
Before attempting to print from a Macintosh, ensure that AppleTalk and PostScript are  
both enabled on at least one service. Once the service is conÞgured, it will appear in the  
Chooser in the same zone as the MPS. Select the service in the Chooser and complete the  
appropriate setup options. Then close the Chooser window and print a test page of text  
to the Macintosh service.  
7.3 AppleTalk Zones  
If there is a router on the network, the MPS will appear in the default zone speciÞed by  
the router. To change the default zone use the DeÞne Protocol AppleTalk Zone  
command.  
If the MPS is attached to a network without an AppleTalk router, all AppleTalk devices  
(including the MPS) will appear in the default zone in the Chooser.  
NOTE: If no router is present on the network, the MPS will not accept AppleTalk  
print jobs for 60 seconds after booting.

The EZWebCon conÞguration software is the easiest way to conÞgure the MPS. This  
chapter explains DLC conÞguration for Windows NT 4.x hosts. Windows 95 does not  
support DLC printing (see Chapter 4, TCP/IP ConÞguration, for more information).  
NOTE: The Server needs an IP address before you can use EZWebCon. See  
the Setting the IP Address section on page 4-2 for instructions.  
NOTE: Printing using an LPD client is the preferred method for sending  
print jobs to the MPS. To print using the TCP/IP protocol see the  
Using the Command Line Interface section on page 4-8.  
8.1 DLC Configuration  
8.1.1 Server Configuration  
To use the DLC protocol, you must have one service with the DLC characteristic enabled.  
Use the DeÞne Service servicename DLC Enabled command. The DLC characteristic  
may be associated with only one service on a given MPS.

Service characteristics  
Use the Show Service Local Characteristics command  
from the ServerÕs Local> prompt to see if the desired  
service is available and to verify that the appropriate  
protocols are enabled on the service.  
The IP address  
The IP address must be unique on the network. Many  
problems will occur when there are duplicate IP  
addresses on the network.  
Queue Status and Port counters  
Use the Monitor Queue command to ensure queue  
entries appear in the job list. If an entry does not appear,  
refer to the appropriate host section in this Appendix.  
Use the Monitor Port 1 Counters command to verify  
that the counter is incrementing with each job. If it is not,  
verify the connection between the Server and the printer.

B.6 PostScript Problems  
PostScript printers will silently abort jobs if they detect an error.  
Table B-6: PostScript Troubleshooting  
Area to Check  
Explanation  
The Server is communicating  
with the printer  
To test a PostScript printer use the Test Port 1 PostScript Count  
2. This command will send 2 pages of PostScript data out the  
parallel port. Watch the indicators on the printer to verify that  
the Server is communicating with the printer.  
If the printer is capable of bidirectional communication, use the  
Test Service MPS_xxxxxx_PS PostScript Count 5 command.  
This will transfer data both to and from the printer.  
Autoselection must be disabled and the printer must be  
conÞgured as a PostScript printer for this test to succeed.  
The printer is conÞgured to  
use 8-bit characters  
If special characters or bitmaps are not printing correctly, the  
printer may be incorrectly conÞgured to use 7-bit characters.  
Service Characteristics  
Issue the Show Service Characteristics command. If the service  
rating is zero, the parallel port is in use. Verify that the  
PostScript characteristic and appropriate protocols have been  
enabled on the service.  
B - 6  
 
Troubleshooting  
Table B-6: PostScript Troubleshooting, cont.  
Area to Check  
Explanation  
Port Counters  
If PostScript jobs appear to print but nothing comes out of the  
printer, verify the amount of data sent from the host. Issue the  
appropriate print command from the host system. After the job  
has completed, use the Show Port 1 Counters command.  
The bytes output value should be approximately 171 bytes  
greater than the size of the Þle on the host system. These  
numbers are only approximate, but will show that data is  
ßowing to the printer.  
B.6.1 Bitmap Graphics  
If Þles that contain embedded bitmap graphics print incorrectly, it is because the bitmaps  
are being sent as actual binary data and binary data cannot be printed via serial or  
parallel interfaces.  
Most major application packages have provisions to print using either Òbinary  
postscriptÓ (for printers connected to the network via LocalTalk) or Òhex postscriptÓ (for  
printers connected to the network via a serial port or parallel port). If your application  
does not have this provision, ask the application vendor for an upgrade version or  
ÒpatchÓ that will add the Òhex postscriptÓ function.

D.4 Reloading Software  
The Server stores software in Flash ROM to control the initialization process, operation,  
and command processing. The contents of Flash ROM can be updated by downloading a  
new version of the operational software via NetWare, TCP/IP, or MOP. Regardless of  
which protocol is used to update Flash ROM, the following points are important:  
¥ The Flash ROM software is contained in a Þle called MPS.SYS. The  
name should not be changed.  
¥ The download Þle should be world-readable on the host.  
¥ There is a sixteen character length limit for the path name.  
¥ There is a twelve character limit for the Þlename.  
D - 4  
 
 
Updating Software  
¥ DeÞne commands must be used because Set conÞgurations are  
cleared when the Server boots. Use the List Server Boot command  
to check settings before rebooting.  
Reload command to ensure that you are reloading the correct software file.  
D.4.1 Reloading Sequence  
If DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP is enabled on the Server, the Server will request assistance  
from a DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP server before starting the download attempts. The  
Server will then try TFTP, NetWare, and MOP booting, in that order, provided that it has  
enough information to try each download method.  
Downloading and rewriting the Flash ROM will take approximately two minutes from  
the time the Initialize command is issued. If the download Þle cannot be found or  
accessed, the Server can be rebooted with the code still in Flash ROM. As noted in  
Chapter 2, the OK/ACT LED will blink quickly while the Server is booting (and  
reloading code) and then slowly when it returns to normal operation.  
NOTE: If you experience problems reloading Flash ROM, refer to Troubleshooting  
Flash ROM Updates on page D-9.  
D - 5  
 
Updating Software  
D.4.2 NetWare  
The MPS.SYS Þle should be placed in the login directory on the NetWare Þle server. The  
Server cannot actually log into the Þle server (since it knows no username/password); it  
can only access Þles in the login directory itself. On the Server, specify the Þle server  
name, Þlename, and path.

Password> SYSTEM (not echoed)  
Local>> DEFINE SERVER NETWARE LOADHOST fileserver  
Local>> DEFINE SERVER SOFTWARE SYS:\LOGIN\ MPS.SYS  
Local>> INITIALIZE RELOAD  
D.4.3 TCP/IP  
Before the Server downloads the new software, it will send DHCP, BOOTP, and/or  
RARP queries (BOOTP and RARP queries are enabled by default). Next, the Server will  
attempt to download the MPS.SYS Þle using TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol).  
If a host provides DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP support, it can be used to set the Server's IP  
address (all) and loadhost information (BOOTP and RARP only). Add the Server's name,  
D - 6  
 
   
Updating Software  
IP address, hardware address, and download path and Þlename to the appropriate host  
Þle (usually /etc/bootptab).  
Some BOOTP and TFTP implementations require a speciÞc directory for the MPS.SYS  
Þle; in this case the path should not be speciÞed in the bootptab Þle and the Þle must be  
placed in that directory. See your hostÕs documentation for instructions on how to  
conÞgure the MPS.SYS Þle in the directory.  
If BOOTP cannot be used to conÞgure the Server's IP parameters, conÞgure them by  
hand using the following commands listed below.  
Local> SET PRIVILEGED  
Password> SYSTEM (not echoed)  
Local>> DEFINE SERVER IPADDRESS nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn  
Local>> DEFINE SERVER SOFTWARE “/tftpboot/ MPS.SYS”  
Local>> DEFINE SERVER LOADHOST nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn  
Local>> LIST SERVER BOOT  
Local>> INITIALIZE RELOAD  
NOTE: For instructions on how to log into the Server and enter these commands,  
refer to Chapter 6, TCP/IP Configuration.

Updating Software  
The path and Þlename are case-sensitive and must be enclosed by quotation marks.  
When attempting to boot across an IP router, you must conÞgure the router to proxy-  
ARP for the Server, or use the bootgateway feature. For more information, see Set/DeÞne  
Bootgateway in the Commands chapter of the Print Server Reference Manual on CD-ROM.  
D.4.4 MOP  
Copy the MPS.SYS Þle to the MOM$LOAD directory. The MPS.SYS Þlename is the only  
parameter that the Server needs to reload via MOP. Make sure the service characteristic  
is enabled on the host's Ethernet circuit, and then reload the server using the Initialize  
Reload command.  
NOTE: If an error message is displayed indicating an invalid record size on the  
VAX console, the MPS.SYS file was not transferred in binary mode.

Updating Software  
D.5 Troubleshooting Flash ROM Updates  
Many of the problems that occur when updating the Flash ROM can be solved by  
completing the following steps:  
Table D-1: Flash ROM Troubleshooting  
Protocol  
Area to Check  
NetWare  
Ensure the Þle is in the login directory. Since the Server cannot actu-  
ally log into the Þle server, it has very limited access to the server  
directories.  
TFTP  
Check the Þle and directory permissions.  
Ensure the loadhost name and address are speciÞed correctly and  
that their case matches that of the Þlenames on the host system.  
Ensure the Þle and pathnames are enclosed in quotes to preserve  
case.  
Ensure that TFTP is enabled on the host; several major UNIX ven-  
dors ship their systems with TFTP disabled by default.
