USING THE M208’S COMMAND SET: Overview 93
USING THE M208’S COMMAND SET
Overview
At this point in the manual, you should have your M208 installed and configured on
the network and at least one host configured to print to it. This section’s purpose is to
give you the basic tools to add to your print setup by introducing the Print Server’s
command set.
npsh Overview
On the Print Server itself, is an entire command set, npsh, allowing for M208 parame-
ter configuration, display, and execution. These commands can be utilized through one
of these methods:
• a Telnet session,
• a remote command (i.e. rsh/rcmd/remsh),
• npconfig (please see npconfig Detailed Configuration Options Sub-Menu on page
33),
• DOS host software (please see Host Software on page 63),
• a terminal on the COM1 port (please see Manual Configuration Through the
COM Port on page 40).
The M208 can support up to 256 simultaneous TCP connections and 10 simultaneous
Telnet sessions. All npsh commands except lp are available to all of the above meth-
ods. The lp command is available only to rsh/rcmd/remsh clients. Please refer to lp
on page 102.
The M208 can be configured, managed and monitored using the included Graphical
User Interface (GUI) software. Please see USING NPWIN on page 127 for more
details.
The M208’s parameters can also be manipulated through the FTP daemon and through
SNMP. Please see FTP Daemon on page 146 and Managing With SNMP on page 141
for more details.
