Page 53: Using Unix
Chapter 5 Using UNIX The Ethernet Card supports many standard UNIX commands and can be configured from a host computer without using a special setup utility. Installing and Printing with the Ethernet Card See the following sections for general information concerning setting up (with TCP/IP) and printing. - Page 54 Unless the network is not yet in existence, however, an address will already have been given to the network section that the Ethernet Card is to be plugged into. In this case, the interface card should be given an address that has the same first three sets of numbers as the other devices on that network section, and be given a unique last (4th set) number different from that of any other device on that network section.
-
Page 55: Testing The Connection
Updating the Hosts file Once the IP address is defined, the /etc/hosts file needs to have this IP address and host name added. For example: 132.147.69.4 Allison Testing the connection Use ping to test if the Ethernet Card is responding. For example, send the following command: PING Allison PING 132.147.69.4... -
Page 56: Printcap File
After entering the card as a valid network device, it is necessary to set up the remote printer details. Here, the lpr protocol program is given the name of a remote printer, and a host name on which it resides. It is looking for three names to link together: The name of the local printer which will now be redirected to the Ethernet Card. -
Page 57: Operation
Operation After setting up the card, you can use the lpr command from any host to direct a print file to the Ethernet Card. The card does not have to interpret any of the incoming print data, allowing binary image files, font download files, as well as ASCII text to be printed transparently. - Page 58 Technical For programmers’ information, the Ethernet Card TCP/IP mode responds only to arp packets and to TCP/IP connections made to socket number 0x0203 and the ftp socket. You must use lpr protocol to send data to socket 0x0203. Also, connection attempts to other sockets will meet with no response.
- Page 59 ftp (Form feed) The Ethernet Card will append a form feed to the end of the print job if the destination file is given the name of “FEED” or “feed.” For example, to send a text file called “txtfile” to the Ethernet Card in ASCII mode and append a formfeed, use the following ftp commands: ascii...
- Page 60 The remote printer name options used to invoke the different filters are as follows: Binary files (no filters) ASCII files (carriage returns at line ends) 1pbf Binary file with form feed at file end 1paf ASCII file with form feed at file end All other remote printer name options will be treated the same as lpb.

Script 2 intercepts the print command and runs another printer interface script, in this case the printer “standard” using the same options ($@) to redirect the output to a temporary file. The script then opens an ftp session with the printer, sets binary mode and sends the temporary file to the printer. - Page 64 4. When you see a screen similar to the one below, fill in the data as required.
