WebAdmin (For NT Server/TCP/IP)

Transcription

1 WebAdmin (For NT Server/TCP/IP) This Document explains how to install and use the WebAdmin utility. Introduction The WebAdmin Management program is provided for LANs which are using Window NT Server. The advantage of this program is that once it is installed on the Server, any workstation can be used to configure and manage the IOPRINT+ Print Server. WebAdmin must be installed on a supported WEB server, and a compatible WEB browser used run the WebAdmin program. System Requirements Server Operating Systems Microsoft Windows NT 3.51 and 4.0. (Workstation and Advanced Server) Intel or Intel- Compatible processors LAN Protocol TCP/IP Web Servers Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) 1.0 and 2.0 Internet Browsers Microsoft Internet Explorer 2.0, 3.0 and above. NetScape Navigator 2.0, 3.0 & above. Server Installation 1. Run the SETUP program in the utils\webadmin directory on the CD-ROM. 2. Follow the on-screen instructions. 3. By default, the installation program files will be installed to the following CGI directory: 4. C:\Program Files\PrintServer\WebAdmin 5. The alias webadmin for the CGI directory will be created and added to the system registry. If you wish to change the alias of the CGI directory, the procedure is as follows: Choose: Start Programs MicroSoft Internet Server(Common) Internet Service Manager Click the computer which has the service: WWW to display service content. Click the Directory option to display directory content. Select the Alias field, and type the name you want. Check the access rights and ensure the directory is both readable and executable, then click OK. Page 1

2 Running the Program From any workstation which has access to the NT Server on which WebAdmin was installed: Start your WEB browser. In the Address box, type either the IP address or the domain name of the Server running the WebAdmin program, followed by the string:?application/x-msdownload Example: You should then see a screen like the following example. Figure 1 WebAdmin Home Screen Home Button Clicking on the Home button from any other screen will return you the Home screen shown above. Browse Button The Browse button will generate a list of IOPRINT+ Print Servers as shown in the following example. Figure 2 WebAdmin Listing To configure the selected IOPRINT+ Print Server, click on it. This will generate a screen like the following. Page 2

3 Figure 3 WebAdmin Selected Device These options allows you to check the status of connected printers or IOPRINT+ Print Servers. Device Information A list of the current device settings will be displayed. Printer Port Status / Serial Port Status Click the button for any port to check the status of the attached printer, as shown by the sample screen below. Figure 4 WebAdmin Port Status If the printer is bi-directional and is not busy, it can be configured by clicking the Configuration button. Page 3

4 These options allow you to configure the current IOPRINT+ Print Server. System NetWare TCP/IP AppleTalk NetBEUI Serial Port Logical Port SNMP These options allow you to: Change the device name Set the LAN protocol(s) used by the current IOPRINT+ Print Server. By default, all protocols are enabled. This allows operation in any environment, but degrades performance. You should disable any LAN protocols which are not used in your environment. Change the Connected Protocol - the LAN protocol used for communication between the program and the current IOPRINT+ Print Server. Configure NetWare with this icon. See the NetWare document for configuration details. Use Settings -IP Addresses to initially assign an IP address, and this button for any subsequent changes. See Unix TCP/IP or Window NT Server (TCP/IP) for details. See the AppleTalk document for details of these configuration settings. Allows NetBEUI changes to be made. Options are as follows: Domain name - Enter the designated work group to be serviced by the IOPRINT+ Print Server. Using only UPPER CASE is recommended, because the IOPRINT+ Print Server is not case sensitive, and will ignore case. Response Time - Sets how fast jobs are sent to the printer. The default value of zero (0) delay should be increased only if your printer cannot cope with no delay. Abort Job As Paper Out - YES will terminate the current print job when a printing error is encountered. NO (default) will try to continue but may cause print errors. If errors occur, try setting this value to YES. Configure the serial port if one is fitted. Check your serial printer to see what settings should be used. Configure Logical Ports (Printers). See NetWare or Unix for details of Logical Printers. See the SNMP document for details of the settings available from this button. Page 4

5 This column of buttons allows you to perform tasks which are seldom required. Reset Device Restore Factory Defaults Print Test Page Use this option to reset the IOPRINT+ Print Server. This is equivalent to a power off and on. Resetting should be done after changing the configuration, or if the device ceases responding after a LAN or printer problem. Select this option to return all parameters to their factory default settings. Use this option to print a test sheet from the selected IOPRINT+ Print Server port. The test page will contain status information. Settings Button The Settings button on the top of the screen will reveal the Setup Options screen: Set IP Address Figure 5 WebAdmin Setup Options Screen Configure the IP Address and related information. You need to know the device s default name. If no IP Address has been assigned, you must set an IP address to the IOPRINT+ Print Server before doing anything else. Attach Remote Connect to a IOPRINT+ Print Server on another network segment. Connected Protocol Change the protocol used for communication between the program and the current device. Page 5
