Appendix C CONFIG File
This appendix provides information for editing a CONFIG file. CONFIG files are stored in the flash
EEPROM of the NETGEAR PS100 series Print Sever and used for configuring the device using the
FTP method. For more information about using the CONFIG file and to see an example of FTP
commands, refer to the table of FTP Commands"on chapter 5 Unix. Only the parameters related to
TCP/IP operation of the print server are listed.
For modification of the various NetWare IPX/SPX and NetBEUI settings, NETGEAR recommends
that you use the included NETGEAR Print Server Administration Program or the PSCONFIG program.
