4. To configure a print server, double click on its name and enter the password

(ACCESS is the default password). A series of "index cards" will be displayed.
Each of these "cards" represents a protocol or other configurable item. Click
on the appropriate tab to configure the item.

WebXAdmin allows the user to configure the print server with a standard web
browser like Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. It can therefore be
used on any operating system that supports web browser capabilities. To use
WebXAdmin, you must first make sure that you have a web browser installed on
your computer and that you have configured an IP address in both the computer
and the print server (refer to the previous XAdmin section if you do not know how
to put an IP address in the print server). Also make sure that you have configured
your TCP/IP stack to communicate over the local area network (rather than via a
PPP dial-up connection).

To use WebXAdmin, start your web browser and enter the IP address of the print
server as the destination web site. Once you are connected, enter the password
(ACCESS is the default password) and select the protocol or other item that you
wish to configure. You will then be connected to the appropriate web page for
configuration of that item. You may use the normal browser buttons to move
forward and back through the web pages.

The print server supports a sophisticated command-line oriented console for
configuration and management. This console contains features that are not
available through XAdmin or WebXAdmin, including sophisticated diagnostic
capabilities. The XCD print server console can be accessed via TELNET, the
XCONFIG NetWare utility, and is also available through one of the web pages using
the WebXAdmin facility. The general configuration procedure is the same
regardless of which method is used.

In all cases, you will get a message like

C o n s o l e C o n n e c t e d

or

R e m o t e C o n s o l e

when you are connected. When you are connected, push RETURN or

ENTER to get the "

anything in response to the

prompt, you are ready to enter commands.
