3.3 Printing from NT using the HP DLC Protocol
With Windows NT, if the HP DLC protocol was installed through the
Control Panel, Networks , choose HP DLC printer from the “other
network device” dialog box.
A list of hardware (Ethernet or Token Ring) addresses for DLC compliant
devices appear. FastPort will show up in this list.
3.4 Printing from Windows using TFTP Client
As a final TCP/IP option, FastPort supports the TFTP protocol for printing
data or flash jobs. If the workstation has a TFTP client, open a session with
FastPort’s IP address, and
PUT a file from the station to FastPort. FastPort
will print jobs on its first parallel port (example for NT:tftp -i x.x.x.x
PUT flash.hex ).
3.5 Management Tools Used with NetBIOS and TCP/IP
This section focuses on network management utilities that are based on the
NetBIOS/NetBEUI and TCP/IP protocol.
3.5.1 FastManage
The FastPort print server supports configuration from the Digi’s
FastManage suite of software. With this software, FastPorts on a network
can be located and managed. See the Chapters 9 thru 11 for information on
how to use FastManage.
3.5.2 NetBIOS-DOS Tools: NBMON and showprn
FastPort devices also support configuration from DOS. Digi supplies two
DOS tools:
NBMON and showprn . They are included on the CD-ROM or can
be downloaded from our FTP site. To install these tools, copy them from
the CD-ROM to a local drive and run them (see Appendix I).
