Chapter 7 contains print management and status monitoring for FastPort.
This chapter includes:
7.1 Managing Print Server
There are many methods to manage FastPort: remotely across the network
or by attaching a serial/parallel device. FastPort also has real-time status
tools to resolve errors that may occur with another device. FastPort can be
configured to generate messages as they occur and direct them to:
• Parallel port printer
• Serial port printer
• Dumb terminal
• Telnet session, nbmon
Information includes the start/finish of a print job, step-by-step boot
procedure, and why a printer failed.
7.2 Serial Port Console Monitoring
FastPort serial port can be used to configure the device while in a non-
networked mode.
7.2.1 Enabling or Disabling the Console Monitor
