NTI RACK MOUNT CONSOLE TERMINAL WITH CONSOLE SWITCH  
INTRODUCTION  
The SERIMUX-TERM-CS-x (x=8 or 16) combines a 8 or 16 port Console Switch (SERIMUX) and a VT100/ANSI Terminal  
Converter (TERMINAL) in a single package controlled by a PS/2 keyboard and VGA monitor. The Console Switch uses menu-  
driven integrated software. The SERIMUX-TERM-CS-16 can control of up to 16 serial devices including servers, switches,  
routers, and telecom gear. Additional control methods include front panel keypad, LAN or dial-up modem connections. It enables  
unlimited access to remote network management, providing optimum system performance and availability.  
Terminal Converter  
The Terminal Converter (TERMINAL) is easy to install and configure for either of the following communication modes:  
¾
¾
RS232 Terminal (using an RS-232 port for serial console connection). Use this configuration of the Console Terminal with  
the Console Switch to control multiple servers.  
Telnet Terminal (using an RJ45 10/100 Base-T network port for Ethernet telnet console connection). The Ethernet  
connection can be used with any 10/100Mbps-compatible Ethernet host adapter, but is most suited for use with SUN RSC  
(Remote System Control) Ethernet ports, since these provide the same functionality as serial (ttya) console ports. This  
connection supports up to 12 telnet sessions to different servers. The state of each server session is preserved by the  
terminal. Terminal sessions can be switched via hot-keys. When using the Ethernet telnet connection, the Terminal Drawer  
can be connected to multiple servers via an Ethernet switch. However, it is advisable that the network used to connect the  
server consoles remains private for security reasons.  
Note: Both RS232 serial and Ethernet telnet connections cannot be active at the same time.  
The TERMINAL is a general purpose character terminal converter offering full transaction capabilities and is largely pre-configured  
for most applications. It was designed in conjunction with SUN Microsystems to ensure flawless compatibility with all SUN servers.

NTI RACK MOUNT CONSOLE TERMINAL WITH CONSOLE SWITCH  
Console Switch  
The Console Switch (SERIMUX) includes a text-based menu for easy connection management for administrators. Using a  
terminal emulator the menu provides a quick means for user serial connection changes and device control.  
The Console Switch (SERIMUX) is a serial port router that allows links (or connections) between multiple pairs of RS-232  
asynchronous serial ports. The main purpose of the switch is to enable users to manage several serial devices from local or  
remote locations (using external modems). Devices include routers, DSU's, servers, switches or any other equipment allowing  
serial operation using RS232 interface. Users can work locally (using the integral TERMINAL) or from remote locations.  
Each SERIMUX port has to be configured for serial communication (baud rate, parity, etc) within the specifications of the attached  
serial device, but the configurations of the two devices linked by the SERIMUX do not need to match. Various parameters  
(communication speed, hardware and/or software flow control, timeout, etc) can be selected for each SERIMUX port. Devices  
may be either locally connected or connected through attached modems.  
Each SERIMUX port can be configured as either a host or user port. Serial hosts (such as servers, switches etc.) are connected to  
host ports, while serial user devices (such as a terminal or serial console) are connected to user ports.  
The SERIMUX Console Switch supports two operator levels: user and administrator. Users login at user ports and connect to  
serial devices attached at host ports. The administrator (logged in at any user port) and users with administrative privileges can  
connect to serial devices attached to host ports and see and/or modify various port or user parameters.  
Features  
The SERIMUX provides secure, flexible management of servers, routers, switches, and other networked devices. Key features  
include:  
•
•
•
Eliminates the need to connect each device to an ASCII terminal or PC  
Connect up to 16 devices with different baud rates, parity, and character length.  
Provides out-of-band access to network devices (servers, routers, network switches, and any other network devices  
allowing console operation using RS232)  
•
•
•
•
No inadvertent "break" signals are generated to cause unintentional rebooting of SUN computers  
Two operator levels (administrator and user)  
Switching is simplified with programmable device names and menu-driven device selection  
Built-in data buffers save the most recent RS232 console output from each connected device, which simplifies  
troubleshooting failures  
•
•
•
•
The SERIMUX can be power cycled without halting a SUN host computer  
Gain access to servers without interrupting service to end-users; maintain optimal up-time  
Manage server farms or data centers via serial ports and standard external modems  
Connects to console serial ports using standard CAT5/5e/6 cables and cable adapters.  
o
Maximum cable length is 100 feet.

2. GETTING STARTED  
Introduction  
This chapter covers basic configuration topics. Included is information on setting up the TERMINAL to control the SERIMUX.  
1. Using the instruction under “Setup The TERMINAL” below (or more detailed instruction on page 37), setup the TERMINAL to  
make connection to the SERIMUX. Configure the terminal as follows:  
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Ethernet Mode set to OFF (F4 menu)  
Baud rate at 9600 bps (F4 menu)  
8 bits (F4 menu)  
no parity (F4 menu)  
1 stop bit (F4 menu)  
no flow control (F4 menu)  
ANSI or VT100 terminal mode (F2 menu).  
Within the SERIMUX firmware, the "CONSOLE" port is the internal connection between the TERMINAL and the  
SERIMUX. For consistency, when Port 0 is mentioned within this manual, it refers to the connection made by the  
TERMINAL.  
2.1 Setup The TERMINAL  
To control the SERIMUX some initial settings must be configured in the TERMINAL.  
2.1.1 Entering TERMINAL Setup  
Hold down the [ ALT] key and press the [ Esc] key to enter Setup mode. When entering Setup, any text on the screen temporarily  
disappears, and the main SETUP directory appears (See Figure 6). When leaving the Setup mode, the main SETUP directory  
disappears, and any text that was on the screen will reappear.  
2.1.2 Setup Directory  
The fields at the bottom of the screen show the various setup menus where the terminal's operating parameters can be changed  
and the function key to press to immediately display any menu.  
Figure 6- Fields in the Setup menu display which function keys to press for submenus  
2.1.3 Changing The TERMINAL Operating Parameters  
To select one of the setup menus shown, press the indicated function key.  
- The screen for that menu appears with the name highlighted.  
- The fields at the middle of the screen indicate the parameters that can be changed in that menu.  
- The top line identifies the keys to press to highlight the parameter fields and change the settings.  
The procedure is: (1) Use arrow key to highlight the parameter field to be changed.  
(2) Use the Spacebar to change the parameter.  
Pressing [F12> always returns the user to the top menu.

2.1.4 Saving and Exiting Setup  
The first menu seen when entering Setup serves as a directory to the other Setup menus. To exit Setup or any submenu, press  
[ F12]. Pressing [ F12] will return the display to the main Setup directory and with another press of [ F12] the user will exit  
Setup.  
The highlighted field at the right of the screen gives the user the choice of saving or not saving parameter changes into  
memory before returning the TERMINAL to the normal operating mode. Settings changed will effect the operating environment  
until the TERMINAL is powered-down. Setting changes will only be restored at power-up if they are saved before exiting Setup.  
Note: If settings are not saved before exiting Setup, any new selections will be lost when the SERIMUX is powered-  
down.  
To save Setup selections, depress the Spacebar to change the save field at the right side of the screen from NO to YES before  
exiting Setup. (Table 1 describes your options for exiting Setup.)  
Press [ F12] to leave Setup and return to the normal display mode.

To its normal operating mode.  
Restores all setting (operating parameters, tabs, key definitions, and answerback message) to their factory  
default values.  
Shift + Esc  
For changes to the TERMINAL settings to take effect, the RACKMUX must be power cycled. Disconnect power from the AC  
adapter and reconnect.  
2.2 Connect to the SERIMUX  
1. Press [ Enter] on the keyboard to be recognized as the default SERIMUX user. The "Accessible host list" for "User01",  
logged in at "Port00" will be displayed (see Figure 7). By default, all ports are configured as Host ports and all are accessible.  
Note: If the user menu does not display, re-initialize the SERIMUX following the "Reset SERIMUX Console Switch to  
default settings" instructions on page 36.

3. USING THE SERIMUX CONSOLE SWITCH  
The SERIMUX-TERM-CS-16 is controlled using  
•
•
Terminal Control- using a connected keyboard, VGA Monitor and the built-in TERMINAL  
Serial Control- from a "dumb" terminal- locally-connected  
- through an external modem from a remote location  
•
Keypad Control (reduced set of commands)  
Terminal Control  
The TERMINAL built-in to the SERIMUX-TERM-CS-16 can quickly provide access to the Console Switch (see page 8).  
Serial Control  
The SERIMUX Console Switch can be easily configured using serial communications from either a locally-connected “dumb”  
terminal or from a terminal remotely connected through a modem. Using a keyboard-controlled menu, the user can modify  
various parameters and options for each port. The administrator menu can be accessed by the administrator for full feature  
control, or the user menu, by any user, for more restricted control of port connections.  
Keypad Control  
The keypad has direct control over basic SERIMUX functions. The keypad can be used to make changes to port connections  
regardless of any menu control taking place. Command LEDs on the front panel of the SERIMUX Console Switch indicate the  
status of the switch and what function is being performed. For more on Keypad Control, see page 33.  
Note: The keypad will only work after first entering the assigned PIN number. See page 33 for more info.  
The default keypad PIN number is 9999.  
The SERIMUX can be easily configured using the TERMINAL with a keyboard-controlled menu to modify various parameters and  
options for each port to be connected to a device. The administrator menu can be accessed by the administrator for full feature  
control, or the user menu, by any user, for more restricted control of port connections.  
The SERIMUX supports 2 operator levels, administrator and user, each with separate password protection for security.  
•
The administrator logs in using an administrator password (see next page for login procedure)  
administrator name : [root] (all lowercase letters)  
administrator password : [nti] (all lowercase letters)  
•
Users login using a password set by the administrator  
The administrator name cannot be  
changed.  
FYI: Users may be granted administrative access rights by the administrator.  
To change the administrator  
password, see page 23.  
The administrator and any user with administrative rights is able to:

NTI RACK MOUNT CONSOLE TERMINAL WITH CONSOLE SWITCH  
FYI: RE: DscTime ( Disconnect Time)  
The value shown in the Port list is derived from various sources depending on the type of connection active at the time.  
- If a user is logged into a port as just a user, the time shown will be the remaining time based on the user's  
timeout setting.  
- If a user is logged in with administrative privileges and performing administrative tasks, the time will be based  
on the administrator's timeout setting, not based on the user's timeout setting.  
- If two ports are connected to each other, and one port has a lower timeout setting than the other, the lower  
setting will be shown in the DscTime column and control the connection.

3.1.3.1.6 Xon or Xoff Characters  
Any non-printable character (ASCII codes between 0 and 31) can be used as flow control Xon or Xoff character. The software flow  
control is transparent, so the special character is not passed to the connected device. If the Xon and Xoff characters are equal, a  
toggle mode is automatically used in the software flow control: whenever the special flow control character is received, the current  
state of flow control is toggled.  
To change the Xon or Xoff character;

– then [0] for Xoff or [1] for Xon,  
– enter the new value,  
– then press [Enter] to save it, [Esc] or [Space] to cancel.  
FYI: Press [T] after [6] to display a control codes table.  
3.1.3.1.7 DTR line behavior  
If a modem is not attached to the serial port, the DTR port line behavior on port disconnection can be selected as follows: the DTR  
line can be held high (active), low (inactive) or pulsed for 0.5 seconds and then held high. When a modem is attached to the port,  
the DTR line will be pulsed on port disconnection, disregarding this parameter value.  
To modify the DTR line behavior on port disconnection;  
– press [8],  
– then [H] or [L] or [P] respectively.  
3.1.3.1.8 Inter-character delay  
An inter-character delay (1 - 60 ms) may be defined, each time a character sequence is transmitted from the port. Using this  
command, a minimum pause will appear between transmitted characters; for example, certain types of electro-mechanical devices  
(like teletype equipment) cannot process received characters continuously at their specified baud rate.  
To select an inter-character delay;  
– press [8],  
– enter the new value (0 for no delay),  
– and press [Enter] to save it, [Esc] or [Space] to cancel.  
FYI: This parameter is not available for port 0.  
3.1.3.1.9 Line-break receive or transmit  
It is possible to accept the line-break received from a port, and to send it from the connected port. The break condition (when  
received) is defined as zero data with zero parity and no stop bits.  
To allow or not the line-break receive;  
– press [9],  
– then [Y] for allowed,  
– [Esc] or [Space] to cancel, any other character to deny.  
To define the transmitted line-break extra-duration (this is added to the 1-character transmission time);  
– press [0],  
– then enter the new value (1 - 999 ms) or 0 to disable it,  
– and press [Enter] to save it, [Esc] or [Space] to cancel.  
FYI: These parameters are not available for port 0.

3.1.6.1 Change administrator password  
For security purposes the administrator should change the factory default administrator password to a unique password. This will  
prevent unauthorized access to switch functions and CPUs. The password is needed to log in from any device, connected to any  
SERIMUX port in buffer mode.  
To change the administrator password, from the Administrator main menu;  
- press [7] to choose Advanced settings and press [Enter]. The Advanced settings menu will appear (Figure 18)  
- press [1] and a prompt for the old password will appear  
- enter the old password (factory default password is "nti") and press [Enter]  
- enter a new password (maximum 31 ASCII characters), using the [Backspace] key to erase any characters entered  
in error, and press [Enter]  
- re-enter the password to confirm it, and press [Enter]  
- a message "OK" will appear, press any key to return to the Advanced settings menu  
Note: The password entered will be case sensitive so be sure to note what characters are used and what case they are in  
if any are alphabetical. The password characters are displayed as ‘*’ (asterisk) characters while entering them.  
Note: If the administrator password is not known, the administrator must re-initialize the SERIMUX following the "Reset  
SERIMUX Console Switch to default settings" instructions on page 30.

3.2. User Controls  
Users can connect only to accessible ports as defined by the administrator. A list of those ports will be displayed with a  
successful login. Connection can be made using the TERMINAL, or a serial terminal with an emulator (e.g. Windows  
HyperTerminal) connected to the SERIMUX at an allowed user port  
To login, press the [Spacebar] or [Enter] key. Users can login by entering a valid name and password, assigned by the  
administrator. When prompted for a "User name:", type the administrator assigned user name and press [Enter]. When  
prompted for the "Password:", type the administrator assigned password and press [Enter].  
Note: User names and passwords are case sensitive. It is important to know what characters must be capitalized and  
what characters must not.  
FYI: The administrator may select a user that will automatically login at power up (User 1 is setup by default). In this  
case, neither name nor password will be required, just press [Spacebar] or [Enter] after powering ON the TERMINAL or  
opening the connected terminal emulator.  
After login, the user may connect to an allowed host port, or view host status and parameters. The user is unable to modify port  
parameters unless the user has been granted administrative privileges.  
3.2.1 User "Accessible host list" screen  
After successful login, the "Accessible host list" will be displayed. The administrator may choose another initial screen to be  
displayed, following user's preferences. The Accessible host list includes:  
•
•
•
user index number and name  
index number and name of the login port  
index numbers and names of accessible hosts

3.2.4 User Terse mode  
This mode is especially useful when the SERIMUX is directly controlled by external software from a serial console (as a user  
without administrative privileges), rather than being controlled by a user from a keyboard interface.  
Entering short command strings performs functions similar to the user main menu commands. A [CR] – [LF] sequence ends every  
string. The commands are not echoed; the SERIMUX returns to the serial console a specific answer if the command is  
successfully accomplished or an error message otherwise.  
Terse mode can be used only if the administrator configures a user port to enter into Terse mode at login (see page 21). If a  
keyboard-based user logs into a port intended for Terse mode operation, the following image will appear:  
Figure 24- User port in Terse mode

4. USING THE TERMINAL  
4.1 How To Setup The TERMINAL  
The TERMINAL is compatible with most CPUs and application packages. A menu driven setup system is provided to select and  
save the settings required by the CPU and application. To control the CPU, or in this case the SERIMUX, a user must be  
familiar with the requirements of the SERIMUX in order to setup the TERMINAL.  
4.1.1 Entering TERMINAL Setup  
Hold down the [ALT] key and then depress the [Esc] key to enter Setup mode. When entering Setup, any text on the screen  
temporarily disappears, and the main SETUP directory appears (See Figure 31). When leaving the Setup mode, the main SETUP  
directory disappears, and any text that was on the screen will reappear.  
4.1.2 Saving and Exiting Setup  
The first menu seen when entering Setup serves as a directory to the other Setup menus. To exit Setup or any submenu, press  
[F12]. Pressing [F12] will return the display to the main Setup directory and with another press of [F12] the user will exit Setup.  
The highlighted field at the right of the screen gives the user the choice of saving or not saving parameter changes into  
memory before returning the terminal to the normal operating mode. Settings changed will effect the operating environment until  
the TERMINAL is powered-down. Setting changes will only be restored at power-up if they are saved before exiting Setup.  
Note: If settings are not saved before exiting Setup, any new selections will be lost when the RACKMUX is powered-  
down.  
To save Setup selections, depress the Spacebar to change the save field at the right side of the screen from NO to YES before  
exiting Setup. (Table 2 describes your options for exiting Setup.)  
Press [F12] to leave Setup and return to the normal display mode.

CONCEAL hides the answerback message, so it is not displayed in setup mode.  
To save the message in nonvolatile memory, exit Setup mode with the YES option.  
F9- Lan Setup Menu  
This menu configures the terminal for Ethernet communication. Use of Ethernet communications provides the additional ability to  
open multiple sessions (applications) on one or more CPUs/servers at the same time. Support of these extended features requires  
the server to be configured to accept telnet connections.  
Note: The Ethernet option in the F4 setup menu must be set to ON for the terminal to work in an Ethernet environment.  
Local IP Address is the IP address assigned to this terminal. This must be a unique IP address. An example of this address is  
200.200.200.10.  
Netmask is a value generated by the system based on the IP address. The system administrator would have this information. An  
example is 255.255.255.0  
Gateway This IP address is used to communicate with other networks. If a gateway is not being used this option should be blank.  
Remote IP 0...B Address are for any remote CPU, or devices, that the terminal will communicate with for a specific session.  
These twelve remote IP addresses should all be identical if all communications will be with only one CPU. If Multiple sessions-ON  
in the F4 menu has been selected, and there is more than one CPU on the system, the user must specify which CPU each  
session will communicate with. To communicate with a different CPU for a future session, these settings must be changed.  
Note 1: The Multiple session option allows 8 separate sessions if any emulation other than ECON-80 is selected. If  
ECON-80 emulation is selected, the Multiple session option will then allows 12 separate sessions.  
Note 2: Port 23 Is the telnet service by default.  
Note 3: The terminal must be powered cycled after saving for these parameters to take effect.  
Term Type allows definition of the terminal with up to 40 characters. If Term Type is empty the default type is sent to the CPU  
by the system.  
Ethernet Node ID displays the serial number of the hardware Ethernet interface device. This is a default value of the  
manufacturer of the hardware device and should not be changed.

4.4 TERMINAL Command Guide  
4.4.1 Commands Supported in ASCII Personalities  
Table 8 lists all the ASCII commands recognized by the terminal. The native mode code for the command is given in the second  
column. (The native mode includes WY-325,WY-120 and WY-60.) The remaining columns show the support for the command in  
other ASCII personalities according to the following notations:  
Same  
Same as native code (code is native to other terminal also)  
Wyse  
Same as native code (Wyse enhancement- code not native to other terminal)  
ENH  
Same as native code when enhance mode is ON (Wyse enhancement - code not native to other terminal) A code listed under a  
nonnative personality indicates that the related terminal's native code is supported.  
A blank in any column indicates that the command is not supported.  
Variables are shown in italics. Their values are listed in alphabetical order at the end of the table.  
Footnotes are found at the end of Table 7 on page 52.

4.6 Using Printer Server via Ethernet Connection  
Introduction  
In order to send print jobs to a network-based printer, the Ethernet Print Terminal function in the TERMINAL must be used. To  
use this function, the Telnet Terminal communication option described on page 1 is available. For this option to work, an  
Ethernet cable must be connected as described on page 6.  
There are two ways to send the print jobs to a network-connected printer: 1) through LPD protocol, and 2) through TFTP protocol.  
• The LPD method is more suitable for printing environments with a large number of users because the LPD  
protocol has a queue process so print jobs will be kept in the print queues in the CPU.  
• TFTP does not implement the print queue concept; if the printer port is not ready for accepting new print jobs, TFTP  
will be terminated. Consequently, the user must send the print job again. As a result, the TFTP protocol is suitable for  
printing small jobs, in an environment with a small number of users, or for testing purposes.  
LPD is a built-in printing protocol in the BSD type of UNIX and is also available in most other UNIX systems. With LPD, users do  
not need to install additional software to the CPU to print the jobs. Most implementations of the LPD protocol send out the data file  
before the control file. However, since Ethernet Print Terminal must print the data file immediately upon receiving it, the print  
option specified in the control file cannot take affect.  
To install the printer server function of Ethernet Print Terminal, the first step is Basic setup. Whichever printing protocol will be  
used, it is necessary to run basic setup first. If LPD will be used to print jobs, go through the Setup for LPD procedures. If TFTP  
will be used, go through the Setup for TFTP procedures.  
4.6.1 Basic Setup  
Because the TCP/IP world uses IP addressing to communicate with each other, the purpose of Basic Setup is to assign an  
IP address to the Ethernet Print Terminal.  
For the purpose of this explanation, assume the following:  
(1) Login to the UNIX CPU as root  
(2) The Ethernet Print Terminal is on the same network segment that the printer resides.  
Step 1. Add the Print Server to /etc/hosts  
Create a new entry in the /etc/hosts file on all UNIX CPUs that are slated to work with Ethernet Print Terminal.  
To create a new entry, add the following line:  
IP_Address PS_NAME # comment  
where: IP_Address is an IP address.  
PS_NAME is a CPU name of a print server.  
The statement after # is the comment for the new entry.  
e.g. 90.3.2.2 ETPS1 # Ethernet Terminal  
This example assigns the name ETPS1 to the Ethernet Print Terminal with IP address 90.3.2.2.  
Note: The IP address is defined in setup Screen of Ethernet Print Terminal, as a Local IP address. Use the same one.  
Step 2. Check to see if above steps are completed  
To verify if the IP address of print Server function is installed successfully, issue the following ping command:  
ping PS_NAME [Enter]  
e.g. ping ETPS1 [Enter]

NTI RACK MOUNT CONSOLE TERMINAL WITH CONSOLE SWITCH  
4.6.2 Setup for LPD  
Follow those steps from step 1 to step 2 described in Basic Setup. The following steps are dependent on the operating system.  
Please refer to the UNIX administration guide. The following illustrated steps are under BSD system.  
Step 3. Create a spooling directory  
Use mkdir command to create a directory for spooling.  
e.g. mkdir/usr/spool/ETPS1  
Step 4. Make the directory available to LPD main process  
Basically, the method has the following three procedures:  
1) Assign the spooling daemon as the owner of this directory.  
2) Allow the spooling daemon to be able to read from or write to the directory.  
3) Enable the group of LPD main processes to be able to read from or write to the directory.  
e.g. If it works on a BSD UNIX host and makes the directory /usr/ spool/ETPS1 (created in step 3) available, then follow  
these three procedures:  
chown daemon /usr/spool/ETPS1  
chmod 775 /usr/spool/ETPS1  
chgrp daemon /usr/spool/ETPS1  
Step 5. Add a remote printer  
To add a remote printer, insert a block similar to the following in the /etc/printcap file.  
Printer_name|Remote Printer on Ethernet Terminal:\  
:lp=:\  
:rm=PS_NAME:\  
:rp=Logic_Printer_name:\  
:sd=<full path of spooler directory name>:\  
e.g. If Ethernet Print Terminal works on a BSD UNIX host, then insert the following block into /etc/printcap file.  
ETPS1|Remote Printer on Ethernet Terminal:\  
:lp=:\  
:rm=ETPS1:\  
:rp=L1:\  
:sd=/usr/spool/ETPS1:\  
Step 6. Start CPU's print mechanism for BSD version UNIX system  
Typing: lpc start printer_name [Enter]  
e.g. lpc start ETPS1 [Enter]  
Now the Ethernet Print Terminal is configured to accept LPD printing..

4.6.3 LPD printing  
LPD protocol is built-in to most of the UNIX system. However, detailed implementation of LPD differs among UNIX systems.  
Please refer to the UNIX administration guide for reference. The following illustrated printing command is under BSD system or  
System V version.  
For BSD system: lpr -P <printer_name><filename>  
For System V version: lp -d <printer_name><filename>  
This command is to print selected file to the selected printer.  
e.g. lpr -PETPS1 /etc/hosts (BSD version) or lp -dETPS1 /etc/hosts (System V version)  
This example is to print the /etc/hosts file to the Ethernet Print Terminal printer.  
4.6.4 Setup for TFTP  
When working on the BSD UNIX system, run the setup procedure under Setup for LPD on page 61. Otherwise run the Setup for  
LPD omitting step 6.  
4.6.5 TFTP Printing  
Before using TFTP printing, the Ethernet Print Terminal needs to be installed completely by Setup for TFTP (above). TFTP  
Printing lets the user send print jobs to the printers directory. There are no spooling mechanisms involved. Consequently, if that  
printer is not ready, the TFTP process will be terminated immediately without sending print jobs to printers. The user must make  
sure the printer is ready to print before issuing the TFTP command to have a successful result.  
Log into the Ethernet Print Terminal with this command:  
tftp <PS_NAME>  
and then type:  
put <file Name> Ln  
where Ln is a logic printer for L1 to L8  
e.g. tftp ETPS1  
tftp > put /etc/hosts L1  
This example prints the /etc/hosts file to the logic printer 1 of Ethernet Print Terminal printer ETPS1.
