Introduction
Xerox 4500 PS TR
1. Introduction to Xerox 4500 PS TR
The Xerox 4500 PS TR is basically viewed as a “Plug and Go” product in
terms of printing directly from Windows using NetBIOS/NetBEUI. To print
using one of the other protocols supported, a minimum configuration on
protocol level is required. This minimum configuration is system dependent
and no default value will apply. For details on minimum configuration on
protocol level, see the chapter: “Configuration of Xerox 4500 PS TR”.
Each unit is capable of supporting multiple print sessions at the same time,
each with its own resource environment. This ensures maximum use of
downloaded resources and minimises network traffic.
Direct host print
The Xerox 4500 PS TR is capable of printing AFP based documents as
well as native data. The Xerox 4500 PS TR - non IPDS offers support for
native and ICDS datastreams. The Xerox 4500 PS IPC offers support for
native, ICDS and IPDS datastreams.
Native data:
PCL, ASCII,
Postscript
etc.
Direct host print via TCP/IP
Support for direct AFP host print via the TCP/IP PPR/PPD bi-directional
protocol allows for direct printing control without the need for configuring
intermediate systems.The ICDS and IPDS modules allow the unit to
communicate directly with IBM mainframe and midrange systems using
the TCP/IP PPR/PPD (Page Printer Requester/Page Printer Daemon) bi-
directional protocol.
LAN print
The Xerox 4500 PS TR is a remote device for the Token Ring
environment supporting the most widely used protocols in the LAN
environment. With its capability to handle different network protocols
simultaneously, the Xerox 4500 PS TR is ideal in a mixed environment. It
allows you to connect your printers anywhere in a Token Ring network
giving all network users access to shared printer resources.
Xerox 4500 PS TR output / print share
Although the Xerox 4500 PS TR does not have a spool function, it allows
several print sessions to be active simultaneously. This means that print
data can be received in “parallel” from various print applications .
To avoid print mixing , some sharing functions have been implemented.
See the chapter “Configuration of Xerox 4500 PS TR” for details.

2.4 Share timeout
When Xerox 4500 PS TR operates as a print server for multiple
environments simultaneously, print corruption is avoided by excluding all
other printing as long as a print job is being printed. This is done via a
Share Timeout. The Share Timeout defines an idle time for switching
between printer sessions. As a default, the Share Timeout is set to 20
seconds, but this can be changed via the configuration file (See the
various configuration options for details ).
NOTE:
· The Share Timeout must be set to a value which is less than the
printer’s internal printer share timer.
· NativeShare Strings:
No share string functionality is included in the Xerox 4500 PS TR
when printing non-IPDS data, so it is up to the application to
ensure the correct printer environment.
IPDS Share Strings
To ensure that the printer environment is corre ct for IPDS printing, share
strings can be programmed using the idaSetup (MakeITDS) Setup
program.
IPDS resources downloaded to the printer are del eted on share
boundaries and are therefore downloaded to the next print job (next
usage).
2.5 Network installation
1. Switch off the printer.
2. Connect the UTP cable to the network port on the PrintServer.
NOTE:
If you use the STP cable connection, you must use the cable
supplied with the kit to convert STP to UTP cabling.
3. Switch on the printer.
4. Test the Xerox 4500 PS TR (by pressing the TEST key).

When IP address has been defined:
If the TCP/IP is enabled, the LAN LED will - if BOOTP parameter set to
YES - start to flash as the Xerox 4500 PS TR tries to contact a BOOTP
server. If no BOOTP server is availab le, the Xerox 4500 PS TR will use
defaults. If valid default values are found, the LAN LED will remain lit.
The printer and network installation is now complete. For advanced
configuration, see the chapter “Configuration of Xerox 4500 PS TR”.
2.6 Installing upgrade modules
This section provides installation guidelines for IPDS or FSL upgrade modules.
1. Disconnect all cables to the Xerox 4500 PS TR.
2. Loosen the thumbscrews and pull out the interface
3. Place the Xerox PS upgrade module (be it IPDS or FSL) on the 4
plastic spacers on the base module. Make sure that the pins on the
connector J(x) fits correctly.
4. Remount the interface into the printer and fasten the 2 thumbscrews
loosened in step 2.
5. Generate a settings printout to verify the installation of the upgrade
module.
The printer and network installation is now complete. For advanced
configuration, see the chapter “Configuration”.

3. Configuration
This chapter describes how the PrintServer may be subject to a more
advanced configuration using the supported setup facilities (see below).
However, with a minimum configuration of the selected protocol, the
PrintServer is ready for operation. For details on operation based on default
settings, see below.
3.1 Introduction to configuration
When installing your PrintServer, first of all you must configure the
protocol needed in order for the system to be able to communicate with
your PrintServer.
Thus, you should ensure that the protocol you want to use for printing
has been enabled on the PrintServer. For example, if you wish to print
from Novell you need to enable the IPX/SPX protocol and configure it and
if you need to print SNA print from a host, you should enable the SNA
(PU/LU) protocol and configure it. These two protocols are not enabled by
default in the product. This configuration is carried out in PSinst32 or
using one of the following tools:
Þ Web Browser
Þ Telnet
Þ Configuration file
Þ BOOTP server
See the section on “Minimum Configuration” for more details on minimum
setup via each tool.
When you are sure that you have configured the PrintServer according to
your specific needs (see this chapter: chapter 3), you will have to make
the needed definition on the system in order to be able to send print to
the PrintServer. For this you proceed to the chapters 4-17.

Xerox 4500 PS TR
3.1.1 Which Configuration Tool Do I Choose to Configure My PrintServer?
When delivered, the product has a MAC address but no IP address.
NOTE:
If the PrintServer is to be used for TCP/IP print, you need to
define an IP address in the PrintServer. If you wish to
configure via the Web browser or using Telnet, you need to
define an IP address in the PrintServer as well. You do this
in Psinst32 or via BOOTP.
About the IP Address
The IP address is unique in the Internet environment and consists of a
network ID and a host ID.
3.1.1.1 Psinst32
See section 3.3 for details
3.1.1.2 BOOTP Server
BOOTP may also send config files as well as download firmware. See
section 3.7 for details.
3.1.2 In General on Configuration...
The PrintServer can be subject to advanced configuration in general. This
can be done in a number of ways which will be dealt with later in this
document. The various configuration methods are:
Þ configuration via PSinst32
Þ configuration using Web browser
Þ configuration via Telnet
Þ configuration using a configuration file
Þ configuration using BOOTP server

3.2 Minimum configuration
With a minimum configuration on protocol level in addition to the default
settings, the PrintServer is ready for operation.
A minimum configuration is necessary as it is system dependent and no
default value will apply in this case. The parameters stated in the minimum
configuration are mandatorysettings for the PrintServer to become
operational.
To set the minimum configuration parameters, use either the program
PSInst32 or the minimum configuration filesupplied with the configuration
diskettes.
The minimum configuration only covers the most basic printing needs and a
more advanced configuration will have to be done using of the other
supported configuration methods.
PSInst32
This program is described later in this chapter.
Minimum configuration file
Modify the parameters in the minimum configuration file to suit your system
configuration. A sample configuration file is shown later in this chapter. For
download of the configuration file, see the section “Configuration using
Setup file”.
3.2.1 Mandatory settings
TCP/IP
If you wish to operate via the TCP/IP protocol, the parameters below must
be set. These are system dependent and thus the default values will not
apply. Once these parameters have been defined, printing via LPD and
PPD ports can be performed.
Mandatory parameters:
IP address
Subnet mask
Gateway
These parameters shouldnot be chosen
at random. Contact your system
administrator for details.
IP address
To receive data on your network you need to define an IP address.
This IP address is unique in the Internet environment and consists of a
network ID and a host ID. The IP address uses the address classes A,
B and C for the various network sizes.

“Download From..” from the “File” menu. When activated you will see this
screen:
As a default PSinst32 will promt for download of PrintServer configuration
files but other files can be downloaded clicking “Files of type”:
- PS Configuration Files
- MakeITDS Configuration Files
- IPDS Top Firmware
- FSL Top Firmware
- IPDS Fontset
- Base Code
- All files
In the following you will see how to download firmware in the shape of
PrintServer drivers when the PrintServer is equipped with a top module for
IBM 3270 or IBM 5250 environment printing.
Example of downloading firmware for PrintServer drivers
When the PrintServer is equipped with a top module for printing in IBM
3270 or 5250 environments, the driver can be downloaded as follows:
1. In the above form click “Files of Type”
2. Select “FSL Top Firmware”

3.3.9 Broadcasting
One of the strong features of PSinst32 is the ability to detect and configure
devices via the LAN. When the DLC port has been selected as download
port, it is possible to detect devices even before an IP address has been
associated. This kind of detection is called broadcasting. A broadcast
message is issued through all bridges on the LAN. All associated devices
will be able to recognize this message, and will return an identification
message. The monitor sheet displays all devices which respond to the
broadcast message.
NOTE:
Since broadcasting puts a heavy burden on the network, it
should be limited to a minimum.
If you only need to update the status of the devices
attached to the LAN, you are recommended to use the
“Refresh” command instead of the “Discover” to lower
network burden.

The Monitor menu screen consists of the following information fields:
- MAC address:
This is the MAC address of the device. When activating the discover (or
Refresh) command, the device will sort the devices according to MAC
address and Name. New configured devices will be displayed at the top.
- Name:
This is the name (if any) the user has attached to the PrintServer
- Status:
The status menu will show the present status of the output ports on the
device. For detailled status information, double-click on a specific device.

3.5 Configuration using Telnet
The Telnet support (Terminal Emulation
ida PrintServer x3 MIO
Configure PrintServer
083.xxx
Protocol) offers yet another way of configuring
and monitoring the PrintServer. For this you will
need the emulations VT 100 and NVT. Telnet is
a standard TCP/IP application permitting
access from TCP/IP attached host systems.
NOTE:
As Telnet requires NVT and VT100 terminal
emulations, Telnet configuration support is not valid when running VM and
MVS.
Due to restrictions in the AS/400 Telnet implementation, the following
information should be considered:
“If you do not want the characters that are being typed to be displayed, the
function key associated with the “Hide” function should be pressed (F6 on the
default keyboard map). This function should be used when typing a password.
If you want the characters that have been typed to be sent to the remote
system for processing without pressing the Enter key, you should press the
function key associated with the “SENDWOCR” function (F11 on the default
keyboard map).”
(source: IBM: Network in Red Books, SK 2T-6022).
To establish a Telnet session with a PrintServer interface you need to
program the PrintServer with an IP address. This address may also be
configured via one of the many other configuration methods available (as
described in this chapter).
EXAMPLE:
To start a Telnet session on a Telnet capable host, type the following:
Telnet 192.0.110.1.
where
192.0.110.1. is the IP address of the PrintServer.
(For IP address details contact your system administrator)
When a Telnet session has been established, the PrintServer will prompt
the host for a userid and password.
The userid will be adm and the password will initially be defined as adm
You are recommended to change this initial password. To change the
default password, see section 3.5.5 .

3.7 Setting Up via BOOTP server
The TCP/IP BOOTP daemon on the server supports one or more remote
devices. When the PrintServer is powered on, it broadcasts an
initialisation request to all LAN systems. The BOOTP server receives the
hardware address and looks for a match of the hardware address in the
BOOTPTAB file. The BOOTP server has a BOOTPTAB file which is a
correspondence file for hardware addresses and IP addresses. When the
matching hardware address is located, the BOOTP server sends back
(using UDP protocol) an IP address, a subnet mask and other information
to the PrintServer in order to activate the unit. The data flow is as follows:
1. Upon startup, the remote device broadcasts its MAC address. (The
universal MAC address is stated on the rear panel of the remote
device). Upon receipt of this broadcast, the BOOTP server makes a
reply.
2. The BOOTP daemon searches for a corresponding MAC address in the
BOOTPTAB configuration file. If a match is found, the BOOTP daemon
returns an IP address and other pieces of information defining the unit
in the network.

equipped with a so-called “ default configuration”. This default
configuration will be carried out if the PrintServer cannot detect a BOOTP
server at the time the PrintServer is powered on. The default settings are
similar to the ones defined on the BOOTP server. For an illustration of this

3.7.2 Setting up the TFTP Daemon
For the BOOTP server to download the settings to the print server,
TFTP must be enabled.
TFTP in AIX Environment
The TFTP daemon is normally managed by the INETD super-daemon.
The INETD starts a TFTPD when a request is received. The TFTPD
satisfies the request and then dies. You need to configure INETD so that
it performs this service. This can be done in the following way using the
SMIT command (System Management Interface Tool):
NOTE: It can only be done with superuser authority (i.e. use the su
command to switch to root user).
1. Type SMIT.
2. Select the following items in order to configure the TFTP daemon.
- Communications Applications and Services
- TCP/IP
- Further Configuration
- Server Network Services
- Other Available Services
- Super Daemon (INETD)
- INETD Subservers
- Add an INETD Subserver
3. When the menu “Available Subservers” appears, use the “LIST”
function .
NOTE: The TFTPD will only be on the list if not already created.
You can also check /etc/inetd.confto see whether the tftpd line is
commented out. But you should use SMIT to update inetd.conffor
TFTPD. Do not update /etc/inetd.confmanually for TFTPD as you would
for the BOOTPD.
SMIT does not allow you to place the BOOTPD under INETD. The
/etc/inetd.conffile must be updated manually for the BOOTPD.
You should ensure that there is no /etc/tftpaccess.cfgfile. It can be used
to control access to files by remote TFTP users.

3.7.3 Starting the BOOTP Server
This section provides you with instructions for starting the BOOTP
server.
After making the necessary amendments to the BOOTPTAB file, you
are now ready to start the BOOTP server and then verify the
configuration by performing a test printout.
1.
Start the BOOTP server
Use the BOOTP server debug option (-d) to verify the correct
operation.
E.g.
bootpd -b -d -d -d -d -d
If the PrintServer and the BOOTP server are not on the same LAN
segment, the BOOTP server must be started with the -b option.
This enables the BOOTP reply to cross bridges.

6. OS/2 Printing Using TCP/IP LPR/LPD
This chapter provides the three methods available for printing from OS/2
based PC’s with TCP/IP installed:
1.
2.
3.
Via print queue output port selection
(see Section 5.1 below for details).
Via redirection of LPTx port wit h LPR command
(see Section 5.2 below for details).
Redirection of LPTx port with LPRMON command
(see Section 5.3 below for details).
Once these parameters have been configured, and the basic TCP/IP
installation of the Xerox 4500 PS TRhas been completed, direct printing
from OS/2 will be possible.
6.1 OS/2 printing via a print queue
1. Open the “Templates” folder.
2. Drag and drop the printer icon onto the desktop.
The “Settings” menu for the printer will now open automatically.
3. Give the printer a name and select the printer driver required.
4. Select the output port to be used by clicking one of the “LPD pipes”.
e.g.
\PIPE\LPD0.
6. Give the LPD server a name
This may be either the IP address or the name which the Xerox 4500
PS TR has been given on a Name Server.
7. Give the LPD printer a name
The default LPD printer names defined in Xerox 4500 PS TRare
LPTPRT1 and LPDPRT2.
The LPDPrt1acr and LPTPrt2acr may also be used if a <CR> is
required at each linefeed.

9. Click on “Create” to create the printer
NOTE: The LPRPORTD program must be started for this
facility to function.
6.2 OS/2 printing using LPR command
The LPR command may be used to print to the Xerox 4500 PS TR.
To invoke the LPR command from the command line, type e.g. the
following command::
LPR -b -pLPDPrt1 -s192.0.110.1 myprint.pcl
To avoid having to type this every time, the parameters can be included in
a .CMDfile.
For more details on the options available with the LPR command you are
referred to the chapter “Entering the LPR Command” in the “TCP/IP for
OS/2 User’s Guide” or to the “ TCP/IP Command Reference”.
6.3 OS/2 printing via redirection of LPTx Port with
LPRMON command
The LPRMON command is similar to the LPR command but provides an
on-screen monitoring facility of the data transfer to the Xerox 4500 PS TR.
The LPRMON command may be invoked from the command line typing
e.g.:
LPRMON -b -pLPDPrt1 -s192.0.110.1 LPT1
The above command may also be included in a .CMDfile for ease of
operation.
For more details of the LPRMON command, please consult the LPRMON
section of the “TCP/IP for OS/2 User’s Guide” or the “TCP/IP Command
Reference”.

10. PSF/400 AFP Printing Using TCP/IP
This chapter provides configuration guidelines for AS/400 using TCP/IP.
The versions differ somewhat in the setup.
If you are running AS/400 version 3.1 or 3.6, you should see section
13.1. If you are running AS/400 version 3.2 or 3.7, see section 13.2.
Requirements:
Before IPDS printing using TCP/IP can be accomplished, the following
points need to be checked:
1. TCP/IP is installed and enabled
2. The relevant PTFs are applied
(for AS/400 3.1 and 3.6 only)
3. The WRKAFP2 command is compiled
(for AS/400 3.1 and 3.6 only)
Details on how to verify these items are supplied in a separate document
included on the documentation diskette.
See the file: AS400PTF.
PSF/400 is also a pre-requisite for IPDS printing. IPDS printing is
however possible for a period of time as a license can be obtained.
Once the above conditions have been met, the parameters have been
configured. The basic TCP/IP installation of the Xerox 4500 PS TR IPC
(IPDS) must also have been completed before direct AFP / IPDS from
PSF/400 will be possible.

12.2 AS/400 Printing
This method of printing supports various printer emulations.
For Laser printers, all non-IPDS emulations are supported.
Matrix printerssupport the traditional IBM matrix emulations.
When printing from OFFICE/400 care must be taken when submitting data to
be printed. The printer defined in the Print Option menu panel of
OFFICE/400 must have a similar emulation to the printer defined in the
OUTQ parameter.
In order to print to the Xerox 4500 PS TR(equipped with an FSL top), the
OUTQ defined above must be started with the STRRMTWTR command.

14.4 Configuring NetWare SAA gateway for direct
SNA connection to PS
The following will describe the normal procedures for configuring the PS
to a NetWare for SAA Gateway version 2.0. The main advantage for this
type of connection is that the print application on the mainframe has direct
printer control through VTAM.
NOTE Most NetWare SAA installations use the IPX/SPX protocol as
downstream protocol for the workstations. The PS supports the
IPX/SPX protocols, but currently not for SNA traffic. The
downstream protocol for the Xerox 4500 PS TR must be 802.2
SNA. If you wish to use the IPX/SPX protocol for downstream
printing, you will need a 3270 print emulation package on the
NetWare server.
HOST
SNA

SAA
PrintServer
Client

When is a network node or PU Downstream or Upstream?
This may cause some confusion, but is important to know when
configuring the SAA gateway.
In the above example, the following is true:
1. The host is an upstream node and PU to the SAA gateway.
2. The SAA gateway is a downstream node and PU to the host.
3. The SAA gateway is an upstream node and PU to the Xerox 4500 PS
TR.
4. The PS is a downstream node and PU to the SAA gateway.
5. The SAA gateway is an upstream node to the NetWare client, but PU
definitions are not used on the client since the protocol used is IPX.
Other protocols could have been TCP/IP.
6. The NetWare Client is a downstream node to the SAA gateway, but
downstream link and downstream PU definitions are not used since the
protocol used is IPX.
When configuring the SAA environment, the host will always be an
upstream PU and the Xerox 4500 PS TR will always be a downstream
PU.

Xerox 4500 PS TR
The following definitions are based on an assumption that the SAA server
is already up and running. If this is not the case, please refer to the
appropriate NetWare documentation before proceeding with the following.
1. Log in to the NetWare server running NetWare for SAA as supervisor.
2. Run SYSTEM\CSCON\cscon.exe and choose the appropriate SAA server.
It is also possible to configure via SAA Administrator for Windows.
3. Choose Configure Data Link Adapter.s
You will now be able to choose between one or more adapters. Note
the name of the adapter that should be used when communicating from
the SAA gateway to the Xerox 4500 PS TR, i.e. the adapter used for
the same physical network as the Xerox 4500 PS TRconnects to.
If only one adapter is listed, you may have to create the missing
adapter. Unless this is done, the Xerox 4500 PS TRhas to be located
on same LAN as the upstream node. In an installation resembling the
figure above. this means that the Xerox 4500 PS TRcan only be found
by SAA on the Ethernet side, NOT on the Token Ring side. Names and
numbers for network adapters can be found in the autoexec.ncf file on
the same server.
The entries look like this:
load TOKEN name=TOKEN_IP port=A20 int=2 frame=TOKEN-RING_SNAP
load 3c5x9 port=300 frame=ETHERNET_802.2 name=ETHER1
To create the missing adapter:
a) Press <Insert>
b) Type <Name> (i.e. TOKEN) <Enter>
c) Choose <adapter type> (i.e. Token Ring) <enter>
d) Type <Number> (note that each adapter needs a separate number)
e) Press <ESC>
f) Choose <YES> to create Data Link Adapter Definition
4. Choose Configure for Host Connections
You can now use an existing PU profile or you can add a new profile.
Multiple PU profiles can be active at the same time. This configures the
connection to the Host. The following describes the creation of a new
PU profile.
a) Press <Insert>
b) Enter <New Profile Name> e.g. IDAPROF

<Hex> or <Decimal> (system dependant)
<ESC>
e) Enter <Starting dependent LU address>
(Make sure that the number is not already in use by the existing profile)
f) Enter <Number of dependent LUs>
(This number should reflect the number of Xerox 4500 PS TRsthat
will connect to this SAA gateway. Each Xerox 4500 PS TRuses one
LU)
g) Enter the rest of the parameters. They should be copied from the
existing PU profile.
h) NOTE
The value for ‘802.2 Local Service Access Point’ must be defined in the
Xerox 4500 PS TRas ‘Remote SAP’.
The value for ‘node id’ must be defined in the Xerox 4500 PS TRas
‘Block number’ (first three digits) and ‘ID number’ (last five digits).
i) Press <ESC> and choose <YES> to create a new PU profile
5. Choose Configure Downstream PUs
This is where you actually define each of the Xerox 4500 PS TRsto the SAA
gateway.
Each Xerox 4500 PS TRis considered a PU.
a) Press <insert>
b) Enter <downstream PU name> (e.g. ida01)
c) Enter <downstream LU address> (always 02)
d) Enter <Number of downstream LUs> (always 1)
e) Enter <Logical Adapter Name> (the name of the SAA logical ada pter
that should be used to communicate with the Xerox 4500 PS TRIn
the above figure it would be the Token Ring adapter. If you have
created a new Data Link Adapterin step 3), this is the one.
f) Enter <MAC address> and <802.2 remote node address> (The MAC
address of the Xerox 4500 PS TR)
g) Leave the rest of the parameters at default value, press <ESC> and
choose <YES> to create a downstream PU.
h) NOTE:
The <802.2 remote service access point> is the ‘Local SAP’ in the Xerox 4500
PS TR.
6. Choose Configure LUs for Downstream PUs
a) Press <enter> on the highlighted line showing: 002 (0x02)
b) Choose <Host PU profile>

(If you have created a new PU profile in main step 4) you should choose
this one, e.g. IDAPROF. If not, choose the existing PU profile)
c) Choose the LU to be used by the first Xerox 4500 PS TR.
d) Press <ESC> three times
You have now completed the configuration of the NetWare SAA Gateway.
To activate the new configuration, please restart the SAA gateway. This is
done by issuing the following command from an RCONSOLE session:
unload nwsaa
load nwsaa
In most cases it will also be necessary to restart the SAA gateway in
VTAM. This is done by issuing the following commands on the host
operator console:
V NET,INACT,ID=puname,F
V NET,ACT,ID=puname
Hints
1. Start the cscon.exe program and do the following:
choose <configure for host connections>
choose <configure host PU profiles>
choose <configure for host connections>
select the profile for the Xerox 4500 PS TR
choose <configure dependant LUs>
In the panel displayed you should now have the following:
002 (0x02) Printer luname No Mapped: puname
The luname is the name defined for the VTAM printer, defined in step 6..
The category MUST be ‘mapped’
The ‘puname’ MUST be the name of the downstream PU defined in step 5.
If the above is not true, you need to reconfigure your definitions.
The above information can also be found using CSTATUS.
2. When starting NWSAA, the following message should be on the
NWSAA console:
3-10-96 22.28.08

Xerox 4500 PS TR
17. PSF/2 AFP Printing Using TCP/IP
This chapter provides details on how to:
Create an IPDS printer profile
Setup the “Keep Alive” TCP/IP feature
Requirements:
Before IPDS printing using TCP/IP can be accomplished, the following
points need to be checked:
1. OS/2 2.0 with APAR IR28716 or later version must be installed.
2. TCP/IP 2.0 with CSD UN64092 or later version must be installed
3. PSF/2 1.10 with CSD UR41102 or later version must be installed
Once the above conditions have been met and the basic TCP/IP
installation of the PrintServer (IPDS) been completed before direct
AFP/IPDS from PSF/2 will be possible.
17.1 Creating a new printer profile
From the PSF/2 control panel you make the following selections:
1. Select Profile
2. Select New

8. Select Port Number
If the output device is attached to PARALLEL 1 of the print server,
then select TCP/IP port number 5001. The value 5002 may also be
used. The value chosen must match the value defined for the session
in the PrintServer (IPDS)
9. Select OK
10. Select Create
The device created can be used with PSF/2 direct and with PSF/2 DPF
printing methods.
17.2 KEEPALIVE support for OS/2
The TCP/IP components in OS/2 offer network attachment for printers.
However, these TCP/IP components do not always detect connection
failures if a point-to-point session between the OS/2 machine and the
device has failed (e.g. in connection with a printer being abruptly
powered off). This may result in serious problems for IPDS printers in
sessions with PSF/2.
Now, support for the TCP KEEPALIVE facility has been added to the
TCP/IP components of OS/2 to detect all communication failures.
PSF/2 directs TCP to send a KEEPALIVE transmission on a TCP
connection remaining inactive for an extended period. If the
KEEPALIVE transmission is not acknowledged, the TCP assumes that
the connection partner has been lost and subsequently reports a failure
to PSF/2.
The frequency of these transmissions depends on the configuration of
the OS/2 TCP/IP environment. The default for OS/2 is two hours or
more. This, however, can be adjusted. These values apply to all TCP
applications that request KEEPALIVE transmissions.
In the following, you are provided with instructions for using the
KEEPALIVE support facility added to the TCP/IP components for OS/2.

PSF/2 AFP Printing Using TCP/IP
Xerox 4500 PS TR
17.3 OS/2 KEEPALIVE configuration
The TCP/IP "inetcfg" command can be used to configure the
"KEEPALIVE" parameter.
inetcfg KEEPALIVE=nnn
where nnn is the number of minutes a TCP connection must remain
inactive before TCP generates a KEEPALIVE transmission for an
application that requests them.
Default is 120 minutes.
The inetcfg command must be run each time the OS/2 system is started.
Adding the inetcfg command to \tcpip\bin\tcpstart.cmd is a convenient way
of automating this step.
Adding, e.g.
inetcfg KEEPALIVE=4
to \tcpip\bin\tcpstart.cmd causes TCP to send a KEEPALIVE transmission
if a TCP connection has been inactive for 4 minutes and the application
requested KEEPALIVE transmissions, as OS/2 now does. OS/2
recommends this TCP configuration setting to customers who use TCP/IP
attached printers and the device.
If the KEEPALIVE transmission is not acknowledged, the TCP will attempt
to re-connect up to 9 times. The interval between these attempts is fixed
but short.

18. PSF/AIX Printing Using TCP/IP
This chapter provides details on:
Adding a TCP/IP attached printer
Setup of the KEEPALIVE TCP/IP feature
Requirements
Before IPDS printing using TCP/IP can be accomplished, the following
points need to be checked:
1. AIX1.2 with PTF U436937 or later must be installed.
The above conditions must have been met and the basic TCP/IP
installation of the PrintServer (IPDS) completed before direct AFP / IPDS
from PSF/AIX will be possible.
18.1 Adding TCP/IP attached printer
The port number is defined in the PSF/AIX SMIT “ Add a TCP/IP-Attached
Printer” panel.
1. Enter Printer name
PSF/AIX uses the printer name you specify. Enter a name of up to 8
characters.
2. Enter Internet address
The address in the TCP/IP network where the PrintServer is installed.
Enter a 32-bit dotted decimal notation (e.g. 192.0.2.1).
3. Enter Port number (5001)
If the output device is attached to PARALLEL 1 of the print server,
then select TCP/IP port number 5001. The value chosen must match
the value defined for the session in the PrintServer (IPDS). 5001 is
the default port number of the first IPDS port no. in the PrintServer
(IPDS).

PSF/AIX Printing Using TCP/IP
Xerox 4500 PS TR
18.2 KEEPALIVE support for AIX
The TCP/IP components in AIX offer network attachment for printers.
However, these TCPIP components do not always detect connection
failures if a point-to-point session between the AIX machine and the
device has failed (e.g. in connection with a printer being abruptly
powered off). This may result in serious problems for IPDS printers in
sessions with PSF/AIX
Now, support for the TCP KEEPALIVE facility has been added to the
TCP/IP components of AIX to detect all communication failures.
PSF/AIX directs TCP to send a KEEPALIVE transmission on a TCP
connection remaining inactive for an extended period. If the
KEEPALIVE transmission is not acknowledged, the TCP assumes that
the connection partner has been lost and subsequently reports a failure
to PSF/AIX
The frequency of these transmissions depends upon the configuration
of AIX TCP/IP environment. The default for AIX is two hours or more.
This, however, can be adjusted. These values apply to all TCP
applications that request KEEPALIVE transmissions.
In the following, you are provided with instructions for using the
KEEPALIVE support facility added to the TCP/IP components for AIX
18.3 AIX KEEPALIVE support
The "no" (network options) command can be used by the root user to
configure KEEPALIVE frequencies.
no -o tcp_keepidle=nnn
no -o tcp_keepintvl=nnn
where nnn is in half-seconds.
The command “tcp_keepidle” specifies the interval of inactivity
causing the TCP to generate a KEEPALIVE transmission for an
application that requests them.
The default is 14400 (2 hours).
The command “tcp_keepintv”l specifies the interval between the nine
retry attempts if a KEEPALIVE transmission is not acknowledged.
The default is 150 (75 seconds).

The "no" commands must be run each time the AIX system is started.
Adding the "no" commands to /etc/rc.net is a convenient way of
automating this step.
Adding e.g.
no -o tcp_keepidle=480
no -o tcp_keepintvl=80
to /etc/rc.net causes the TCP to send a KEEPALIVE transmission if a
TCP connection has been inactive for 4 minutes and the application
requested KEEPALIVE transmissions, as AIX now does. AIX
recommends these TCP configuration settings to customers who use
TCP/IP attached printers and the device.
To view current settings enter

Problem Determination
Xerox 4500 PS TR
19. Problem Determination
This chapter describes how to monitor the operations of the Xerox 4500
PS TR and how to troubleshoot the supported protocols during
installation, configuration, and printing.
19.1 Monitoring tools
The operations of the Xerox 4500 PS TRmay be monitored using the
SNMP (MIB II) or the LEDs on the rear panel.
19.1.1 SNMP support
The Xerox 4500 PS TRhas been added support for SNMP using TCP/IP
as protocol for LAN access. The SNMP operates as a monitoring tool for
the Xerox 4500 PS TR .
19.1.1.1 What is SNMP
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is an application protocol
offering network management services in the Internet Protocol suite to
operate in connection with installation, configuration and management of
the PS.
SNMP defines a client/server relationship. The client program is the
connection to the SNMP agent (the PS) which is referred to as the SNMP
Management Information Base (MIB). The SNMP implementation in the
Xerox 4500 PS TRsupports the MIB II.
There are, however, exceptions to the extension of MIB II support:
The SET option on different objects (ARP table, ROUTE table, etc.) will
not be supported and any attempt to SET the objects will be rejected.
No support for EGP and Transmission Group.
By default the application uses the community string “public” for SNMP
GET and SET operations. If the community string used by NMS (Network
Management System) does not match the one expected by the SNMP
agent in the managed device, the operation fails.
NOTE:
You should be aware that a small amount of knowledge is required for
general use the SNMP. It is assumed that you have basic networking
knowledge (protocols, addressing, network errors, etc). For more
advanced use of SNMP, you are required a substantial amount of
knowledge.

19.1.1.2 Preparing for use of SNMP
To use the SNMP, the SNMP related parameters for the Xerox 4500 PS
TR must be defined using one of the supported configuration tools (see
chapter 3).
PS name
Specifies the attached PrintServer.
Contact name:
Specifies the contact person for this managed node.
System location:
Specifies the physical location of this node.
When the parameters have been defined, the operations may be

19.2 Troubleshooting
This chapter helps you resolve some problems you may encounter when
installing, configuring or operating the Xerox 4500 PS TR.
To maintain print integrity if the Xerox 4500 PS TRis powered off, the
attached printer must also be powered off. The printers can be powered
off independently of the Xerox 4500 PS TR .
19.2.1 When installing
TCP/IP
The following are general guidelines for correcting problems with the
installation of the Xerox 4500 PS TR.
The functioning of the LEDs on the front panel is described below:
LAN, and PRT LEDs all flash
·
Check the connection to the LAN. Reseat the LAN connector.
LAN LED continues to flash
·
Check BOOTP server definition (including BOOTPTAB file
definitions)
·
·
·
Check that BOOTP server can be accessed
Check that the BOOTP server is running.
Check that the bootfile can be located (by comparing bootp type
statement with file location; i.e. path).
·
Run the BOOTP server diagnostics (that is using the debug op tion
with the "-d-d-d-d-d" parameters).
- use "-b" option if you have a bridged network.
·
·
The Xerox 4500 PS TRand an OS/2 BOOTP daemon can be
separated by one or more LAN bridges or IP routers.
In some cases, the Xerox 4500 PS TRand OS/2 BOOTP daemon
can also be separated by an IP router. The IP router must be
specifically configured to pass certain broadcast frames.
NOTE:
With certain IP router implementations, it is not possible to
pass BOOTP requests. The Xerox 4500 PS TRand the

BOOTP server should therefore not be separated by such
router.
LAN LED is lit but PRT LED is not lit
·
AFP printing using TCP/IP
- check that the port number and IP address used by the PPR
(idaPSS, ida ReRouter, AS/400, PSF/2, PSF/AIX) are the same as
those defined on the Xerox 4500 PS TR .
IPDS applications must use port nos. 5001 and 5002
ICDS applications must use port nos. 5005 and 5006
·
Non-AFP printing using TCP/IP
- check that the IP address used by the host is that defined in the
Xerox 4500 PS TR non-IPDS
PSF indicated communication errors
Ensure that a PCL printer is attached and powered on.
·
Message AIN1048E or 0420-049
PSF cannot link to the printer address.
·
·
·
Check that port number matches that set up for the ‘Xerox 4500 PS
TR.
Check that your network is operational (e.g. by using the PING
command).
Check that the printer session you are accessing is not already
assigned to another host such as PSF/2, PSF/AIX, PSF for S/370-
S/390 or PSF/400.
LAN, LEDs is lit, PRT flashes, but no print is produced
·
·
Check that the printer is online.
Check that a printer intervention is not pending.
Message AIN0029 or 0420-029
·
Check that the printer is online.

·
Check that a printer intervention is not pending.
Check that either a PCL or PostScript printer is attached.
Message AIN1049
Communication failure
·
·
Check that the printer is ready (powered on and on-line).
Check cabling.
19.2.2 When configuring
The following guidelines help you detect problem areas, particu larly when
configuring the Xerox 4500 PS TR.
BOOTPTAB file errors
You should avoid making the following syntax errors in the bootptab file:
·
·
·
Line continuation character must be " \ " (i.e. backslash)
Do not leave out " : " after tag values
Remember to keep comments on separate lines
(Comment lines are indicated as blank lines, spaces or a number
sign (i.e. " # ").
Does the printer indicate an error message?
(for example status code, alarm and so on)
·
·
Check the connection to the Xerox 4500 PS TR .
Check for printer physical errors (for example paper jam, out of
paper, toner out, and so on).

Problem Determination
Xerox 4500 PS TR
Does the LED status of theXerox 4500 PS TR appear normal?
Check for status of the LEDs.
Can you PING theXerox 4500 PS TR ?
·
·
If not, the reason may be that one of the bridges is actually a router.
In that case, the Xerox 4500 PS TRand PSF/2-PSF/AIX should have
different IP network IDs. PSF2/PSF6000 should have a default
router and the Xerox 4500 PS TRshould be configured with a
gateway address.
·
You may also have used an invalid IP address in network.
Refer to the section: ”Testing the Xerox 4500 PS TR ”for a description of
how to "PING".
Are you unable / able to generate a test printout?
Unable:
·
Check the connection and the configuration to the BOOTP server.
·
Check the status of the attached PCL printer.
Able:
·
Check the configuration of PSF/2 or PSF/AIX.
·
Check the connection from the Xerox 4500 PS TRto the PSF/2 or
PSF/AIX servers.
Have changes been made since the initial installation and
configuration of theXerox 4500 PS TR ?
If you suspect that changes have been made to LAN, PSF/2 or PSF/AIX
or the bootp server since the initial installation and con figuration of the
Xerox 4500 PS TR,contact your system administrator.
·
Check that the configuration of the bootp server complies with the
requirements.

What are the symptoms you have recorded or detected?
Host systems record all errors in an error log file. For additional info rma-
tion, see the documentation for PSF/2, PSF/AIX, ida PSS, ida ReRouter or
ida IPPC.
·
·
Have any messages been produced?
Make a list of all the symptoms you have recorded for
subsequent problem determination.
Has an upgrade of microcode been performed?
Successfully
A successful microcode upgrade is indicated on the test printout with a
new Version number.
Unsuccessfully
Turn the printer off for a few seconds and back on. If problems persist,
revert to the microcode from the bootfile and repeat the upgrade process.
Refer to Appendix B: Microcode Upgrading.
If the problem persists, refer to your general problem reporting proce dures
or contact your point of purchase.
19.2.3 When printing
When operating via Win/OS2, you must make sure that the PS is
connected.
NetWare:
If you are printing via Novell NetWare you must check that the settings for
the PSERVER (EPS) and the NPRINTER (ENP) are made correctly.
Make a settings printout to check whether you have configured correctly.
Below are examples of possible error situations and hints as how to
remedy the situations.
NOTE:
When printing you should check the connection to the PServer viewing
the NetWare menu “Active Connections”.

19.3 Intervention required (IRQ)
The Xerox 4500 PS TRsupports IRQ - Intervention Required. When the
intervention required status message is sent, the print session will be
responsible for the recovery action.
To control the printer error conditions, two separate IRQ timers are
available:
- IRQ timeout
Used to report printer error / fault conditions to the initiating application
- Hold timeout
Used to report printer hold conditions to the initiating application.
The Xerox 4500 PS TRhandles the following intervention status conditions:
· Online/Offline - i.e. is the printer Ready?
The IRQ conditions vary, however, depending on the print session. For a
description of the differences, see below.
IPDS
1) Intervention conditions that can be reported
presently will be supported.
Ready?
2) The HOLD timeout parameter is used to
determine when hold conditions are reported to
the host.
ICDS
1) The intervention condition is reported to the
host. The user is required to perform
intervention recovery (i.e. attend to the printer
problem). Once the printer is Online,
printing will restart from the last checkpoint.
2) The HOLD timeout parameter is used to
determine when hold conditions are reported
to the host.
Ready?
LPD
1) There will be no response or notification with
any intervention condition, i.e. the print data
remains pending in the printer (printer appears
busy).
Ready?
2) The HOLD timeout parameter is used to
determine when hold conditions are reported to
the host.

problem by turning power off for a few seconds and then back on again. If
the error message is still displayed, use the following:
Printer may indicate a physical printer intervention message
·
Check for pending printe r intervention messages, such as paper jam,
out of paper, out of toner, and so on.
Printer indicates an error code
·
Error codes are printer specific, refer to the printer specific
documentation.

Appendix A: Configuration Using Setup File
You should only modify or change the settings via the bootfile for strictly necessary
purposes.
Otherwise, you are recommended to use e.g.Telnet. (see the chapter on Configuration)
Appendix A 1: Configuring via parallel port
The default LAN and TCP/IP parameters may be set up via the parallel port.
If this method is used instead of using the configuration file, then the IP
default (IP address gateway and subnet mask) must be specified in the
configuration file when the Xerox 4500 PS TRis set up for the first time.
The configuration file must be sent via the centronics port.
NOTE:
On OS/2 workstations use IBMNULLas printer driver
On DOS or Windows use a Generic /Textprinter driver only.
1. Select the file you wish to send to the parallel port.
2. In this file you write the following command sequence at the top of the file:
&&??##N1,0#<CR>
3. Type: END
4. To send the file, you write the following at the command prompt.
copy <filename> <lpt1>
where lpt1 is the PC’s centronics port.
5. For the settings to become effective you must either:
- turn the Xerox 4500 PS TRoff and on
or
- define the Xerox 4500 PS TRto boot from the configuration file
Type:
BEGIN_CONFIGURATION IDAPS

Appendix B: Microcode upgrading
The Xerox 4500 PS TRsupports an online microcode upgrade facility
permitting the installation of revised product microcode.
Operation of this facility will be possible in the following ways:
1.
2.
Via the TCP/IP boot server
Via the centronics port
CAUTION:
· During the initial 20-30 seconds after the microcode
download, a failure (power off) will have fatal consequences,
because the code will be lost and the previously stored code
erased. If this happens, a basic code still remains in the
flash to allow redownload of code. But download can then
only take place via the parallel port.
· You must always connect printer to PARALLEL port.
Appendix B.1: Upgrading microcode via Parallel port
The Xerox 4500 PS TRmicrocode can be upgraded via the PAR1 port by
using a PC containing the microcode in the form of a file.
To download the microcode via the parallel port follow these guidelines:
1. Power printer off.
2. Connect a PC to the parallel port using a centronics cable.
3. Power up the printer. When the session LED is lit, press the TEST key
shortly.
4. When the printer generate a test page with the message: “xxx | 5108
Awaiting microcode download”, the Xerox 4500 PS TRis ready for
microcode download.
5. Type the following command at the PC's command-prompt :
"copy 0xxxxx.B80 lpt1 /b"
where "0xxxxx.B80" is an example of a firmware file.1
1 The suffix .B80 may be case sensitive depending on the operating system.
174
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Appendix Section
Xerox 4500 PS TR
NOTE:
If you are making use of printer drivers in connection
with your PC's centronics port, it is important that these
drivers are temporarily disabled while you perform
the actual microcode download using the "copy"-command.
Otherwise the printer drivers may interfere in the microcode
image sent to the Xerox 4500 PS TRimplying serious problems. You
should use a generic/text printer driver when running Windows
environment and IBM NULL when running in OS/2.
6. Pay attention to the LED's on the Xerox 4500 PS TRfront-panel. These
will now blink very quickly - one after the other. This is an indication of
the microcode download taking place.
7. After the download process (time will depend on the PC’s hardware)
the “PRT” LED will stay lit. The remaining LEDs will be off.
8. Your Xerox 4500 PS TRhas now been equipped with a new microcode.
9. Power the Xerox 4500 PS TRprinter off and back on for the new
microcode to become effective.
10. Press the test key in order to verify the new microcode level stated on
the test printout page.
Appendix B.2: Upgrading Microcode via TCP/IP Boot Server
The microcode can be downloaded to the Xerox 4500 PS TRusing the
TCP/IP protocol TFTP:
1. Customising the BOOTP server data base access file
(BOOTPTAB file entry for the device with a bootfile parameter).
2. Customising the bootfile entry (customising the bootfile to indicate the
path to the microcode).
3. Power the printer off/on.
4. Validate the update microcode.

Appendix Section
Xerox 4500 PS TR
Preparing for Microcode Upgrade via TCP/IP
Prerequisites:
·
·
·
Microcode update file supplied by your i-data distributor
BOOTP server access (BOOTPTAB file)
Bootfile (configuration file <name.cf2>)
Update process
1.
2.
Generate a test printout from the Xerox 4500 PS TRby pressing the
TEST key. (Ensure that no sessions are active.)
Edit the BOOTPTAB file for the Xerox 4500 PS TRdevice address.
Add the bootfile parameter, e.g. bf = /<pathname>/<filename>
(remembering to use the forward slash for the path)
OS/2:
xer.tcp.network3.com: sm=255.255.255.0: bf=/tcpip/etc/myfile.cf2:\
gw=192.0.110.0: ht=6: ha=00036E0004A9: ip=192.0.110.1:
AIX:
xer.tcp.network3.com: sm=255.255.255.0: bf=/etc/myfile.cf2:\
gw=192.0.110.0: ht=6: ha=00036E0004A9: ip=192.0.110.1:
3. Edit either the configuration file or use t he Telnet to change the
microcode (Change or add the value for the microcode keyword
parameter to indicate the new microcode, pathname, and file.)
NOTE:
· Do NOT rename the microcode file(as the filename reflects the
microcode version). If it does not have a file type, do not give it one.
Renaming the file will cause the Xerox 4500 PS TRto hang in a
loop.
176
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Appendix Section
Xerox 4500 PS TR
· On AIX, you must ensure general read access to the microcode file
(TFTP users have login "nobody").
The microcode filename has the fol lowing format and should not be
changed:
095XXYZZ.B80
where
XX represents version
Y represents variant
ZZ represents release no. - generally not stated.
e.g.: 095022.B80
(microcode level 2, xerox product (2))
· Ensure that TFTP read access to this file is allowed.
4. Restart the BOOTP server. The Xerox 4500 PS TRchecks for new
microcode.
5. Power the Xerox 4500 PS TRoff and back on again.
NOTE:
A microcode upgrade will only be performed if the name of
the microcode file is different from the name of the version
currently operating in theXerox 4500 PS TR.
6. “PSX3 | 5108 Awaiting microcode download” message is now printed.
7. During download, the LEDs will be blinking alternately.
8. Now print a Test Page (by pressing Test button) and check that the
Version number on the test printout has changed to the new Version
(see the following section: “Problem Determination”).

·
What action do I take if a communication error occurs during the
upgrade process?
If the microcode download fails while you are using the TCP/IP boot
server, power the Xerox 4500 PS TRoff and back on again.
If a baseblock checksum error occurs during microcode download,
download via the centronics port is the only way to upgrade the
microcode (below is shown LED status if a baseblock checksum
error occurs):
