                                                                 for VMS



              This chapter describes the information and computing
              environment that you must prepare in order to install
              PrintServer supporting host software. The specific topics
              are as follows:

              o  Digital's PrintServer family, Section 1.1

              o  Installing supporting host software, Section 1.2

              o  Installation requirements, Section 1.3

              o  Backing up your system disk, Section 1.4

        1.1 Digital's PrintServer Systems

              Digital's family of PrintServer printers consists of a
              group of compatible network printers that can be shared by
              a number of systems. The PrintServer printer is one node
              in the DECnet network.

              A node that provides management services is called a
              supporting host node. A node that can send print jobs
              to the PrintServer printer is called a print client node.
              These network nodes are not mutually exclusive; a DECnet
              node can run PrintServer supporting host software as well
              as print client software.

              The supporting host node provides support functions
              to the PrintServer system. The supporting host node
              may be running either DEC PrintServer Supporting Host
              Software for VMS or DEC PrintServer Supporting Host
              Software for ULTRIX. The installation procedure for
              PrintServer supporting host for ULTRIX is documented
              in DEC PrintServer Supporting Host Software for ULTRIX
              Installation Guide.

           In a typical installation, a PrintServer system has one
           supporting host for booting and management. If you define
           multiple supporting hosts for the PrintServer printer,
           the printer can have a backup supporting host, in case
           the primary host is not available. The configuration and
           management of multiple supporting hosts are described
           in DEC PrintServer Supporting Host Software for VMS
           Management Guide.

           Each PrintServer printer is a DECnet node in the Ethernet
           network and must be assigned a unique DECnet node name and
           node address. The PrintServer printer can be booted from
           a DECnet supporting host node by the Digital maintenance
           operation protocol (MOP). The boot procedure is described
           in Chapter 4.

           The nodes that use the PrintServer printer for printing
           are called print clients. The print client software for
           VMS systems may be either one of the following:

           o  DECprint Printing Services software

              Installation of the DECprint Printing Services client
              software is described in the DECprint Printing Services
              Software Installation Guide.

           o  PrintServer Client software

              The PrintServer Client software is superseded by the
              DECprint Printing Services software. The installation
              procedure for the PrintServer Client software is
              described in the Installation Guide: VAX PrintServer
              Client.

           The client software for ULTRIX systems is called
           PrintServer Client for ULTRIX software and is included
           with the ULTRIX operating system software.

           The PrintServer system can accept connections from both
           DECnet nodes and Internet nodes that are on the same
           network as the printer. If your PrintServer printer will
           be printing jobs from an Internet node, the PrintServer
           printer must be assigned an Internet node address as well
           as DECnet node address.

     1.3.3 Prerequisite Software

           To install the DEC PrintServer Supporting Host Software
           for VMS, the supporting host system must be running VMS
           Version 5.3 or 5.4.

           After the installation, the system must be running the
           DECnet facility to run the supporting host software.

     1-6 Preparing to Install DEC PrintServer Supporting Host Software for VMS

 






              The System Support Addendum (SSA) contains a complete list
              of prerequisite and optional software and required version
              numbers.

              The PrintServer supporting host software is packaged in
              two save sets:

              o  LPS040.A, which contains installation procedures,
                 release notes, help files, PostScript files, and
                 utilities

              o  LPS040.B, which contains executable and system files

              Your bill of materials (BOM) and indented bills report
              (BIL) specify the number and contents of your media.
              Be sure to verify the contents of your kit with this
              information. If your kit is damaged or you find that parts
              are missing, contact your Digital representative.

        1.3.4 Obtaining Release Notes

              The PrintServer supporting host software provides online
              release notes. Digital recommends that you read the
              release notes before proceeding with the installation.

              To obtain the release notes for PrintServer supporting
              host software, run the VMSINSTAL procedure. When you run
              VMSINSTAL, the release notes are automatically copied to
              SYS$HELP.

              The VMSINSTAL procedure allows you to either print or
              display the release notes. After choosing the release
              notes option, you can terminate the installation dialog
              and run it again to install the software later. (Refer to
              Section 2.1.)

        1.3.5 User Identification Code and Device Name

              If this is the first installation of the supporting host
              software on this system, you must supply the following:

              o  A user identification code (UIC) for the LPS$SERVER
                 account.

              o  A device for the supporting host software default di-
                 rectory. The standard default device is SYS$SYSDEVICE.

 to         Install DEC PrintServer Supporting Host Software for VMS 1-7

 






           The installation procedure provides a default UIC value
           of [477,477]. If you select another value, make sure the
           group number value does not give system privileges to the
           LPS$SERVER account.

           Choose a group number for the LPS$SERVER account that is
           greater than the MAXSYSGROUP value. To select a group
           number, check the System Generation Utility (SYSGEN)
           MAXSYSGROUP parameter, as follows:

           $ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:SYSGEN
           SYSGEN>  SHOW MAXSYSGROUP

           Parameter Name            Current   Default   Minimum   Maximum Unit  Dynamic
           --------------            -------   -------   -------   ------- ----  -------
           MAXSYSGROUP                     8         8         1     32768 UIC   Group D

     1.3.6 VMSINSTAL Requirements

           When you invoke VMSINSTAL, it checks the following:

           o  Whether you are logged in to a privileged account

           o  Whether you have adequate quotas for installation

           o  Whether any users are logged in to the system

           The VMSINSTAL procedure requires that the installation
           account have minimum values for the quotas listed below:

           ASTLM       24

           BIOLM       18

           BYTLM       18,000

           DIOLM       18

           ENQLM       30

           FILLM       20

           Account quotas are stored in the SYSUAF.DAT file. Use the
           VMS Authorize Utility (AUTHORIZE) to verify and change
           user account quotas. Set your directory to SYS$SYSTEM and
           then run AUTHORIZE:

     1-8 Preparing to Install DEC PrintServer Supporting Host Software for VMS

 






              $ SET DEFAULT SYS$SYSTEM
              $ RUN AUTHORIZE
              UAF>

              At the UAF> prompt, enter the SHOW command with an account
              name to check a particular account. For example:

              UAF> SHOW SYSTEM

              To change a quota, enter the MODIFY command. The following
              example changes the FILLM quota for the SYSTEM account and
              then exits from the utility:

              UAF> MODIFY SYSTEM/FILLM=50
              UAF> EXIT

              After you exit from the utility, the system displays
              messages indicating whether or not changes were made.
              After you change account quotas, you must log out and log
              in again for the new quotas to take effect.

              For more information on modifying account quotas, see the
              description of the Authorize Utility in the VMS System
              Management Subkit.

              If VMSINSTAL detects any problems during the installation,
              it notifies you and asks if you want to continue the
              installation. In some instances, you can enter Yes to
              continue. To stop the installation process and correct
              the situation, enter No or press Return. Then correct the
              problem and restart the installation.

        1.3.7 Environmental Requirements

              Make sure the following conditions are met before
              installing the PrintServer supporting host software:

              o  You have a backup copy of the PrintServer supporting
                 host software distribution kit.

              o  The distribution media is loaded on the appropriate
                 input device.

              o  No other users are logged in to the system.

              o  All other supporting hosts installed for the same
                 PrintServer printer are disabled, as described in
                 Section 5.3.2.7.

           o  The logical name that points to the system authoriza-
              tion file is defined correctly.

              If SYSUAF is not defined, define SYSUAF to point
              to the SYSUAF.DAT file. Otherwise, the installation
              assumes that the file SYSUAF.DAT is in the SYS$SYSTEM
              directory.

           o  If you are upgrading the supporting host software, make
              sure that the logical name LPS$SUPPORT points to the
              LPS$SERVER default directory.

              ________________________Note ________________________

              To verify whether a logical name is defined
              correctly, enter the following command:

              $ SHOW LOGICAL logical-name

              _____________________________________________________

     1.4 Backing Up Your System Disk

           At the beginning of the installation, VMSINSTAL asks if
           you have backed up your system disk. Digital recommends
           that you back up the system disk before you install any
           software.

           Use the backup procedures that are established at your
           site. For details on performing a system disk backup,
           see the section on the Backup Utility in the VMS System
           Management Subkit.

              $ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL saveset-name device-name OPTIONS N

              The following list defines the elements of the
              VMSINSTAL command line:

              saveset-name
              The installation save set name for the component.
              PrintServer supporting host uses the save set name
              LPS040.

              device-name
              The name of the device on which you plan to mount the
              media, for example, MUA0:. It is not necessary to use
              the console drive for this installation. However, if
              you use the console drive, you should replace any media
              you removed before beginning the installation.

              OPTIONS N
              An optional parameter that allows you to see the
              question on release notes. If you do not include
              the OPTIONS N parameter, VMSINSTAL does not ask you
              about the release notes. You should review the release
              notes before proceeding with the installation because
              they may contain additional information about the
              installation. If you are restarting the installation
              and have already reviewed the release notes, you do not
              need to specify OPTIONS N.

              For example, the following command line invokes
              VMSINSTAL to install PrintServer supporting host
              software from tape drive MUA0: and shows the system
              response. This example uses the OPTIONS N release note
              parameter.

              $ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL LPS040 MUA0: OPTIONS N

              It is 01-JUN-1991 at 11:07.

              If you do not supply the information that is shown
              on the command line, VMSINSTAL prompts you for this
              information later in the installation procedure.

                 The above conditions may cause VMSINSTAL to function improperly.  In
                 particular, problems may occur with file ownership if you are not logged
                 into the SYSTEM account.  Furthermore, the existence of other processes
                 may lead to interactions with VMSINSTAL that cannot be anticipated.
                 If you continue at this point, you do so at your own risk.

                 * Do you want to continue anyway [NO]? Y

              3. Confirm system backup.

                 VMSINSTAL asks if you are satisfied with your system
                 backup. You should always back up your system disk
                 before performing an installation. If you are satisfied
                 with the backup of your system disk, press Return.
                 Otherwise, enter No to terminate the installation.
                 After you back up your system disk, you can restart the
                 installation.

                 * Are you satisfied with the backup of your system disk [YES]? ?

                 If you respond with a question mark (?), VMSINSTAL

              VMSINSTAL attempts to ensure that a power failure or system crash will
              not corrupt your system disk.  However, for absolute safety we
              recommend that you back it up before installing new products.  Please
              see the documentation for more information on crashes during installation.


              * Are you satisfied with the backup of your system disk [YES]? Y

           4. Mount the media.

              VMSINSTAL now asks you to mount the first distribution
              volume on the device you specified when you invoked the
              VMSINSTAL procedure.

              Please mount the first volume of the set on  MUA0:.

               Beginning installation of LPS V4.0 at 11:09

              %VMSINSTAL-I-RESTORE, Restoring product save set A ...

              In this part of the installation, VMSINSTAL displays
              the name of the product that will be processed. Then it
              restores the contents of product save set A. Finally,
              VMSINSTAL asks you to select one of the release notes
              options.

           5. Select a release notes option.

              If you specified OPTIONS N when you invoked VMSINSTAL,
              you are now asked to choose one of the options for
              reviewing the release notes. Regardless of the option
              you choose, VMSINSTAL copies the release notes to
              SYS$HELP.

                  Release notes included with this kit are always copied to SYS$HELP.

                  Additional Release Notes Options:

                         3.  Both 1 and 2
                         4.  None of the above

                 * Select option [2]: 2

                 o  If you select option 1, VMSINSTAL displays the
                    release notes immediately on the console terminal.
                    Terminate the display at any time by pressing
                    Ctrl/C.

                 o  If you select option 2, VMSINSTAL prompts you for
                    the name of the print queue that you want to use:

                    * Queue name: [SYS$PRINT]:

                    Press Return to send the file to the default print
                    queue or you can enter another queue name.

                 o  If you select option 3, VMSINSTAL displays the
                    release notes immediately on the console terminal
                    and then prompts you for a queue name for printing
                    the release notes.

                 o  Select option 4 if you have already reviewed the
                    release notes and are restarting the installation.
                    VMSINSTAL then asks if you want to continue the
                    installation.

              6. Continue the installation.

                 * Do you want to continue the installation [NO]?: Y

                 To continue the installation, enter Yes. Otherwise,
                 press Return. In either case, the product's release
                 notes are copied to a file in the SYS$HELP directory:

                 SYS$HELP:LPS040.RELEASE_NOTES

                 VMSINSTAL displays the message telling you that the
                 release notes have been moved successfully to SYS$HELP.

                 Installing DEC PrintServer Supporting Host Software 2-5

 






              The VMSINSTAL software checks to see if a previous
              version of the software has been installed. If not, the
              VMSINSTAL procedure skips this question.

              VMSINSTAL asks if you want to purge files replaced by
              this installation. You have the option to purge files
              from previous versions of the PrintServer supporting
              host software that are superseded by this installation.
              Purging is recommended; however, if you need to keep
              files from the previous version, enter No in response
              to the question.

              If you respond with a question mark (?),  VMSINSTAL
              displays this explanation:

              During this installation, new files will be provided to replace
              existing versions.  You may purge these older versions to save
              disk space, or keep them if you feel they may be of use.  Purging
              is recommended.

              * Do you want to purge files replaced by this installation [YES]? Y

           8. Install the ALL-IN-1 Compatibility Kit

              VMS asks you if you want to install the ALL-IN-1
              Compatibility Kit.

              If you respond with a question mark (?), VMSINSTAL
              displays the following:

              Requires 1900 blocks, provides ALL-IN-1 scripts for PostScript printing
              Do you want to install the ALL-IN-1 Compatibility Kit? [Y] N

              For the installation upgrade procedure, VMSINSTAL asks
              no more questions. Go directly to the informational
              messages.

              For a new installation, the VMSINSTAL procedure asks
              the following questions.

           9. Enter a user identification code (UIC) for LPS$SERVER
              account.

              ________________________Note ________________________

              This question is asked only if the LPS$SERVER
              account does not already exist.

                 You can either accept the default UIC or enter one
                 of your own choosing within a valid range and in the
                 proper format. Refer to Section 1.3.5. The system
                 displays the following information for choosing a UIC:

                 This installation will create an account named LPS$SERVER.
                 The UIC of this account will be used by the management client process
                 to provide the PrintServer with its secondary boot files and to
                 create event log and accounting files on this supporting host system.

                 You must specify a unique UIC for this account. In order to maintain
                 proper system security, please choose a UIC with a group number that does
                 not give the account system privileges.

                 Enter the UIC for LPS$SERVER account (include brackets)
                 [[477,477]]: <Return>

                 If you press Return in response to this question, the
                 default UIC [477,477] is assumed.

              10.Enter a default device for the LPS$SERVER directory.

                ________________________Note  ________________________

                This question is asked only if the LPS$SERVER
                account does not already exist.

                 You can either accept the default device or enter one
                 of your own choosing. Refer to Section 1.3.5.

                 Enter the name of one of the disk devices available on your host system.
                 Be sure that the device you specify has at least 9800 free blocks.

                 Enter the device name where the supporting host directory will
                 be created [[SYS$SYSDEVICE]]: <Return>

                 If you press Return in response to this question, the
                 default device SYS$SYSDEVICE is assumed.

              11.Read informational messages.

                 At this point, the installation procedure displays
                 information about the progress of the installation.
                 There are no further questions.

                                Configuring the Supporting Host Software



              This chapter describes the procedures for configuring the
              supporting host software.

              If you are installing or upgrading the PrintServer sup-
              porting host software, perform the following procedures:

              1. Prepare the information you will need to configure
                 the supporting host software, as described in
                 Section 3.1. Section 3.2 is useful when you upgrade
                 the supporting host software. Section 3.3 is useful for
                 all installations and upgrades.

              2. Run the configuration dialog procedure SYS$MANAGER:LPS$ADD_
                 PRINTSERVER.COM, to configure the primary supporting
                 host software, as described in Section 3.4.

              3. Edit the system startup file, as described in
                 Section 3.5.

              4. Boot the printer, as described in Chapter 4.

              If you are upgrading the PrintServer supporting host
              software from an existing version, perform the following
              additional procedures before booting the printer:

              1. Remove files left by older versions of the software, as
                 described in Section 3.6.1.

              2. Remove proxy access to the LPS$SERVER account, as
                 described in Section 3.6.2.

              To configure additional supporting hosts for the
              PrintServer printer, refer to Section 3.7.


                            Configuring the Supporting Host Software 3-1

 






     3.1 Preparing to Configure Supporting Host Software

           Before you can boot your PrintServer printer, you must add
           the printer to the DECnet network control program (NCP)
           database and provide supporting host services. Perform
           this procedure regardless of whether you are upgrading
           existing software or installing this software on this
           system for the first time.

           To set up the system as a primary supporting host, you run
           the standard command procedure LPS$ADD_PRINTSERVER.COM.
           This postinstallation procedure is described in Section 3.4.

           The LPS$ADD_PRINTSERVER command procedure does the
           following:

           o  Describes the network database additions for the
              supporting host.

           o  Configures and creates a management client process that
              provides the PrintServer printer with its secondary
              boot, configuration, resource, and default files.

           When you run LPS$ADD_PRINTSERVER.COM, you must provide
           the information shown in Table 3-1. You can prepare this
           information before you start the LPS$ADD_PRINTSERVER.COM
           file. Prepare one of these record sheets for each
           PrintServer printer that the supporting host system will
           service.

           o  If you are upgrading from a previous version of
              the PrintServer supporting host software, use the
              instructions in Section 3.2.

           o  If you are installing the PrintServer supporting
              host software for the first time on this system,
              go to Section 3.3 for instructions on obtaining
              the information you must provide to the LPS$ADD_
              PRINTSERVER.COM procedure.

        3.3 Configuration Information for New Installations

              The following sections explain the questions in the
              postinstallation dialog.

        3.3.1 DECnet Node Name

              Question 1 in the sample dialog in Section 3.4 requires
              you to supply the DECnet node name of the PrintServer
              printer.

              The DECnet node name of the PrintServer printer is
              required for defining the PrintServer node in the NCP
              database. The node name is assigned by the network
              manager; it must be unique within your DECnet network
              and must consist of an alphanumeric string of one to six
              characters with at least one alphabetic character.

              Some examples of DECnet node names are:

              o  HALLEY

              o  LPS40

              o  2001AD

              The DECnet node name that you supply to LPS$ADD_
              PRINTSERVER.COM will be used as the PrintServer printer
              name by default. To change the printer name, refer to the
              procedures in the DEC PrintServer Supporting Host Software
              for VMS Management Guide.

        3.3.2 PrintServer Type

              Question 2 in the sample dialog in Section 3.4 requires
              you to specify the type of PrintServer printer that is
              being configured.

              Specify a number that corresponds to the type of
              PrintServer printer that is going to be set up. Enter
              one of the following values:

              o  1 for a PrintServer 40 or a PrintServer 40 Plus

              o  2 for a PrintServer 20 or a turbo PrintServer 20

     3.3.3 DECnet Node Address

           Question 3 in the sample dialog in Section 3.4 requires
           the DECnet node address for the PrintServer printer. The
           DECnet address is a set of numbers used by the DECnet
           software to identify the DECnet node. This logical address
           is different from the Ethernet hardware address (described
           in Section 3.3.5).

           The DECnet node address is assigned to the PrintServer
           node by the network manager. A node address is a unique
           decimal integer assigned to each node in a network. The
           format of the address is:

           [area-number.]node-number

           In the DECnet address, the following fields are specified:

           o  The area-number is a number in the range 1-63. If the
              area number is omitted, the default is the area number
              of the supporting host node.

           o  The node-number is a number in the range 1-1023.

           Example:

           To determine the node address of a PrintServer printer,
           enter the following command:

           $ MCR NCP SHOW NODE printer-node-name CHARACTERISTICS

           The system responds with the PrintServer node address:

           Node Volatile Characteristics as of 01-APR-1991 13:56:08.25

           Remote node = 4.125 (HALLEY)

           . . .

           In this example, the DECnet node name is HALLEY, and the
           DECnet node address is 4.125.

        3.3.4 Service Circuit

              Question 4 in the sample dialog in Section 3.4 asks for
              the service circuit on the supporting host system that is
              used to service boot requests from the PrintServer printer
              that is being configured.

              The service circuit takes one of the following formats:

              dev-c
              dev-c-u
              dev-c.t
              dev-c-u.t

              In the service circuit name, the following fields are
              specified:

              dev      is the device name of the Ethernet controller.

              c        is a decimal number (0 or a positive integer)
                       designating the number of the hardware controller
                       for the device.

              u        is a decimal unit or circuit number (0 or a
                       positive integer) included only if more than
                       one unit is associated with the controller.

              t        is a decimal number (0 or a positive number)
                       that identifies a tributary on a multipoint
                       circuit. This is a logical tributary number, not
                       the tributary address used to poll the tributary.

              For example, the service circuit name might be:

              SVA-0

              To determine the service circuit, enter the following
              command:

              $ MCR NCP SHOW KNOWN CIRCUITS

              For more information on service circuits, see the VMS
              Network Control Program Manual.

           Enabling a Service Circuit

           The LPS$ADD_PRINTSERVER.COM file reminds you to enable the
           service circuit. You can ensure that the service circuit
           is enabled automatically by adding the following commands
           to LPS$NETSETUP_V4.COM:

           $ MCR NCP SET CIRCUIT circuit_name STATE OFF
           $ MCR NCP SET CIRCUIT circuit_name SERVICE ENABLED STATE ON

           To see if the service circuit is enabled, enter the
           following command:

     3.3.5 PrintServer Ethernet Hardware Address

           Question 5 in the sample dialog in Section 3.4 requires
           the Ethernet hardware address of the PrintServer printer.

           The format of the Ethernet address is a series of six
           hexadecimal numbers, each of which range from 00-FF.

           An example of an Ethernet hardware address is:

           08-00-2B-0C-86-3F

           If the Ethernet hardware address is not already available,
           you can obtain the address from the PrintServer printer
           (refer to Appendix D).

     3.3.6 Accounting Feature

           In Question 6 in the sample dialog in Section 3.4 you
           can choose to configure the PrintServer printer to supply
           accounting information. The PrintServer printer supplies
           accounting information to every supporting host that is
           enabled to receive accounting data.

           This question has three options: On, Off, or Reliable. You
           can ensure complete and accurate PrintServer accounting
           by choosing the R (Reliable) accounting feature. When
           the Reliable accounting feature is enabled, the printer
           does not print jobs when no supporting host is set up to
           provide accounting services.

                ________________________Note  ________________________

                Although choosing the Reliable accounting feature
                provides secure and complete accounting information
                from the printer, the printer prints jobs only if
                a supporting host node is available to provide
                accounting services for the printer. In network
                printing, this feature can cause printing delays.

                _____________________________________________________

              By default, the LPS$ADD_PRINTSERVER.COM procedure creates
              a management client that receives accounting data from the
              printer you are configuring.

              You can disable accounting services on the supporting
              host by running the LPS$OPTIONS procedure, as described
              in the DEC PrintServer Supporting Host Software for VMS
              Management Guide.

        3.3.7 Event-Logging Feature

              In Question 7 in the sample dialog in Section 3.4, you
              can enable event logging on the PrintServer printer. When
              event logging is enabled, the printer sends event messages
              to every supporting host set up to receive them. If you
              disable event logging, the printer does not send event
              messages to the supporting host.

              By default, the LPS$ADD_PRINTSERVER.COM procedure creates
              a management client that receives event messages from the
              printer you are configuring.

              You can disable event logging on the supporting host by
              running the LPS$OPTIONS procedure, as described in the DEC
              PrintServer Supporting Host Software for VMS Management
              Guide.

        3.3.8 Printer Password

              Question 8 in the sample dialog in Section 3.4 allows you
              to supply a printer password different from the default.
              The default printer password is LPS.


                            Configuring the Supporting Host Software 3-9

 






           The printer password is used by the management client
           software to access the printer. The printer password may
           also be used by privileged PostScript jobs.

              ________________________Note ________________________

              Previous versions of the PrintServer supporting
              host software used different passwords. If you are
              upgrading the software, privileged PostScript jobs
              that use the previous passwords will not print.

              _____________________________________________________

     3.3.9 PrintServer 20 Series Language Choice

           Question 9 in the sample dialog in Section 3.4 is asked
           only if you have specified a PrintServer 20 series printer
           by answering Question 2 (PrintServer type) by entering the
           number 2.

           The PrintServer 20 series printers have a front panel
           display that can be modified to provide messages and

     3.3.10 DECnet Access Restrictions

           Question 10 in the sample dialog in Section 3.4 allows you
           to restrict or enable access to the PrintServer printer
           from specified DECnet nodes.

     3-10 Configuring the Supporting Host Software

 






              This feature allows you to list the DECnet nodes and
              network areas that can submit print jobs and act as
              supporting hosts to the PrintServer printer. You can
              supply the DECnet node addresses and network areas of
              nodes that will not be allowed to print jobs and will
              not be allowed to act as supporting host nodes. You
              can also supply the DECnet node addresses and network
              areas of nodes that will be allowed to print jobs on
              the PrintServer and supply supporting host services
              as each has been configured. See the DEC PrintServer
              Supporting Host Software for VMS Management Guide for
              more information.

                ________________________Note  ________________________

                When you restrict access to the PrintServer printer,
                you restrict supporting host services (such as
                configuration services) as well as print jobs

                _____________________________________________________

              By default, the PrintServer printer allows access from
              any DECnet client that wishes to connect to it and accepts
              supporting host services from any node that is configured
              to supply them to the PrintServer printer.

                ________________________Note  ________________________

                If there are multiple supporting hosts in your
                network configuration, refer to the DEC PrintServer
                Supporting Host Software for VMS Management
                Guide before choosing to restrict access to the
                PrintServer printer.

        3.3.11 Providing Access from Internet Nodes

              Question 11 in the sample dialog in Section 3.4 enables or
              disables the PrintServer printer from accepting print jobs
              and supporting host services from ULTRIX or UNIX nodes on
              the TCP/IP (Internet) network.



                           Configuring the Supporting Host Software 3-11

 






           If you have ULTRIX or UNIX nodes in your network that will
           be submitting print jobs over the Internet network, or if
           these nodes will be providing supporting host services,
           you must supply the following information about the
           PrintServer printer:

           o  Internet address (see Section 3.3.11.1)

           o  Internet subnet mask (see Section 3.3.11.2)

           o  Internet gateway address, if required (see Section 3.3.11.3)

     3.3.11.1 Internet Address

           If the PrintServer printer is to accept connections
           from nodes in the Internet network, you must provide the
           Internet address of the PrintServer printer to LPS$ADD_
           PRINTSERVER.COM.

           When the PrintServer printer is on the Internet network,
           the Internet address is assigned to the printer by the
           network manager. The Internet address is a 32-bit number,
           usually expressed as four decimal numbers separated by
           periods. For example:

           128.45.9.1

     3.3.11.2 Internet Subnet Mask

           If the PrintServer printer is to accept connections from
           nodes in the Internet network, you must also provide
           the Internet subnet mask during the postinstallation
           procedure. If you do not know the subnet mask for your
           network, contact your network manager. An example of an
           Internet subnet mask is as follows:

           255.255.255.0

     3.3.11.3 Internet Gateway Address

           If the PrintServer printer is to print jobs submitted
           from another Internet that is connected to the printer's
           Internet by a gateway, you must supply the Internet
           address of the gateway node. The network manager gives
           you the gateway node address. An example of a gateway node
           address is:

        3.3.12 Internet Access Restrictions

              Question 12 in the sample dialog in Section 3.4 allows you
              to specify the Internet nodes and subnetworks that will
              be allowed or denied access to the PrintServer to submit
              print jobs and supply supporting host services. Question
              12 is asked only if you answer question 11 with Y.

              You can specify the Internet nodes and subnetworks that
              will be allowed or denied access to the PrintServer
              printer. This feature allows you to set up the printer
              to deny print jobs from Internet nodes and subnetworks,
              and to deny supporting host services from Internet nodes
              and subnetworks.

                ________________________Note  ________________________

                When you restrict access to the PrintServer printer,
                you restrict supporting host services, such as
                configuration services, as well as print jobs.

                _____________________________________________________

              To set up Internet access restrictions, you must provide
              the following lists:

              o  Internet addresses for individual nodes or subnet masks
                 for subnetworks that will be allowed to access the
                 PrintServer printer.

              o  Internet addresses for individual nodes or subnet
                 masks for subnetworks that will be denied access to
                 the PrintServer printer.

              Refer to the DEC PrintServer Supporting Host Software for

        3.5 Editing the System Startup File

              To set up your node as a PrintServer supporting host each
              time you boot your system, edit the system startup file:

              $ EDIT SYS$STARTUP:SYSTARTUP_V5.COM

              Add the following command near the end of the file. Make
              sure that the command line to start the DECnet facility
              precedes this entry.

              $ @SYS$STARTUP:LPS$STARTUP_SERVICES

              One node in a VAXcluster configuration can act as the
              PrintServer supporting host node. If the cluster does
              not have a node-specific startup file, you can insert the
              following code in the clusterwide SYS$STARTUP:SYSTARTUP_
              V5.COM file:

              $ !Find the node on which the startup file is running
              $ !
              $ cluster_member = F$GETSYI("NODENAME")
              $ !
              $ ! Test to see if the node is the Supporting Host
              $ !
              $ if "''cluster_member'" .eqs. "supporting-host-node-name"
              $ then
              $ @SYS$STARTUP:LPS$STARTUP_SERVICES
              $ endif

                           Configuring the Supporting Host Software 3-19

 






           The supporting-host-node-name is the name of the
           supporting host node.

              ________________________Note ________________________

              Enclose the name of the supporting host within
              quotation marks.

              _____________________________________________________

           The command file sets up the supporting host logical names
           LPS$SUPPORT and LPS$ROOT and starts the management client
           for each PrintServer printer you have set up. The code
           calls LPS$STARTUP_SERVICES for the cluster member on which
           you want to run the management client.

           If you specify a second management client process on a
           node or cluster, the following error message is displayed:

           LPS$START_DAEMON: Management client already exists for PrintServer IMPALA.

                ________________________Note  ________________________

                If you are upgrading the PrintServer supporting
                host software from a previous version, you must
                remove any remaining command line in the system
                startup file for starting older versions of the
                supporting host software. Remove the line that
                calls LPS$NETSETUP.COM. Perform additional cleanup
                procedures as described in Section 3.6.

                _____________________________________________________

        3.6 Upgrading PrintServer Software

              This section contains information about procedures you
              should perform if this installation is a software upgrade.
              If you are installing the PrintServer supporting host
              software on this system for the first time, go directly to
              Section 3.7.

        3.6.1 Deleting Files from Older Versions

              When you upgrade from an older version of the PrintServer
              supporting host software, delete the obsolete files from
              your system. After you run LPS$ADD_PRINTSERVER.COM, run
              the following command procedure as shown in this example:

              $ @SYS$UPDATE:LPS$DELETE_OLD_LPS.COM

              After the command file has executed, you can delete it.

                ________________________Note  ________________________

                Delete obsolete files only after the LPS$ADD_
                PRINTSERVER procedure has been run.

                _____________________________________________________

        3.6.2 Removing Proxy Access

              Previous versions of the supporting host software used
              proxy access to the LPS$SERVER account. DEC PrintServer
              Supporting Host Software for VMS Version 4.0 does not
              require proxy access. If this installation of the software
              is an upgrade, remove proxy access to the LPS$SERVER
              account for each PrintServer printer to be booted from
              this supporting host.

                           Configuring the Supporting Host Software 3-21

 






           To remove proxy access, enter the following commands:

           $ SET DEFAULT SYS$SYSTEM
           $ MCR AUTHORIZE

           Enter the following command for each printer:

           UAF> REMOVE/PROXY printer-node-name::USER LPS$SERVER

           In this procedure, supply the DECnet node name of the
           printer in place of printer-node-name.

     3.7 Configuring Multiple Supporting Hosts

           The LPS$ADD_PRINTSERVER.COM procedure configures the
           supporting host software to provide boot and supporting
           host services to the PrintServer printer. The procedure
           creates default settings for the primary supporting host,
           allowing you to complete the configuration dialog.

           If your configuration requires multiple supporting hosts,
           you can configure the other supporting hosts to supply
           complete services or a subset of supporting host services.
           For example, you can configure a second support host to
           provide backup booting and management client services.
           For more information about the procedures for setting up
           multiple supporting hosts, refer to the DEC PrintServer
           Supporting Host Software for VMS Management Guide.

           The primary supporting host configured by the LPS$ADD_
           PRINTSERVER procedure uses default information for the
           following configuration specifics:

           o  The PrintServer printer name is set to the DECnet node
              name that you supply in response to question 1.

           o  Your response to question 6 determines both the ability
              of the PrintServer printer to provide accounting data
              and the ability of the supporting host to receive
              accounting data.

              If you answer question 6 with Y, the supporting host
              can provide accounting services and the PrintServer
              printer can send accounting data to any supporting host
              that is set up to provide accounting services.

     3-22 Configuring the Supporting Host Software

 






              o  Your response to question 7 determines both the
                 PrintServer printer's ability to provide event messages
                 and the supporting host's ability to record event
                 messages.

                 If you answer question 7 with Y, the supporting host is
                 configured to log event messages and the PrintServer
                 printer is configured to provide event messages to any
                 supporting host that is set up to provide event-logging
                 services.

                                         Booting the PrintServer Printer



              After the software is installed and the LPS$ADD_
              PRINTSERVER.COM procedure has been run to start the
              management client, you can boot the printer. The following
              procedures are described in this chapter:

              o  The procedure for selecting the boot protocol for
                 booting a PrintServer 20 is described in Section 4.1.

              o  The boot process for the PrintServer 20 and turbo
                 PrintServer 20 printers is described in Section 4.2.

              o  The boot process for the PrintServer 40 and PrintServer
                 40 Plus printers is described in Section 4.3.

              o  The procedure for determining and reporting problems
                 with your PrintServer printer is described in
                 Section 4.4.

              When the PrintServer printer is booted, the following
              events occur in the following order:

              1. The PrintServer printer is booted from a VMS supporting
                 host node. (To boot the PrintServer from an ULTRIX
                 supporting host node, set up the DEC PrintServer
                 Supporting Host Software for ULTRIX, as described in
                 DEC PrintServer Supporting Host Software for ULTRIX
                 Installation Guide.)

              2. A PrintServer printer with a VMS supporting host node
                 can print jobs from ULTRIX and UNIX nodes. To provide
                 this capability, supply the Internet address and subnet
                 mask in the LPS$ADD_PRINTSERVER.COM file, as described
                 in Section 3.4.

           3. A management client process is started to provide
              the configuration and secondary image files, and,
              optionally, the defaults, start page, resource, and
              setup files.


     4.1 Selecting the Boot Protocol on the PrintServer 20 Printer

           The PrintServer supporting host software can accept print
           jobs from print clients on the same Ethernet network.
           Either the DECnet or the Internet network protocol can be
           used. To provide access to the printer from DECnet nodes,
           the PrintServer is booted with the Digital maintenance
           operation protocol (MOP) services. If the Internet address
           and subnet mask are provided in the LPS$ADD_PRINTSERVER
           procedure, as described in Section 3.4, the node booted
           using MOP can also print jobs from Internet nodes on the
           Ethernet. All types of PrintServer printers can be booted
           using the MOP service.

           The PrintServer 20 and turbo PrintServer printers can be
           booted using either MOP or the Internet Bootstrap Protocol
           (BOOTP).

              ________________________Note ________________________

              A PrintServer printer that is booted with BOOTP can
              only accept print jobs from Internet nodes. DECnet
              nodes cannot print jobs on a PrintServer printer
              booted using BOOTP, because BOOTP does not transmit
              DECnet node addresses.

              _____________________________________________________

           For the turbo PrintServer 20 printer, boot protocol
           selection is automatic. However, for the PrintServer
           20 printer, select the boot protocol by setting the DIP
           switch in the printer controller firmware module.

           To check or set the DIP switch, open the operator panel
           and remove the panel covering the module card cage. Refer
           to your printer operator's guide for specific information.
           Locate the DIP switch on the left-center front edge of the
           lower module. The following illustration shows the switch
           position for the MOP protocol. Note that switch 4 is up.

              The following illustration shows the switch position for
              the BOOTP protocol. Note that switch 4 is down.

              After you check or set the switch, replace the module card
              cage panel and close the operator panel.

              Booting with the MOP protocol is described in Section 4.2.
              For information about booting using the BOOTP protocol,
              refer to the DEC PrintServer Supporting Host Software for
              ULTRIX Installation Guide.

        4.2 Booting the PrintServer 20 or turbo PrintServer 20 Printer

              After the postinstallation command procedure (LPS$ADD_
              PRINTSERVER.COM) is complete, you can boot the PrintServer
              printer. Use the following procedure to boot the
              PrintServer 20 or turbo PrintServer 20:

           z.z         is the large capacity input tray (LCIT)
                       firmware version number.

              ________________________Note ________________________

              If the diagnostic tests fail, the Ethernet hardware
              address and firmware version numbers are not
              displayed. Refer to Section 5.1 for troubleshooting
              procedures.

        4.3 Booting the PrintServer 40 and PrintServer 40 Plus Printers

              To boot the PrintServer 40 and PrintServer 40 Plus
              printers, press the power ON/OFF button on the printer
              to the OFF position and then to the ON position. Upon
              power-up, the PrintServer printer sends a boot request
              over the Ethernet network. The PrintServer printer should
              begin its boot sequence immediately.

              If the prompt (>>>) is displayed on the local console
              screen, the PrintServer printer was not installed to boot
              automatically. Enter the following boot command at the
              prompt:

              >>> B

              The supporting host that has the Ethernet hardware address
              of the PrintServer printer sends the load file to the
              PrintServer printer.

              The boot process proceeds and the load file LPS_
              PRINTSERVER40.SYS is loaded. After the .SYS file is
              loaded, the local console display shows the PrintServer
              type and "Waiting for Configuration" on the banner line.
              The remote console facility also displays this message.

              To observe the boot process from the remote console
              facility, enter the following command:

              $ MCR LPS$CONSOLE printer-node-name

              When the management client process has established a
              connection to the PrintServer printer, a message is
              displayed in the message portion of the console screen
              to indicate that the management client has made the
              connection. The banner line reads "Loading" and reflects
              the loading status.

              When the boot process is complete, the console screen
              banner line reads "Idle."

              When the banner line shows the Idle status, the PrintServer
              is ready to accept print jobs. If the boot process does
              not complete successfully, refer to Section 5.1 for
              troubleshooting procedures.

     5.1 PrintServer Printer Does Not Boot

           This section describes the procedures you can follow to
           determine whether the printer is booting and, if not, what
           the cause of the problem might be.

           o  For an overview of the boot process, refer to
              Section 5.2.

           o  To determine the cause of a problem with the boot
              process on your printer, see Section 5.3.

           This part of the manual includes procedures to help you
           check the following areas for possible problems:

           1. Check the system logical names, as described in
              Section 5.3.1.

           2. Check the network events to determine if the printer
              is sending a boot request to the supporting host, as
              described in Section 5.3.2.

           3. Check the remote console program to see if it can
              establish a connection to the printer, as described
              in Section 5.3.3.

           4. Check the hardware connections, as described in
              Section 5.3.4.

     5.2 Overview of the Boot Process

           Refer to Chapter 4 for complete instructions on booting
           PrintServer printers.

           To determine whether the primary bootstrap has completed,
           look at the PrintServer 20 series front panel (as
           described in Section 5.2.1) or the PrintServer 40 series
           local console terminal (as described in Section 5.2.2).

              ________________________Note ________________________

              The following displays use sample Ethernet ad-
              dresses, version numbers, and printer-specific model
              numbers. Messages on your display will reflect the
              information for your PrintServer printer.

              _____________________________________________________

     5-2 Troubleshooting Procedures

 






        5.2.1 PrintServer 20 Front Panel Display

              For the PrintServer 20 series, following the power-up
              diagnostics the front panel display looks like this:

              +------------------------+
              |  08-00-2B-0C-7E-8B     |
              |  1.1 1.2 1.1           |
              +------------------------+

              The first line contains the Ethernet hardware address of
              the PrintServer printer and the second line contains three
              pairs of numbers:

              o  The Digital controller firmware version number

              o  The print engine controller firmware version number

              o  The large capacity input tray firmware version number

              If the primary boot procedure fails, it is repeated and
              the following is displayed:

              +-----------------------+
              |  08-00-2B-0C-48-EE    |
              |  1501.0001            |
              +-----------------------+

              If your printer remains in this state for more than a
              minute, the printer is not booting. See the procedures in
              Section 5.3.

              If the front panel displays the following, the primary
              system image file has been successfully downline loaded to
              the printer, but the management client has not connected
              to the printer.

              +------------------------+
              |  08-00-2B-0C-7E-8B     |
              |VAXELN V4.2 LPS20       |
              +------------------------+

              In this case, go to Section 5.5.2 for procedures for
              diagnosing the problem.

                                          Troubleshooting Procedures 5-3

 






           However, if the management client has connected to the
           printer, the front panel display looks like this:

           +------------------------+
           |VAXELN V4.2 LPS20       |
           | ....                   |
           +------------------------+

           The following executable files are loaded from the
           management client system:

           o  LPS_PCSI.EXE

           o  LPS_20VIDEO.EXE OR LPS_20DMA.EXE

           o  LPS_20PANEL.xxx, where xxx corresponds to the language
              selected for the panel display (see Section 3.3.9).

           o  LPS_PS20.EXE

           After the files have been downline loaded, the Digital
           copyright notice is displayed on the front panel for at
           least 15 seconds. The maximum time the copyright notice
           is displayed depends on how long it takes the remaining
           processes in the PrintServer system to be started.

     5.2.2 PrintServer 40 Local Console Display

           For the PrintServer 40 series printer, if the primary
           system image has been successfully downline loaded to the
           printer, the local console terminal briefly displays the
           following:

           Loading system software.

             2..
           -XQA0
             1..0..

           %VAXELN system initializing

                   VAXELN V4.2 LPS40

           The Digital copyright notice is then displayed on the
           local console terminal for at least 10 seconds. The
           maximum time the copyright notice is displayed depends
           on how long it takes the remaining processes in the
           PrintServer system to be started.

     5-4 Troubleshooting Procedures

 






        5.3 Procedure for Analyzing Problems in the Boot Process

              If the downline load of the primary system image does not
              successfully complete, proceed with the following steps.
              These steps help you gather information that might reveal
              the cause of the problem.

        5.3.1 Step 1 Check the Supporting Host Logical Names

              Certain logical names must be defined for your PrintServer
              printer to successfully boot. These logical names are
              defined by the command procedure SYS$STARTUP:LPS$STARTUP_
              SERVICES.COM. If one or both logical names have been
              deassigned or redefined, your printer will not be able
              to boot successfully. The logical names must be in the
              system logical name table.

              To verify that the logical names are defined correctly,
              log in to the supporting host system and enter the
              following command:

              $ SHOW LOGICAL/SYSTEM/FULL LPS$SUPPORT, LPS$ROOT

                 "LPS$SUPPORT" [EXEC] = "device-name:[LPS$SERVER]" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)

                 "LPS$ROOT" [EXEC] = "device-name:[LPS$SERVER.]" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)

              If the logical names are defined as above, go to
              Section 5.3.2.

              If the logical names are not defined as above, run the
              system startup procedure to define them. After you make
              changes to the logical names, reboot the printer. If
              the printer continues to fail during the boot process,
              check the network environment, as described in Step 2,
              Section 5.3.2.

        5.3.2 Step 2 Monitor Network Events

              When the printer issues boot requests but the supporting
              host never receives one, a network configuration problem
              may exist. You can monitor the network events to determine
              whether the supporting host is receiving boot requests.

           The following steps describe various network control
           program (NCP) parameters and the database where the
           parameters are stored. All the command examples that
           manipulate the parameters use the NCP SET command,
           which affects only the volatile database. You need OPER
           privilege in order to modify the volatile database.
           However, Digital recommends that all modifications that
           you make to the NCP parameters be stored in the NCP
           permanent database. To modify the permanent database you
           use the NCP DEFINE command. You need SYSPRV privilege in
           order to modify the permanent database. For additional
           information regarding NCP commands, enter the following:

           $ MCR NCP HELP

           For more information about NCP, refer to the VMS Network
           Control Program Manual.

           To investigate network events, follow the steps listed in
           Table 5-2.

              After you have thoroughly investigated the network
              environment for the cause of your booting problem, try
              to reboot the printer. If the printer continues to fail
              during booting, go to Step 3, Section 5.3.3.

        5.3.2.1 Step NC-1: Check the NCP Database

              Check to see that the boot host has the correct entry for
              the PrintServer printer in the NCP database by entering
              the following command:

              $ MCR NCP SHOW NODE printer-node-name CHARACTERISTICS

              The typical output from this command follows:

              $ MCR NCP SHOW NODE BULL36 CHARACTERISTICS

              Node Volatile Characteristics as of  8-JUN-1991 22:04:34

              Remote node =   62.114 (BULL36)

              Service circuit          = SVA-0
              Hardware address         = 08-00-2B-0C-7E-8B
              Load file                = LPS$ROOT:[SYS]LPS_PRINTSERVER20.SYS

              If any information is missing or is incorrect, make
              the necessary changes by running LPS$NETSETUP_V4.COM.
              If the NCP database continues to display incorrect
              information, the postinstallation data entered in the
              LPS$ADD_PRINTSERVER.COM procedure is incorrect. Be sure
              you have the correct service circuit name, DECnet node
              address, and Ethernet hardware address. Run the procedure
              as described in Section 3.4. Then reboot the printer.
              If the boot process continues to fail, go to Step NC-2,
              Section 5.3.2.2.

     5.3.2.2 Step NC-2: Check the Service Circuit

           Check the service circuit characteristics to be sure that
           service is enabled for the service circuit used to boot
           the PrintServer printer:

           $ MCR NCP SHOW CIRCUIT circuit-name CHARACTERISTICS

           In the NCP SHOW CIRCUIT command line, you supply circuit-

        5.3.2.3 Step NC-3: Enable Network Event Reporting

              Logging of network events from NCP is a two-step process:

              1. Select the events you want to display.

              2. Enable reporting of the selected events.

              Use the following command to find out what events are
              selected and whether event logging is enabled:

              $ MCR NCP SHOW LOGGING MONITOR

                                                       18-19
                                  (All sources)        5.0-18
                                  (All sources)        128.0-4

              If event logging of network activity has not been enabled,
              use the NCP SET LOGGING MONITOR command to select and
              enable reporting of events. For example:

              $ MCR NCP SET LOGGING MONITOR STATE ON

              You can supply an event number to monitor a particular
              type of event. For example:

              o  Use event number 0.3 to monitor automatic line service.

              o  Use event number 0.7 to monitor aborted service
                 requests.

              To select reporting of particular events, enter the
              following command:

              $ MCR NCP SET LOGGING MONITOR EVENT number

              To select reporting of all events, enter the following
              command:

              $ MCR NCP SET LOGGING MONITOR KNOWN

     5.3.2.4 Step NC-4: Check OPCOM Messages

           If OPCOM is running, the selected network events are
           reported on the system console and on any terminals that
           are appropriately enabled, as well as recorded in the
           SYS$MANAGER:OPERATOR.LOG file.

           To determine whether OPCOM is running, enter the SHOW
           SYSTEM command and look for a process named OPCOM. If
           there is no process by that name, start one by entering
           the following command:

           $ @SYS$SYSTEM:STARTUP OPCOM

           You need the SYSPRV privilege to successfully execute this
           command.

           Enter the following command to enable the display of
           network-related events:

           $ REPLY/ENABLE=NETWORK

           The following is an example of an OPCOM report for a
           successful load:

           $
           %%%%%%%%%%%  OPCOM   8-JUN-1991 18:06:02.17  %%%%%%%%%%%

              Ethernet address = 08-00-2B-0C-7E-8B

              Boot your PrintServer printer and check any resulting
              OPCOM messages. OPCOM software detects boot requests from
              the printer when:

              o  Network events are enabled

              o  The Ethernet hardware address for the PrintServer
                 printer is recorded in the NCP database

              When the OPCOM report indicates a "Load, Successful"
              status, the primary bootstrap operation has successfully
              completed.

              If the system receives no boot request from the printer,
              check the network configuration as described in Step NC-5,
              Section 5.3.2.5.

        5.3.2.5 Step NC-5: Check the Network Configuration

              Certain types of network bridges and routers can be
              configured to filter out boot request messages. Check
              with your network administrator to determine if there is
              a bridge or a router between the supporting host and the
              printer. If there is, you must make one of the following
              changes:

              o  Disable the filtering of boot request messages.

              o  Place the printer and the supporting host on the same
                 side of the bridge or router.

                ________________________Note  ________________________

                The first boot request message is sent to the
                Ethernet multicast address AB-00-00-01-00-00.

              configured to filter out messages sent to this
              multicast address.

              _____________________________________________________

           If you make a change to the network configuration, reboot
           the printer. If the printer does not boot, continue with
           Step NC-6, Section 5.3.2.6.

     5.3.2.6 Step NC-6: Determine Whether the Printer Booted

           If the OPCOM report shows an "aborted service request"
           message for your printer and indicates a device timeout,
           one of the following occurred:

           o  Another system on the network has serviced the boot
              request.

           o  The printer did not complete the primary bootstrap
              sequence.

           For example:

           $
           %%%%%%%%%%%  OPCOM   8-JUN-1991 18:09:33.41  %%%%%%%%%%%
           Message from user DECNET on NASDAQ
           DECnet event 0.7, aborted service request
           From node 55.499 (NASDAQ),  8-JUN-1991 18:09:33.37
           Circuit SVA-0, Line open error, Line communication error
           %SYSTEM-F-TIMEOUT, device timeout
           Node = 62.114 (BULL36), Ethernet address = 08-00-2B-0C-7E-8B

           To determine whether the primary bootstrap successfully
           completed, use the following NCP command:

           $ MCR NCP TELL printer-node-name SHOW EXECUTOR

           A typical response from a printer that has booted is shown
           in the following example:

           $ MCR NCP TELL BULL36 SHOW EXECUTOR

           Node Volatile Summary as of  8-JUN-1991 18:09:35.14

           Executor node = 62.114 (BULL36)

           State                    = on
           Identification           = VAXELN V4.2 LPS20

     5-12 Troubleshooting Procedures

 






              If the printer did not boot successfully, you see messages
              like the following:

              %NCP-F-CONNEC, unable to connect to listener
              -SYSTEM-F-UNREACHABLE, remote node is not currently reachable

              If these messages are displayed, the primary bootstrap did
              not successfully complete. Next, investigate the hardware
              connections, as described in Step 4, Section 5.3.4.

              If the Identification field indicates something other than
              VAXELN V4.2 LPSxx, where xx is either 20 or 40, the wrong
              file was downline loaded to the printer. Determine which
              system serviced the boot request and stop the booting from
              that system, as described in Step NC-7, Section 5.3.2.7.

        5.3.2.7 Step NC-7: Shut Down Remote Booting Services

              If you suspect another node of having serviced the boot
              request, you can use the following command to determine
              whether that system is set up to service boot requests
              from the printer printer-node-name.

              $ MCR NCP TELL node-name SHOW NODE printer-node-name CHAR

              Check the response to this command to see whether the
              node node-name is set up to service boot requests for the
              printer.

              If you suspect that the printer is being booted from
              another node, but you do not know which node is booting
              the printer, you can use the remote console facility to
              determine which system is booting the printer. Follow the
              procedure described in Step 3, Section 5.3.3.

              If you find such a system, contact the system manager
              to disable booting. To disable a system from answering
              boot requests for a particular printer, use the following
              command on the responsible system:

              $ MCR NCP CLEAR NODE printer-node-name HARDWARE ADDRESS

              After you shut down booting services at remote supporting
              hosts, try to reboot the printer. If the bootstrap fails
              again, go to Step 4, Section 5.3.4.

                                         Troubleshooting Procedures 5-13

 






     5.3.3 Step 3 Check the Remote Console (LPS$CONSOLE) Connection

           It is possible that the printer has been successfuly
           booted by a system other than your intended primary
           supporting host. You can use the remote console facility
           to determine the booting host.

           To run the remote console program, enter the following
           command:

           $ MCR LPS$CONSOLE printer-node-name

           If the remote console program is unsuccessful in
           connecting to the printer, it is possible that the printer
           did not boot successfully. Check the hardware connections,
           as described in Step 4, Section 5.3.4.

           When the remote console program connects to the printer,
           it creates a window on the terminal and displays a prompt
           on the third line. You can determine which system booted
           the printer by entering the following remote console
           command:

           LPS> configuration

           The response to this command includes the boot host, which
           contains the name and network address of the system that
           serviced the printer boot request.

           When the boot host field contains the name and network
           address of the system that you want to service boot
           requests for this printer, you should be able to print
           files. If you cannot print files, go to Section 5.5.

           If the printer continues to fail to boot, check the hard-
           ware connections as described in Step 4, Section 5.3.4.

     5.3.4 Step 4 Check the Hardware Connections

           Check all the cables connecting the printer, the
           supporting host, and any network devices between them.
           If you make any changes, reboot the printer. If the boot
           operation still fails, call your Digital Customer Services
           representative.

     5-14 Troubleshooting Procedures

 






              Digital recommends that all PrintServer printers be
              connected to Ethernet segments that have transceivers that
              generate the collision presence test signal (heartbeat
              signal). If the signal is not present, the network driver
              logs collision detection check failures, even though no
              failures of this type occur.

              Depending on the type of transceiver on your network,
              check the following:

              o  If the PrintServer printer is connected to the network
                 using a DESTA ThinWire adapter (or equivalent device),
                 make sure the heartbeat signal on the DESTA is enabled.
                 For details on how to install the DESTA, see the DESTA
                 Installation Card (EK-DESTA-IN-001).

              o  If the PrintServer printer is connected to the network
                 using the standard multipair transceiver cable, be
                 sure that the transceiver connecting the printer
                 Ethernet segment to the Ethernet backbone generates
                 the heartbeat signal. The standard Digital transceiver
                 is the H4000.

        5.4 PrintServer Printer Boots and Crashes

              If the PrintServer printer boots and then crashes, run the
              power-up diagnostics again by power-cycling the printer.
              If the PrintServer printer continues to crash, call your
              Customer Services representative.

              Examine the log file LPS$SUPPORT:LPSLOG.printer-node-name
              for information about events that may have led up to the
              printer crash. (The procedure for displaying this file is
              described in Section 5.4.1.)

              When the printer crashes, one of the following occurs:

              o  For the PrintServer 20 and turbo PrintServer 20, the
                 following message is displayed on the front panel:

                 Reboot PrintServer




                                         Troubleshooting Procedures 5-15

 






           o  For the PrintServer 40 and PrintServer 40 Plus, the
              following message is displayed on the local console
              terminal:

              System shutdown complete - use console to halt system

           When you see this message, power-cycle the printer to
           reboot it.

           This kind of problem indicates one of the following system
           problems:

           o  Hardware deterioration occurred.

           o  The wrong files were downline loaded to the printer.

           o  Files are corrupted on disk or became corrupted in
              transmission.

           If a printer hangs or crashes, record all the information
           you have about the state of the printer before the
           crash (for example, a paper jam). Save a copy of the
           LPS$SUPPORT:LPSLOG.printer-node-name file.

           Also, try to get a copy of the file that was being printed
           at the time of the crash. This information helps in
           diagnosing problems. Report the problem to your Digital
           Customer Services representative.

     5.4.1 PrintServer Event Log File

           Printer messages are recorded in the LPS$SUPPORT:LPSLOG.printer-
           node-name file by the management client process running
           on the supporting host node. You can display this file
           using the TYPE command. If the management client is still
           running, the file is opened by the client and you will
           not be able to copy or print the file. You can close the
           current log file and open a new one, using the remote
           console newfile command. Alternatively, you can make a
           copy of the log file using the following command:

           $ CONVERT/SHARE LPSLOG.printer-node-name LPSLOG.COPY

           If the LPS$SUPPORT:LPSLOG.printer-node-name file is not
           available, the management client sends information to the
           following log files:

              LPS$SUPPORT:LPSSERVICES_ERROR.printer-node-name

     5-16 Troubleshooting Procedures

 






                 LPS$SUPPORT:LPSSERVICES_OUTPUT.printer-node-name

              In order for the printer to send event messages to
              the management client, event logging must be enabled
              in the LPS$ADD_PRINTSERVER.COM procedure (refer to
              Section 3.3.7). Check the LPS$SUPPORT:LPSCONFIG.printer-
              node-name file for the line "Logging On." If the logging
              is not on, run SYS$MANAGER:LPS$CONFIG.COM and say Yes to
              the event-logging question.

           lps$services.exe;18  Jun 11 17:55:33:  Start management session 1
           11-JUN-1991 17:56:49 Load complete 2

           may be changed
           17-JUN-1991 17:59:35 Session 1 (LAPS-connect@PRINCE) connect 4

           The messages in this example indicate the following:

           1  This message records when the management client starts
              a session on the PrintServer printer.

           2  This message shows that the secondary boot files have
              been loaded successfully.

           3  These messages show files being loaded outside the
              PostScript server loop, namely:

              o  LPSDEFAULTS.printer-node-name

              o  LPS_ANSI_PROLOGUE.PS

              o  LPSSETUP.printer-node-name

              If the resource-loading file contains additional files
              to be loaded at boot time, there will be additional
              "exitserver" messages.

           4  This message indicates the successful connection of the
              first print client.

     5.5 PrintServer Printer Boots but Never Becomes Idle

           When the management client has booted the PrintServer
           printer, the remote console facility and the local console
           terminal of the PrintServer 40 series printers display the
           state of the printer in the upper right-hand corner of the
           display in the banner line. When the state of the printer
           is displayed as Idle, the printer is ready to print.

                ________________________Note  ________________________

                When you need to determine the state of the
                PrintServer 20 series printer, ignore the messages
                on the printer front panel. In particular, ignore
                the Ready message; this does not necessarily
                indicate that the printer is ready to print. For
                an accurate report on the state of the printer, run
                the remote console program.

                _____________________________________________________

              To run the remote console program, enter the following
              command:

              $ MCR LPS$CONSOLE printer-node-name

              The remote console program is described in the DEC
              PrintServer Supporting Host Software for VMS Management
              Guide.

        5.5.1 Printer States

              The following is a list of printer states and how to
              respond to them:

              o  If the printer status indicates "Waiting for con-
                 figuration," the printer has not yet received a
                 connection from a management client that is offering
                 the configuration service. In this case, proceed to
                 Section 5.5.2.

              o  If the printer status indicates "Loading," the printer
                 has received a connection from a management client
                 that is offering the configuration service and is
                 downline loading the files to start up the printer.
                 When the files have been loaded successfully, the
                 console screen displays "Load Complete." If this
                 message does not appear in a short while, examine
                 the LPS$SUPPORT:LPSLOG.printer-node-name file to see
                 whether any problems were recorded.

                ________________________Note  ________________________

                The length of time required to load the secondary
                image files depends on the PrintServer printer type

              and the current network traffic load, but typically
              this procedure should take less than 5 minutes.

              _____________________________________________________

           o  If the printer status indicates "Processing internal
              job," the printer has received a connection from a
              management client that is offering the configuration
              service, has loaded the secondary image files, and is
              sending PostScript files to the printer's PostScript
              interpreter. These files include the defaults file,
              setup file, and resource files that are specified in
              the resource-loading file. The printer may remain in
              this state for several minutes while these files are
              being loaded. If additional resources are specified
              in the LPS$RESOURCES.printer-node-name file, this time
              delay is increased.

              If the printer remains in this state, check the printer
              event log file LPS$SUPPORT:LPSLOG.printer-node-name for
              related messages.

           You can respond to any other state that persists by
           looking for related events in the printer event log file.

     5.5.2 Investigating and Solving Management Client Problems

           The following procedure helps determine the reason that
           the management client does not make a connection to
           the PrintServer printer. Before proceeding, make sure
           the postinstallation procedure has been done and the
           information supplied in this procedure is correct. This
           procedure is documented in Section 3.4.

           The steps for analyzing management client problems are
           listed in Table 5-3.

        5.5.2.1 Step MC-1: Check That Configuration Services Are
                Provided

              Make sure that the -C configuration option is included in
              the
              LPS$SUPPORT:LPSOPTIONS.printer-node-name file. This option
              enables the management client to provide configuration
              services (that is, the management client can downline load
              all files required by the PrintServer printer during the
              boot process).

              If configuration services are not enabled, enable them by
              running
              SYS$MANAGER:LPS$OPTIONS.COM from the system manager
              account and saying Yes to the question about configuration
              services.

     5.5.2.2 Step MC-2: Check the Management Client (LPS$SERVICES)
             Status

           Enter the following command to check the status of the
           LPS$SERVICES process:

           $ SHOW SYSTEM

           In the output from this command, look for a process named
           LPS_printer-node-name. For example:

           $ SHOW SYSTEM

           VAX/VMS V5.3  on node NASDAQ   8-JUN-1991 21:42:27.90   ...

           ...

              ________________________Note ________________________

              In this example, output lines containing other
              processes have been removed and the output lines
              have been truncated (indicated by ellipses) to fit
              on one line.

              _____________________________________________________

           If there is no process by this name on your system, you
           can start one. Enter the following command to start the
           client:

           $ @SYS$MANAGER:LPS$START_DAEMON printer-node-name

           As described in Section 3.5, ensure that the manage-
           ment client will be started automatically whenever
           the supporting host is rebooted by executing the
           SYS$STARTUP:LPS$STARTUP_SERVICES.COM procedure from the
           system startup file. The LPS$STARTUP_SERVICES procedure
           starts a management client for every printer for which it
           can find an LPS$SUPPORT:LPSOPTIONS.printer-node-name file.

           After you start the management client, enter the SHOW
           SYSTEM command. If the process does not exist, ensure that
           you are specifying the correct node name as defined in the
           NCP database.

     5-22 Troubleshooting Procedures

 






              Ensure that the accounting, logging, and configuration
              files are available.

              Look in the LPS$SUPPORT:LPSLOG.printer-node-name file for
              related messages (see Section 5.4.1).

        5.5.2.3 Step MC-3: Determine Whether the Management Client Has
                Connected

              If you are sure that the management client is running,
              use the remote console facility to determine its current
              state. When the banner line contains the message "Waiting
              for configuration," the management client has not yet
              connected to the printer. An example of such a banner line
              for a PrintServer 20 follows:

              PrintServer 20 () Privs Disabled            Waiting for configuration

              If the banner line does not contain this message, the
              printer may already be configured. To determine whether
              the printer has been configured, enter the configuration
              command at the remote console terminal or the local
              console terminal on the PrintServer 40 series printers.
              If the Configuration host field contains the name of the
              configuration host, the printer has been configured and
              the configuration host will downline load the rest of the
              files.

              Verify that the other fields have the expected values. If
              not, check the contents of the LPS$SUPPORT:LPSCONFIG.printer-
              node-name file. After changing this file, reboot the
              printer.

        5.5.2.4 Step MC-4: Restart the Management Client

              If the management client has been running for some time
              without being able to connect to the printer, it executes
              a backoff algorithm to reduce the frequency of attempts
              to connect to the printer. Instead of waiting for the
              management client to make its next attempt to connect, you
              can stop and restart the management client, resetting the
              backoff time to zero. To stop and restart the management
              client, enter the following commands:

              $ @SYS$MANAGER:LPS$STOP_DAEMON printer-node-name
              $ @SYS$MANAGER:LPS$START_DAEMON printer-node-name

           Enter the SHOW SYSTEM command to make sure that the
           management client has started.

           If the management client still fails to connect, call your
           Digital Customer Services representative.

     5.6 PrintServer Printer Becomes Idle but Does Not Print

           If the PrintServer printer completes the primary
           bootstrap, receives a management connection, indicates
           that it is available for printing, but does not respond
           to print client connection requests (that is, nothing
           gets printed), the problem may be specific to the print
           client system. The following sections describe some of the
           problems that can prevent a print client from accessing
           the PrintServer printer.

     5.6.1 Internet Access Not Provided

           To provide printing services to clients using the Internet
           network, the LPS$SUPPORT:LPSCONFIG.printer-node-name file
           must include the Internet address and subnet mask for the
           printer (described in Section 3.3.11). This information is
           required to accept connections from management clients,
           remote console clients, and print clients that use the
           Internet transport protocol.

           For further details, refer to the DEC PrintServer
           Supporting Host Software for VMS Management Guide.

     5.6.2 Access Restriction Specified

           If you cannot print from a particular node, check
           to see if access to the node has been denied in the
           LPS$SUPPORT:LPS$CONFIG.printer-node-name file. You
           can obtain this information using the remote console
           permissions command. If access restrictions prevent
           printing, the following message is displayed on the remote
           console screen:

           Connection from node-address denied access




     5-24 Troubleshooting Procedures

 






              In this message, node-address is the DECnet address of
              the print client node that cannot print. This message
              is also recorded in the printer event log file. In
              this case, you can correct the problem by running
              SYS$MANAGER:LPS$CONFIG.COM and answer No to the question
              about access restrictions. If you make a change using
              LPS$CONFIG, issue the reconfigure command from the remote
              console program for the changes to take effect.

              DECnet or Internet access restrictions are specified
              in the postinstallation procedure as described in
              Section 3.3.10 and Section 3.3.12 respectively.

        5.6.3 Print Queues Not Set Up

              A print queue must be set up for the PrintServer printer
              on the print client system, to allow a user on that system
              to access the printer. Print queues are usually created at
              the time the print client software is installed. Refer to
              the appropriate print client documentation for procedures
              for setting up print queues (refer to Section 1.1).

              If you still cannot print on your PrintServer printer,
              contact your Digital Customer Services representative.

              Example C-1 illustrates the postinstallation procedure for
              configuring the supporting host software. This procedure
              is documented in Section 3.4.

        Example C-1 Sample Postinstallation

        system>> @LPS$ADD_PRINTSERVER

        This command procedure sets up this supporting host to provide booting
        and configuration services for the PrintServer printer you specify.
        The following actions occur automatically as a result of running this
        command file:

                1) the PrintServer's booting information is defined in the
                   network database
                2) the PrintServer's configuration, defaults and resource
                   data files are created
                3) the management client's options file is created
                4) a management client process is started that provides configuration
                   services to the PrintServer

        The command procedure will prompt you for the information it needs to
        perform the steps listed above.

                                        *****NOTE*****

                                 Obtaining the Ethernet Hardware Address



              The LPS$ADD_PRINTSERVER.COM procedure for setting up
              the supporting host software requires you to supply the
              Ethernet hardware address for the PrintServer printer. If
              this information has not already been made available, you
              can obtain the Ethernet hardware address from the printer.

              o  The PrintServer 20 and turbo PrintServer 20 printers
                 have a front panel display from which you can obtain
                 the Ethernet hardware address. Refer to Section D.1
                 for the procedure for obtaining the Ethernet hardware
                 address from a PrintServer 20 or a turbo PrintServer 20
                 printer.

              o  The PrintServer 40 and the PrintServer 40 Plus have
                 a console terminal that you can use to obtain the
                 Ethernet hardware address. Refer to Section D.2 for the
                 procedure for obtaining the Ethernet hardware address
                 of the PrintServer 40 or PrintServer 40 Plus printer.

        D.1 PrintServer 20 or turbo PrintServer 20 Ethernet Hardware
            Address

              The PrintServer 20 and turbo PrintServer 20 printers have
              a two-line digital display window on the front panel that
              displays messages. This window displays the sequence of
              events during the boot process, as well as the status of
              the printer at any given time.

              To determine the Ethernet hardware address for a
              PrintServer 20 or turbo PrintServer 20, perform the
              following steps:

              1. Complete the hardware installation.

              2. Turn the ON/OFF switch on the printer to the ON
                 position.

                             Obtaining the Ethernet Hardware Address D-1

 






              The printer begins its warm-up and power-up diagnostics
              sequence. The window displays a countdown sequence
              beginning with the number 9.

              The second line in this display represents the version
              number of the controller, the print engine, and the
              large capacity input tray (LCIT), respectively.

              The following example shows the contents of the window
              upon completion of the power-up diagnostics.

              +-----------------------+
              |  9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0  |
              |  1.1 1.2 1.1          |
              +-----------------------+

           3. When the countdown reaches the number 7, press Pause on
              the front panel of the printer. After a few minutes,
              the hardware address is displayed in the window in the
              format shown in the following example:

              +-----------------------+
              |  08-00-2B-0C-86-3F    |
              |  1.1 1.2 1.1          |
              +-----------------------+

              ________________________Note ________________________

              Pressing Pause halts the boot process only; the
              power-up diagnostics continue to run. This halt does
              not damage the printer. It gives you time to record
              the Ethernet hardware address and to complete the
              supporting host software installation.

              _____________________________________________________

           4. Record this address in the space provided in Table 3-1.

           5. Continue with the software installation procedures
              described in Chapter 3.





     D-2 Obtaining the Ethernet Hardware Address

 






        D.2 PrintServer 40 or PrintServer 40 Plus Ethernet Hardware
            Address

              The PrintServer 40 and PrintServer 40 Plus printers
              display messages on the local console terminal.

              If the printer's Ethernet hardware address is not readily
              available, you can determine it by placing the PrintServer
              in console mode and examining a series of Digital Ethernet
              Q-bus Network Adapter (DEQNA or DELQA) device registers.
              The PrintServer 40 uses a DEQNA and the PrintServer 40
              Plus uses a DELQA.

              The Halt switch on the back panel of the MicroVAX CPU
              must be set to the Enabled (on) position. Refer to the
              printer installation guide for instructions on setting
              this switch.

              To determine the Ethernet hardware address for a
              PrintServer 40 or PrintServer 40 Plus printer, perform
              the following steps:

              1. If the printer console does not display the >>> prompt,
                 press the power ON/OFF button on the PrintServer
                 printer to the OFF position and then to the ON
                 position.

              2. At the >>> prompt, enter the following command:

                 >>> E/P/W/N:5 20001920

                 The system displays six output strings of the form P
                 2000192x FFyy. For example:

                 P  20001920  FF08
                 P  20001922  FF00
                 P  20001924  FF2B
                 P  20001926  FF02
                 P  20001928  FFD4
                 P  2000192A  FFC3

                 >>>

                 The last two characters of each output string (yy),
                 when joined consecutively and separated by hyphens,
                 form the PrintServer Ethernet hardware address.

                             Obtaining the Ethernet Hardware Address D-3

 






              The hardware address in this example is 08-00-2B-02-D4-
              C3.

           3. Record the address in the space provided in Table 3-1.

              ________________________NOTE ________________________

              Return the Halt switch on the MicroVAX back panel
              to the Disabled (off) position after obtaining the
              Ethernet hardware address.
