The MIL-3000FTX print servers are configured by using the
FastManage suite of software, which is an SNMP management
tool. The MIL-3000FTX also supports SNMP MIB-II (RFCs
1213) and parallel/serial MIBs (RFCs 1318 and 1317).
1.3 Utilities
To make the units easier to manage, Digi supplies the
FastManage suite of software and the Advanced
Configuration Tool™ (ACT). FastManage is a windows-based
menu software application and ACT is a DOS-based menu
software application.
Configuration of devices can be done by using print utilities
on UNIX systems. Firmware upgrades of the flash EPROMs
can be done via network connections. Refer to the
FastPort
User’s Guide
for more information on these utilities.
1.4 The Next Step
Use this guide to physically setup FastPort. Then consult the
FastPort User’s Guide
for the latest software/firmware
installation information. Then refer to the
FastManage User’s
Guide
to configure FastManage for FastPort.
Note:
Chapter 3 in this document has FastManage information, but only as it
applies to this specific FastPort. Chapter 3, though, does not have any
specific instructions on the FastManage suite of software.
