Advanced
Configuration Using EPCONFIG
EPCONFIG is a command-line utility used by the supervisor for
configuring the Ethernet Cards network communication.
Because it configures higher-level operation, EPCONFIG is
probably used less frequently than EPSETUP, which installs the
print server and performs routine tasks such as adding or
deleting queues. EPSETUP is described earlier in this chapter.
EPCONFIG and EPSETUP perform some of the same tasks, such
as renaming the print server, changing the password, and setting
the queue polling time. When a task can also be performed with
EPSETUP, EPSETUP is usually the most convenient method.
The Ethernet Cards host printer must be turned on, and the
Ethernet Card must be connected to the network and installed
using EPSETUP prior to configuring with EPCONFIG.
With EPCONFIG, you can perform the following tasks:
Show current settings (SHOW)
Reset (reboot) the Ethernet Card (RESET)
Rename the print server (NN=)
Assign the print server password (NE=)
Turn configuration report printing on or off (RET=)
Set the print server queue polling time interval (T=)
Return the Ethernet Card to its factory default settings (VA)
