Changing the password

Printer configuration using NWSET

Use this procedure to perform a quick configuration using the default parameters supplied by NWSET. Before beginning this procedure, make sure that the printer is connected to the network and turned on.

  1. Start NWSET:

    1. Change (CD) to the directory that contains NWSET.EXE. For example, if NWSET.EXE is in F:PUBLIC, type:

      F:
      CD PUBLIC

    2. Type:

    NWSET

  2. Pull down the Select A Printer menu to display the list of available Tektronix printers and select the Tektronix printer you wish to configure. The factory default print server name is in the following syntax:

    TEKxxxxxx

    where xxxxxx is the last six hex digits of the printer's Printer ID.


    Note: If the printer does not appear in the list of available printers, you could have a network hardware problem or an incorrect frame type (see
    Printer does not appear in NWSET).
  3. When you have selected a Tektronix printer, a dialog box is displayed. Enter your user name and password.


    Note: If you are already logged in to another printer, you will be prompted to log off before logging on to the new printer.
  4. Select the Quick Configuration menu; the Settings dialog box is displayed. Fill in the parameters for the printer by clicking on the settings to be made.

    The settings listed in the following table are required; other settings are optional:

    Parameter Setting
    Connection Mode

    Bindery

    Primary File Server

    The name of the file server you configured using PCONSOLE

  5. When you have the settings the way you want them, select Apply/Reset Print Server to enter the settings into the printer.

  6. Select Exit to exit NWSET. The printer should now be ready to start printing; if not, refer to Troubleshooting DOS configurations.

Changing the print server name or password

If you change the Print Server name on the printer using NWSET, you must use PCONSOLE to change the print server name on every file server to be used by that printer.


Note: In NWSET, if a password was set previously, the old password is not displayed in the Login Password dialog box. To change the password, you must enter the old password and the new password.
