Command Shell Overview The Ethernet Interface comes with an in-depth command shell called "npsh." It allows you to manipulate objects like destinations, I/O ports, and models and provides monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities as well. npsh Access Methods There are many ways this command shell can be accessed. This includes: • built in HTML forms • a Telnet session from a TCP/IP host to the Ethernet Interface • a single remote shell command (i.e. rsh, rcmd, remsh) from a TCP/IP host Main npsh Command Prefixes All configurable commands either start with "store" or "set," troubleshooting commands usually start with "debug," and view commands start with "list." NOTE: If the "store" prefix is used, the Ethernet Interface must be repowered to make the changes take effect. Since "store" affects flash memory settings only, the print server must reset and read the new settings now in flash memory. NOTE: If the "set" prefix is used, a "save" command must be executed as well so that the new settings are retained after power cycles. Since "set" only affects the settings in memory, they will be lost after a power cycle unless they are saved to flash memory. Getting Command Help The Ethernet Interface command shell provides several online help tools. These include: "?" Command Command Prefixes Typing "?" when logged in to the command shell will produce a full listing of all commands available. Typing in the first portion of a command will produce an error message showing the correct syntax. For example, typing in "store tcpip" will produce a list of all commands that start with this prefix. 7-2 Commands
