Using the Server Show Ports Show Protocols Show Queue Show Server Show Services Show SNMP Show Users Show Version Status Displays Shows the current setup of your port. Settings such as flow control, parity, default preferred hosts, and username are shown, as well as enabled settings. The display will also show printer status: either on-line and ready to accept jobs, or in a non-ready state such as ACK, Busy, or Error. Shows an overall view of the network protocol counters, unless a parameter is added to the command. Specifying one of the following protocols shows detailed information on that protocol: AppleTalk, LAN Manager, LAT, NetWare, or TCP/IP. Users can also display which protocols are currently enabled using the Enabled keyword. In addition, users can request information on Counters and Queues. Shows the jobs currently waiting in the Server's print queue(s). Shows the state of the Server, including hardware and software addresses, LAT timers, session and queue limits, and so on. There are also available counters (network events), status (active users, ports, and services), and boot (reloading information) displays. Shows the local and remote services that are available to your port, subject to any group restrictions that are in place (that is, you cannot see services that you are not eligible to connect to). Using the Local option instead of a service name shows only the services provided by this Server. The Characteristics option displays more detailed information on the service, such as its rating and groups. The Status option shows availability as well as the offering node. Shows the SNMP community names and access types. Displays the users on the Server. Each user is shown by name, along with his/ her port number and current connection status. Shows current operating characteristics of the targets. 6-3
