Common Controller 1-1
1. Introduction
The System Guide provides the information needed to perform
system administration tasks for configuring and maintaining the
Xerox Document Services Platform (DocuSP) for printing
systems.
About this guide
This guide is intended for Network and System Administrators
responsible for setting up and maintaining Xerox printers with
DocuSP software. Users should have an understanding of the
Sun workstation and be familiar with Solaris and basic UNIX
commands. This includes the use of text editors such as vi or
textedit and the ability to maneuver within the Solaris
environment. The System Administrator is expected to have a
working knowledge of Local Area Networks (LANs),
communication protocols, and the applicable client platforms to
assist them in a customer site setup.
Contents
In general, this document covers information about the DocuSP
that is not covered in the on-line help or other available guides.
The following list describes the contents of this guide:
• Simple Network Management Protocol Configuration (SNMP)
• Backup and Restore
• Security and Network Setup
•Printing
• Finishing
•Fonts
• Accounting and Billing
• Troubleshooting

Introduction System Guide
1-2 Common Controller
• Hints and Tips
Conventions
This guide includes the following conventions
• Angle brackets - Variable information that is displayed on
your screen is enclosed within angle brackets; for example,
“Unable to copy <filename>.”
• Square brackets - Names of options you select are shown in
square brackets; for example, [OK] and [Cancel].
• Notes are hints that help you perform a task or understand
the text. Notes are found in the following format:
NOTE: This is an example of a note.

• Xerox documentation and software services: 1-800-327-9753

Common Controller 2-1
2. Gateway Configuration
Setting up the HTTP and SNMP gateways cannot be
accomplished through the graphical user interface and must be
set using the gwConfig utility through a UNIX Terminal window.
The IPP gateway is configured using the DocuSP interface.
Internet Services (HTTP) Gateway Configuration
Perform the following to configure the HTTP gateway:
1. Start the configuration utility. Type ./ gwConfig.
NOTE: Refer to the instructions in the section, IPP Gateway
Configuration for information about starting the configuration.
2. Perform the following to set up the Internet Services (HTTP)
Gateway:
Enter the name of the gateway to be configured: Internet
Services
Configure the Internet Services Gateway? [Y/N] y
Enter name: Value data
Printer URL: http://<controller name>.<domain
name>.com
NOTE: Use the IP address of the controller if there is no
domain name. For example, http://52.126.255.255.com
3. A confirmation message of the entered value displays.
Confirm that the entry is correct and enter yfor yes.
4. Continue with this process for every value to be configured.
5. When all of the desired values have been configured, press
<Enter> at the Enter Name: [Value Data line].
6. When asked to accept the values and update the
configuration, enter y for yes.
7. The configuration utility exits.

Gateway Configuration System Guide
2-2 Common Controller
8. When complete, close the Terminal window and select
System, Restart on the DocuSP user interface.
IPP Gateway Configuration
Perform the following to configure the IPP Gateway.
1. On the DocuSP Controller, open a new terminal window and
login as root
2. Type csh and press <Enter>.
3. Type cd /opt/XRXnps/XRXipp
4. Display a list of the directory contents by typing ls. The file
gwConfig should be displayed.
5. Type ./gwConfig and press <Enter>.
6. The gateways that may be configured are: SNMP Gateway,
Internet Services, and IPP Gateway.
If necessary, make the terminal window large enough to
display the list while configuring each value desired.
The only value necessary for the IPP and Internet Services
Gateways is the Printer URI value.
7. Answer the following questions with the information supplied
as follows:
• Enter the name of the gateway to be configured: IPP
Gateway
• Configure the IPP Gateway? [Y/N] y
• Enter name: Value data
• Printer URL: http://something.com:631/servlet/
IPPServlet.IppPrinter
NOTE: The text "something.com" is the server name and
domain name of the DocuSP controller on which you are
configuring the gateway. For example, server name.domain
name. If no domain name is used, enter the IP address of the
controller without the .com. For example, http://
52.126.255.255:631/servlet/IPPServlet.IppPrinter.
8. Continue with the above process for every value to be
configured.
9. When all of the desired values have been configured, press
<Enter>

Common Controller 2-3
10.When asked to accept the values and update the
configuration, enter y for yes.
The configuration utility exits.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Configuration
To configure the SNMP configuration, follow the instructions for
configuring the HTTP Gateway in the previous section.
SNMP provides you with the status of network devices. If you are
familiar with SNMP manager, you may want to configure the
SNMP gateway using gwConfig and the information that follows.
NOTE: SNMP requires a standard FlexLm license. The System
Administrator must enable SNMP in License Manager.
Xerox recommends the following third–party SNMP software
mangers:
• IBM Network Printer Manager (NT)
• TNG Unicenter (NT)
• HP OpenView (UNIX, NT)
• Xerox CentreWare (UNIX, NT)
NOTE: The SNMP manager (HP OpenView) may have a
number of requests into DocuSP for information. Some of the
requested information may not be a supported data set on
DocuSP. Therefore, the SNMP client/manager displays "no
value...etc".
NOTE: You can have more than one SNMP manager running at
the same time.

Printer and job messages
SNMP can broadcast messages about the printer and the jobs
on the system. Printer messages may announce that the printer
is idle, printing, or out of paper. Job messages announce that
jobs are pending, processing, or completed. Other job related
information may include the job owner’s name, the job quantity,
the job identifier, etc.
NOTE: ”Forwarding” is not a job state that is broadcast by the
controller; therefore, job forwarding information will not be
displayed by the SNMP job managers.
The information that is displayed at an SNMP Manager may not
always reflect the exact status of a job or printer on the DocuSP
Controller. Those Managers that do not support loading of
Management Information Bases (MIBs) will only display the
printer and job status that they support.
SNMP MIB Support

Management Interface (XCMI) version 4.0. The following lists the

NDS Setup
When using Novell Netware, a preferred server needs to be set
for environments where there is more than one server on the
network. If you are running NDS in an environment with more
than one NDS server, to ensure optimal operation, you should
specify a preferred server. To do this, perform the following steps
(you will need to know your NDS Tree, Context, and Preferred
Server Names):
1. Type su root and enter password when you are prompted.
2. Type cd /opt/XRXnps/XRXnwqsgw/bin/.
3. Type ./QServerSetup and select the return key.
4. Select the appropriate option:
• If there is already an existing NDS QServer Setup that
you wish to add a Preferred server name to, select choice
2.
• If you are creating a new NDS QServer Setup with a
preferred server name, select choice 1.
5. Select choice 4 to list the current setups to make sure your
preferred server was added successfully.
6. Restart the DocuSP software.
NOTE: If logging is enabled, you can check /opt/XRXnps/log/
QServer.Debug.Log to make sure that connection is made with
the Preferred server. Ensure that jobs can be submitted from
Netware and properly received and printed.
