Incoming Telnet is only possible if your MPS has an IP address configured. Incoming 
Telnet is enabled by default to allow TCP/IP connections. To change this setting, use the 
Define Server Incoming command described in the Command Reference chapter of the 
Print Server Reference Manual located on the CD-ROM.

Incoming logins do not prompt for a login password, so you may wish to disable them for 
security reasons. If it is undesirable to disable incoming logins, the MPS can be configured 
to prompt for a password with the Define Server Incoming Password Enabled command.

With few exceptions, you must create a service before you can configure print queues on 
the MPS. A service is a resource accessible to network hosts. A Lantronix service is also 
known as a remote printer name or remote queue name on many operating systems.

The following default services are available once the MPS100, LPS1-T, or LPS1-2 has 
booted: 

The default service names are based on the server name; therefore the server name must be 
no more than 13 characters. If you change the server name, the service names will change 
as well. For example, changing the server name from MPS_xxxxxx to BIOLAB will 
change the service names to BIOLAB_TEXTS1 and so on.

The default serial port services have the TCP/IP, NetWare, LAN Manager, and AppleTalk 
protocols enabled. Parallel port services have TCP/IP, NetWare, and LAN Manager 
enabled. LAT is disabled by default on all services provided by the MPS because many 
network managers object to the frequent LAT service announcements. AppleTalk is 
disabled on parallel port services because AppleTalk requires Bitronics mode, which is 
disabled by default.

If you need to modify a default service, see the Server Configuration chapter of the Print 
Server Reference Manual located on the CD-ROM.
