CrownAdmin 2 for UNIX/AIX Installation ============ CrownAdmin 2 allows you to configure your QMS printer and perform network operations on printers connected to Ethernet and Token-Ring networks. This readme file describes how to install CrownAdmin 2 for UNIX on an AIX system from a CD-ROM. >> Note: QMS provides CrownAdmin 2 software in several different media formats. If you require CrownAdmin 2 on some media other than CD-ROM, contact your QMS vendor for purchase information. You can also download CrownAdmin 2 via our World Wide Web Server at http://www.qms.com, our Bulletin Board at (334) 633-3632, or CompuServe at go qmsprint 1 Insert the CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive. >> Note: Some CD-ROM drives require that the disk be placed in a caddy before being inserted in the drive. Check your CD-ROM documentation for information. 2 Logon the UNIX system as root. 3 Go to the root directory by typing cd / 4 If you don't already have a CD-ROM mountpoint, create a root-level directory by typing mkdir /cdrom 5 Mount the CD-ROM file system by typing mount -o ro -v cdrfs device_filename /cdrom where device_filename is the complete pathname of the device file associated with the CD-ROM drive. If you're not sure of the pathname, check your AIX documentation. 6 Verify that the CD-ROM file system has been mounted by listing the contents of the directory: ls /cdrom The directory contains several subdirectories, including unix. 7 Change to the location where you want the CrownAdmin 2 directory to be created. >> Note: The directory in which crnadm.exe resides must be able to be mounted by all network nodes that need to access the printer. 8 Extract the files from the CD-ROM: tar xvf /cdrom/unix/crnadm2/aix/aix.tar This creates a crnadm directory containing CrownAdmin 2. 9 Unmount the CD-ROM file system: umount device_filename For device_filename, substitute the complete pathname of the device file associated with the CD-ROM drive. 10 Add the name of the directory containing crnadm (the directory in which you extracted the aix.tar file) to your path. 11 Refer to the "QMS CrownNet Setup Guide" to configure the CrownNet interface and the network. 12 Run CrownAdmin 2 by typing ./crnadm >> Note: See the on-line user's guide for more information on CrownAdmin 2 (from the Help menu in the main CrownAdmin 2 window choose Contents).
