Product: Distinct Intranet ServersTopic: BOOTPLast updated: 3/1/2008
 
Q.: Is there a way to populate several BootP parameters at once? Is there a way to enter the parameters for say 500 devices an ini file?
A.: Yes there is an ini file called socket.ini, it's in the C:\Windows (or c:\winnt) folder. Locate the bootp section. Here's a piece of the file:

[BOOTP]
11:11:11:11:11:11=111.111.111.111,file,,
22:22:22:22:22:22=222.222.222.222,file2,,

the format of the record is
M<AC ADDRESS>=I<P ADDRESS>,F<ile name>,S<erial #>,k<ey code>

I'd suggest you create one or two records via the interface and add the additional ones into the .ini file, mimicking the existing records.

Note that the first two entries, MAC address and IP address are separated with a '=' sign rather than with a comma.

Q.: Can I disable the banner page from printing?
A.: Yes, you need to modify one entry in the LPD32.INI file, usually in the Windows directory, for each printer on which you wish to disable banner pages. For example if you have a printer called "Apple" modify the Header= entry to read 0 as shown here:


[Apple]
Header=0

Remember to shutdown the server before editing the file.
