4.5.3 Host Limit
The Set/Define Server Host Limit command is used to set the number of remote TCP/IP hosts for which
the Server will store information. In large network environments, this will keep Server network overhead
down. The host limit applies only to hosts that were not explicitly set in the host table (for example, hosts
seen using rwho).

4.6 Creating Services
A service is any resource that can be accessed locally or via the network. For example, a host is a service
to which terminals can connect. The Server can offer its attached devices to the network as services.A
Lantronix service is also known as a remote printer name or remote queue name on many operating systems.
When you try to modify a service that already exists, the command will simply change its characteristics. If
the service does not exist yet, the server assumes you want to create that service. The Server will only print
an error message if you try to remove a service that does not exist. Connections and queueing are enabled
by default whenever you create a service.
If you are new to setting up services, you might want to try using the simple service in Figure 4-14 using a
terminal as the print device. You can then connect locally to the service and see if typed characters are
displayed on the terminal. Characters typed on the service terminal should also be sent to the original port.
If it seems to be working properly, you can try using a real print device and configure the port accordingly.
Recall that you will need to use the <Break> key or your port’s local key (see the Set/Define Port Local
command) to return to the command line from a service connection.

The EPS models generally come with preconfigured services for the serial port and parallel port(s). The
service names are based on the last six digits of the unit’s Ethernet address. Unlike services created via the
command line, these preconfigured services have NetWare enabled and LAT disabled. And unlike the
services set by the user, the preconfigured serial port service has AppleTalk enabled by default. These
settings may be changed.
Note: The EPS1 and MPS models have no method of connecting to a local service; the
service must be tested from another LAT, TCP, NetWare, or AppleTalk node.
The EPS4 and MPS models have three unique default printing services: one for text (xPS_xxxxxx_TEXT),
one for PostScript (xPS_xxxxxx_PS), and one for Binary/PCL (xPS_xxxxxx_PCL).
Note: For more information on the available preconfigured and default services, see
the Services chapter of your Installation Guide.
