Before Installation
We recommend writing down the following parameters from the Setup
Section in Chapter 2. Refer to them during the installation procedure.
The printer server is capable of operating as a PSERVER, RPRINTER or
simultaneously as both. Choose the best configuration to meet your needs.
Using the Emulex printer server as a Novell Print Server (PSERVER):
• replaces the need for a dedicated Novell PSERVER
• provides faster throughput than using the printer server as an RPRINTER
operating through a Novell PSERVER
• occupies one user slot per attached file server
• supports encrypted or unencrypted passwords
Using the Emulex printer server as a Novell Remote Printer (RPRINTER):
• requires a Novell PSERVER module somewhere on the network
• provides slower throughput than using the printer server as a PSERVER
• occupies one user slot
• uses the PSERVER module to handle passwords

Configure as PSERVER - NetWare 4.xx
With the release of NetWare 4.xx, NetWare Discovery Services (NDS) has
replaced the bindery as a repository of resource information. Configuration
for PSERVER varies for bindery emulation and NDS. Please refer to the
appropriate section to configure Pserver.
When Novell NetWare is configured to use the Emulex printer server:
• Up to 128 file servers (default is 16) may service the printer server, with
a maximum of 256 queues.
NOTE: NDS objects can also be defined and administrated
using NetWare Administrator™ in Windows and
NetAdmin
™
in DOS environments.
3-6 Chapter 3
NDS Mode Requirements
• Printer objects must be in the same context as the Pserver object which
references the printer objects.
• Define only one Pserver object for each Emulex printer server.
• The Public trustee, created by default during NetWare 4.1 installation,
must exist on the root of the NDS tree.
• Spaces and trailers in the NDS tree name will be converted to
underscores to form a 32 byte field length.

Logging into the Printer Server
You can log into the printer server remotely from a Novell workstation using
the TES terminal emulation program and the Kermit protocol or locally from
a console terminal. These methods are described below.
Remote Login
Novell workstations require the TES terminal emulation program and the
Kermit protocol in order to perform a remote login to the printer server
TES can be loaded at any DOS prompt or from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
TES must be loaded before starting the Kermit program. These files are
available on the CD-ROM or on the DOS utilities diskette.
TES TSR program that provides NetWare terminal
transport to enable access to the remote console
facility under NetWare.
MS-DOS Kermit Terminal emulator which is used in conjunction
with TES.
INSTALL DOS Installation script for the printer servers.
READ.ME Readme file for using TES with Emulex Printer
servers. For more information, examine the
read.me file.
The following procedure installs the TES and Kermit software on the system
and establishes a connection to the printer server:
1) Login to a Novell workstation.
2) Change to a DOS prompt.
3) Place the CD-ROM or diskette in the drive and enter one of these
commands:
CD-ROM:
C:> md tes-krmt
>
> C:> cd tes-krmt
> C:> xcopy d:\utils\ps50\tes\*.* /S
This command installs the files on the CD-ROM from drive D to drive C.
The /S option will recurse the directory structure.
Diskette:
Novell NetWare 3-15
> c:> a:\install a: c:
This command installs the files from drive A to C:\tes-krmt.
NOTE: TES must be loaded after NetWare client software
is installed and before starting Kermit.
4) Go to the TES-Krmt subdirectory:
C:> cd\tes-krmt
>
NOTE: If TES is already present, do not repeat the
installation.
5) Run TES:
C:\TES-KRMT> tes
>
TES will terminate but stay resident.
6) Run Kermit:
C:\TES-KRMT> kermit
>
The MS-Kermit> prompt will appear.

Define the Preferred Novell NetWare File Server
Upon power up, the Emulex printer server normally goes through fileservers
in the bindery to find the first available fileserver with configuration
information. In a large network this may create unnecessary traffic and take
some time. Use the following to specify a direct attachment to the Novell
file server node that contains the configuration information.
1) Log in to the printer server with supervisor privilege.
2) Enter:
Server>> define node node_name nfserver
>
node_name The preferred NetWare file server node name
3) Enter:
Server>> sync
>
4) Turn power to the printer server off and on.
Define the Method of Discovery (NetWare 4.xx)
The Pserver must defined to do bindery discoveries, NDS discoveries or
both.
Server>> define server wetware pserver [disable
>
|auto |3.x |4.x]
choose one of the following keywords:
disable disables the NetWare protocol on this printer server
auto enables both bindery and NDS modes
3.x enables bindery mode
4.x enables NDS mode
The default is auto.
