2.1 Preparing the Printer

2.1 Preparing the Printer

If the printer can generate a test or status report, you should generate
one before you begin. This will give you detailed information on the
identificat ion and co nfigurat ion of y our print er , as well as ensuri ng that
the printer is properly set up and operating.

1. Make sure that the printer is operati ng properly. Check to see that
paper is in the paper drawer and toner cartridge is full.

2. Turn off the printer and remove the power cord.

3. Insta l l the NIC in the option port.

Note

• Handling Precautions for Static Sensitive Devices: The NIC is

designed to protect sensitive components from damage due to electro­static discharge (ESD) during normal operation. When performing
installation procedures, however, take proper static control precautions
to prevent damage to equipment.

2.2 Powering Up the Printer

Use the following procedures to power up the printer. Do this before
the printer is attached to the network to verify the physical installation
of the NIC.

1. Plug in the power cord.

2. Turn on power and wait for the printer to warm up. The printer
may print out a status report (if this option is not disabled). The

The CD-ROM contains the following programs for the Windows
environment.

• Discovery Program

This program automatically searches for NICs on a network. Found
NICs are listed in the We b Browser being used. Clicking a NIC name
accesses the card’s onboard HTTP server, which you can use to make
various NIC settings. See Appendix C of this manual for details.

The Dis covery Program generally utilizes the MAP (Management
Access Program) to find an IP or IPX based NIC. Once found, the
Discovery Program allows you to make setting changes through the
NIC’s built-in Web page.

• Peer-to-Peer Printing Program

This program provides peer-to-peer printing capabilities, without
having to go through the server. Peer-to-peer printing can be enabled
by installing IP peer-to-peer printing under a TCP/IP environment, or
by installing IPX Peer-to-Peer printing program under an IPX/SPX
environment.

3.3 IPX Peer-to-Peer Printing Program

The IPX Peer-to Peer Printing Program enables IPX Peer-to-Peer
printing in a Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0 environment.
The following are the characteristics of IPX Peer-to-Peer printing.

• IPX Peer-to-Peer printing implements peer-to-peer bi-directional
printing between Windows workstations and NIC printers.

• The Peer- to-Peer implementat ion uses the IPX/SP X stacks t hat are
provided with Windows 95 or Windows NT4.0.

• The IPX Peer-to-Peer Printing program establishes a connection
with the printers supporting Peer-to-Peer, without using an inter-

Chapter 3

Utilizing Windows Programs

mediate file server, whether or not your network uses Novell Net­Ware.

• If you are not using NetWare, you do not need to activate any Net­Ware Client application.

Note

• The IPX Peer-to-Peer Printing program uses IPX/SPX Compatible Pro­tocol, so you must install IPX/SPX Compatible Protocol on your work­station if it is not already installed. See the documentation that comes
with Windows for details about installation.

• Because Peer-to-Peer uses the IPX/SPX Protocol, Novell operation
must remain enabled on the NIC, even if traditional Novell printing
facilities are not being used. The name of the Peer-to-Peer printer, as it
appears in the Windows Port List, is the same as the Novell Print
Server name, and may be changed by changing the Novell Print Server
name using the Web-based management or MAP Program.

On power up, the NIC checks the network to see if there is Novell
activity. If there is, it will use the same frame type and the local
network number that it senses. If, in addition, the NIC can log on to a
file server, it will assu me that Novell is normally used and will store
this frame type and new number in NVRAM so that, when i t com es up
again, it will not have to spend the time sensing (which can take some
time). However, if the NIC cannot at tach to a file server, it will use the
sensed values, but will not store them.

3-10

3.3 IPX Peer-to-Peer Printing Program

If the NIC does not see any Novell activity, it will use 802.2 on 802.3
as a frame type and will assign itsel f a network number of 0. The frame
type and network number being used is shown on the status report.

Note

• If a NIC is being moved from a site that had active Novell to a site that
does not, the unit should be reset to the factory default to clear the
frame type and network number information.

4.1.7 Installing the Print Server on Multiple

File Servers

To install the print server on more than one file server, perform the
procedures described in Sections 4.1.1 through 4.1.6 for each file
server. You must use the same name and password for the print server
(or no password) on all file servers. You set the password for the NIC
using the MAP or a Web Browser (refer to 4.3 Configuring the NIC in
Novell Directory Services). If you use a password, specify it on each

Chapter 4

file server using the
Information menu of the PCONSOLE utility.

When the NIC comes up, it automatically searches for and attaches to
the file servers that are no more than four hops and have no more than
eight ticks propagation delay. For extremely large or complex
networks, this allows a bounded search time on start-up. If the print
server must attach to file servers beyond this range, or, if you wish to
accelerate start-up by eliminating the need to search all file servers in
the four hops/eight ticks radius, the file servers with which the print
server is to operate may be entered into the Print Server Configuration
of a “primary” file server. The primary file server can be any file server
within the four hops/eight ticks propagation time limits, but ideally is
as close as possi ble t o th e prin t serv er. Once t he pri nt ser ver lo cat es the
primary file server and the list of file servers to be serviced, the
automatic search is dropped and the print server will go directly to
those file servers listed (and to no others).

If a preferred file server is listed, the NIC will attach to this identified
file server i nstead of ini tiating th e automatic se arch. If the p referred fi le
server is also a primary file server (for example, has file servers listed
under file ser vers to b e serv iced), th e NIC will co nnect directl y to these

also service older file servers operating in bindery mode.

Note

• If the NIC is not properly set up for NDS and the Bindery Services
mode is not running, the NIC can not find its file servers, and the status
report indicates the Novell NetWare protocol is not active.

4.2.1 Confirm Bindery Context

Before installing the NIC on a Novell NetWare 4.x server in Bindery
Emulation mode, check that the server has a Bindery Context (name
for the server under Binder y Services mode). If the server does not
have Bindery Context, it may be preferable to install in NDS mode. If
the NIC must be installed in the Bindery Emulation mode, the server
must have Binder y Context. P erform the followi ng steps t o confir m the
server has Bindery Context:

4.3 Configuring the NIC in Novell Directory Services

Directory Services

4.3 Configuring the NIC in Novell

Directory Services

Novell Directory Services (NDS) offers a different, more advanced
approach to network management than previous NetWare versions.
Generally, it stores and tracks all network objects. As a rule, all 4.x
servers must have NDS loaded in order to function. In this way, every
NetWare 4.x server is a Directory server, because it services named
Directory objects such as printers, print servers and print queues. With
the appropriate privileges, you can create a print server object, which,
once configured in its context (or location) on the network, eliminates
the cumbersome setup of print servers on every network server. NDS
provides true enterprise networking based on a shared network
database rather than a individually defined physical sites. The result is

4.3 Configuring the NIC in NetWare

greatly improved print server setup and management.
The Directory Information Base (DIB) is used to store information

about servers and services, users, printers, gateways, etc. It is a
distributed database, allowing access to data anywhere on the network
wherever it is stored. Pre-4.x NetWare versions provide the same data
found in the DIB but the data is stored in the NetWare Bindery. The
DIB was designed with more flexible access, more specific security,
and, since it is distributed, it was designed to be partitioned. The
Directory uses an object-oriented structu re rather than the flat-file
structure of the Bindery, and offers network-oriented access, rather
than server-oriented access found in the Bindery.

The Directory is backward-compatible with the NetWare Bindery
through Bindery emulation mode. Section 4.2 describes Print Server
Operation with a 4.x NetWare system in bindery emulation mode.
When Bindery emulation is enabled, Directory Services will accept
Bindery requests and respond just as if a Bindery existed on the
NetWare server being accessed. Be aware that information obtained

Chapter 4

NetWare Configuratio n

from the Bindery query may not be stored in the server since the
Directory is a partitioned and distributed database. Even though the
NetWare 4.x server is not operating from a Bindery, the applications
making Bindery requests will not know the difference.

4-13

4.3 Configuring the NIC in NetWare

4.3 Configuring the NIC in Novell Directory Services

You may use NWADMIN to configure the printer in NDS. Prior to
printing, NDS must be set up as follows and the NIC must be set up
with NDS Context and Tree. See Section 4.4 . The steps b elow des cribe

print queue objects. Then, you will assign, or associate those objects
with each other. If you wish to keep Bindery resources on any server,
you can under NetWare 4.x if you declare a SET statement in your

AUTOEXEC.NCF file.

For those who prefer, NetWare does offer PCONSOLE as an
alternative to NWADMIN. PCONSOLE can be used to set up static
information about print servers such as: which queues to service, and
whom to notify in the event of a problem. See Novell NetWare
documentation for more information about the use of PCONSOLE for
NDS.

6.1 Installation in a Windows Environment

This chapter explains how to configure the NIC and your network for
use with TCP/IP communication in var ious environment s. Independent
setup and installation procedures are provided for Windows systems
and for most popular UNIX systems. The NIC TCP/IP capability will
also operate with lpr spoolers on other systems, and with spooler/
supervisor capabilities that communicate raw print jobs to the Print
Server TCP/IP Port. This port number defaults to 10001, but may be
changed to any desired number using the Telnet utility, SNMP, or the
HTML pages accessible via MAP or a Web Browser. Section 6.3
Running Telnet, describes the interactive setup capability accessible
through the Telnet utility on any TCP/IP platform, and is equally
applicable to Windows, UNIX, and other TCP/IP environments. The
use of MAP or a Web Browser to access Web pages in the NIC is
described in Chapter 3.

6.1 Inst allati on i n a W in dows Environ ment

The several versions and variations of Microsoft Windows may be
used on a NetWare and/or TCP/IP networks, as well as in a native
Microsoft Windows network. This flexibility allows various options
for setting up the network printing system even though this NIC does
not support NetBEUI. If the Windows workstations are connected to a
NetWare network, conf igure the printer interfaces for NetWare, and
use standard Windows/NetWare utilities to provide access to the
printer. If NetWare is not to be used, the users may access the printer
using TCP/IP. Windows 95 and Windows NT4.0 us ers ca n al so use the
NIC Peer-to-Peer capability as described in Chapter 3. The following
sections describe installation using TCP/IP under Windows for
Workgroups, Windows 95, and Windows NT.

6.1 Installation in a Windows Environment

Note

• See the documentation that comes with Windows for details about
installing TCP/IP on each workstation.

• Printing with TCP/IP requires that the workstation have TCP/IP capa­bility and the corresponding spooler, lpr; or that the workstation can
share an lpr queue on a Wind ows NT server (for example) that has one.
In general, if printers are not shared, an lpr queue must be created on
each workstation from which printing is initiated. See the Windows
documentation about sharing printers.

Windows for Workgroups

Windows for Workgroups does not normally come with TCP/IP.
However, vario us TCP/IP facilities are available fo r Windows for
Workgroups workstations, including a free TCP/ IP provided by

configured. You must install the TCP/IP Protocol, Simple TCP/IP
Services, and Microsoft TCP/IP Printing prior to entering the net­work printer on the workstation.

If you wish to use the BOOTP, you also need the

Note

• Once you have lpr installed on an W indows NT Server workstation and
have allowed printer sharing, other workstations may use the printer
through the Microsoft Windows Network without having to have sepa­rate lpr queues installed on each workstation.

6.1 Installation in a Windows Environment

6.1.1 Setting up the NIC

The NIC must be given IP address and routing information to be
used with TCP/IP. This can be done with MAP if you have a Net­Ware con nection on you r network, or wi th AppleTalk NIManage for
Macintosh utility program if there i s an Apple Macintosh on t he net­work. Follow the instructions for these programs which are docu­mented elsewhere in thi s manua l. If you can not use these programs,
you can use either the ARP procedure or the BOOTP.

Prior to running these programs, install th e NIC in your printer.
Power-up the printer. Keep the status report handy for the Ethernet

MAC Address. It should show that TCP/IP is enabled, but that the
IP address is not configured. If the unit already has an IP address,
these procedures will not work. Howev er, you can Telnet to the unit

Chapter 6

or use the Web pages accessed by MAP or a Web Browser to change
the IP parameters.

6.1.2 Assigning IP Address with arp & ping

The NIC must be on the same network segment as the workstation
that you are using to configure it. The TCP/IP stack must be
installed and operating.

See 6. 1.3 Assigning the IP Addr ess wit h BOOTP for de ta ils on usi ng
BOOTP instead of ARP to assign IP addresses.

1. From Windows, enter the MS-DOS box.

2. At the command prompt type:

>ping <any valid IP address on your network

- not the NIC>

The identified unit should reply.

>arp -s <NIC IP address> <NIC MAC Address>

The entry should be accepted.

For example:

>ping 192.9.200.200

3. Recycle the power on the p rinte r, or le t the NIC rese t its elf. The
NIC will produc e a st at us report that should include the entered
IP address.

4. When the NIC is up again, type the following at the command
prompt:

Note

• This only enters the IP address; you must use the Telnet facility or
the Web pages accessed by
the IP setup for networks where subnets are used. See 6.3 Running
Telnet, for instructions on how to enter the other IP parameters.

6.1.3 Assigning the IP Address with BOOTP

BOOTP programs use the BOOTP protocol. The NIC must be on
the same network segment as the workstation that you are using to
configure it. The TCP/IP stack must be installed and operating. The
BOOTP program will not work in a Windows PC Operating as a
DHCP Server.

The BOOTP program you should use depends on the version of
Windows on the workstation.

6.1.4 Setting Up IP and lpr Parameters

The NIC provides for a setup connection via the standard Telnet
port. To be able to make changes to a unit with factory default set­tings, you must logon as

“sysadm” (This password can be changed from the Telnet utility).

“sysadm”. The default password is also

Section 6.3 Running Telnet, describes the use of the Telnet utility.

1. Telnet to the NIC (the login and password are both sysadm).

2. Turn off the protocols that you are not utilizing (option 3).

3. Setup the subnet mask and default g ate way f or t he NI C if appl i­cable (option 1). (If you used BOOTP, this will already have
been done).

4. Exit, Save and Reset the NIC

You can also use the HTML pages accessible via MAP or a Web
Browse r to setup lpr. The password to change parameters with the
Web pages is the same as the Telnet password.

6.1.5 Creating an lpr Queue on the W ork sta tion

The method for setting up lpr queue depends on the Windows ver­sion running on the workstation. Confirm the Windows version on
the workstation and use one of the setup procedures below.

Note

• This manual cover general settings only. See your UNIX system man­ual for full details about setting procedures.

The NIC can support UNIX TCP/IP printing in two modes:

• Host-based lpd whe re a suppli ed line print er daemon is r unning on
one or more workstations and print data is communicated to the
NIC via a TCP/IP port or,

• Printer -based l pd where the printer appears a s a host r unning a l ine
printer daemon.

In general, printer-based lpd is easiest to use on BSD UNIX systems,

requiring an entry in the printcap file once the NIC has its IP
information. Some UNIX System V systems have restrictions on
support of remote LPD printers, requiring that the host-based LPD
approach be used. For many ope ra ti ng sy stems, you have the option of
using host-resident printing or print server-resident printing. Each
mode has certain advantages.

• The host-resident method can print the username and filename on
its banner page; the print server-resident method prints a banner
page with the host’s name.

• The print server-resident method requires you to configure the
printer only one time, when you install the print server. The host­resident method requires that a printing daemon be installed on
every host that you want to be able to print jobs.

Note

• The NIC will also operate with other host-resident print supervisor/
spooler programs that present a print image to the printer over a TCP/
IP port. The base TCP/IP port number can be changed v ia Telnet, o r the
NIC HTML setup pages accessed by MAP or a Web Browser. Remem­ber, the actual port is always one higher than the base port number. The

status report indicates the actual port number.
