Configuring for the NetWare Network

This section explains how to use the Web browser interface to configure NetWare parameters and how to configure additional queues using the Novell NWAdmin utility.

Intermec recommends you use the Novell 32-bit client on your Windows PC

Note:

instead of the Microsoft NetWare client because it allows direct configuration of print queues without the need for a Novell utility like NWAdmin or PCONSOLE.

The EasyLAN 10i2 adapter automatically makes itself known on a NetWare network. The default NetWare Print Server name is PR1. Note that the NetWare Print Server name is used for either NDS or bindery mode configuration.

If you are configuring the first port with the Web browser interface, the NDS Printer Name for this port is automatically assigned as INTERMEC is the last six digits of the MAC address. If you are using an alternate configuration method like NWAdmin, you may assign any unique name for the printer. For help configuring the first port, see “Configuring the Parallel Port” earlier in this chapter.

You extensively use the Print Server and Printer names while configuring. Note that these names are actually the names of the EasyLAN 10i2 adapter’s NetWare services. If desired, you can change the default names using the Web browser interface. For help, see “Configuring the Port Services” earlier in this chapter.

Troubleshooting and Managing the EasyLAN 10i2 Adapter

This chapter explains how to troubleshoot and manage the EasyLAN 10i2 adapter.

Troubleshooting Printing Problems

First, check the printer to make sure it is online and has media and ribbon.

If the printer is working fine, test the connection between the printer and the EasyLAN 10i2 adapter by pushing the Test button on the back of the printer for less than 5 seconds.

Remember, if a test label does not print, the printer may still be able to print

Note:

through the EasyLAN 10i2 adapter. Set up the printer as you normally would and try printing from an application.

If the test label does not print, try resetting the EasyLAN 10i2 adapter to factory defaults by holding the Test button for more than 5 seconds.

Troubleshooting Network Configuration Problems

If you are using TCP/IP, make sure that your computer and the EasyLAN 10i2 adapter are on the same IP segment or can reach each other with a PING command from the host. The IP address you assign to the EasyLAN 10i2 adapter must be on the same logical network as your host computers (for example, if your computer has an IP address of 192.189.207.3, the EasyLAN 10i2 adapter should have an IP address of

192.189.207.n where n is an integer between 1 and 254), or you must properly configure

your router address to work with the EasyLAN 10i2 adapter.

If your EasyLAN 10i2 adapter is set to Auto or DHCP for obtaining an IP address, it is possible the EasyLAN 10i2 adapter’s IP address can change. Either configure your DHCP server to give the EasyLAN 10i2 adapter a permanent lease or configure the EasyLAN 10i2 adapter to be on a static address outside the scope of DHCP addresses.

Note:

If you have a DHCP server on your network, the EasyLAN 10i2 adapter reconnects after being set to factory defaults and may receive a new IP address. To find the new IP address, print a test label. For help, see “Printing a Test Label” later in this chapter. If you do not have a DHCP server, you need to set the IP address after setting the EasyLAN 10i2 adapter to defaults.

Console Commands

This appendix explains how to send the console commands and lists the commands.

Sending the Console Commands

You can send console commands to the EasyLAN 10i2 adapter by using either Telnet or the Web browser interface. The following procedure explains how to use the Web browser interface. For help using Telnet, see the documentation for Telnet.

If you are using the Console mode from the Web browser interface to send commands, you should only use commands that show information, such as the port parameters, or commands that do not have an equivalent Web page. Most of the parameters that you can configure using console commands can also be configured through the configuration pages of the Web browser interface. Using console commands to configure the EasyLAN 10i2 adapter can interfere with your connection through the Web browser where as the configuration pages of the Web browser interface have ways to minimize the disruption to your connection.

To send the console commands

1. From the Configuration and Management page, click Access the Console to Send Commands. The Console page appears. For help opening the Configuration and Management page, see “Opening the Web Browser Interface” in Chapter 2.
