1 Introduction

The Print Server Card is a Network Interface Controller that you install into compatible printers to provide Ethernet or Token Ring network connectivity. The Print Server Card has the following features:

•Automatic selection of 10Base2 (Thinnet), or, automatic selection of 100BaseT Fast Ethernet connection or 10BaseT Ethernet connection (for Ethernet cards with both type of connections).

•Token Ring interface connection - Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) and Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) (for Token Ring cards).

•Fully transparent AppleTalk printing support for the Macintosh, including support for binary PostScript printing.

•Peer-to-Peer (serverless) discovery and printing from Windows 95/98 or Windows NT (4.0 or higher) workstations, without a Novell ﬁle server present and without using IP.

•Novell NetWare PSERVER on both bindery based and Novell Directory Services (NDS).

•lpr/lpd over TCP/IP for UNIX platforms and Microsoft's Windows.

•Raw sockets support over selectable TCP/IP port with ﬁlters for selected UNIX environments.

•IP and IPX SNMP support of MIB-2 and DPI proprietary NIC MIB.

•SNMP support of standard MIB and proprietary printer MIBs on compatible printers.

•Integral HTTP Server to allow monitoring and management of your Print Server Card from a standard IP Web Browser program.

•Management Access Program (MAP) to allow Windows-based HTML viewing for monitoring and management of your Print Server Card.

•FTP printing to allow users to print directly from their IP browser or other FTP client.

•FTP download allow users in the TCP/IP environment the ability of ﬂash upgrading their Print Server Card.

•Flash memory to allow ﬁeld upgrades, with capability for either Novell IPX/SPX or TCP/IP (FTP) download of executable code.

2 Installing the Print Server Card

2.1 Preparing the Printer

If the printer can generate a test or status page, you should generate one before you begin. This will give you detailed information on the identiﬁcation and conﬁguration of your printer, as well as ensuring that the printer is properly set up and operating.

If you are installing an Ethernet Print Server Card, continue to step 1. If you're installing a Token Ring board, you must ﬁrst set the speed to the same setting as the Token Ring adapter cards on your network. Refer to Section 2.2 Token Ring Jumper Selection, for details.

Warning: If you are installing a Token Ring card, you must set the network speed now. Changes made after start-up or after you power up the Print Server Card will not be implemented and may cause problems. If you do not set the speed to match the speed of other Token Ring adapter cards on the network, all trafﬁc on the network will come to a halt.

1.Make sure that the printer is operating properly. Check to see that paper is in the paper tray and toner cartridge is full. If the printer handles multiple printer languages, make sure it is set up for automatic emulation sensing or PCL or ASCII mode.

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

3.Install the Print Server Card in the option port, according to the printer manufacturer instructions.

Note: Handling Precautions for Static Sensitive Devices: The Print Server Card 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.

Hardware Installation-1

2.2Token Ring Jumper Selection

This section is for Token Ring installations only. Go to Section 2.3 if you are installing the Ethernet Print Server card.

The Token Ring speed is selected by the position of jumper 12 (JP12) on the Print Server Card. The factory default position for the jumper is across pins 2-3, selecting 16Mbps. If this is the speed that your network uses, then you do not need to do anything. If you need to change the speed to 4Mbps, you must reposition the jumper across pins 1-2. Follow the instructions below:

1.Make sure you remove the power cord from the printer.

2.Locate Jumper JP12 on the Print Server Card.

3.Once you locate Jumper JP12, move the jumper to between pins 1-2. This changes the speed setting to 4Mbps.

4.Install the Print Server Card in the option port, according to the printer manufacturer instructions.

Hardware Installation-2

2.3Connect the Network to Print Server Card: Ethernet

You can connect your Ethernet network in one of two ways:

1.Using the 10BaseT or 100BaseT Ethernet interface. This network connection uses a 4-wire RJ cable to plug into the RJ45 network connector on the Print Server Card.

Note: The Print Server Card automatically determines which type of network connection you are making; 100BaseT, 10BaseT or 10Base2. However, some older 10BaseT hubs may not support auto-detection of 10BaseT versus 10Base2. If this occurs, you may be required to change a jumper from automatic to manual selection. See Appendix A for details.

2.Using a Thinnet Ethernet interface. Your Print Server Card may include a BNC connector for 10Base2 or Thinnet connection. The Thinnet Ethernet wire uses a BNC T-connector to plug into the BNC port on the Print Server Card (marked Thinnet on the bracket). This Ethernet cable is 1/4-inch coaxial cable (usually RG-58/U) that uses the cylindrical BNC T-connector to attach to the BNC port.

Once you make the connection, continue to 2.5 Powering Up the Printer,

Hardware Installation-3

2.4Connect the Network to Print Server Card: Token Ring

You can connect your Token Ring network in one of two ways:

1.Using the Token Ring Unshielded Twisted Pair/Type 3 (UTP) interface. The UTP network connection uses a 4-wire twisted pair RJ cable to plug into the RJ45 network connector (marked UTP on the bracket). Once you make the connection, continue to conﬁgure the Print Server Card and the network for the appropriate protocols.

Warning: It is recommended that you DO NOT use the medial ﬁlters when making your connection with the UTP cable. When you are wired for UTP, use a straightthrough twisted pair standard UTP cable connecting it directly to the UTP plug on the Print Server Card.

Once you make the connection, continue to 2.5 Powering Up the Printer,

Hardware Installation-4

2.5Powering Up the Printer

1.Plug in the power cord.

2.Turn on the power and wait for the printer to warm up. The printer may print out a status or start-up page (if this option is not disabled). The Print Server Card then provides a print job to the printer which contains the Print Server Card status information. Refer to 8.2 Status Report, for more information.

3.Check the Print Server Card status report. Record the serial number and the Network address or save the status report. You need this information when you conﬁgure the printer for your network.

Go to one or more of the appropriate chapters for instructions on conﬁguring the network for the Print Server Card.

3 Using the Management Access Program or a Standard Web Browser

MAP has the following requirements:

•The Microsoft TCP/IP protocol stack must be installed on this PC. It is not necessary for the network to support TCP/IP. However, the TCP/IP protocol must be installed on this PC even if the network does not support it.

•A web browser must be installed on this PC. Both Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer are supported.

•If the IPX search functions are to be used, then IPX must be installed on this PC. Both the Microsoft and the NetWare 32-bit stacks are supported.

The Management Access Program (MAP) uses a Windows-based HTML viewer program linked with a proprietary bi-directional IPX/IP channel program to allow access to the Print Server Card's HTML-based monitoring and maintenance capabilities. An IP Web Browser also provides access to this capability directly. Either program allows you to:

•Conﬁgure your network protocols for the Print Server Card.

•Reset the Print Server Card remotely to either clear an error condition, or return the print server to its factory default settings.

•Troubleshoot problems in the Print Server Card.

•Enable or disable the status sheet printout.

•Access a context-sensitive help menu that fully explains how to use each Management Access Program feature.

Note: To be able to change parameter values with the Management Access Program or the Web Browser, you must know the Print Server Card management password. The factory default password is "sysadm".

3.1Where to Place the MAP Utility

The utility can be installed on any workstation hard drive or network drive.

Using MAP or Web Browser-1

3.2How to Install MAP in Windows

3.3Using the MAP Program

When you click on the MAP icon in the Windows Start menu to start the program, the program will prompt you with a list of IPX print servers listed by their SAP identiﬁcation and IP print servers by their IP address. Select the print server you want to access. The program will setup a link to the print server and obtain HTML code describing the home page.

3.4Web IP Browser

Once you have assigned an IP address to your Print Server Card, you may use an IP browser, such as Netscape, to access the HTTP Server and the HTML code allowing Print Server Card monitoring and maintenance. To access the HTTP Server screens from your browser, do the following:

1.Open up your browser by clicking on its icon.

2.For the URL, type in the IP address of the Print Server Card. The HTTP Server screens should appear. If you have problems, check to make sure you are using the correct IP address.

Using MAP or Web Browser-2

4 NetWare Conﬁguration

Use this chapter if you will be printing from a Novell NetWare NOS. This chapter is divided into the following sections:

•Conﬁguring NetWare 2.15 and 3.1x describes how to conﬁgure the Print Server Card for use with Versions 2.15 or 3.1x. Use PCONSOLE to set up the print server function.

•Conﬁguring NetWare 4.0x in Bindery Emulation describes how to conﬁgure the Print Server Card for use with Version 4.x Bindery Services. Use PCONSOLE to set up the print server function.

•Conﬁguring NetWare Directory Services describes how to conﬁgure the Print Server Card for use with Version 4.x Directory Services. Use NWADMIN to set up the print server function.

•Print Server Card Setup Parameters describes the parameters accessible via MAP or an IP Browser used to conﬁgure the Print Server for NetWare.

•Using NetWare Utilities explains how to use standard Novell NetWare utilities to make changes to the conﬁguration of the Print Server function.

4.1Conﬁguring NetWare 2.15 and 3.x

Before conﬁguring NetWare, you must determine if the Print Server Card has its desired name. You may use MAP or an IP Browser.

The following steps are the general procedure for conﬁguring the Print Server Card. You must have supervisor privileges to do this conﬁguration. These steps are covered in detail in the following paragraphs:

1.Start PCONSOLE and select the ﬁle server you want to use.

2.Create the print queues.

3.Specify the <print server> card as a print server.

4.Conﬁgure the print server and printer.

5.Assign the print queues.

6.Set up the NOTIFY options.

7.Repeat the procedure for other ﬁle servers.

NetWare Conﬁguration-1

When you are ﬁnished, turn the printer off and on again. The printer creates a status report that indicates the ﬁle servers to which the unit is attached and the queues which it services.

Before you begin:

•Verify that you have supervisor privileges on the ﬁle servers on which the Print Server Card print server is to be entered.

•Verify that your version of PCONSOLE is later than 1.0.

4.1.1Start PCONSOLE and Select File Server

NetWare Conﬁguration-4

4.1.6Set Up Notify Options for the Printer (Optional)

To enable the print server to notify users or user groups if a problem occurs with the printer, set up the Notify options. The print server supports the enhanced NOTIFY options for printers, including informing users when the printer:

•Is off-line, jammed, opened, or out of paper

•Requires a manual paper feed or a form change

•Has had an engine failure

1.Choose Notify List for Printer on the Print Server Conﬁguration menu.

2.Select the printer from the Deﬁned Printers list. The screen appears (which is blank for an initial installation). Press the RETURN key to view a list of Notify Candidates.

3.Select the user or group from the list.

4.Set the First and Next intervals in the Notify Intervals screen. It is recommended that you use the defaults. The First interval is the number of seconds the network waits before it notiﬁes candidates about a print job problem. The Next interval speciﬁes how often in seconds candidates are notiﬁed. Enter a number for each interval and press the RETURN key.

5.Press the ESC key and then choose Save Changes. Press the ESC key at each screen until you reach the Print Server Conﬁguration menu. If you have ﬁnished the conﬁguration, press the ESC key and then save the changes.

4.1.7Installing 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 Print Server Card using the MAP program (refer to 4.3 Conﬁguring the Print Server Card in NetWare Directory Services). If you use a password, specify it on each ﬁle server using the Change Password option on the Print Server Information menu of the PCONSOLE utility.

When the Print Server Card 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 pri-

NetWare Conﬁguration-5

mary ﬁle server can be any ﬁle server within the four hops/eight ticks propagation time limits, but ideally is as close as possible to the print server. Once the print server locates 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).

4.1.8 Primary File Server

To use the primary ﬁle server option, use the following procedure on a ﬁle server close to the printer:

1. List the ﬁle servers to be serviced by the primary ﬁle server by selecting File Server To Be Serviced option from the Print Server Conﬁguration Menu .

2.Press the INSERT key to display the Available File Servers list.

3.Select the name of each ﬁle server to be serviced and press the return key to add it to the File Servers To Be Serviced list.

4.When the list is complete, press the ESC key to return to the menu.

5.Install the Print Server Card on each of the primary ﬁle servers.

4.1.9Preferred File Servers

The MAP or Web Browser utilities allow you to identify a preferred ﬁle server, to be identiﬁed within the Print Server Card itself. If a preferred ﬁle server is listed, the Print Server Card will attach to this identiﬁed ﬁle server instead of initiating the automatic search. If the preferred ﬁle server is also a primary ﬁle server (for example, has ﬁle servers listed under ﬁle servers to be serviced), the Print Server Card will connect directly to these ﬁle servers.

Note: The Preferred File Server is only applicable to bindery-based queues. Entering it has no affect on NDS queues.

NetWare Conﬁguration-6

4.2 Conﬁguring NetWare 4.0x Bindery Emulation

Novell's NetWare 4.0x can operate in two modes NetWare Directory Services (NDS) and Bindery Services Emulation. For NDS, see 4.3 Conﬁguring the Print Server Card in NetWare Directory Services. These services run simultaneously and transparently to each other. The Print Server Card may be conﬁgured to operate with Bindery Services mode only (this section), or to operate under NDS (4.3 Conﬁguring the Print Server Card in NetWare Directory Services). When conﬁgured under NDS, the print Server Card will also service older ﬁle servers operating in bindery mode.

Note: If the Print Server Card is not properly set up for NDS and the Bindery Services mode is not running, the Print Server Card can not ﬁnd its ﬁle servers, and the status page indicates the Novell NetWare protocol is not active.

4.2.1Conﬁrm Bindery Context

Before installing the Print Server Card on a Novell NetWare 4.x server in Bindery Emulation mode, check that the server has a Bindery Context (name for the server under Bindery Services mode). If the server does not have Bindery Context, it may be preferable to install in NDS mode. If the Print Server Card must be installed in the Bindery Emulation mode, the server must have Bindery Context. Perform the following steps to conﬁrm the server has Bindery Context:

1.Go to the 4.x server and at the system console type: load install

2.Select Maintenance/Selective Install from the menu.

3.Select NCF Files Options from the menu.

4.Select Edit AUTOEXEC.NCF from the menu.

5.Search the ﬁle to see if you have a statement similar to the following included:

SET BINDERY CONTEXT=0U=ENG

Where =0U=ENG is an example of a name for the ﬁle server context. Use your own ﬁle server context in place of =0U=ENG.

6.At the console prompt, type the SET BINDERY CONTEXT statement that you entered in the AUTOEXEC.NCF ﬁle.

NetWare Conﬁguration-7

Note: The command at the console prompt takes effect immediately. The deﬁnition in the ﬁle takes effect when the server is shut down and then restarted.

4.2.2Conﬁgure in Bindery Mode with PCONSOLE

Once you conﬁrm the server has Bindery Context, use the following procedures to conﬁgure the Print Server Card.

1.Log into the network as ADMIN.

2.Type PCONSOLE and press the return key. The following screen appears.

Available Options

Print Queues

Printers

Print Drivers

Quick Setup

Change Context

3.When the Available Options menu appears, press the o key (for the Bindery Mode).

Note: If you receive a message asking you to login to a server with Bindery connections, the server you are attached to does not have Bindery Mode enabled. Follow the procedures in 4.2.1 Conﬁrm Bindery Context or log onto a server with Bindery Services activated.

4.From the Available Options screen, select Quick Setup and press the return key. Use Quick Setup to connect your print server, print queue and printer correctly. You can modify these later if you need to.

5.Select Print server and press the n key to modify the entry.

6.Enter the name of the print server in the Print server ﬁeld and press the return key.
