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 identification and configuration of your printer , as well as ensuring that the printer is properly set up and operating.

1. Make sure that the printer is operating properly. Check to see that paper is in the paper tray and toner cartridge is full.

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

3. Install the NIC in the option port.

For details, see the Quick Guide for Installation and Reference.

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

Utilizing Windows Programs

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 Web 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 Discovery 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.

Note

• It is also possible to search for an IP based printer using the IP Discovery Program in a network environment that does not support IPX.

• The IP Discovery Program can only be used to search for IP based NICs.

• 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 implementation uses the IPX/SPX stacks that 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 intermediate 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.

Chapter 3

Utilizing Windows Programs

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 assume that Novell is normally used and will store this frame type and new number in NVRAM so that, when it comes up again, it will not have to spend the time sensing (which can take some time). However, if the NIC cannot attach to a file server, it will use the sensed values, but will not store them.

3-11

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 itself 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

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 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

Chapter 4

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 serv er within the four hops/eight ticks propagation time limits, but ideally is as close as possible to the print server . Once the print serv er 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).

5. Install the NIC on each of the primary file servers.

4.1.9 Preferred File Servers

The Management Access Program MAP or Web Browser allow you to identify a “preferred” file server, to be identified within the NIC itself. If a preferred file server is listed, the NIC 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 NIC 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.

4.2 Configuring NetWare 4.x — Bindery Emulation

Novell’s NetWare 4.x can operate in two modes — Novell Directory Services (NDS) and Bindery Services Emulation. For Directory Services, see 4.3 Configuring the NIC in Novell Directory Services. These services run simultaneously and transparently to each other. The NIC may be configured to operate with Bindery Services mode only (this section), or to operate under NDS (4.3 Configuring the NIC in Novell Directory Services). When conf igured under NDS, the NIC will 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 Bindery 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 Bindery Context. Perform the follo wing steps to conf irm the server has Bindery Context:

4.3 Configuring the NIC in NetWare Directory Services

4.3Configuring 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 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 structure rather than the flat-file structure of the Bindery, and offers network-oriented access, rather than server-oriented access found in the Bindery.

Chapter 4

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 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

NetWare Configuration

4.3Configuring the NIC in NetWare

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 below describe the use of NWADMIN configuration to create printer, print server, and 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.

This chapter explains how to configure the NIC and your network for use with TCP/IP communication in various en vironments. 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.

If the Windows workstations are connected to a NetWare network, configure the printer interfaces for NetWare, and use standard Windo ws/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 users can also use the NIC Peer-toPeer capability as described in Chapter 3. The following sections describe installation using TCP/IP under Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95, and Windows NT.

TCP/IP Configuration

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 Windows NT serv er (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, various TCP/IP facilities are available for Windows for Workgroups workstations, including a free TCP/ IP provided by Microsoft. There are third party lpr spoolers available. The following instructions are based on the Microsoft TCP/IP and a shareware lpr application that is available from various sources. You will need the files the TCP/IP, and and

Windows NT (version 3.5 or higher) does come with TCP/IP and lpr capabilities, although these must be installed when the unit is 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

BOOTPL32.exe

file provided with this NIC.

Note

• Once you have lpr installed on an W indo ws NT Server w orkstation 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.

TCP/IP Configuration

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 NetW are connection on your network, or with AppleTalk NIManage for Macintosh utility program if there is an Apple Macintosh on the network. Follow the instructions for these programs which are documented elsewhere in this manual. If you cannot use these programs, you can use either the ARP procedure or the BOOTP.

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

MAC Address. It should sho w 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. Howe ver, you can T elnet to the unit or use the W eb pages accessed b y 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 with BOOTP for details on using BOOTP instead of ARP to assign IP addresses.

Request should time out. For example:

>ping 192.9.200.200

3. Recycle the power on the printer, or let the NIC reset itself. The NIC will produce a status report that should include the entered IP address.

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

>ping <NIC IP address>

(continue until you get a reply)

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

3. Setup the subnet mask and default gateway for the NIC if applicable (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 Browser 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 Workstation

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.

6.2 UNIX Printing

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 where a supplied line printer daemon is running on one or more workstations and print data is communicated to the NIC via a TCP/IP port or,

• Printer-based lpd where the printer appears as a host running a line 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 operating systems, you hav e 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

Chapter 6

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 via T elnet, or the NIC HTML setup pages accessed by MAP or a Web Browser. Remem-

ber, the actual port is alwa ys one higher than the base port number. The

status report

indicates the actual port number.

6.2 UNIX Printing

Between the host-based and printer-based TCP/IP printing capabilities, the NIC works with:

• All UNIX systems that support lpd

• System V Rel. 4 (on 386 platforms)

• DEC ULTRIX RISC Versions 4.3 and 4.4

• DEC OSF/1 Versions 2.0 and 3.0

• Solaris: Version 1.1.3 (SunOS 4.1.3), Version 2.3 (SunOS 5.3), Version 2.4, and Version 2.5

• HP-UX Series 700 and 800 Version 9.01 and Version 10.0

• IBM AIX Version 3.2.5

• SCO UNIX Version 3.2

•AS/400

The CD-ROM also includes source code that you can recompile hostbased code for configuring on other System V platforms.

TCP/IP Configuration

6.2 UNIX Printing

6.2.1 Configuring the IP Address on the NIC

Regardless of the printing mode selected, the NIC must be given IP address and routing parameters. You can configure the IP address for the NIC in one of the following ways:

• Use MAP, as described in Chapter 3.

• Use AppleT alk NIManage utility program, as described in Chapter 5.

• Use the BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol).

• Use the RARP (Reverse ARP) capability (Ethernet II frame type only).

• Use arp and ping capability.

For each method, you will need to provide the MAC Address of the NIC. The MAC Address is the 12-character code that is printed under MAC Address on the status report each time the printer is turned on.

You can use the BOOTP, RARP, or ping procedures only when the Print Server is in its factory default state (no IP information entered). After the Print Server has an IP address, you must use the Telnet utility, the AppleTalk NIManage utility for the Macintosh, or the NIC HTML pages accessed through the MAP or a Web Browser to change an IP address, Subnet Mask and Default gateway.

6.2.1.1 Using BOOTP

The BOOTP daemon is a native TCP/IP option for configuring the IP address of a diskless network device. To communicate the IP

Chapter 6

TCP/IP Configuration

address, use the following procedure:

1. Turn off the printer.

2. Log in as superuser (root) on a host on the same subnet as the print server. However, if the server resides on another subnet, complete this procedure to store the IP address in the print server . Reconnect the print server anywhere on the netw ork, and then use T elnet or the HTML pages accessed b y MAP or a Web Browser to change the IP address. See 6.3 Running Telnet, for instructions on using Telnet.

3. Find the MAC Address of the NIC. The address is printed on the status report each time you turn on the printer.

6-12

6.2 UNIX Printing

4. Edit the hosts file (usually /etc/hosts) or use NIS or DIS to add the IP address and NIC’s node name. See the network administrator for the IP address. For example, you would type in the following for NIC named printfast with an IP address of

192.9.200.200:

192.9.200.200 printfast

5. Stop the BOOTP daemon if it is running.

6. Edit the /etc/BOOTPtab file and add the following information:

<NIC_host name>:\

:ht = <hardware type>:\ :ha = <MAC Address>:\ :ip = <IP address>:\ :sm = <subnet mask>:\ :gw = <gateway address>:

For example, for an RFC 1048 system:

printfast:\

:ht = ether:\ :ha = 00206BAABBCC:\ :ip = 192.9.200.200:\ :sm = 255.255.255.0:\ :gw = 192.9.200.254:

If running with a more recent BOOTP implementation, such as with SCO UNIX, add:

:vm = rfc1048:

The same information uses the following format on an RFC 951 system:

host htype haddr iaddr bootfile

printfast 1 00:20:6b:aa:bb:cc 192.9.200.200 defaultboot

7. Start the BOOTP daemon by typing:

#bootpd -s
