Preparing the

Printer

Note

If the printer can generate a test or status page, you should generate one before you begin.

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 Network Interface Card in the option port, according to the printer manufacturer instructions.

Handling Precautions for Static Sensitive Devices:

The Network Interface 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.

Installing the Network Interface Card

Powering Up

the Printer

Use the following procedures to power 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 Network Interface Card then provides a print job to the printer which contains the Network Interface Card status information. Refer to Status Report (page 6-4) for more information.

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

4. Power down the printer.

5. Connect the Ethernet cable between the Network Interface Card and a network drop.

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

Before configuring the NIC for NetWare, you must determine if the NIC has its desired name. If you want to change the name, use NIManage to change the name. Refer to Using the NIManage Utility (page 3-28) for more details.

The following steps are the general procedure for configuring the NIC. 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.

When you are finished, turn the printer off and on again. The printer creates a status report that indicates the fileservers 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 NIC print server is to be entered.

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

Configuring NetWare 2.15 and 3.1x

Install the Print

Server on Multiple

File Servers

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 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).

The NIManage for Windows program also allows the operator to identify a preferred file server, which is identified within the NIC itself. If a preferred file server is listed, the NIC will first attach to this identified file server before 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 and will bypass any automatic search.

Installing the

Printer on

Multiple File

Servers

To install the print server on more than one file server, perform the procedures 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 NIManage program. Refer to Configuring the NIC in NetWare Directory Services (page 3-17). 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.

Chapter 3: NetWare Configuration ❖ 3-11

Configuring NetWare 2.15 and 3.1x

 If you assign a preferred file server via NIManage or SNMP, the

print server on coming up will try to locate that file server without

doing any general search and, if listed as a print server device on

Note

that file server, will remain attached to that file server.

 If you have identified other file servers to be serviced for that

print server, and the appropriate file exists, the print server will

attempt to attach to each of the other file servers listed, up to the

maximum capacity of the print server.

 If you assign a primary (preferred) file server and it contains no

additional file servers in its list (i.e., contains no file listing file

servers to be serviced), and the (preferred) file server is up, then

the NIC should stop after finding that file server and not perform

the general file server discovery process.

 If the primary (preferred) file server is assigned and unavailable

(e.g., server down or the print server is not configured on the file

server, or due to network conditions, the file server was not

located), the Novell portion of the print server will sleep for 5 (or

so) minutes and then retry to establish the connection. Any other

protocols configured should run normally. This retry will continue

indefinitely; there will be no search.

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 if each file server to be serviced and press to add it to the File Servers To Be Serviced list.

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

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

Note

Confirm Bindery

Context

Novells NetWare 4.0x can operate in two modes  NetWare Directory Services (NDS) and Bindery Services Emulation. For Directory Services, see Configuring the NIC in NetWare Directory Services (page 3-17). 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 (Configuring the NIC in NetWare Directory Services). When configured under NDS, the NIC will also service older fileservers operating in bindery mode.

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 page indicates the Novell NetWare

protocol is not active.

Disable Bindery if operating only in the NDS mode.

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 following steps to confirm the server has Bindery Context:

1. Go to the 4.0x 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.

Chapter 3: NetWare Configuration ❖ 3-13

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.

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.
