6.

If the Print Server is to be operated under Novell Directory Ser-
vices, type in a

Context

entry and

Preferred NDS Tree

entry in

the appropriate fields. Be sure to give the whole context, whether
typed or typeless, and do not begin your context path with a trail-
ing period (.). If you don't know your tree, type: whoami at the
DOS command line. A typed context name example is:

ou=standard.ou=organization_1

7.

In the default mode, the Print Server scans each queue which it is
to service once per second. If you prefer a longer scan rate, you
may enter the time between scans in seconds in the

Print Queue

Scan Rate

field.

8.

The NIC will normally monitor the network to determine which
frame type is being used for NetWare. When it recognizes a type,
it will assume the same frame type. Once it selects a frame type,
the NIC will only operate over that NetWare frame type. Monitor-
ing normally starts looking for IEEE 802.3, then Ethernet II, then
802.3 SNAP, etc. If your network is using multiple frame types for
NetWare, you should bias the frame search to the desired type by
setting the button next to the designation under

Ethernet Frame

Type

.

9.

You can

Disable Bindery

mode on the Print Server if you are

operating in NDS mode only. To do so, click on that box. If you
disable Bindery, the NIC will not support Print Servers on a Bind-
ery file server.

10. Once you have selected all desired settings and entered the desired

NetWare information, you may cause this information to be
entered in the NIC NVRAM by clicking on

Accept Settings

. As

with all value changes, if you have not entered the NIC Manage-
ment Password before, you must enter it in the appropriate space
before clicking on

Accept Settings

.

11. Entered values do not take effect until the NIC is reset or power

cycled. You may reset from MAP or the Web Browser by returning
to the Network Setting page, and click on

Reset

under

System

.

Now click on

Reset Unit

. Alternatively, you may power cycle the

printer. The new NetWare values should now be in effect.
