specify which File Servers the Print
Server will search for its queues etc.

Notify List for Printer

This option may be used to specify

This option is used to configure
printer connected to the PeNetTM

Queues Serviced by Printer

It is possible to specify which
queues the connected printer will

specified for each print server.

If necessary, create a new queue by selecting Print Queue

create new print queues to be served by PeNetTM Print Server.

A test file can be printed while in PCONSOLE using the

then ENTER to obtain a list of files to print.

3.5 UCONNECT Commands

Once the UCONNECT utility has been copied to the hard drive,

type UCONNECT at the DOS prompt and press [ENTER] to execute the

UCONNECT is a menu driven program. To work within the menus,

use the arrow keys to scroll up and down between menu items. The
[esc] key is a toggle switch used to select and deselect menu items to
be edited. The [ENTER] key is used to update the file and move to
another menu screen. Some screens have slightly different commands.

4.0 NOVELL OPERATION

This section tells how to use the Print Server with a Novell network.

Functions described include locating the Print Server on the network,
configuration, testing, printing, and FLASH EPROM upgrading. For
instructions on use of the Print Server within a TCP/IP network that is

not

Novell based, please refer to Section 5.0.

4.1 Locating the Print Server on the Network

The Print Server has a unique NIC Address that has been provided

by Patton Electronics with the approval of the ISO council (this NIC
Address has been marked on a label on the underside of the unit).
Before the Print Server can be configured, operated, tested or
upgraded, it must be located and recognized by the network. Using
the UCONNECT utility, follow these steps to locate the print server:

1) Having completed the instructions in Section 3.0, you should see the
Main Menu screen.

2) Select “Configuration” and press [ENTER]. This will take you to the
Specify Print Server Address screen (following page).

Note:

the appearance of many of the screens will vary based
upon the configuration of your particular network. The
network component names show are examples only.
