Novell NIC Configuration (10/100Base-T)

Changing The Print Server Mode (NDS & Bindery)

The NIC allows the user to store a particular mode for the unit to operate in.
This will be either NDS, Bindery, or autosense. If autosense is used, the NIC
will first attempt to log in to a NDS file server, and, if it fails, it will try to log in to
a Bindery file server.

HTML Method

1.

Load a Web browser on a network station that can communicate with the
print server over TCP/IP.

2.

Direct your Web browser to URL:

http://P5000LJIPaddress/networkConf.html

(e.g.,

http://192.75.11.9/networkConf.html

)

3.

Look under the “Novell” section and go to the “Service Type” field to
select the appropriate mode.

4.

Click on the SUBMIT button when done and physically re-power the
printer to make the new settings take effect.

Manual (Telnet) Method

1.

Telnet to the print server. This will bring up a login screen:

telnet ipaddress

2.

You should now see a prompt displayed that has the NIC’s IP address
followed by a colon then

root

.

ipaddress:root>

3.

At the prompt, enter:

store pserver novell mode [nds | bindery | auto]

4.

Reset the unit to make the changes take effect.

If you are using both NDS and Bindery file servers in your setup, make
sure the mode is set to auto.
