NIC destinations are case sensitive and will not be recognized if they are
typed incorrectly. By default, they are all lower case. If you are setting up a
NetWare 4 or 5 environment, the destination must be renamed to uppercase
to match the PCONSOLE entry.

The NIC can be used in a NetWare 4 or 5 environment with either of the
following options:

Set the NIC up as a PSERVER, replacing a dedicated printer.

Set the NIC up as an RPRINTER, interacting with an existing PSERVER
(see page 213).

Following a PSERVER setup, bindery emulation is required. To configure the
NIC as a PSERVER in a NetWare 4 environment:

1.

Log in to the Novell as supervisor.
