Limiting the Silentwriter to a Single File Server
NetWare network operating system software allows a
single printer to connect to multiple file servers. You can
connect your Silentwriter to up to 8 file servers. On
multiple file server networks, the Silentwriter searches
for and contacts any file servers reachable through the
router. If your NetWare network uses an analog or
digital telephone network, for example via an ISDN
router, scanning for file servers can result in poor
system performance as well as high network costs. To
prevent scanning for file servers and limit the printer to
only one file server, follow the steps below.
1.
Select the printer you want to change from the list of
printers in the Printer Administration window.
2.
From the Printer Administration window click the
NetWare button or select the NetWare menu option
from the Configure menu.
3.
In the NetWare Configuration dialog box specify a
single file server in the Limited File Server text box.
4.
Select the Save button to save the limited file server
and leave the NetWare Configuration dialog box
Or
Select the Cancel button to keep the previous
configuration and leave the NetWare Configuration
dialog box.
Once you have specified a single file server, the
NEC 1765 software will no longer scan for file servers
and the scan interval will change to 0.
Changing NetWare File Server Scanning
You may choose whether or not NEC 1765 software will

leave the NetWare Configuration dialog box
Or
Select the Cancel button to keep the old name and
leave the NetWare Configuration dialog box.
Changing NetWare File Server Scan Interval
If NEC 1765 Administration software is scanning for file
servers, you can change the scan interval. The scan
interval is measured in minutes and you can choose an
interval between 1 and 255 minutes. The default is 5
minutes. If you have specified a limited file server or
turned Scan for File Servers off, the scan interval will be
set to 0.

interval and leave the NetWare Configuration
dialog box.
