NetWare Network

Configuration

Configuring the Print Server and Print Queue with XAdmin32
(Queue Server Mode)

This section covers installation using the Novell client.

Note:
TROY recommends you use the Novell 32-bit client on your Windows worksta-
tion instead of the Microsoft NetWare client, because it allows direct configura-
tion of print queues without the need for a Novell utility like NWAdmin or PCON-
SOLE.

The EtherWind automatically makes itself known on a NetWare network. The
default NetWare Print Server name is XCD_xxxxxx_P1, where "xxxxxx" is the last
six digits of the Ethernet address (the Ethernet address is on a label that is affixed
to the EtherWind). Note that the NetWare Print Server name is used for either
NDS or bindery mode configuration.

If you are configuring the first port with XAdmin32, the NDS Printer Name for
this port is automatically assigned as "XCD_xxxxxx_P1 Printer". If you are using
an alternate configuration method like NWAdmin, you may assign any unique
name for the printer.

The Print Server and Printer names are used extensively during the configuration
process, so be sure to remember them. Note that these names are actually the
names of the print server's NetWare services. If desired, you can change the default
names using XAdmin32 or WebAdmin.

Follow these steps to configure the queue server:

1. Make sure you are logged in as

ADMIN

or equivalent (NetWare 4.xx and

above) or

SUPERVISOR

(NetWare 2.xx and 3.xx).
