How NetWare 4.x/5.x is Different
Novell NetWare version 3.x uses a database called the bindery for
s t o r i n g i n f o r m a t i o n s u c h a s u s e r a n d g r o u p i n f o r m a t i o n , s e r v e r
configuration, and information about network services. Each NetWare 3.x
file server has its own bindery, which is administrated separately from
other file servers using commands such as SYSCON, PCONSOLE, and so
on.
N e t W a r e v e r s i o n 4 . x / 5 . x i m p r o v e d o n t h e b i n d e r y c o n c e p t b y
introducing NDS, NetWare Directory Services. NDS is a tree-structured
directory that is shared by a group of file servers on a network, allowing
centralized administration and easy coordination of users, permissions,
and resources between servers.
To make it possible for NetWare 4.x/5.x servers to coexist with
NetWare 3.x servers, NetWare 4.x/5.x supports bindery emulation, which
makes parts of the NDS directory visible to NetWare 3.x clients, just as if
the information were stored in a NetWare 3.x bindery. This allows clients
to access NetWare 4.x/5.x servers without being upgraded to the NetWare
4.x/5.x software, and for 3.x and 4.x/5.x servers to be mixed on a network.
Your PrintSir can operate either in bindery mode or NDS mode.
Bindery mode works with NetWare 3.x servers and with NetWare 4.x/5.x
servers using bindery emulation. NDS mode works with NetWare 4.x/5.x
servers.
NOTE : Though the PrintSir supports both bindery mode and NDS mode, it

5.3.1 Quick Installation Using “Install” program
The INSTALL program included on the CD-ROM can be used to
quickly set up the PrintSir for use. It can only be used to set up the
PrintSir as Server mode; it cannot be used to configure the PrintSir as
Remote Printer mode. To use this method,
