The Monarch print server supports the NetBEUI and NetBIOS IP protocols for
printing on Microsoft-compatible networks (refer to chapter 1 for specific protocol
support information). Because they also support the SMB protocol, the print server
automatically appears in the Windows Network Neighborhood and can be managed
using standard operating system utilities.
NOTE: The workstation will automatically use NetBIOS IP if TCP/IP is enabled on
it. It will use NetBEUI only if TCP/IP is not available.
NetBIOS IP operation and support for more than one port requires V3.62
or later firmware. The latest firmware is available on the Internet at
http://www.xcd.com.
If you are using NetBIOS IP, you must first configure the print server with
a valid IP address using the XAdmin32 utility as described in Chapter 3.
You may also need to set the WINS primary and secondary servers using
the commands SET NETBIOS METHOD, SET NETBIOS PRIMARY, and
SET NETBIOS SECONDARY commands from the print server console.
This is not required if you are using NetBEUI only.

To use the print server with a Microsoft network, you must know which domain it
resides on. By default, Microsoft networks use the domain name WORKGROUP, so
if you have not specifically configured a domain name for your network, you may
use the name WORKGROUP and skip the remainder of this section.
If you have a different domain name, then you must configure this name into the
print server. To do this, you may use XAdmin32, XAdmin, WebXAdmin, or the print
server console to connect to the print server (refer to Chapter 3 for information on
installing and using these utilities):
♦ With XAdmin32, double click on the print server name and then click on the
NetBIOS tab. Then enter the desired domain name.
