Configuring The Internal Ethernet Adapter For Novell
This chapter introduces the Internal Ethernet Adapter’s configuration
possibilities along with the various methods of printing available within a
Novell environment. The Internal Ethernet Adapter works with different
NetWare
versions, including version 4, and we provide setup steps for
each.
Host Software
NetWare’s PCONSOLE is generally used to change passwords, add
print servers, add remote printers, and add queues to be serviced. It
can be used for both a PSERVER or RPRINTER setup. To install an
Internal Ethernet Adapter in a Novell environment, PCONSOLE is used
for the entire installation. The following pages give step-by-step
examples of installing the Internal Ethernet Adapter in various Novell
environments.
NOTE: You can also use the NPWin software to configure the unit.
npsh nvplist
Lists all of the Internal Ethernet Adapter’s on the network; each name is
in the format M_
xxxxxx
(where
xxxxxx
equals the last six digits of the
unit’s Ethernet address) by defaulting regardless of whether it is
configured as a PSERVER or an RPRINTER.
npsh
unitname
Starts a Telnet-like session with the named Internal Ethernet Adapter
allowing you to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot the unit with its
built-in command set.
npsh
unitname command
Initiates a single command with guest access only to the unit instead
of entering into a complete session.
To communicate with the unit using npsh.exe, you need to:
1. From a DOS prompt on a Novell workstation, begin an npsh
session with the unit.
npsh
unitname
Starts a Telnet-like session with the named print server with guest
access only.
