Setting Password Security
Besides the general security measures mentioned in Network Security on page 131, a
Novell setup provides further password security. A password can be set on the M208
and within your PCONSOLE setup so that when the M208 tries to login to the file
server, the passwords are compared.
To configure a PSERVER setup with password protection:
1 Establish a password on the M208.
Please use store pserver on page 120.
2 Reset or reboot the Print Server to make the password take affect.
3 Enter PCONSOLE as supervisor on your Novell host.
4 Select PRINT SERVER INFORMATION from the Main Menu.
5 Select the appropriate M208 and press <Enter>.
6 Select CHANGE PASSWORD.
7 At the prompts, type and retype the new password used on this M208 PSERVER.
Press <Enter> when you are finished.
These steps may vary for NetWare 4 environments.

important file servers. If this feature is not enabled, the M208 will only acknowledge
the first 16 file servers it senses.
