NOVELL NETWARE
Overview
The OkiLAN 7120e supports the Novell NetWare environment.
It is necessary to have NetWare Administrator or Supervisor rights to
change the configuration. This guide is for NetWare administrators. It
should be read in conjunction with the relevant Novell NetWare manual.
The latest Novell service packs and Novell client versions should be
installed.
Supported Versions and Modes
In NDS, the printer can be configured to work in either print server mode
or remote printer mode.
Remote Printer Mode
Remote Printer Mode requires a connection to be made to a workstation
running Pserver. Print jobs are received from the file server via the
NetWare print server. The network interface card emulates the
workstation on which the NetWare Rprinter operates. Remote Printer Mode
adds additional traffic to the network and is slower than Print Server Mode
but does not require any additional licences.
Print Server Mode (Recommended)
In Print Server Mode, the file server is logged in and the printer queue is
repeatedly polled to determine whether a print job exists. The NetWare
print server or workstation where Pserver runs is emulated. This enables
high speed printing without applying a load to the network. Print Server
Mode requires a single user NetWare licence.
Printing the Network Interface Card Configuration Sheet
The printer’s configuration page reports information required for NetWare
configuration. To print this page, with the printer is switched on, depress
the NIC’s push-button for three seconds and then release.
The information you require is the printer’s Ethernet address. The first six
characters of the Ethernet address are the same for all OkiLAN 7120e
network cards. The last six characters are unique to each card. This is all
the information that is required to setup the OkiLAN7120e for NetWare.
