Setting Up the Network Server
6–2
Printing on a NetWare 3.x, 4.x or 5.x Network
The NetWise™ features built into the DP-C106 supports the following
network operating environments:
• NetWare 5.x—Bindery and Novell Directory Services (NDS)
• NetWare 4.x—Novell Directory Services (NDS)
• NetWare 3.x—Bindery services
• Servers running NetWare 4.x in bindery emulation mode
The term bindery server refers to a Novell file server running NetWare
3.x or running NetWare 4.x and NetWare 5.x in emulation mode.
The term NDS describes components of a NetWare operating system
running NetWare 4.x in native mode.
Ethernet-based NetWare networks support the IPX/SPX protocol.
Setting up a NetWare environment correctly requires the cooperation of the
Novell network administrator. You must have administrator privileges on the
network to create new NDS or bindery objects.
NetWare clients print to the DP-C106 through the Novell network
server. Server setup and client network setup are outlined in this
chapter.
For information about client setup and printing refer to the installation
and printing chapters that are appropriate for the operating system.
The DP-C106 can receive print jobs from NetWare clients over the
Ethernet network topologies. During printer setup, you select the frame
type(s) that will be used for communication between the DP-C106 and
the network servers. Frame type refers to the format of a
communications packet; frame types are specified in a startup file
when the NetWare server (or any other workstation) loads its network
drivers.
IPX-supported client workstations running Windows 95/98/Me and
Windows NT 4.0 communicate directly to the printer, not through the
NetWare server.
