Mandatory
Under all Novell environments, the NIC does not require any
network settings to make it visible on the network. Simply plug it in
to your network and power it on. However, with a new print queue
setup on a Novell file server, there can be mandatory settings
needed on the NIC.
Optional
Additional settings are available to fine-tune the NIC’s Novell
functionality. These options include:
• NDS Context. The NDS context in which the print server object
was created. If you create the printer server object in a different
file server object from the file server you logged into, then to
ensure the absolute path, you must activate the NDS context.
• NDS Tree. The NDS tree the print server object was created in.
This is only needed if your environment uses more than one
NDS tree.
• Mode. The mode the NIC will run in. This can be auto, bindery,
or NDS. The default is auto so that the NIC can autosense
which mode it should run in. See “NetWare Version 4.x and 5.x
RPRINTER Setup” on page 166 for information on what to do
when using both bindery and NDS file servers at the same
time.
