PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
4-10 XEROX DOCUPRINT NETWORK PRINTER SERIES INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE FOR MODELS 96/4635/180 NPS
DocuPrint NPS as a remote printer (RPRINTER)
Provide the following information to the service representative if you
configure DocuPrint NPS as a remote printer on the Novell network
(for further information, refer to the “Installation” chapter of this
guide):
• Novell print server name—indicates the name of the print
server to which the DocuPrint will connect. An advertising print
server with this name must be running on the Novell internet.
• Printer name(s) to service—refers to the name(s) of the printers
defined for the Novell print server. Virtual printers should be
defined with these names after DocuPrint NPS installation is
complete. These printers should be defined as type Remote
Other/Unknown.
IPX internal network number Specify the network number for the internal IPX network in the
DocuPrint server. This number must be globally unique within the
NetWare internet to which the DocuPrint NPS is connected. (Do not
assign a number that is used by other machines to which the
DocuPrint NPS will be connected.)
LAN network number Specify the network number for the cabling system to which the
DocuPrint NPS is connected, for example the Ethernet or Token Ring
segment.
Network framing type Specify the network framing type used for IPX/SPX communication
by DocuPrint NPS. There are eight options:
• ETHERNET__II
• ETHERNET__802.3
• ETHERNET__802.2
• ETHERNET__SNAP
• TOKENRING
• TOKENRING__SNAP
• FDDI
• FDDI__SNAP.
Choose a framing type that is used by the file server that
communicates with the DocuPrint NPS. You must make sure that
you specify only one framing type, as multiple framing types are not
supported. Therefore, when you are using print server and remote
printer, and have the DocuPrint NPS communicate with a different
machine for each, you must select a framing type that works with
both machines.
If you are installing a new Novell network using Ethernet, it is
recommended that you choose the ETHERNET__II framing type for
the file server and the DocuPrint NPS. If you are using Token Ring
and the Novell server has both TOKENRING and
TOKENRING__SNAP enabled, use TOKENRING on the DocuPrint
NPS. For FDDI networks running Novell, it is recommended that you
choose the FDDI framing type.
TCP/IP, Novell 3.x, and AppleTalk network protocols are supported
over FDDI. The FDDI supports a Single Connection configuration
only.
