3-6 Setting up Network Servers
Setting up an NDS connection
In NDS, all NetWare entities (objects) are organized in a hierarchical tree structure.
Objects have a name, properties, and a context which defines the location of the object
in the directory tree. For the DocuColor you are mainly concerned with defining a
printer, a print server object and one or more print queue objects. Objects are created
in NetWare administrator programs (PCONSOLE or NETADMIN which are text-
based, or NetWare Administrator which has a graphical user interface and context-sen-
sitive help).
NOTE: “NDS” is used interchangeably as an abbreviation for either Novell Directory
Services or NetWare Directory Services. There is no difference between the two.
The top-level tree object is known as the [Root] object. The name of the [Root] object
is also the name of the tree. Below the [Root] are other objects: either containers
(which consist of other objects) or leaf objects (which do not contain other objects).
Access to objects is controlled by rights that are defined as properties of each object.
Rights are established by network administrators.
NOTE: The procedures that follow work with all versions of NetWare 4.x.
With NetWare 4.11 or later, you can combine the procedures using the Print Services
Quick Setup dialog box.
TO CREATE AN NDS PRINT QUEUE:
1. Start NetWare Administrator and select the container in which you are going to define
the print queue for the DocuColor.
2. Choose Create from the Object menu.
3. In the New Object dialog box, select Print Queue.
4. In the Create Print Queue dialog box, select Directory Service Queue.
5. Enter a name for the print queue with the queue extension: DocuColor_print, for
example.
See page 3-3 for queue naming conventions.
6. Click the browser button to select a print queue volume.
