The settings accessible from the EtherP Admin Preferences dialog window are:

♦Load Environment File on Startup/Discover Environment on Startup Determines whether EtherP Admin should load a file listing all of the print servers on the network and their addresses, or if it should search the network each time it starts.

♦Communication Timeout Determines how long EtherP Admin will wait for a request sent to the print server to receive a response. You may have to increase this number if you have a large network.

♦Communication Retries Determines how many times EtherP Admin will try again if it doesn’t receive a response from a print sever.

♦Discover Local Network/Discover Selected Networks Determines whether EtherP Admin should discover print servers on your local IPX network only, or if it should also search other networks reachable from your workstation.

Pressing the More... button will display the IPX Network Segments window, which allows you to choose which networks will be searched. You can choose All Network Segments to discover servers on all reachable networks, or Selected Network Segments to select which networks you want to search in the displayed list.

♦Sort Server Name List Determines whether or not the list of servers should be sorted.

♦Save Settings on Exit Determines whether or not EtherP Admin settings, for example filter definitions, should be saved when you exit EtherP Admin.
