Configuring The Internal Ethernet Adapter For Novell

This chapter introduces the Internal Ethernet Adapter’s configuration possibilities along with the various methods of printing available within a Novell environment. The Internal Ethernet Adapter works with different NetWare® versions, including version 4, and we provide setup steps for each.

Host Software

NetWare’s PCONSOLE is generally used to change passwords, add print servers, add remote printers, and add queues to be serviced. It can be used for both a PSERVER or RPRINTER setup. To install an Internal Ethernet Adapter in a Novell environment, PCONSOLE is used for the entire installation. The following pages give step-by-step examples of installing the Internal Ethernet Adapter in various Novell environments.

NOTE: You can also use the NPWin software to configure the unit.

npsh nvplist

Lists all of the Internal Ethernet Adapter’s on the network; each name is in the format M_xxxxxx (where xxxxxx equals the last six digits of the unit’s Ethernet address) by defaulting regardless of whether it is configured as a PSERVER or an RPRINTER.

npsh unitname

Starts a Telnet-like session with the named Internal Ethernet Adapter allowing you to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot the unit with its built-in command set.

npsh unitname command

Initiates a single command with guest access only to the unit instead of entering into a complete session.

To communicate with the unit using npsh.exe, you need to:

1.From a DOS prompt on a Novell workstation, begin an npsh session with the unit.

npsh unitname
