Installing and Printing on NetWare

Chapter 4 describes how to use ACT (Advanced Configuration Tool) and PCONSOLE for installing, configuring, and managing FastPort on NetWare networks.

Note: For users of the MIL-3300 series of FastPort, use the ACT3300.EXE utility to configure FastPort.

4.1 Introduction

Note: When using Novell NetWare’s client utilities refer to NetWare’s docs.

1.Identify whether FastPort will be installed in:

a.NetWare 2.x, 3.x bindery environments, or

b.NetWare 4.x NDS environment.

2.Either way, copy ACT from the CD-ROM to your system (refer to Appendix C for installing and configuring ACT).

3.Install FastPort in a 2.x or 3.x bindery mode, steps includes:

a.Creating a print server and print queue object on the NetWare server, then attaching the two together.

b.Creating a config. file that describes the file server and print queue to service. Store this file on the preferred server: sys:/login/ milan directory as FPXXXXXX.

c.Storing the name of the server in NVRAM, so it knows where to search for its configuration file. Do this with ACT or FastManage.

4.Install in a NetWare 4.x NDS, steps include:

a.Creating a print server, printer, and print queue in the NDS database using either NWADMIN or PCONSOLE.

b.Storing context/tree where the print server object was created in NVRAM. This can be done with ACT, FastManage, or most other Digi configuration utilities.
