LI The default interface setting is print server mode. If you are setting up the card for use in the Novell Net Ware environment, you will need to determine whether you want to set up the Ethernet Card in print server, remote printer, or Auto PrintServer/Remote mode.
Cl If you want to operate you printer in more than one network environment, install the interface for each network as described in the following chapters.
Terms and Concepts
A node address is a set of numbers that gives an item a unique identity, including a printer on a network.
The file server stores data required for the Ethernet Card to operate as a print server. Each Ethernet Card print server has one master file server, which you designate during initial setup.
A print queue is a directory on a file server where a print job is stored as a file, until the print server sends the job to the assigned printer.
A print server moves jobs from print queues to printers.
A remote printer is a shared printer connected elsewhere on the network, but under the control of a NetWare print server. Traditionally, a remote printer is connected to a network workstation running NetWare’s RPRINTER, but the Ethernet Card can also function as a remote printer.
A status sheet prints each time the Status Sheet button of the Ethernet Card is pushed. If the Card is installed as a print server, the status sheet lists the configurations of the Ethernet Card on each network.
