4.4 NIC Configuration
6.If the Print Server is to be operated under Novell Directory Ser- vices, type in a Context entry and Preferred NDS Tree entry in the appropriate fields. Be sure to give the whole context, whether typed or typeless, and do not begin your context path with a trail- ing period (.). If you don’t know your tree, type: whoami at the DOS command line. A typed context name example is:
ou=standard.ou=organization_1
7.In the default mode, the Print Server scans each queue which it is to service once per second. If you prefer a longer scan rate, you may enter the time between scans in seconds in the Print Queue Scan Rate field.
8.The NIC will normally monitor the network to determine which frame type is being used for NetWare. When it recognizes a type, it will assume the same frame type. Once it selects a frame type, the NIC will only operate over that NetWare frame type. Monitor- ing normally starts looking for IEEE 802.3, then Ethernet II, then 802.3 SNAP, etc. If your network is using multiple frame types for NetWare, you should bias the frame search to the desired type by setting the button next to the designation under Ethernet Frame Type.
9.You can Disable Bindery mode on the Print Server if you are operating in NDS mode only. To do so, click on that box. If you disable Bindery, the NIC will not support Print Servers on a Bind- ery file server.
10.Once you have selected all desired settings and entered the desired NetWare information, you may cause this information to be entered in the NIC NVRAM by clicking on Accept Settings. As with all value changes, if you have not entered the NIC Manage- ment Password before, you must enter it in the appropriate space before clicking on Accept Settings.
11.Entered values do not take effect until the NIC is reset or power cycled. You may reset from MAP or the Web Browser by return- ing to the Network Settings page, and click on Reset under Sys- tem. Now click on Reset Unit. Alternatively, you may power cycle the printer. The new NetWare values should now be in effect.
