Mandatory

Under all Novell environments, the Ethernet Interface does not
require any network settings to make it visible on the network.
Simply plug it in to your network and power it on. However, with a
new print queue setup on a Novell file server, there can be
mandatory settings needed on the Ethernet Interface.

Optional

Additional settings are available to fine-tune the Ethernet
Interface’s Novell functionality. These options include:
•NDS Context. The NDS context in which the print server object
was created. If you create the printer server object in a different
file server object from the file server you logged into, then to
ensure the absolute path, you must activate the NDS context.
•NDS Tree. The NDS tree the print server object was created in.
This is only needed if your environment uses more than one
NDS tree.
•Mode. The mode the Ethernet Interface will run in. This can be
auto, bindery, or NDS. The default is auto so that the Ethernet
Interface can autosense which mode it should run in. See
“NetWare Version 4.x and 5.x RPRINTER Setup” on page 185
for information on what to do when using both bindery and NDS
file servers at the same time.
