Chapter 7 Novell Ethernet Interface Configuration (10/100Base-T)

6. Select the printer for which you wish to alter the poll time, and
press ENTER.
7. Change the “Sampling Interval” to the desired number (in
seconds).
NOTE: You may also want to change the “Service mode for forms”
to “Change forms as needed.” If you do not do this, the
Ethernet Interface will need to poll the file server twice as
much to get all the information it needs.
8. Press ESCAPE and select “Yes” to save the changes to this
new printer.
9. Repower the Ethernet Interface by turning the printer off and on
to make the changes take effect.
Changing The Ethernet Interface Name
(NDS and Bindery Setups)
When defining a new print queue on a Novell file server, you must
define a new print server to represent the Ethernet Interface. This
name must match the predefined name given to the print server.
For the Ethernet Adapter, the default is M_xxxxxx, where xxxxxx
represents the last six digits of the network adapter's Ethernet
address (e.g., M_091C1A).
Make sure that the print server object you are using for your
PSERVER setup has the same name as that stored on the
Ethernet Interface. If you need to rename the print server object in
Netware Administrator, delete the object and re-create it with the
new name. Netware Administrator seems to have some problems
with renaming objects.
NOTE: Changing the name will affect all of the protocols that are
running on the Ethernet Interface.
