Troubleshooting (10/100Base-T)

PSERVER Setup

If you cannot get a connection with the Ethernet Interface after completing the print setup, confirm the following:

•Have you tried repowering the Ethernet Interface? Wait about a minute before checking if it has logged in and attached to a queue.

•Is the network connector fastened tightly to the unit?

•Is the Ethernet Interface already servicing a queue on another file server? If so, it cannot service another file server at the same time.

•Is there an available Netware user license for the Ethernet Interface to utilize while it acts as a PSERVER? Every PSERVER takes up one user license since it logs in to the Novell file server.

•When going through the PSERVER setup steps, did you name the Ethernet Interface M_xxxxxx, where xxxxxx represents the last six digits of the network adapter's Ethernet address? This is the default format of the unit’s name when it is acting as a

PSERVER.

NOTE: This “M_xxxxxx” and name must have six digits after the “_” so, if necessary, pad out each byte with a zero (0).

•Has the Ethernet Interface’s name been changed from its default of “M_xxxxxx” and if so, have you incorporated this new name into your PSERVER setup?

•Is there a password set for the print server to utilize when it is logging in to the file server? Make sure the Ethernet Interface’s PSERVER password matches that of the PSERVER setup, or set both places to no password.
