8:DLC Configuration for LAN Manager

The EZWebCon configuration software is the easiest way to configure the MPS. This chapter explains DLC/Digital Network Port configuration for Windows NT 4.x hosts.

Note: The Server needs an IP address before you can use EZWebCon. See Setting the IP Address on page 4-1 for instructions.

Printing using an LPD client is the preferred method for sending print jobs to the MPS. Windows 95 does not support DLC printing (see Chapter 4 for more information).
