Limiting the Silentwriter to a Single File Server
NetWare network operating system software allows a single printer to connect to multiple file servers. You can connect your Silentwriter to up to 8 file servers. On multiple file server networks, the Silentwriter searches for and contacts any file servers reachable through the router. If your NetWare network uses an analog or digital telephone network, for example via an ISDN router, scanning for file servers can result in poor system performance as well as high network costs. To prevent scanning for file servers and limit the printer to only one file server, follow the steps below.
1.Select the printer you want to change from the list of printers in the Printer Administration window.
2.From the Printer Administration window click the NetWare button or select the NetWare menu option from the Configure menu.
3.In the NetWare Configuration dialog box specify a single file server in the Limited File Server text box.
4.Select the Save button to save the limited file server and leave the NetWare Configuration dialog box Or
Select the Cancel button to keep the previous configuration and leave the NetWare Configuration dialog box.
Once you have specified a single file server, the
NEC 1765 software will no longer scan for file servers and the scan interval will change to 0.
