OkiNet for NDS

Overview

OkiNet for NDS is a Dynamic Link Library (DLL) which allows users to create and manage OKI print server objects in the NDS tree. OkiNet for NDS integrates into Novell’s NetWare Administrator, a Windows-based utility that allows users to view and manage their NetWare 4.x NDS tree. Once OkiNet for NDS is integrated into NetWare Administrator, users can manage OKI devices with the same utility used to manage other network objects such as printers and queues.

The OkiLAN 6120e supports NetWare NDS using Novell Embedded Systems Technology, also known as NEST.
