UCONNECT Can’t Communicate with Print Server

1)Check the correct Network Number and NIC Address have been entered

2)Ensure PeNetTM Print Server is functioning correctly (check the power LED and status page production)

Status Page Shows No Novell Server or Queue Details

1)If Server shows, but no Queue details, then no Print Queues have been assigned (See PCONSOLE Section 3.4 or consult your Novell Administrator)

2)See section on “PeNetTM Print Server Unable To Login” (below)

Print Server Is Unable To LOGIN To Novell Servers

1)Check that ‘Allow Unencrypted Passwords’ has been set to ON

2)Ensure that the units Name and Password are as allocated in

PCONSOLE

3)Check that there is a connection available for PeNetTM Print Server (use Monitor on the Server Console)

5.0 TCP/IP OPERATION

This section tells how to use the Print Server with a TCP/IP network. Functions described include locating the Print Server on the network, configuration, initialization, testing, printing, and FLASH EPROM upgrading.

5.1 Locating the Print Server on the TCP/IP Network

When used in the TCP/IP environment, the Print Server has one assigned Internet Address and one printer port.

5.1.1 Assigning the Internet Address

If it is not possible to use the UCONNECT utility to configure the units Internet Address, then the following method should be followed:

1. Create an entry in the ARP table using the Unix command :

arp -S [ether] IPaddress NICaddress where...

IPaddress is the required Internet Address

NICaddress is the units NIC address

2.Use PING to send this new IP address to the NIC address of the Print Server:

PING xx.xx.xx.xx where xx.xx.xx.xx is the IP address above

NOTE: This method will only work if the units Internet Address is currently set to 0.0.0.0 and PING will only affect the unit with the NIC address entered in the ARP table.

Some versions of Unix will require the ‘ether’ command to be entered as shown
