3.5 UCONNECT Commands
Once the UCONNECT utility has been copied to the hard drive, type UCONNECT at the DOS prompt and press [ENTER] to execute the program.
UCONNECT is a menu driven program. To work within the menus, use the arrow keys to scroll up and down between menu items. The [esc] key is a toggle switch used to select and deselect menu items to be edited. The [ENTER] key is used to update the file and move to another menu screen. Some screens have slightly different commands. These are noted on the screen itself.
4.0 NOVELL OPERATION
This section tells how to use the Print Server with a Novell network. Functions described include locating the Print Server on the network, configuration, testing, printing, and FLASH EPROM upgrading. For instructions on use of the Print Server within a TCP/IP network that is not Novell based, please refer to Section 5.0.
Note: the appearance of many of the screens will vary based upon the configuration of your particular network. The network component names show are examples only.
4.1 Locating the Print Server on the Network
The Print Server has a unique NIC Address that has been provided by Patton Electronics with the approval of the ISO council (this NIC Address has been marked on a label on the underside of the unit). Before the Print Server can be configured, operated, tested or upgraded, it must be located and recognized by the network. Using the UCONNECT utility, follow these steps to locate the print server:
1)Having completed the instructions in Section 3.0, you should see the Main Menu screen.
2)Select “Configuration” and press [ENTER]. This will take you to the Specify Print Server Address screen (following page).
