Chapter 7 Novell NIC Configuration (10/100Base-T)

6.Select the printer for which you wish to alter the poll time, and press ENTER.

7.Change the Sampling Interval to the desired number (in seconds).

NOTE: You may also want to change the “Service mode for forms” to “Change forms as needed.” If you do not do this, the NIC will need to poll the file server twice as much to get all the information it needs.

8.Press ESCAPE and select Yes to save the changes to this new printer.

9.Repower the NIC by turning the printer off and on to make the changes take effect.

Changing The NIC Name

(NDS And Bindery Setups)

When defining a new print queue on a Novell file server, you must define a new print server to represent the NIC. This name must match the predefined name given to the print server. By default, this name is in the format “M_xxxxxx” where “xxxxxx” equals the last six digits of the NIC’s Ethernet address found on the bottom of the device (e.g., “M_091C1A”). Make sure that the print server object you are using for your PSERVER setup has the same name as that stored on the NIC. If you need to rename the print server object in Netware Administrator, delete the object and re-create it with the new name. Netware Administrator seems to have some problems with renaming objects.

NOTE: Changing the name will affect all of the protocols that are running on the NIC.
