the list of file servers to be serviced, the automatic search is dropped and the print server will go directly to those file servers listed (and to no others).

4.1.8Primary File Server

To use the primary file server option, use the following procedure on a file server close to the printer:

1.List the file servers to be serviced by the primary file server by selecting File Server To Be Serviced option from the Print Server Configuration Menu.

2.Press the INSERT key to display the Available File Servers list.

3.Select the name of each file server to be serviced and press the ENTER key to add it to the File Servers To Be Serviced list.

4.When the list is complete, press the ESC key to return to the menu.

5.Install the Network Interface Board on each of the primary file servers.

4.1.9Preferred File Servers

The MAP or Web Browser utilities allow you to identify a preferred file server, to be identified within the Network Interface Board itself. If a preferred file server is listed, the Network Interface Board will attach to this identified file server instead of initiating the automatic search. If the preferred file server is also a primary file server (for example, has file servers listed under file servers to be serviced), the Network Interface Board will connect directly to these file servers.

Note: The Preferred File Server is only applicable to bindery-based queues. Entering it has no affect on NDS queues.

4.2Configuring NetWare 4.x Bindery Emulation

Novell's NetWare 4.x can operate in two modes NetWare Directory Services (NDS) and Bindery Services Emulation. For Directory Services, ð refer to 4.3 Configuring the Network Interface Board in NetWare Directory Services.

These services run simultaneously and transparently to each other. The Network Interface Board may be configured to operate with Bindery Services mode only (this section), or to operate under NDS (ð 4.3 Configuring the Network Interface Board in NetWare Directory Services ). When configured under NDS, the Network Interface Board will also service older file servers operating in bindery mode.

Note: If the Network Interface Board is not properly set up for NDS and the Bindery Services mode is not running, the Network Interface Board can not find its file servers, and the status page indicates the Novell NetWare protocol is not active.

4.2.1Confirm Bindery Context

Before installing the Network Interface Board on a Novell NetWare 4.x server in Bindery Emulation mode, check that the server has a Bindery Context (name for the server under Bindery Services mode). If the server does not have Bindery Context, it may be preferable to install in NDS mode. If the Network Interface Board must be installed in the Bindery
