Toshiba GA-1120 manual Setting up an NDS connection, Setting the NetWare 4.x bindery context

22-12 Setting up Network Servers

Setting up an NDS connection

In NDS, all NetWare entities (objects) are organized in a hierarchical tree structure. Objects have a name, properties, and a context that defines the location of the object in the directory tree. For the GA-1120, you are mainly concerned with defining a printer, a print server object, and one or more print queue objects. Objects are created in NetWare administrator programs such as PCONSOLE, NETADMIN, or NetWare Administrator.

The top-level tree object is known as the [Root] object. The name of the [Root] object is also the name of the tree. Below the [Root] are other objects: either containers (which consist of other objects) or leaf objects (which do not contain other objects). Access to objects is controlled by rights that are defined as properties of each object. Rights are established by network administrators.

Setting the NetWare 4.x bindery context

You can connect only one directory tree to the GA-1120. If you need to connect additional NetWare 4.x servers, you can do so by using bindery emulation. You can connect up to eight bindery servers to the GA-1120.

NOTE: The file server you select must not be in the same tree as the one you selected in NDS Setup.

In order to set up the NetWare 4.x server in bindery emulation mode for printing to the GA-1120, the network administrator must do the following:

•Determine the Directory Services path to the container in which the print server and the print queue for the GA-1120 will be created.

The container defines the “bindery context” for your network structure.

•Edit the network startup file to set the bindery context.

•Activate the new bindery context.
