installation strategy with greater understanding of the

 

consequences of your decisions.

 

The following guidelines should make you aware of potential

 

issues, but cannot possibly take the place of your knowledge and

 

experience in administering your own network. Use them as a

 

starting point from which to develop your own installation plan.

 

Notify Users

 

Whether you are upgrading an existing system or installing a new

 

one, you want to limit the inconvenience to users. You should

 

provide advance notification that walk-up functions and network

 

printing will be disabled temporarily. We also recommend

 

installing or upgrading your system during non-peak hours to

 

minimize the impact on network traffic.

 

Consider Network Protocol Limitations

 

The following sections outline the various configuration options

 

the GL-1020 supports as well as any limitations you may

 

encounter.

 

GL-1020-Supported Protocols

 

 

Protocol

Considerations and Limitations

 

 

TCP/IP

• Required to manage the device using TopAccess.

 

• Required for LPD printing.

 

• If you will be using DHCP for IP address acquisition, which

 

may assign different IP addresses to the GL-1020, consider set-

 

ting up WINS servers for host name resolution.

 

• Running the GL-1020 as a print server in a Novell environ-

 

ment over IP is not supported. However, you can use the con-

 

troller as a printer agent if you have set up NDPS printing.

 

 

IPX/SPX

• Running the GL-1020 as a print server in a Novell environ-

 

ment is supported only over IPX/SPX. NetWare 5.x and 6.x

 

default to TCP/IP.

 

• The frame type is set to Auto Sense by default. To optimize the

 

GL-1020 for your network, you may want to set the frame type

 

yourself, which you can do locally from the copier’s control

 

panel, or remotely using TopAccess.
