Banyan VINES Network

Configuration

Overview

TROY XCD print servers that include the Banyan VINES IP protocol (refer to chapter 1 for specific protocol support information) allow printers to be shared on a Banyan VINES network. Users on client PCs send their jobs to any VINES file server running the Banyan PCPrint software, which in turn spools the jobs to the TROY XCD print server and the printer. Printing is transparent to user applications, and the print server can be managed using standard VINES utilities like MANAGE, MSERVICE, MUSER, and the Operator Console printer control. In addition, VINES users can print concurrently with users of NetWare, TCP/IP, and AppleTalk.

In order to use a TROY XCD print server on a VINES network, you will need the following:

Banyan's PCPrint software (a Banyan-supplied software option that is installed on the VINES file server)

Optional Banyan firmware on the TROY XCD external print server

TROY XCD XAdmin 16-bit utility software (on TROY XCD Print Server Software diskette or CD-ROM) or access to print server console via serial port, or through TELNET, DEC NCP or NCL, or TROY XCD XCONFIG
