33-1 DocuColor on an IPX network

Chapter 3: Setting up Network Servers

This chapter describes environments that typically include one or more network servers—Novell NetWare servers and Windows NT servers—that will share printing to the DocuColor Color Server. It describes setting up servers that use IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols for communicating with the DocuColor. In addition, it includes some guidelines for setting up direct communication from Windows NT workstations and UNIX workstations, where a network server is optional. The chapter also outlines the requirements for network clients to print to the DocuColor and to run the remote utilities and the WebTools.

If your network is based on Windows NT, skip to page 3-18. If your network includes UNIX workstations, skip to page 3-29.

NOTE: Setting up a NetWare environment correctly requires the presence and active cooperation of the Novell network administrator. You must have administrator privi- leges on the network to create new NDS or bindery objects.

DocuColor on an IPX network

The NEST (Novell Embedded Systems Technology) software built into the DocuColor supports the following network operating environments:

•NetWare 4.x—NDS

•NetWare 3.12—Bindery services

•Servers running NetWare 4.x in bindery emulation mode

The term “bindery server” is used to refer to a Novell file server running NetWare 3.12, or running NetWare 4.x in emulation mode. The term “NDS” is used to describe components of a NetWare operating system running NetWare 4.x in native mode.

NOTE: “NDS” is used interchangeably as an abbreviation for either Novell Directory Services or NetWare Directory Services. There is no difference between the two.

NetWare clients print to the DocuColor through the Novell network server. Server setup and client network setup are outlined here. Client printing setup is described in the Getting Started, and printing is described in the User Guide.
