Login as Supervisor and start PCONSOLE. Define the Print Queue. If a Print Queue already exists which will be assigned to the printer, skip to step 3. Select Print Queue Information from the Available Options menu Press INSERT, type a name for the new queue to be serviced by the NIC and press ENTER. Press ESCAPE to return to the Available Options Menu. Define the Print Server Select Print Server Information from the Available Options menu. Press INSERT, type the NIC Print Server name and press ENTER. The default Print Server name is OTS_ followed by the six-digit serial number of the NIC, e.g. OTS_161523. The serial number is listed on the bottom of the NIC and is displayed on the NIC box. If the NIC has already been installed, the Novell Print Server Name can be found on the power-up network status page under Novell Network Information. Define the Printer. Press ENTER with the new Print Server Highlighted, select Print Server Configuration, the select Printer Configuration. Select Printer 0 and define a more meaningful name for the printer if desired. The printer name is displayed in various NetWare printing messages such as when notifying users that their job is completed. Set the TYPE field to Remote/Other Unknown. Press ESCAPE to exit and select Yes to save the changes. Press ESCAPE again to return to the Printer Server Configuration menu. Assign the Print Queue. Select Queues Serviced By Printer, highlight the desired printer on the Defined Printers list and press ENTER. Press INSERT to display the Available Queues List. Select the desired queue and assign a Priority level (recommended choice is 1). Press ESCAPE when finished and continue pressing ESCAPE to exit PCONSOLE. Confirm Successful Configuration. Turn the printer off and on and wait for a power-up network status page to print. If the network is large, the power-up status page may take several minutes to print. (Note: This time may be reduced by setting a Preferred File Server for the NIC with the Management Access Program. Refer to the NetWare section of the NIC User's Manual for more information.) The Novell Connection Information in the bottom half of the status page displays the printer name, file server, queue, etc. If it displays Attached: Yes, this confirms that the NIC Print Server is ready to accept print jobs. If the status page does not display Attached: Yes, please verify that the Novell Print Server Name on the status page under Novell Network Information matches exactly with the Print Server name that was entered in PCONSOLE or refer to the troubleshooting section in the User's Manual. 1 3. 4. 5. 6. NetWare 4.x Directory Services Configuration 1. 2. 3. 4. Windows NT 4.0 Click on the Windows Start button; select Settings and Control Panel. Double click on Network and select the Protocols tab. If TCP/IP Protocol is not in the list of Network Protocols, click on Add to install it. Select the Services tab. If either Microsoft TCP/IP Printing or Simple TCP/IP Services is not on the list of Network Services, click on Add to install them. Click on Close when all protocols and services have been added. If the TCP/IP protocol has just been added, Windows will prompt for the IP address and other TCP/IP parameters. The new protocols and services will not be available until the system is restarted. NIC TCP/IP Configuration A utility called NTBOOTP is used to configure the IP parameters on the NIC. Note: The NTBOOTP utility does not work on a system configured as a DHCP server. 1. 2. 3. 4. Insert the disk included. In the Windows NT 3.51 Program Manager, select File and choose Run. In Windows NT 4.0, click on the Windows Start button and select Run. Type :\NTBOOTP.EXE and click OK to launch the utility. Select Configure from the Admin menu. Enter the IP parameters. Enter the IP address to assign to the NIC. Enter the Subnet mask. If unsure of the correct Subnet mask and the first number in the NIC's IP address is from 192 to 254, then use 255.255.255.0 as the Subnet mask. Enter the Default Gateway address (the router's IP address) or leave blank. Enter the Hardware address of the NIC. This address is listed on the power-up network status page under Network Address, for example, 00:40:af:13:c9:f0. Please enter it as it appears on the status page. The status pages (a printer status page and a NIC network status page) may also be printed by pressing the Status key on the front panel of the printer. Click on Go to send the new settings to the NIC. After a few minutes (usually between 1 and 2 minutes, but possibly up to 5 minutes on very large or busy networks), the NIC will reset and print its network status page. The new IP parameters will be listed in the TCP/IP Network Information section of the status page. If the status page doesn't print, recheck the Hardware Address entry in NTBOOTP. (If the power-up status page has been disabled, press the Status key on the printer's front panel.) Once the status page prints, the new IP address may also be verified by selecting Verify from the Admin menu. 5. 2 Bindery vs. NDS Setup In addition to its native NDS (NetWare Directory Services), NetWare 4.x can also be used in Bindery emulation. Bindery emulation is provided on the NIC for users more familiar with the NetWare Bindery than with NDS. If Bindery emulation is preferred, please refer to the NetWare section of the NIC User's Manual. PCONSOLE vs. NWADMIN Setup NetWare 4.x setup can be done with either PCONSOLE or NWADMIN. This Quick Configuration Guide includes the procedures in PCONSOLE because fewer steps are required than with NWADMIN. (Not all versions of NWADMIN Include the Print Services Quick Setup option). If setup with NWADMIN is preferred, please refer to the NetWare section of the NIC User's Manual. Configuration Utilities This configuration is accomplished using two utilities, NetWare's PCONSOLE and the Windows-based Management Access Program (MAP) included with the NIC. PCONSOLE Configuration 1. 2. Enter PCONSOLE. Set the Current "Context". Context is the NetWare term for a specific location in the Directory Services tree. The current context is displayed in the upper left-hand corner of the screen. This is where the Print Server, Printer, and Queue will be located. If this is not the desired context for these objects, use the following procedure to change the current context. Select Change Context from the PCONSOLE main menu. Press INSERT to browse to the desired context. Highlight the desired context and press F10. Once in the desired context, make a note of it as displayed in the upper left-hand corner of the screen. This context will need to be entered during the configuration with the Management Access Program. Print Server Context: 3 3. Define the Print Server, Printer and Queue. Select Quick Setup to display the Print Services Quick Setup screen. Note: If you do not have sufficient rights to create objects in this context, Quick Setup will not appear on the menu. You must have the Object Create right in order to add Print Services. NetWare inserts a default name or existing Print Server name in the Print Server field. Press ENTER and then INSERT to define the new Print Server. Do Not use any spaces in the Print Server name. Make a note of the new Print Server Name, as it must be duplicated exactly during setup with the Management Access Program. Print Server Name: Press ENTER at the New Printer and New Print Queue field to define desired names for these objects. Move to the Print Queue Volume field and press ENTER. Press INSERT and browse to the desired volume to use for this print queue. Move to the Printer Type field and press ENTER. Select Other/Unknown from the list. Press F10 to save this configuration and return to the PCONSOLE main menu. 4. Optional: Assign queue users, select printer notification options, and/or define a Print Server password. If a Print Server password is defined, make a note of it, as it must be duplicated exactly during setup with the Management Access Program. Print Server Password: 5. Exit PCONSOLE. MAP Configuration The Management Access Program (MAP) is a Windows program with a browser interface allowing configuration and management of the Network interface Cards on IPX networks. 1. Install and Run MAP Insert the MAP Disk included. In Windows95 or NT 4.0, click on Start and select Run. Type :\SETUP.EXE and click OK. Once installed, double click on the MAP icon to start the program. 2. Select the NIC to configure. When MAP starts, a list of all available units will be displayed by unit serial number. The unit listing will be divided by IP units (listed as SN_######) and IPX units (listed as OTS_######). Click on the NIC to be configured. 3. Password Protection. Many of the configuration options in the MAP utility are password protected. The default password is: sysadm The password is case sensitive. To change the password, select Change Password in the System column. 4 4. 5. NetWare Configuration Select Setup NetWare in the Protocols column. Enter the Print Server Name, Preferred NDS Context, and Print Server Password (if a password was defined) exactly as they were entered in PCONSOLE. Note: Entries in MAP are not case sensitive (except the sysadm password). Preferred File Server and Preferred NDS Tree should normally remain blank unless Bindery mode is used or if the network includes multiple NDS trees. If not using Bindery emulation, click the Disable Bindery box. Type the sysadm password in the appropriate box and click Accept Settings. After a few seconds the screen should report that the update was successful. Click the Back arrow icon twice to return to the NIC Configuration page. Optional: Click on Configure Status Page in the Printer column to define power-up status page settings, e.g. disabling the power-up status page. The changes made to the NIC do not take effect until the unit is reset. Click on Reset in the System column and click on the Reset Unit button. After a few seconds the screen should report that the unit was reset. Confirm Successful Configuration. After the Reset, the program advises waiting 2 minutes before reconnecting, but the NIC may be available sooner. From the Options menu, select Update Server List and click the Down Arrow to display the list of Servers. Repeat is necessary until the NIC reappears and select it from the list. At the NIC configuration page, select Unit Status in the System column. Scroll down to display the NetWare Status. The Queue Status should be Attached. If the Queue Status is not Attached, please verify that the entries for Print Server Name, Preferred NDS Context, and Print Server Password match those defined in PCONSOLE or refer to the troubleshooting section in the NIC User's Manual. 5 Windows 95 Peer to Peer Printing Configuration What is Windows 95 Peer to Peer Printing? The peer to peer printing software that is included with the NIC allows Windows 95 PCs to communicate directly with network attached printers. A network server, such as NetWare or Windows NT, is not required to peer to peer printing. The peer to peer printing software must be installed on each PC that will use peer to peer printing. Once peer to peer printing software is installed, all NICs on ...
