3 In the CrownNet Port list, select the CrownNet port you want
to install.
The ports appear as an alphanumeric list of printers attached to
the network. The names of these printers are defined in the
Administration/Communications/
xxxxxxxx NIC/CrownNet/Lan
Manager/Printer Name menu (where
xxxxxxxx is either Resident
or Optional) and are listed on the CrownNet configuration page
(Administration/Communications/
xxxxxxxx NIC/CrownNet/
Common/Config Page menu (where
xxxxxxxx is either Resident
or Optional)). The factory default name for each printer is
QMS_080086
xxxxxx , where xxxxxx is a unique number assigned
by QMS. (Refer to the “Configuring the OS/2 LAN Manager/LAN
Server or Microsoft Windows Network Protocol” section of
chapter 2, “Printer Configuration,” of the
QMS CrownNet System
Administrator’s Guide
for instructions on changing the printer
name so you can identify the printers on the network more
easily.)
If the printer you want is not in the port list, make sure it’s
attached to the network and on line, and that the CrownNet LAN
Manager/LAN Server protocol is enabled (Administration/
Communications/
xxxxxxxx NIC/CrownNet/Lan Manager/Protocol
menu (where
xxxxxxxx is either Resident or Optional)).
You may need to refresh by list by choosing the Cancel button
and then from the Port menu choosing Add again.
4 Accept or change the suggested Windows port name, and
type any comments in the Description field. Make a note of
the Windows port name (you'll need it later), and then
choose OK to install the Windows port.
The Windows port name must adhere to standard DOS file
naming conventions. However, use of the file extension is
optional. Be sure to make this name as descriptive as possible.
You may want to include the type of printer and its location or
owner as part of the name (for example, mktg1660 or
dan_4525.mkt).
If you get a Bad port name error after you choose OK, make
sure that you are using standard DOS file naming conventions.
