NetWare 4.x Directory Services Configuration 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 1000E for users more familiar with the NetWare Bindery than with NDS. If Bindery emulation is preferred, please refer to the NetWare section of the 1000E Instruction Handbook. PCONSOLE vs. NWADMIN Setup NetWare 4.x setup can be done with either PCONSOLE or NWADMIN.
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.
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. 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.
NetWare 2.x & 3.x Configuration 1. Login as Supervisor and start PCONSOLE. 2. Define the Print Queue. ➪ If a Print Queue already exists which will be assigned to the 1000E, 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 1000E and press ENTER. Press ESCAPE to return to the Available Options menu. 3. Define the Print Server. ➪ Select Print Server Information from the Available Options menu.
6. Confirm Successful Configuration. ➪ Turn the printer off and on and wait for a powerup network status page to print. If the network is large, the powerup status page may take several minutes to print. (Note: This time may be reduced by setting a Preferred File Server for the 1000E with the Management Access Program. Refer to the NetWare section of the 1000E Instruction Handbook for more information.
Windows 95 Peer to Peer Printing Configuration What is Windows 95 Peer to Peer Printing The peer to peer printing software which is included with the EcoLAN 1000E allows Windows 95 PCs to communicate directly with network attached printers. A network server, such as NetWare or Windows NT, is not required for peer to peer printing. The peer to peer printing software must be installed on each PC that will use peer to peer printing.
IPX Protocol Installation The IPX protocol is required for peer to peer printing. IPX is not installed by default when Windows 95 is first installed, but it can be easily added using the following procedure. 1. Click on the Windows 95 Start button and select Settings, Control Panel, Network. 2. Check to see if IPX/SPX-compatible Protocol is displayed on the list of network components. If it is on the list, IPX is already installed. Please continue with the next section.
Windows NT Configuration There are several options for setting up printing in a Windows NT environment. ◆ If a NetWare server is present, NetWare print services may be used by following the NetWare configuration instructions in this guide. ◆ Peer to peer print services may be used by following the Windows 95 instructions in this guide, but are only available for Windows NT 4.x, not for Windows NT 3.51. Peer to peer print services use the IPX protocol and may be preferable when TCP/IP setup is not desired.
Windows NT 4.0 1. Click on the Windows Start button, select Settings, and Control Panel. 2. 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. 3. Select the Services tab. If either Microsoft TCP/IP Printing or Simple TCP/IP Services is not in the list of Network Services, click on Add to install them. 4. Click on Close when all protocols and services have been added.
Setting Up LPR Printing If the printer driver has not already been installed, please install it from the CD which is shipped with the printer before continuing. In the following instructions, some field or dialog names may be vary depending upon the NT release pack in use. Windows NT 3.51 1. In the Program Manager group Main, open the Control Panel and double click on Printers. 2. Highlight the appropriate printer and select Properties from the Printer menu. 3.
Macintosh Configuration For Macintosh compatibility, Mita printers must be equipped with the KPDL II PostScript option. Installing the Driver and Selecting the Printer 1. To install the Macintosh Printer Driver and Utilities from the CD which is provided with the printer, open the Drivers folder, then the USA/English folder, and double click on the DP-2800 USA Installer. 2. Once installation is complete and your system has been restarted, select Chooser from the Apple menu to open the Chooser. 3.
UNIX Configuration UNIX printing utilizes a line printer daemon (lpd) to direct print jobs to the printer. The 1000E supports two modes of lpd printing, host-based lpd and printer-based lpd. With host-based lpd, the line printer daemon is run on one or more workstations (hosts) where print jobs are accepted and sent to the 1000E. With printer-based lpd, the 1000E acts as the line printer daemon host and accepts print jobs directly.
arp -s <1000E_ethernet_address> The 1000E ethernet address is listed on the network status page as Network Address. For example, arp -s 197.42.211.5 00:40:AF:13:A2:70 4. At the UNIX command prompt, type: ping For example, ping 197.42.211.5 The 1000E will not respond to this ping command, but will read the IP address. 5.
