it on each file server using the Change Password option on the Print Server Information
menu of the PCONSOLE utility.
When the Network Interface Board comes up, it automatically searches for and attaches
to the file servers that are no more than four hops and have no more than eight ticks
propagation delay. For extremely large or complex networks, this allows a bounded
search time on start-up. If the print server must attach to file servers beyond this range,
or, if you wish to accelerate start-up by eliminating the need to search all file servers in
the four hops/eight ticks radius, the file servers with which the print server is to operate
may be entered into the Print Server Configuration of a primary file server. The primary
file server can be any file server within the four hops/eight ticks propagation time limits,
but ideally is as close as possible to the print server. Once the print server locates the
primary file server and the list of file servers to be serviced, the automatic search is
dropped and the print server will go directly to those file servers listed (and to no others).
4.1.8 Primary File Server
To use the primary file server option, use the following procedure on a file server close to
the printer:
1.
List the file servers to be serviced by the primary file server by selecting File Server
To Be Serviced option from the Print Server Configuration Menu.
2.
Press the INSERT key to display the Available File Servers list.
3.
Select the name of each file server to be serviced and press the ENTER key to add it
to the File Servers To Be Serviced list.
4.
When the list is complete, press the ESC key to return to the menu.
5.
Install the Network Interface Board on each of the primary file servers.
4.1.9 Preferred File Servers
The MAP or Web Browser utilities allow you to identify a preferred file server, to be
identified within the Network Interface Board itself. If a preferred file server is listed, the
Network Interface Board will attach to this identified file server instead of initiating the
automatic search. If the preferred file server is also a primary file server (for example,
has file servers listed under file servers to be serviced), the Network Interface Board will
connect directly to these file servers.
Note: The Preferred File Server is only applicable to bindery-based queues.
Entering it has no affect on NDS queues.
4.2 Configuring NetWare 4.x Bindery Emulation
Novell's NetWare 4.x can operate in two modes NetWare Directory Services (NDS) and
Bindery Services Emulation. For Directory Services,
ð refer to 4.3 Configuring the
Network Interface Board in NetWare Directory Services.
These services run simultaneously and transparently to each other. The Network
Interface Board may be configured to operate with Bindery Services mode only (this
section), or to operate under NDS (
