XNIC Configuration Options
Chapter 3: Using the Printer with Novell NetWare ❖ 3-49
9. Disabling
3.x/BEM or NDS
Discovery
(Recommended
for Large
Networks)
The default is: Both 3.x/BEM and NDS discovery enabled.
When the printer is powered on, the XNIC discovers the
PServer definition intended for the XNIC through the NDS
file servers.
 If the XNIC does not find PServer definitions on NDS file
servers within two routers reach, it stops NDS discovery
and starts the discovery process through the 3.x/BEM file
servers.
 If it finds the PServer definition during the NDS discovery
process, it attaches to it and gathers information about
other Novell file servers that hold PServer definitions for
the XNIC.
If running in NDS mode only, it is recommended to disable
3.x/BEM discovery on the XNIC. Disabling BEM discovery
will expedite the completion of the overall search process by
the XNIC.
Issue this command from TES:
>define server netware pserver 4.x
>init delay 0
If running in 3.x/BEM mode only, it is recommended to
disable NDS discovery on the XNIC.
Issue this command from TES:
>define server netware pserver 3.x
>init delay 0
