NetportExpress(TM) XL/EL Print Server: Print Server Setup, NetWare 4.0
NETPORTEXPRESS(TM) XL/EL PRINT SERVERS: SETUP INSTRUCTIONS FOR NETWARE* 4 INBINDERY EMULATION
Overview
Testing of the NetportExpress(TM) XL and EL print servers with NetWare*
4 in bindery emulation mode has shown the products to work successfully.
NetWare Directory Services mode is supported with the most current
release of software. Electronic document 6041 contains more information
regarding current releases.
The following requirements must be met to ensure proper bindery mode
configuration of a NetportExpress print server on NetWare 4:
* You must have bindery emulation enabled via a SET command in the
AUTOEXEC.NCF file on the NetWare 4 file server. For more
information on bindery emulation, consult your NetWare
documentation.
* You must be logged into the NetWare 4 file server as Admin in the
bindery context.
* You must have an NDS connection to the NetWare 4 file server. To
determine if you have an NDS connection, type WHOAMI. In NDS mode
the current tree and complete name will be displayed. If you have
a bindery connection, the server name and connection number will be
displayed.
* You must have VLM 1.10 or later loaded on the workstation from
which you will run NPADMIN or Netport Manager to configure the
NetPortExpress.
* Ensure that the NetportExpress print server has the latest version
of the firmware and application code. Ensure that the most recent
version Netport(R) Manager is being used to configure the
NetportExpress server. To determine the current software versions,
order document 6041 available through Intel's online services.
* The NetportExpress can only service file servers and queues in the
bindery context specified with the SET command.
Novell Print Server Mode
To configure the NetportExpress XL or EL print server as a Novell Print
Server:
1. Determine the bindery context by typing SET BINDERY CONTEXT at the
system console prompt. You may also use the SERVMAN console
utility or the console SET command. Note this context as it will
be used in Step 9.
2. Run NPADMIN from DOS or Netport Manager from Windows. The
instructions below assume you are running Netport Manager. For
more complete instructions refer to "The Complete Guide to
Installation."
3. Highlight the appropriate Netport server and select Configure.
4. Select Netport Hardware and specify a Remote Boot Load Server and
an alias name, if desired.
5. Return to the Configure Menu and select Protocols.
6. Highlight Novell Print Server and select Configure.
7. Select the correct File Server to serve as the primary file server.
8. Select the correct Queue(s) if they have already been created or
select Queue and New to create a new Queue. Choose OK to close the
window and save the configuration.
9. Run PCONSOLE and remain in Directory Services Mode. Make sure
that the current context displayed at the top of the screen is the
same as the bindery context in Step 1. If it is not the same,
choose "Change Context" and specify the correct bindery context.
10.Select Print Queues and delete the queue(s) that you created or
assigned in step 8. Recreate the queue by pressing <Insert> and
assign a print queue volume.
11.Highlight the queue name and select Print Servers from the Print
Queue Information menu.
12.Press <Insert> at the Print Servers box. Highlight and press <F5>
on each entry that matches the name or ID of the NetPort print
server. Once marked, press <Enter>.
Note: If the print server name does not appear in this box, the
print server has been created as a bindery object as opposed to a
directory services object. To resolve this problem, change to
bindery mode in PCONSOLE and delete the related print server
bindery objects. Then return to directory services mode and
recreate it as a directory services object.
13.Return to Netport Manager. Reset the Netport print server by
highlighting the appropriate NetPort and selecting Utilities and
Reset.
14.You are now ready to print
Novell Remote Printer Mode
Note: You can only configure one port as a remove printer under
NetWare 4.
To configure the NetportExpress XL or EL print server as a Novell Remote
Printer:
1. Determine the bindery context by typing SET BINDERY CONTEXT at the
system console prompt. You may also use the SERVMAN console
utility or the console SET command. Note this context as it will
be used in Step 3.
2. At a DOS workstation, log into the NetWare server as ADMIN and run
PCONSOLE. Remain in Directory Services mode.
3. Make sure that the current context displayed at the top of the
screen is the same as the bindery context in Step 1. If it is not
the same, choose "Change Context" and specify the correct bindery
context.
4. Choose "Quick Setup." The Print Services Quick Setup screen
appears. Change the print server, new printer, and new print queue
names as desired. Note all three names for later use. The print
server will be the name of the print server that will be loaded at
the file server. The new printer will correspond to the alias name
of the NetportExpress print server.
Follow the information and key lines at the bottom of the screen.
Press <F1> for context-sensitive information. For more information
on using Quick Setup, see "Quick Path for Setting Up Printing" in
Chapter 3 of the Print Services manual.
The print objects can also be created individually. For more
information, see "Setting up NetWare Print Services" in Chapter 3
of the Print Services manual.
5. Choose a volume on the same NetWare server. To browse for a
volume, highlight the "Print queue volume" field and press <Enter>;
then press <Insert>. Choose a volume with sufficient disk space to
temporarily store users' print jobs.
6. Configure the printer as Parallel and Manual Load.
7. Press <F10> to save changes. PCONSOLE saves the configuration and
automatically assigns the printer to the print queue and the print
server to the printer.
8. Press <Esc> to exit PCONSOLE.
9. Run NPADMIN from DOS or NetPort Manager from Windows. The
instructions below assume you are running NetPort Manager.
10.Highlight the appropriate Netport print server and select
Configure.
11.Select Netport Hardware and specify a Remote Boot Load Server. In
the alias field, enter the printer name created in Step 4.
12.Return to the Configure Menu and select Protocols.
13.Highlight Novell Remote Printer and select Configure.
14. Select the correct File Server.
15.Select the Print Server and Queue created in Step 4. Choose OK to
close the window and save the configuration.
16.To start Novell PSERVER, type the following command at the file
server system console prompt.
load pserver server_name
where server_name is the name of the print server created in Step
4.
Note: NWADMIN can be used in place of PCONSOLE to create the
printer objects. All objects must be fully defined before
configuring the NetPortExpress using NPADMIN or NetPort Manager.
Note: NetWare 4.0x no longer supports PSERVER.EXE. If you are
using PSERVER.EXE from a 3.1x server and servicing queues on a
NetWare 4.0x server, you will need to create the printer object in
bindery mode through PCONSOLE.
