    NPADMIN - MANUAL CONFIGURATION - REMOTE PRINTER

    
         1. Login as Supervisor and run NPADMIN.
    
    
    
         2. Select "Configure" and then "Manual".
    
    
    
         3. Read the general setup information and press Enter.
    
    
    
         4. From the list of NetPorts(R) currently connected to the network,
    
            select the NetPort to be configured.
    
    
    
            If the NetPort is not listed, escape out of this menu and select
    
            "Port Status", Set Viewer Criteria" and check the server name.  A
    
            blank here indicates that all netports will be listed.  If this is
    
            blank, then check the troubleshooting guidelines in the manual for
    
            the section "NetPort does not appear on the network".
    
    
    
         5. (Optional) Assign an alias name to the netport.
    
    
    
         6. From the Port 1 Modes window, select "Port 1 as Remote Printer" and
    
            press enter.  If this port is not used or it will be used as a
    
            virtual circuit, select "Port 1 as Available".
    
    
    
         7. From the Attached servers window, select the server to which the 
    
            NetPort will attach.  If a different server is desired, press
    
            insert and then highlight the desired server.
    
    
    
         8. From the Available Print Servers window, select the print server to
    
            use.
    
    
    
         8. In the Assigned queues window, select a queue from the list or
    
            create a new queue by pressing insert and adding a new queue. 
    
            Queues can be deleted with the delete key.
    
    
    
         9. In the Port 2 Modes window, select "Port 2 as Remote Printer" and
    
            press enter. (Select "Port 2 as available" if this port is not used
    
            or will be used as a virtual circuit.)
    
    
    
         10.In the Second Port Choices window, select either parallel or serial
    
            depending on which second port will be used.  If the port is
    
            available, this screen still appears but the information is not
    
            used.
    
    
    
         11.If the Second Port is defined as a print server, the Assigned
    
            Queues window will appear again as in step 8.
    
    
    
         12.A configuration screen is displayed next.  This configuration can
    
            accepted or operator-related information can be added (See other
    
            options in the NetPort II configuration menu including Notify, Form
    
            Check, and notification operators).  Press F10 to accept.  If
    
            changes need to be made for the other fields, use the Escape key to
    
            back up through the previous screens and make the desired changes.
    
    
    
         13.If the configuration is accepted, the NetPort is updated and reset.
    
             Updating clears the flash memory and overwrites previous
    
    
    
            configuration information.  Resetting attaches the NetPort to the
    
            file server using the new settings.
    
    
    
            This process can take from one to three minutes.  On wide area
    
            networks this can take even longer.
    
    
    
         14.Next the print server will need to be stopped.
    
    
    
            If Pserver.nlm is used (with NetWare 3.x), run Unload pserver
    
            printserver_name and then load pserver printserver_name, from the
    
            file server keyboard. (Printserver_name is the name assigned to the
    
            printserver)
    
    
    
            If Pserver.vap is being used (with NetWare 2.x), type pserver stop
    
            and then pserver start from the file server keyboard.
    
    
    
            If Pserver.exe is being used, down the printserver from PCONSOLE at
    
            any workstation except the dedicated one running the pserver.exe. 
    
            Reload the pserver.exe at the dedicated workstation by typing
    
            Pserver printserver_name.
    
    
    
         15.The results of this process can be viewed in the "Port Status",
    
            "Check all ports" option.  The 2 ports will be listed as Remote
    
            Printers.  Also "Port Status", "View NetPort Settings" can be used
    
            to select the NetPort and view all information including the queues
    
            selected (press the space bar to see the list).
