Manual NetWare 5.x and 4.x in
Windows With IPX
Print Server Mode
The instructions below explain how to establish communication between the
PrintServer unit and the rest of your NetWare 4.x network in a mostly
Windows environment.
1. First, install and run the Bi-Admin program on the PrintServer’s CD. The
use of the Bi-Admin program is covered on page 37. Follow those steps
now to install and run Bi-Admin if you haven’t already.
2. When the Bi-Admin program appears, it will automatically scan the net-
work for available Linksys PrintServer hardware. Any hardware found on
the network will appear in the Default Name, Device Name, Printer Port
chart. Bi-Admin will ask for the password given to the device. Enter the
password and click OK. If no password is assigned, just click OK.
3. Highlight the Device Name of the PrintServer to be configured by click-
ing once on it. You may be asked to enter the password again.
4. Click
on
Configuration, then NetWare. The NetWare Configuration
window will appear.
5. Click on the round Print Server option button to select it, then click on
PrintServer Configuration. The PrintServer Configuration window
will appear. Give the Linksys PrintServer a unique name in the Print
Server Name field. Remember the name you use; you’ll need it later on.
(Example: MARKETING, etc.)
6. Next to the NDS Tree Name field, click on the drop-down arrow and
pick the tree that will handle the PrintServer. If the list is blank, enter the
name manually.
7. In
the
NDS Context field, choose the context where the PrintServer will
be installed. If you don’t see a context, consult your NetWare user guide
to establish one. Click on Browse and navigate to the content you want
the PrintServer configured to.
