Setting The NIC Context (NDS)

The NIC allows you to store the print server object in any context within the
NDS tree you choose. By default, the NIC will look for the print server object in
the same context as the file server object it connects to is stored in.

HTML Method

1.

Load a Web browser on a network station that can communicate with the
print server over TCP/IP.

2.

Direct your Web browser to URL:

http://P5000LJIPaddress/networkConf.html

(e.g.,

http://192.75.11.9/networkConf.html

)

3.

Look under the “Novell” section and enter the new context in the “NDS
Context” field.

4.

Click on the SUBMIT button when done and physically re-power the
printer to make the new settings take effect.

Manual (Telnet) Method

1.

Telnet to the print server. This will bring up a login screen:

telnet ipaddress

2.

You should now see a prompt displayed that has the NIC’s IP address
followed by a colon then

root

.

ipaddress:root>

3.

At the prompt, enter:

store pserver novell context context

4.

Reset the unit to make the changes take effect.
