This Guide's Role This Quick Configuration Guide provides concise software configuration instructions allowing an experienced system administrator to get the NIC up and running quickly. For more complete instructions or for printing or configuration options not covered in this guide, please refer to the User Manual.

[. . . ] Preferred File Server and Preferred NDS Tree should normally remain blank unless Bindery mode is used or if the network includes multiple NDS trees. If not using Bindery emulation, click the Disable Bindery box. Type the sysadm password in the appropriate box and click Accept Settings. After a few seconds the screen should report that the update was successful. Click the Back arrow icon twice to return to the NIC Configuration page. Optional: Click on Configure Status Page in the Printer column to define power-up status page settings, e. g. The changes made to the NIC do not take effect until the unit is reset. Click on Reset in the System column and click on the Reset Unit button. After a few seconds the screen should report that the unit was reset. After the Reset, the program advises waiting 2 minutes before reconnecting, but the NIC may be available sooner. From the Options menu, select Update Server List and click the Down Arrow to display the list of Servers. Repeat is necessary until the NIC reappears and select it from the list. At the NIC configuration page, select Unit Status in the System column. Scroll down to display the NetWare Status. If the Queue Status is not Attached, please verify that the entries for Print Server Name, Preferred NDS Context, and Print Server Password match those defined in PCONSOLE or refer to the troubleshooting section in the NIC User's Manual. 5 Windows 95 Peer to Peer Printing Configuration What is Windows 95 Peer to Peer Printing? The peer to peer printing software that is included with the NIC allows Windows 95 PCs to communicate directly with network attached printers. A network server, such as NetWare or Windows NT, is not required to peer to peer printing. Click on the Windows 95 Start button and select Settings, Control Panel, Network. Check to see if IPX/SPX-compatible protocol is displayed on the list of network components. If it is on the list, IPX is already installed. Double click on Protocol, click on Microsoft, and double click on IPX/SPXcompatible Protocol. Windows 95 will prompt for the required Windows disks to install the IPX protocol. Once the files are copied, click on OK to close the network control panel. [. . . ] Press the Status key on the front panel of the printer with the NIC, or if the printer is off, turn it on and wait for the power-up network status page to print. Add an entry to the hosts file (usually etc/hosts) that includes the printer's name and the IP address. For example, to name the printer and associate it with an IP address of 197. 42. 211. 5, place the following entry in the hosts file: 197. 42. 211. 5 <PrinterName> At the UNIX command prompt, type: arp -s <desired_IP_address> <NIC_Ethernet_address> (The Ethernet address is listed on the network status page as Network Address. ) For example, arp -s 197. 42. 211. 5 00-40-AF-13-A2-70 At the UNIX command prompt, type: ping <desired_IP_address> For example, ping 197. 42. 211. 5 The NIC will not respond to this ping command, but will read the IP address. 3. 4. 11 5. After a few minutes (usually between 1 and 2 minutes, but possibly up to 5 minutes on very large or busy networks), the NIC will reset and print its network status page. The new IP address will be listed in the TCP/IP Network Information section. [. . . ]
