Installation and Reference for the Model PS104/PS105/PS110/PS113 Print Server Using Your Print Server in a NetWare 4.x Network In NetWare 3.x, all user-related information is stored in a database called the Bindery. NetWare server administration programs such as SYSCON and PCONSOLE modify information in the Bindery to manage the operation of the file server. The main disadvantage of the Bindery database is that it is limited to a single file server. Networks with a large number of servers can become difficult to manage, because each server has to be configured separately. In a large enterprise with a large number of servers, it could become extremely difficult to coordinate the administration of file servers across the entire enterprise. Novell introduced NetWare Directory Services (NDS), which allows administration on a more global basis, in NetWare 4.x. NDS organizes objects by administrative domain, not by file server. The advantage of NDS is that the user logs on to a tree rather than a particular file server. However, to retain backward compatibility, NetWare 4.x still provides Bindery emulation to ease the transition into NDS. To be able to configure the NetWare 4.x or IntraNetWare file server in NDS mode, the client station conducting the configuration must have Novell Client32 installed. There are different versions of Client32 software for Ms-DOS, Windows 3.1, and Windows 95. With Windows NT, the IntraNetWare software for Windows NT is necessary. Without Client32 or IntraNetWare, the file server can only be configured in Bindery mode. Setting PSERVER Mode in a NetWare 4.x NDS Mode Network As described at the beginning of the chapter, you should determine a unique name and permanent name for the print server prior to starting any configuration process. Also make sure that you have a unique name for each of the NETGEAR print servers on the network. Log in to your NDS network as ADMIN or as a user with Administrator access privileges. Make a note of the NDS tree and NDS context name that appear on the screen. This information will be used later to configure the NETGEAR print server. Novell NetWare Printing 5-11

Using Your Print Server in a NetWare 4.x Network
In NetWare 3.x, all user-related information is stored in a database called the Bindery. NetWare
server administration programs such as SYSCON and PCONSOLE modify information in the
Bindery to manage the operation of the
fi
le server. The main disadvantage of the Bindery database
is that it is limited to a single
fi
le server. Networks with a large number of servers can become
dif
fi
cult to manage, because each server has to be con
fi
gured separately. In a large enterprise with
a large number of servers, it could become extremely dif
fi
cult to coordinate the administration of
fi
le servers across the entire enterprise.
Novell introduced NetWare Directory Services (NDS), which allows administration on a more
global basis, in NetWare 4.x. NDS organizes objects by administrative domain, not by
fi
le server.
The advantage of NDS is that the user logs on to a tree rather than a particular
fi
le server. However,
to retain backward compatibility, NetWare 4.x still provides Bindery emulation to ease the
transition into NDS.
To be able to con
fi
gure the NetWare 4.x or IntraNetWare
fi
le server in NDS mode, the client
station conducting the con
fi
guration must have Novell Client32 installed. There are different
versions of Client32 software for Ms-DOS, Windows 3.1, and Windows 95. With Windows NT,
the IntraNetWare software for Windows NT is necessary. Without Client32 or IntraNetWare, the
fi
le server can only be con
fi
gured in Bindery mode.
Setting PSERVER Mode in a NetWare 4.x NDS Mode Network
As described at the beginning of the chapter, you should determine a unique name and permanent
name for the print server prior to starting any con
fi
guration process. Also make sure that you have
a unique name for each of the NETGEAR print servers on the network.
Log in to your NDS network as ADMIN or as a user with Administrator access privileges. Make a
note of the NDS tree and NDS context name that appear on the screen. This information will be
used later to con
fi
gure the NETGEAR print server.
