Instructions for Using NetWare

Printing a text file

When you print a text file using the NPRINT command of NetWare or DOS, redirection, misconversion or a gap in characters may occur depending on the client environment.

IPX routing protocol "NLSP"

It is possible to set the IPX routing protocol "NLSP" from NetWare 4.x or later; however, the network interface does not support NLSP. RIP/SAP controls the communication.

You can select the routing protocol from a) NLSP with RIP/SAP Compatibility, or b) RIP/SAP Only. If you remove the bind of RIP or SAP when NLSP with RIP/SAP Compatibility is specified, the network interface then cannot communicate with the file server and NDS. (See "Protocols" and "Bindings" in NetWare's INETCFG utility.)

Bindery and NDS

See your NetWare documentation for more information.

Time required to recognize the network interface

It takes up to two minutes for the NetWare server to recognize the network interface, after the device is turned on. During this start-up time, the status sheet does not show the correct information.

Frame type

The same frame type should be used for the NetWare server and IPX router on the same network. If more than one frame type is used on the same network, bind all the frame types to the NetWare servers and IPX routers.

For NetWare 5.x

The IPX protocol must be installed (bound) on the NetWare 5.x server.

About modes

If the mode you have logged in is different from the mode you set for the network interface, a message appears when you try to configure the network interface for NetWare. If you do not want to change the current settings, click Cancel and log in again using the same mode set for the network interface.
