3.5 UCONNECT Commands
Once the UCONNECT utility has been copied to the hard drive,

4.0 NOVELL OPERATION
This section tells how to use the Print Server with a Novell network.
Functions described include locating the Print Server on the network,
configuration, testing, printing, and FLASH EPROM upgrading. For
instructions on use of the Print Server within a TCP/IP network that is
not Novell based, please refer to Section 5.0.
4.1 Locating the Print Server on the Network
The Print Server has a unique NIC Address that has been provided
by Patton Electronics with the approval of the ISO council (this NIC
Address has been marked on a label on the underside of the unit).
Before the Print Server can be configured, operated, tested or
upgraded, it must be located and recognized by the network. Using
the UCONNECT utility, follow these steps to locate the print server:
1) Having completed the instructions in Section 3.0, you should see the
Main Menu screen.
2) Select “Configuration” and press [ENTER]. This will take you to the
Specify Print Server Address screen (following page).

Note:
the appearance of many of the screens will vary based
upon the configuration of your particular network. The
network component names show are examples only.
