Setting up Network Servers
E-820 on a NetWare 4.x or 5.x network
The NetWise
™
features built into the E-820 support the following network operating
environments:
• NetWare 4.x or 5.x—NDS (Novell Directory Services)
• Servers running NetWare 4.x or 5.x in bindery emulation mode
For Ethernet-based networks, the IPX/SPX protocol is supported. For Token Ring-
based NetWare networks, both IPX/SPX and TCP/IP are supported.
Setting up a NetWare environment correctly requires the presence and active
cooperation of the Novell network administrator. You must have administrator
privileges on the network to create new NDS or bindery objects.

The term “bindery server” is used to refer to a Novell file server running
NetWare 4.x or 5.x in emulation mode. The term “NDS” is used to describe
components of a NetWare operating system running NetWare 4.x or 5.x in native
mode.
NetWare clients print to the E-820 through the Novell network server. Server setup
and client network setup are outlined in this chapter, client printing setup is described
in the
User Software Installation Guide
, and printing is described in the
The E-820 can receive print jobs from NetWare clients over Ethernet or Token Ring
network topologies. (For information on the Token Ring option, see Appendix A.)
During E-820 Setup, you select the frame type or types that will be used for
communication between the E-820 and network servers. Frame type refers to the
format of a communications packet; frame types are specified in a startup file when the
NetWare server (or any other workstation) loads its network drivers.
