Setting up an NDS connection
In NDS, all NetWare entities (objects) are organized in a hierarchical
tree structure. Objects have a name, properties, and a context that
defines the location of the object in the directory tree. For the
DocuColor 2006, you must define a printer, a print server object, and
one or more print queue objects. Objects are created in NetWare
administrator programs, such as PConsole, NetAdmin, or NetWare
Administrator.
The top-level object is known as the [Root] object. The name of the
[Root] object is also the name of the tree. Below the [Root] are other
objects:
containers
that consist of other objects or
leaf
objects that do
not contain other objects. Access to objects is controlled by rights that
are defined as properties of each object. Rights are established by
system administrators.
Setting the NetWare 4.x or 5.x bindery context
You can connect only one directory tree to the DocuColor 2006. If you
need to connect additional NetWare 4.x or 5.x servers, you can do so
by using bindery emulation, which causes the 4.x or 5.x server to
behave like and be accepted as a NetWare 3.x server.
Keypoint:
The selected file server must be in a different tree from that
selected in NDS Setup.
Up to eight bindery servers, in native 3.x or 4.x or 5.x emulation mode
can connect to the DocuColor 2006.
In order to set up the NetWare 4.x or 5.x server in bindery emulation
mode for printing to the DocuColor 2006, the system administrator
must:
•
Determine the Directory Services path to the container in which
the print server and the print queue for the DocuColor 2006 will
be created. The container defines the
bindery context
for the
network structure.
•
Edit the network startup file to set the bindery context.
•
Activate the new bindery context.
