Preferred File Server (NDS & Bindery)
In a bindery setup, the preferred file server specifies the file server that the
print server object was created on. In an NDS setup, it specifies a file server
that the print server object resides on. Since NDS is distributed, most
administrators will not know which file server(s) the print server object is
actually stored on, so in most NDS environments this option is not used. This
feature is useful in a large Novell network so that the LineJet Print Server
does not ignore important file servers. If you are setting up the LineJet Print
Server to work with a Bindery file server, it is a good idea to set a preferred
server on the LineJet Print Server.
To view those file servers that the LineJet Print Server does acknowledge at a
given time, use the
debug nest fserver
command. See Chapter 12,
“Commands” for more information.
Adding Preferred File Server
HTML Method
1. Load a Web browser on a network station that can communicate with the
print server over TCP/IP.
2. Direct your Web browser to URL:
http://
LineJetIPaddress
/networkConf.html
(e.g., http://192.75.11.9/networkConf.html)
3. Look under the “Novell” section and add the name of the preferred file
server in the “File Server” field.
4. Click on the SUBMIT button when done and physically re-power the print
server to make the new settings take effect.
Manual (Telnet) Method
1. Telnet to the print server. This will bring up a login screen:
telnet
ipaddress
2. You should now see a prompt displayed that has the LineJet Print
Server’s IP address followed by a colon then
root
.
ipaddress
:root>
Note
If prompted for a User ID and password first, type in
root
for the ID and
press ENTER at the password prompt since there is no password by
default.
