Chapter 3:
Setting up
Network Servers
This chapter describes environments that typically include one or more network
servers—Novell NetWare servers and Windows NT servers—that will share printing to
the DocuColor Color Server. It describes setting up servers that use IPX/SPX or
TCP/IP protocols for communicating with the DocuColor. In addition, it includes
some guidelines for setting up direct communication from Windows NT workstations
and UNIX workstations, where a network server is optional. The chapter also outlines
the requirements for network clients to print to the DocuColor and to run the remote
utilities and the WebTools.
If your network is based on Windows NT, skip to page 3-18. If your network includes
UNIX workstations, skip to page 3-29.
Setting up a NetWare environment correctly requires the presence and active

cooperation of the Novell network administrator. You must have administrator privi-
leges on the network to create new NDS or bindery objects.
DocuColor on an IPX network
The NEST (Novell Embedded Systems Technology) software built into the
DocuColor supports the following network operating environments:
• NetWare 4.x—NDS
• NetWare 3.12—Bindery services
• Servers running NetWare 4.x in bindery emulation mode
The term "bindery server" is used to refer to a Novell file server running NetWare
3.12, or running NetWare 4.x in emulation mode. The term "NDS" is used to describe
components of a NetWare operating system running NetWare 4.x in native mode.
"NDS" is used interchangeably as an abbreviation for either Novell Directory

Services or NetWare Directory Services. There is no difference between the two.
NetWare clients print to the DocuColor through the Novell network server. Server
setup and client network setup are outlined here. Client printing setup is described in
the Getting Started, and printing is described in the User Guide.
