Ipx/Spx Frame Types; Set Up Procedure - Xerox DocuPrint 240A User Manual

IPX/SPX Frame Types

The printer supports the following types of Ethernet interface:
• 10Base-T (Twisted Pair Cable)
• 100Base-TX (Twisted Pair Cable)
The following frame types are supported:
• Ethernet II specification
• IEEE802.3 specification
• IEEE802.3/802.2 specification
• IEEE802.3/802.2/SNAP specification
The printer will send out packets of each frame type on the connected network and activate
automatically to the frame type which responds first.
However, if other protocols are running simultaneously on the same network, use the frame
type that the NetWare server is using.
Note
• Some network components (such as the hub) may not support automatic setup for frame type. If the
data link indicator light of the port which is connected to the printer of the network component does not
light up, match the setting ([IPX/SPX Frame Type]) of the printer to the frame type of the file server.

Set Up Procedure

The setting flow is as follows:
1. Setting up the printer
By using the printer control panel or CentreWare Internet Services, set the NetWare
port to [Enable] (default: [Disable]).
Print the [System Settings List] and check the device name and network address that
listed in the Netware.
Refer to
• Setup and Quick Reference Guide
2. Settings for the NetWare Environment
Using PCONSOLE or NetWare Administrator (NWADMIN), create print queue, print
server and printer, and assign the respective objects.
By using CentreWare Internet Services, transfer the set NetWare environment to the
printer.
Important
• When setting up for the PCONSOLE or NWADMIN, use the device name checked in step 1 for the print
server name. Set Printer Location as Auto Load (Local).
• For information on how to use PCONSOLE or NWADMIN, refer to the manual which comes with
NetWare. NWADMIN can be used on NetWare 5 or later.
Note
• CentreWare Internet Services allows more detailed settings. For details, refer to the Online Help for
CentreWare Internet Services.
• By using the NetWare Setup Wizard, you can set the printing environments for the NetWare server or
printer. For details about the NetWare Setup Wizard, refer to "9.2 NetWare Setup Wizard" (P. 56).
3. Setting up the computer
Install the printer driver to the NetWare client computer.
