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 which defines the
location of the object in the directory tree. For the DocuColor 4 LP/CP you
are mainly concerned with defining a printer, a print server object and one or
more print queue objects. Objects are created in NetWare administrator pro-
grams (PCONSOLE or NETADMIN which are text-based, or NetWare Ad-
ministrator, which has a graphical user interface and context-sensitive help).
The top-level tree 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:
either containers (which consist of other objects) or leaf objects (which do
not contain other objects). Access to objects is controlled by rights that are
4
defined as properties of each object. Rights are established by network ad-
ministrators.
The procedures that follow work with all versions of NetWare 4.x. With NetWare
4.11 or later, you can combine the procedures using the Print Services Quick
Setup dialog box.
The following procedures describe creating container objects in a Novell
structure using the NetWare Administrator utility on Windows 95 or Win-
dows NT. This utility, NWADMIN95.exe, is generally located on the
\PUBLIC\WIN95\ directory of the SYS volume. To define new objects, launch
the utility and log in to the Novell directory tree as the Administrator.
The next three sections describe the procedures for defining a print queue
(or queues), printer, and print server object.
