5-2 Setting up Network Servers
The term "bindery server" is used to refer to a Novell file server running NetWare 3.x,
or running NetWare 4.x or 5.x in bindery emulation mode. The term "NDS" is used
to describe components of a NetWare operating system running NetWare 4.x or 5.x in
native mode.
NetWare clients print to the RIP Station through the Novell network server. Server
setup and client network setup are outlined here. Client printing setup is described in
the Setup Guide, and printing is described in the User Guide.
Setting up a NetWare environment correctly requires the presence and active

cooperation of the Novell network administrator. You must have administrator
privileges on the network to create new NDS or bindery objects.
The RIP Station can accept jobs concurrently from NetWare, Windows NT 4.0, and
AppleShare servers, as well as jobs sent directly from Windows NT 4.0 or UNIX
workstations. NetWare clients on Mac OS or Windows NT 4.0 computers can print
either via the NetWare server or directly.
The RIP Station can receive print jobs from NetWare clients over Ethernet. During
RIP Station Setup, you select the frame type or types that will be used for
communication between the RIP Station and network servers. Frame type refers to the
format of a communications packet; frame types are specified in a startup file when the
NetWare server (or any other workstation) loads its network drivers.
For the Fiery utilities that have Windows 95/98 support over IPX, the Windows 95/98
workstations are communicating with the RIP Station directly, not through the
NetWare server. For more information on the platforms supporting utilities, see
page 5-1.
