This chapter describes how to configure and use the NETGEAR Model PS104 Print Server, Model PS105 Print Server, Model PS110 Print Server, and Model PS113 Print Server in the Novell NetWare environment. Configuration Overview This section describes the requirements and outlines the PSERVER or RPRINTER mode configuration in either a NetWare Bindery or a NetWare Directory Services (NDS) network...
– Sends the received network packet data to the printer It is a two-step process to set up the Model PS104/PS105/PS110/PS113 print server in the NetWare environment. The NetWare file server must first be configured, and then you can configure your print server.
There are two methods for configuring the print server in a NetWare environment: the FirstGear Administration Program based on Windows, or the PSCONFIG program based on MS-DOS. Both programs are on the Model PS104/PS105/PS110/PS113 Print Server Resource CD that comes with your print server.
Setting PSERVER Mode in NetWare 3.x (Bindery Mode) To set up the NetWare file server to connect to the Model PS104/PS105/PS110/PS113 print server in the NetWare PSERVER mode, first designate a NetWare file server that your print server will log on to retrieve print jobs. Log on to the file server as SUPERVISOR or as a user with SUPERVISOR privileges.
Leave the Type entry field with the default value of Defined elsewhere. Press [Esc]. Select Yes to save the changes. Repeat steps d, e, and f for each printer port on the print server. Press [Esc] to return to the Print Server Configuration menu. Associate printers with print queues.
Page 94
Verify that PS is the Operation Mode. PS must be the operation mode for the print server to operate in PSERVER mode. If the operation mode is RP, the print server operates in RPRINTER mode. It can operate in only one mode at a time.
Setting RPRINTER Mode in NetWare 3.x (Bindery Mode) To set up the NetWare file server to connect to the Model PS104/PS105/PS110/PS113 print server in the NetWare RPRINTER mode, first designate a NetWare file server that your print server will log on to retrieve print jobs. Log on to the file server as SUPERVISOR or as a user with SUPERVISOR privileges.
PSCONFIG program for the RPRINTER setup. The factory default name for the print server is PSxxxxxx as shown on the label on the bottom of the device.
Page 97
Verify that RP is the operation mode. RP must be the operation mode for the print server to operate in RPRINTER mode. If the operation mode is PS, the print server operates in PSERVER mode. It can operate only in one mode at a time.
Page 98
Load the PSERVER.NLM on the NetWare file server. If the NetWare print server to which the NETGEAR print server will be connected has been previously loaded, you must unload and reload it again. If you are unloading and reloading the PSERVER NetWare Loadable Module (NLM), start with step a.
Also make sure that you have a unique name for each of the NETGEAR print servers on the network. Log in to your NDS network as ADMIN or as a user with Administrator access privileges. Make a note of the NDS tree and NDS context name that appear on the screen.
Page 100
To configure the NDS file server to use the Model PS104/PS105/PS110/PS113 print server in PSERVER mode: Execute the PCONSOLE program from the System volume of the file server. The Available Options window opens. Make sure that the following five menu selections are in the window: •...
Page 101
Repeat steps a through e if you are using the Model PS110 Print Server and if you want to configure parallel port 2. Similarly, repeat steps a through e if you are using the Model PS113 Print Server, which has three parallel ports.
Besides the NDS mode, NetWare 4.x also allows file servers to provide Bindery emulation services to devices or computers that are capable of operating only in Bindery mode. In this setup example, the Model PS104/PS105/PS110/PS113 print server is connecting to the NetWare 4.x file server in Bindery emulation mode.
Page 103
5-5. Repeat steps a through e if you are using the Model PS110 Print Server and want to configure parallel port 2. Similarly, repeat steps a through e if you are using the Model PS113 Print Server, which has three parallel ports.
Make sure that you are running Client32 in the NDS mode before configuring the print server as a NetWare NDS Remote Printer. To configure the NDS file server to use the Model PS104/PS105/PS110/PS113 print server in RPRINTER mode: Execute the PCONSOLE program from the System volume of the file server.
Page 105
Type the predetermined print server name in the Print Server field. This name is not the one for the NETGEAR print server. It is the print server you will set up on the NetWare file server. At the end of the installation process, you will load PSERVER.NLM on the file server using this name.
Page 106
Press [Esc] to exit the PSCONFIG program. Load the PSERVER.NLM on the NetWare file server. If the NetWare print server to which the NETGEAR print server will be connected has been previously loaded, you must unload and reload it again. If unloading and reloading the PSERVER NetWare Loadable Module (NLM), start with step a.
NETGEAR print servers on the network. You must use Windows 95 or Windows 98 and be running Client32. To configure the NDS file server to use the Model PS104/PS105/PS110/PS113 print server in PSERVER mode: Execute the NWADMN32 program from the system volume (for example, “F:\public\win32”) on the file server.
Servicing Multiple NetWare Bindery File Servers If your print server is configured as a NetWare Print Server and you want it to service more than one Bindery file server: Log in, with supervisory rights, to each file server you want your print server to service.
Press [Esc] until you exit PCONSOLE. Execute the PSCONFIG program while you are logged in to the file server. Select the NETGEAR print server and configure it to attach to the designated master Bindery file server. This step is not necessary if the print server has previously been configured.
UNIX-style LF (Line Feeds) to DOS-style LF/CR (Line Feed, Carriage Return) pairs. Each Model PS104 and Model PS105 Print Server has one parallel port and supports three logical printers. Each Model PS110 and PS113 Print Server, with two and three parallel ports respectively, supports eight logical printers.
Select the physical port for this logical printer (P1 to P2 for parallel ports). Logical printers are numbered from L1 to L3 for the Model PS 104 and Model PS105 print server and numbered L1 to L8 for the Model PS110 and Model PS113 print server.

Assign a static IP address to your print server by referring to the Print Server Using With all four methods of IP address resolution, the print server loses the IP setting after reset or a power loss. To permanently configure the print server and save the IP address assignment in the flash EEPROM of the print server, you must use FTP.
DHCP, turn on power to the print server; the DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address to it. If you do not have a DHCP server and you are assigning an IP address to the print server, you can use BootP, RARP, or ARP.
NAME NAME is the name of the print server. You should receive a response. If you get a timeout message, the BootP procedure has failed. You can either follow the steps again for using BootP or use one of the other methods for assigning an IP address.
Page 116
NAME is the name of your print server. A sample entry is: 192.10.2.54 PS_Rm203 #Default name PS123456 In the example, a print server with an IP address of 192.10.2.54 is called PS_Rm203 and has a default name of PS123456. Add to the Ethernet Address table /etc/ethers: 00:c0:02:xx:yy:zz NAME Use these definitions for entering the information:...
NAME NAME is the name of the print server. You should receive a response, but if you get a timeout message, the ARP procedure has failed. You can either follow the steps again for using ARP or use one of the other methods for assigning an IP address.
Configuring Your Print Server Using FTP FTP allows a user to log on to a remote host and to manipulate files on the host. The print server can act as an FTP host. Using FTP, you can access and modify the CONFIG file in the print server.

This appendix provides information about understanding IP addresses, which you must assign to the NETGEAR Model PS104/PS105/PS110/PS113 print server when operating in a TCP/IP environment. IP Addresses and the Internet Because TCP/IP networks are interconnected widely across the world, every machine on the Internet must have a unique address to make sure that transmitted data reaches the correct destination.
There are five standard classes of IP addresses. These address classes have different ways of determining the network and host sections of the address, allowing for different numbers of hosts on a network. Each address type begins with a unique bit pattern, which is used by the TCP/IP software to identify the address class.
Class E addresses are for experimental use. This addressing structure allows IP to uniquely identify each physical network and each node on each physical network. For each unique value of the network portion of the address, the base address of the range (host address of all zeros) is known as the network address and is not usually assigned to a host.
Installation and Reference for the Model PS104/PS105/PS110/PS113 Print Server Subnet Addressing By looking at the addressing structures, you can see that even with a Class C address there are a large number of hosts per network. Such a structure is an inefficient use of addresses if each end of a routed link requires a different network number.
Page 156
Although the preceding example uses the entire third octet for a subnet address, note that you are not restricted to octet boundaries in subnetting. To create more network numbers, you need only shift some bits from the host address to the network address. For instance, to partition a Class C network number (192.68.135.0) into two, you shift 1 bit from the host address to the network address.
255.255.255.248 255.255.255.252 255.255.255.254 255.255.255.254 NETGEAR strongly advises that all hosts on a LAN segment use the same netmask for the following reasons: • So that hosts recognize local IP broadcast packets When a device broadcasts to its segment neighbors, it uses a destination address of the local network address with all ones for the host address.
(DHCP) server. The DHCP server stores a list or pool of IP addresses, along with other information (such as gateway and DNS addresses) that it may assign to the other devices on the network. The NETGEAR Model RT328/RH348 router has the capacity to act as a DHCP server. Understanding IP Addresses...
