A-3 Token Ring Network Option

IPX/SPX installations

If your network uses IPX/SPX protocols with Token Ring, configure at least one
printer, one Pi6500 Pro Print Server, and one Pi6500 Pro Print Queue on the NetWare
server as described in "Pi6500 Pro on a NetWare 3.x, 4.x, or 5.x network" on page 4-4.
You can configure up to eight bindery servers and one NDS tree connection to the
Pi6500 Pro. This total is the same whether the Pi6500 Pro is connected by Token
Ring, by Ethernet, or by both. For more information, see "Setting up an NDS
connection" on page 4-9.

TCP/IP installations

If your network uses TCP/IP protocols with Token Ring, configure at least one printer
and one Pi6500 Pro queue on a Windows NT server (see "Configuring a
Windows NT 4.0 server to support the Pi6500 Pro" on page 4-12), or on a UNIX
server (see "Pi6500 Pro on a network with UNIX workstations" on page 4-18).

Setting up Token Ring on the Pi6500 Pro

Token Ring Setup on the Control Panel is similar to Ethernet Setup. From Network
Setup, perform Port Setup, Protocol Setup, and Service Setup.
Connect the Token Ring cable before doing Pi6500 Pro Network Setup, so that
N :
OTE
the Token Ring card can configure itself properly.

Setting up NetWare Windows clients

Client setup is exactly the same as for IPX clients using Ethernet. See "Setting up
NetWare Windows clients for printing" on page 4-10 for details.
