Confirming Bindery Context With Novell Netware 4.0 - Black Box LE3840A Manual

ETHERNET PRINT SERVERS HIGH SPEED AND 4-PORT
If the Print Server is connected to a NetWare 4.0 server and you suspect
that Bindery Services mode is not running, the Print Server will confirm
that condition by producing a status page stating no active file servers
could be found. The status page, in effect, tells you that you are running
Novell with the Directory Services version of PCONSOLE and must
instead use the Bindery Services version of PCONSOLE.

ONFIRMING
Before the Print Server can be installed on a Novell NetWare 4.0 server,
confirm that the server has a Bindery Context (name for server under Bindery
Services mode). If the server has no Bindery Context, the Novell
administrator must either execute a SET command from the console prompt,
or modify the AUTOEXEC.NCF file to include the proper SET command and
re-start the server.
To confirm the server has a Bindery Context, perform the following steps:
1. Log into the server as ADMIN.
2. At the prompt, perform a DOS TYPE of Z:\SYSTEM\AUTOEXEC.NCF.
3. When the file appears, look for a statement that is similar to:
SET BINDERY CONTEXT=0=Name
How to Use Name
Name is the designation for the Server Context, and can be obtained by
starting PCONSOLE. At the upper left corner of the screen displaying
the Available Options menu, the Context is shown. For example,
0=DIGITAL PROD
4. If you see no such statement in the screen, then you must add that
statement for the Print Server to work. Exit from PCONSOLE and use a
DOS text editor to add the following statement to the AUTOEXEC.NCF
file:
SET BINDERY CONTEXT=0=
DIGITAL_PROD
Print Server High Speed users should go to Step 5 below.
5. Print Server High Speed users: The Print Server does not support
encrypted password. Since you are changing your AUTOEXEC.NCF file,
include the following statement in the AUTOEXEC.NCF file:
SET ALLOW UNENCRYPTED PASSWORDS=ON
