2-8 Setting up Network Servers
EX7750 on a NetWare network
The NetWise features built into the EX7750 support the following network operating
environments:
•NetWare—NDS (Novell Directory Services)
•Servers running NetWare in bindery emulation mode
The term “Netware” is used to refer to Netware 4.x, 5.x, and 6.x.
For Ethernet-based networks, the IPX/SPX protocol is supported.
NOTE: 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 term “bindery server” is used to refer to a Novell file server running NetWare in
bindery emulation mode. The term “NDS” is used to describe components of a
NetWare operating system running NetWare in native mode.
NetWare clients print to the EX7750 through the Novell network server. Server setup
and client network setup are outlined in this chapter, client printing setup is described
in the User Software Installation Guide, and printing is described in the Printing Guide.
The EX7750 can receive print jobs from NetWare servers over Ethernet network
topologies. During EX7750 Setup, you select the frame type or types that will be used
for communication between the EX7750 and network servers. Frame type refers to the
format of a communications packet.
