NETWORK CARD SOFTWARE CONFIGUIRATIONAfter loading the print server software, follow all the software loading instructions in this section starting on page 5-20 for network card software configuration instructions.

INSTALLATION PROCESS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

The print server software will be pre-installed when a print server is delivered to a site. When a print server is delivered to a customer site, the field technician is responsible for configuring the print server with the appropriate TCP/IP addressing (see print server configuration starting on page 5-19).



Print Server Software Installation

· You will need one high-density formatted diskette to save the Print Server Configuration. Check to make sure the disk is available before beginning the installation.

· If the Print Server Software has been pre-loaded by make ready, then the PC will boot up to the Configuration Utility menu screen. Skip to print server configuration starting on page 5-21 and enter the configuration data.

· To Begin, INSERT the Print Server Setup Diskette into the A: drive of the Print Server and SOFTBOOT the machine (CTRL+ALT+DEL).

Wait while the installation program is loaded.

Wait while the program checks the hard disk.

NETWORK CARD SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION

The TCP/IP print server software is written to work specifically on a Microchannel (MCA) Token Ring PC. In order to use the print server software on an ISA Bus PC (Token Ring or Ethernet) or an MCA Ethernet PC, the correct network card drivers and configuration files must be loaded.

TCP/IP PRINT SERVER NETWORK CARD SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION DISKETTE

The TCP/IP Print Server Network Card Software Configuration Diskette will deliver the appropriate drivers and configuration files for an ISA BUS (Token Ring or Ethernet) or an MCA Ethernet print server. Use the following procedure to load the appropriate software from the diskette:

1. Insert the TCP/IP Print Server Network Card Software Configuration diskette in the A: of the print server and softboot the print server.

2. When the menu displays, choose the appropriate item and press ENTER.

3. If the print server is an NCR 3325 with a monochrome monitor, softboot the print server. Press F5 when the message “Starting MS-DOS” displays. At the C:\> prompt type EDIT AUTOEXEC.BAT and press ENTER. Add MODE MONO after the line PROMPT $P$G. Save the file and exit (ALT F, X, Y).

If the print server is an Intel Advanced MN, softboot the print server. Press F5 when the message “Starting MS-DOS” displays. At the C:\> prompt, type ATTRIB CONFIG.SYS –R and press ENTER. Type EDIT CONFIG.SYS and press ENTER. Find the following statement:

“DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE X=D000-D1FF”

Delete “X=D000-D1FF” from the statement.

Press ALT F, X and press ENTER to save the changes.

Type ATTRIB CONFIG.SYS +R and press ENTER.

4. Softboot the print server and continue onto Print Server Configuration on page 5-21.
