installation strategy with greater understanding of the
consequences of your decisions.
The following guidelines should make you aware of potential
issues, but cannot possibly take the place of your knowledge and
experience in administering your own network. Use them as a
starting point from which to develop your own installation plan.
Notify Users
Whether you are upgrading an existing system or installing a new
one, you want to limit the inconvenience to users. You should
provide advance notification that walk-up functions and network
printing will be disabled temporarily. We also recommend
installing or upgrading your system during non-peak hours to
minimize the impact on network traffic.
Consider Network Protocol Limitations
The following sections outline the various configuration options
the GL-1020 supports as well as any limitations you may
encounter.
GL-1020-Supported Protocols
Protocol
Considerations and Limitations
TCP/IP
• Required to manage the device using TopAccess.
• Required for LPD printing.
• If you will be using DHCP for IP address acquisition, which
may assign different IP addresses to the GL-1020, consider set-
ting up WINS servers for host name resolution.
• Running the GL-1020 as a print server in a Novell environ-
ment over IP is not supported. However, you can use the con-
troller as a printer agent if you have set up NDPS printing.
IPX/SPX
• Running the GL-1020 as a print server in a Novell environ-
ment is supported only over IPX/SPX. NetWare 5.x and 6.x
default to TCP/IP.
• The frame type is set to Auto Sense by default. To optimize the
GL-1020 for your network, you may want to set the frame type
yourself, which you can do locally from the copier’s control
panel, or remotely using TopAccess.
