NetWare Configuration 4-9
4.2 Configuring NetWare 4.x — Bindery Emulation
Novell’s NetWare 4.x can operate in two modes — NetWare Directory Services
(NDS) and Bindery Services Emulation. For Directory Services, see 4.3 Configuring
the EcoLAN 2000E in NetWare Directory Services . These services run simultaneously
and transparently to each other. The EcoLAN 2000E may be configured to operate
with Bindery Services mode only (this section), or to operate under NDS (4.3
Configuring the EcoLAN 2000E in NetWare Directory Services ). When configured
under NDS, the EcoLAN 2000E will also service older file servers operating in
bindery mode.
Note:
If the EcoLAN 2000E is not properly set up for NDS and the Bindery Services
mode is not running, the EcoLAN 2000E can not find its file servers, and the
status page indicates the Novell NetWare protocol is not active.
4.2.1 Confirm Bindery Context
Before installing the EcoLAN 2000E on a Novell NetWare 4.x server in Bindery
Emulation mode, check that the server has a Bindery Context (name for the server
under Bindery Services mode). If the server does not have Bindery Context, it may be
preferable to install in NDS mode. If the EcoLAN 2000E must be installed in the
Bindery Emulation mode, the server must have Bindery Context. Perform the
following steps to confirm the server has Bindery Context:
1.
Go to the 4.x server and at the system console type: load install
2.
Select Maintenance/Selective Install from the menu.
3.
Select NCF Files Options from the menu.
4.
Select Edit AUTOEXEC.NCF from the menu.
5.
Search the file to see if you have a statement similar to the following included:
SET BINDERY CONTEXT=0U=ENG
Where =0U=ENG is an example of a name for the file server context. Use your
own file server context in place of =0U=ENG.
