2.3 SETUP FOR VARIOUS NETWORK TYPES
2.3.1 PEER-TO-PEER NETWORK
Windows for Workgroups
There is no guaranteed way to print directly to the NIB port. Amn alternative is to
share a printer connected to an LPT port on a workstation.
NOTE: Net BEUI is not supported.
Windows 95/98
The Peer-to-Peer printing software that is included with the NIB allows Windows
95/98 PC’s to communicate directly with network attached printers. A network
server, such as NetWare or Windows NT, is not required for Peer-to-Peer printing.
The Peer-to-Peer printing software must be installed on each PC that will use Peer-
to-Peer printing. Once the Peer-to-Peer printing Software is installed, all NIBs on
the network automatically appear in the list of available printer ports.
The Peer-to-Peer printing software can also be used in networks where servers are
present; however, often the server printer services are utilized instead. Server
based priint services offer centralized printing management and spooling and do
not require software (other than the printer driver) to be installed on each PC.
The Peer-to-Peer IPX and the Peer-to-Peer IP utilities install redirection to the NIB.
The Peer-to-Peer IPX port appears as “RDP_xxxxx” (xxxxxx is the board’s serial
number) by default.
The Peer-to-Peer IP port appears as “IP Address (10001)”.
Both work as a local port of the host computer.
Windows NT (Workgroup Network)
In addition to Peer-to-Peer IPX and Peer-to-Peer IP printing, Windows NT supports
LPR printing using TCP/IP protocol.
Use the following parameters to set up an LPR port on an NT workstation.
•
Name or address of the server providing lpd: IP Address of the NIB
•
Name of the printer or print queue on that server: PORT1 (uppercase)
After installing a printer connected to the LPR port, share the printer for other
workgroup members.
