Microsoft Network Configuration
(NetBEUI or NetBIOS IP with
Windows 95/98/NT/2000)
TROY print servers that support the NetBEUI and NetBIOS IP
protocols are recommended for setup on a Microsoft network. These
print servers also support the SMB protocol, therefore they
automatically appear in the Windows Network Neighborhood and
can be managed using standard operating system utilities.
Note
:
The workstation will automatically use NetBIOS IP if TCP/IP is
enabled on it. It will use NetBEUI only if TCP/IP is not available.
Setting the IP Address (not required if using NetBEUI)
If you plan to use NetBIOS IP protocol, you must first configure an IP
address into your print server. The procedures for doing this are described
in Chapter 4. If you are using the NetBEUI protocol, you do not need to
have an IP address.
Print Server Configuration
1. Determine the domain that the print server resides on.
2. Run XAdmin32 (see chapter 3) and select the print server to be configured.
3. Select
the
NetBIOS
tab, and enter the domain name.
NOTE:
By default, Microsoft networks use the domain name
WORKGROUP, so if no specific domain name has been defined for this
network the name WORKGROUP can be used.
