M204 v5.7.2 Release Notes (Con’t)
• Lucent’s WaveLAN technology is not “line-of-sight” meaning you do
not have to have your network station pointing directly at the M204.
However, there is a maximum range of 800 feet between WaveLAN
nodes and there cannot be any concrete divisions in between.
Novell Configuration
Version 5.7.2 introduces a slight modification to the preferred server fea-
ture under Novell environments helping with file server connections in
larger installations. With version 5.7.2, if there’s more than 32 file servers
in total, the desired file server should be set as a preferred server using
these commands on the M204:
store pserver novell pserver add
fileservername
reset
The M204 will only acknowledge 32 file servers and there’s no guarantee
that the desired file server will be one of these 32 servers. Therefore, the
preferred server setting will guarantee the right server is recognized. To
view which file servers the M204 does acknowledge at a given time,
please use this command on the device:
debug novell fserver
If you have any version prior to 5.7.2, the preferred server feature should
not be used for any reason. If you have more than 32 file servers though or
would like improved file server connections, please upgrade to version
5.7.2. Microplex Technical Support can help you with this.
IPAssign Windows Configuration Tool
Prior to version 5.7.2 of the M204, assigning an IP address to the print
server is accomplished using ARP, RARP, or BOOTP. Most often a man-
ual ARP command is the preferred choices but there can be problems with
some ARP implementations on Windows stations. Therefore, with ver-
sion 5.7.2, Microplex has introduced a new simplified Windows uility,
IPAssign, which helps identify all Microplex products on your network
and temporarily assign IP addresses to them. IPAssign automatically rec-
ognizes BOOTP packets broadcasted on the network by a Microplex
product allowing you to then assign a temporary IP address to it for initial
communications over the network.
To use IPAssign to recognize an M204 on your network, you will need to:
1 Insert the Microplex diskette labeled “IPAssign” into the floppy drive
on your Windows station.
2 Load the File Manager or WinFile and look under the floppy drive for
an IPAssign self-extracting file.
3 Double click on the IPAssign file to launch the install program.
4 When prompted to install, click on YES to load the InstallShield
Wizard.
5 Answer the prompts throughout the wizard.
