NDPS Gateway In order for non NDPS-aware printers, such as the
GL-1010, to operate within the NDPS model, a proprietary “gateway”
must be installed and configured on the network. The Toshiba NDPS
Gateway is distributed on the e-STUDIO GL-1010 Admin’s Client CD-
ROM.
NDS NetWare Directory Service. NDS maintains a hierarchical database of
information about the network resources within a global enterprise,
including networks, users, subgroups, servers, volumes and printers.
Unlike the bindery, which was the directory service in NetWare 3.x, NDS
users log onto the network as a whole, not a specific server, and NDS
determines their access rights.
NDS Context The container or organizational unit that contains the print server object.
Print queue and device objects can be located anywhere within the NDS
tree, but the HP JetDirect print server needs to be configured to use the
fully-qualified print server object name. Select this text box and type the
NDS context.
NDS Tree Name Refers to the name of the organizational tree used by your network. This
name is normally found in the Net.cfg file located with your MS-DOS
Vlm.exe program or from within the Nwuser.exe program that runs under
Windows. Click the down-arrow in this box and select the appropriate
tree name.
NetBEUI NetBIOS Enhanced User Interface. Pronounced “net-booey,” it is an
enhanced version of the NetBIOS protocol used by network operating
systems such as LAN Manager, LAN Server, Windows for Workgroups,
Windows 95, 98, 2000, ME and Windows NT. It formalizes the transport
frame that was never standardized in NetBIOS and adds additional
functions.
NetWare A network operating system from Novell based on a client/server
architecture. Clients log onto one or more file servers, which provide
network services such as Email, printing, and storage.
Network Printing Printing from a Windows, Macintosh, or Unix client workstation to the
GL-1010, with the output produced on the connected Toshiba digital
copier.
NFS Network File System. A Unix networking protocol that allows files and
printers to be shared across the network.
NIC Network Interface Card. A printed circuit board that is installed in both
client (personal computers or workstations) and server machines to
control the exchange of data between them.
