Using the Operation Panel 2-69
NetWare (NetWare setting)
NetWare is a PC-based network operating system specifically for servers.
NetWare is a client-server system that operates by installing the NetWare
OS on the server and dedicated client modules (NetWare clients) on the
client machines (running MS-DOS, OS/2, Windows, etc.). The basic
network layer protocol used is NetWare's own IPX (Internetwork Packet
eXchange)/SPX (Sequenced Packet eXchange), but the system also
supports TCP/IP.
The feature of the NetWare OS is that it is specifically for servers, unlike
general-purpose operating systems such as Windows NT and UNIX.
Only the minimum required for server operation can be performed from
the NetWare OS console on the server. Server and file management is
basically carried out using management tools from the clients. Also, all
drivers and protocol stacks are in the form of modules called NetWare
Loadable Modules (NLMs), and the ability of NLMs to load and unload
flexibly and dynamically is a major advantage of this system.
The default setting is On.
