Adding devices
In some situations you may want to discover some devices without creating a profile. In these
situations you can use the Add Devices task to discover individual or small groups of devices.
To use the Add Devices task:
1 Select Add Devices from the All Tasks menu, or select MarkVision Æ Device Discovery Æ
Add Devices on the MVP Home screen.
2 Select a specific device or devices from the list of existing devices on the screen, or click Add
to enter a new device address, and then click OK.
3 Click Start to begin the discovery.
You can also select the Exclude tab to select devices from an existing profile that you do not want to
include in the discovery.
Select the Advanced tab to reset additional discovery settings.
Note: You can save any new groups of devices that you establish with the Add Devices
task as a new discovery profile by clicking Save as Profile.
Is IPX supported?
IPX management support
IPX management support is only available for a MarkVision Server running on a Windows NT,
Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows 2003 Server workstation. UNIX Clients can connect to a
Windows-based MarkVision Server to manage printers with the IPX protocol.
IPX protocol support must be installed on the Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, or
Windows 2003 Server workstation. If IPX protocol support is not installed, the IPX option is disabled.
The NetWare protocol for the supported print server must be active to be discovered.
Note: Not all devices are available through IPX support.
IPX printer installation support
The easiest way to configure the print server for NetWare jobs in non-NDPS and non-NEPS
environments is to use the Network Printer Utility for NetWare (Interwin). The Network Printer Utility
(Interwin) automatically creates all the necessary NetWare objects (print queue objects, print server
objects, and printer objects).
Is there any way to speed up device discoveries?
The time MarkVision Professional takes to discover devices varies, depending on the scope of the
discovery. A device discovery spanning multiple subnets (133.122.0.0) requires more time than a
device discovery spanning a single subnet (133.122.123.0).
