On power up, the Print Server Card sniffs the network to see if there is NetWare activity.  If there is, it
will use the same frame type and the local network number that it senses.  In addition, if the NIC can
log on to a file server, it will assume that NetWare is normally used and will store this frame type and
new number in NV RAM (NIC memory).  This way, when it comes up again, it will not have to sense
the network, which can use substantial resources.  However, if the NIC cannot attach to a file server,
it will use the sensed values, but will not store them.

If the NIC does not see any NetWare activity, it will use 802.2 or 802.3 as a frame type and will assign
itself a network number of 0.  The frame type and network number being used is reported on the
status and configuration sheet.  If a NIC is being moved from a site that had active NetWare to a site
that does not, the unit should be reset to factory default to clear the frame type and network number
information.
