Introduction
xi
This manual is intended for anyone who is responsible for integrating the Fiery into a business environment that includes networked personal computers. After the Fiery and client workstations are set up, individual users can print to the Fiery as a highperformance PostScript printer.
This manual describes how to set up network servers and clients to use the Fiery and how to install user software and set up printing from Microsoft Windows and Apple Mac OS computers. For general information on using your computer, your software, or your network, see the manuals that accompany those products.
NOTE: The term “Fiery” is used in this manual to refer to the Fiery Network Controller for C9800. The name “Aero” is used in illustrations to represent the Fiery. The term “Windows” is used to refer to Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003, wherever appropriate. “Setup” is used to refer to configuring the Fiery for proper performance in your network environment, including settings that affect all jobs. The administrator can perform Setup from the WebSetup and Command WorkStation.
The Fiery includes support for the Fiery WebTools™ and software for Command WorkStation, which allow an operator to manage all jobs sent to the
C9800. Although it may not be the case at all sites, the documentation for this product assumes the presence of an operator who controls and manages jobs sent by users from remote workstations.
Any additional connectivity or administrative features specific to the printer are described in the Printing Guide or the Release Notes.

11-1 Fiery on the network
Chapter 1: Connecting to the Network
This chapter summarizes the stages in setting up the Fiery, and includes diagrams that refer you to other chapters or other manuals for completing your installation. Check those references to find the information you need quickly.
Fiery on the network
When the Fiery is connected to a network, it behaves as a networked PostScript printer. The built-in Ethernet interface on the printer supports the following network protocols (rules that enable computers on a network to communicate with each other):
•AppleTalk
•TCP/IP (the lpd, nbt, and http protocols)
TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. The lpd protocol is the standard TCP/IP printing protocol. The nbt protocol supports Windows (SMB) printing. The port 9100 is the printer server port number to publish print connections between the print server and a remote computer. The http protocol is commonly used for Web pages on the Internet and on intranets. The http protocol also supports IPP printing.
•IPX/SPX (Novell)
IPX/SPX stands for Internetwork Packet Exchange/Sequenced Packet Exchange.
These protocols are supported on Mac OS, Windows, and UNIX platforms and can run concurrently on the same cable. Workstations that use other protocols can print through a server that uses one of the protocols mentioned.
When you add the Fiery to a network, it is assumed that a network administrator has already installed a network cabling system and connected workstations and servers.
11-2 Connecting to the Network
Stages of installation on the network
Installation can be performed by a network or printing administrator. The stages of a successful installation are:
•Physically connecting the Fiery to a functioning network
Prepare a network node for the Fiery—obtain cable, route it to the location where the printer will be installed, and attach the cable to the network interface. For details, see page 3-8.
•Configuring the network server
When network servers are required, you need to configure those servers to provide client access to the Fiery as a PostScript printer. For information on configuring network servers in Windows and UNIX network environments, see Chapter 2.
•Setting up the Fiery
Configure the Fiery for your particular printing and network environment. First read Chapter 2, and then see subsequent chapters for details.
•Preparing client workstations for printing
Install the files needed for printing, install additional user software, and connect the client to the Fiery over the network. These steps are described in the User Software Installation Guide, and some information is also provided in Chapter 2.

Quick path to installation
The diagrams on the following pages show typical systems you can use to print and run Fiery software from remote workstations. Find the page with your preferred platform and network type, and then look up the setup procedures referenced in the “Key to setup” in the upper-left corner of each diagram.
The diagrams describe devices that use the supported networking protocols. They are logical diagrams and are not intended to describe the physical arrangement (topology) of devices on the network. A variety of physical arrangements is possible with each logical arrangement. For example, twisted pair Ethernet networks commonly use a star configuration around a hub, rather than a bus arrangement. The design of physical networks is beyond the scope of this manual.
If your network uses more than one protocol or more than one type of workstation, combine the setups listed for each component of your system. Multiple protocols (shown in the diagrams as parallel lines) can run on the same cable. A solid connection from the Fiery with an arrow indicates that other supported network types can be operational at the same time.
The protocols used in these diagrams are indicated as follows:

Ethernet connection
For Ethernet connections, the Fiery supports cabling, defined as Category 5 for use with 100BaseT; or as Category 3, Category 4, or Category 5 for use with 10BaseT. The cable uses an 8-pin RJ-45 connector that plugs into the RJ-45 socket on the C9800.
NOTE: The 100BaseT type supported by the Fiery is 100BaseTX, also known as Fast Ethernet. If an Ethernet hub is used, it must be a 100BaseTX hub. The term “100BaseT” is used to refer to 100BaseTX.
TO CONNECT TO THE ETHERNET PORT
•Connect the network cable to the RJ-45 connector on the back of the printer.
You must use a Category 5 unshielded twisted pair cable network cable for 100BaseT. Parallel cable connection
The Fiery can accept print jobs from a Windows computer through its high-speed parallel port. This connection is advantageous for portable computers and for workstations on dedicated networks using protocols other than AppleTalk, TCP/IP, or IPX.
The parallel port connection can be active at the same time as the network ports.
NOTE: The parallel port cannot be used to connect the Fiery with Command WorkStation or other Fiery utilities.
TO USE PARALLEL OR USB CABLE
1.With the C9800 and the Windows computer turned off, attach the parallel or USB cable to the parallel or USB port of the printer.
For the location of the parallel and USB ports, see the illustration on page 1-11.
2.Connect the other end of the cable to the parallel or USB port on the Windows computer.
3.Turn on the computer and the C9800.
4.Proceed to Setup.

Chapter 2: Setting up Network Servers
Fiery on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003/Server 2003
This chapter describes environments that typically include one or more network servers—Novell NetWare servers and Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 servers— that share printing to the Fiery. It describes setting up servers that use IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols for communicating with the Fiery. In addition, it includes guidelines for setting up direct communication from Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/ Server 2003 workstations or UNIX workstations, where a network server is optional. This chapter also outlines the requirements for users to print to the Fiery and run Fiery utilities and Fiery WebTools.
The Fiery can accept jobs concurrently from NetWare, Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003, and AppleShare servers, as well as jobs sent directly from Windows or UNIX workstations. Because AppleShare servers require no special configuration, they are not discussed in this chapter, except for use in a Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 environment (see “Fiery on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/ Server 2003/Server 2003” in the following section).
If your network is based on Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003, proceed to the following section. For information on UNIX workstations, proceed to page 2-17.
Fiery on a TCP/IP network with
Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003/Server 2003
When a Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 computer is configured to connect to the Fiery using TCP/IP, it can print directly to the Fiery. If the computer shares the printer over the network, it is acting as a print server to Windows clients. Client computers print to the Fiery by printing to the Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 print server. You can then monitor and control printing at the Windows NT 4.0/ 2000/Server 2003 server computer.
22-2 Setting up Network Servers
Typical system combinations are:
•Print server running Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 Server; clients running Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 Workstation and Windows 98/Me
•Print server running Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 Workstation and clients running Windows 98/Me
With TCP/IP protocols loaded, you can run Fiery utilities and Fiery WebTools from a Windows computer.
Tips for experts—Windows with TCP/IP
Setting up printing from Windows using TCP/IP protocols is similar to setting up UNIX workstations with TCP/IP. When TCP/IP network connections are made from Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 workstations, note the following:
•Make sure you have a valid IP address for the Fiery and any workstations that will print to it or run the Fiery utilities.
•In Fiery Setup, enable TCP/IP and enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address for the Fiery.
Enter these addresses manually or use DHCP or BOOTP protocols to assign them dynamically.
•Make sure the Fiery name and address are listed in a domain name server (DNS) or host name database used by your system.
•Make sure the system host table includes the correct internal name for the Fiery as a remote printer.
For more information, see page 2-18.
•For Windows, install the appropriate printer driver files on the Windows NT 4.0/2000/ Server 2003 server.
For more information, see the User Software Installation Guide.
•Repeat the installation for all users who print to the Fiery.
Each server and workstation running the Fiery utilities with TCP/IP also needs the TCP/IP protocol and the Fiery utility software.
22-3 Fiery on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003/Server 2003
Configuring a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server to communicate with the Fiery
To configure a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server to communicate with the Fiery, follow these general steps. More detail is provided in subsequent sections in this chapter and in your Microsoft documentation.
•Load the TCP/IP network protocol on the server and configure it with an IP address, subnet mask, and gateway.
•Enter the host name of the Fiery in the host name database used by your system (see page 2-4).
•Perform Fiery Setup.
•On the Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server, create a printer for each Fiery print connection, install the appropriate printer drivers, and (optionally) share the printer on the network (see page 2-5).
•Enter the host name and remote printer name of the Fiery in the printer connection. For more information, see page 2-18.
•If the Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server is also a workstation, install Fiery utilities (see the User Software Installation Guide).
22-4 Setting up Network Servers
Adding the Fiery to the TCP/IP network
If your TCP/IP network consists of Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 servers and Windows clients, follow the procedures in this section. If the network includes UNIX workstations, also see the procedures on page 2-19.
TO ADD THE FIERY TO A TCP/IP NETWORK WITH A WINDOWS NT 4.0/ 2000/SERVER 2003 SERVER
1.Register the IP address of the Fiery in the host name database used by your system.
For installations that do not have a network administrator or central host name database, add the Fiery to the hosts file on the Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server. Also add it to the hosts file on any workstations that have TCP/IP loaded and will use the Fiery utilities.
The Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 hosts file provides compatibility with the UNIX hosts file. The hosts file is used as a local Domain Name Services (DNS) equivalent. It has the same format as the /etc/hosts file on UNIX servers. The format of the hosts entry is:
IP Address<TAB>host name<TAB>#comments where <TAB> indicates that you press the Tab key.
To determine the IP address and server name of your system, print a Configuration page (see page 7-8).
NOTE: If the Fiery has already been defined in an /etc/hosts file or equivalent host name database on a UNIX workstation on your network, we recommend you use the same host name here as you used for the name of the remote printer in the /etc/ printcap file.
2.Perform Fiery Setup to support TCP/IP printing.
Enter the options in Protocol Setup (IP address of the Fiery, subnet mask, and gateway address).
22-5 Fiery on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003/Server 2003
Installing the Fiery as a shared printer
The first step in creating a printer is installing the printer driver files, which give your applications access to printer features. You can use the installation instructions in the User Software Installation Guide for every workstation that will print directly and independently to the Fiery. However, if you are an administrator running a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server or Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 workstation, you can also create a printer and share it with clients on the network. This allows clients who do not have permission to establish an independent network connection to the Fiery to print through the server.
You can specify sharing of the printer during installation of the Fiery printer files. If you have not yet installed the Fiery printer files on the Windows NT 4.0/2000/
Server 2003 print server computer, do so now, following the instructions in Chapter 1 of the User Software Installation Guide. During installation, enter the information necessary to share the Fiery.
If you have already installed the Fiery printer files on the computer you are using as a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 print server, see your Windows documentation for information about sharing the Fiery.
If more than one Fiery print connection is published (for example, if both the Print queue and the Hold queue are published), you may want to create a printer for each print connection, so that you and other users can print to each connection directly. When prompted to specify the printer name, enter a name that indicates the Fiery print connection.
22-6 Setting up Network Servers
Configuring clients of a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server
Each client of a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server is already using a network protocol to communicate with the server. Each client can print to the Fiery if it has been shared by a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server, or Windows NT 4.0/ 2000/XP/Server 2003 computer. In that case, the client does not have to use the same network protocol to connect to the Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server as the server uses to communicate with the Fiery.
TO CONNECT AND PRINT TO THE FIERY SHARED
BY A WINDOWS NT 4.0/2000/SERVER 2003 SERVER
•Windows 98/Me: Before printing, double-click the Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server icon in the Network Neighborhood window, and then double-click the
printer name.
You are prompted to set up the printer. When you choose to set it up, the Add Printer Wizard dialog box appears. Follow the procedures in Chapter 1 of the User Software Installation Guide.
•Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP: Before printing, connect to the print server computer and select the Fiery. Right-click and choose the Open command.
When prompted, click Yes to have Windows set up the printer.
After clients have selected the printer, they can choose it from the Print Setup, Page Setup, or Print dialog box of their application. Clients can change printing options for their own job, but printer properties appear dimmed, and are unavailable for changing. When a client chooses Print, the job is transmitted to the Windows NT 4.0/2000/ Server 2003 print server, and from there to the selected print connection on the Fiery. The job is listed in the Print Manager on the client workstation, and the administrator can track it in the Fiery window in the Print Manager on the Windows NT 4.0/2000/ Server 2003 print server.
