Congratulations on using the Xerox Network Interface Card

(XNIC) to connect your Xerox DocuPrint 4517 and/or 4520,

4510, and 4505 laser printers to your network environment.

This guide describes the XNIC-ENET and XNIC-TRING

and tells you how to configure either one on your network for

remote printing.

It is not the purpose of this guide to provide instruction in the

general design, configuration, and use of local area networks.

Use of this guide requires a working knowledge of networks

and is therefore intended primarily for network

administrators.

This guide uses the following typographical conventions:

 Text that is displayed on the screen is presented in

bold typeface, in English only. For example, node_name.

 Keywords that you enter via the keyboard are presented

computer typeface. For example, define

server.

 Variables that you enter via the keyboard are presented

in italic typeface. For example, fileserver.

 Function keys are shown in brackets. For example,

<Esc> represents the Escape key and <Ctrl> represents

the Control key.

 Names of pull down screens and menus are capitalized

and printed in a bold typeface. For example, Available Options menu

 Throughout this document, XNIC pertains to both

XNIC-ENET and XNIC-TRING. We have included

examples for both Ethernet and Token Ring users.

Chapter 1: Introduction ❖ 1-3

Introduction

The XNIC-ENET

The XNIC-TRING

The XNIC-ENET is an Ethernet interface card that plugs

directly into the printer. Connection to the Ethernet network

may be made using either Thinnet (10base2) cable (which

uses a BNC connector), or unshielded twisted-pair

(UTP/10baseT) cable (which uses an RJ-45 connector). Two

LEDs on the connection panel are visual indicators of network

activity.

The XNIC-TRING is a Token Ring interface card that plugs

directly into the printer. Connection to the Token Ring

network may be made using either shielded twisted pair

(STP) cable (which uses a DB-9 connector), or unshielded

twisted pair (UTP) cable (which uses an RJ-45 connector).

When your printer is attached to a network with the XNIC, it

may be used from virtually any computer on the network. If

more than one system requests a print job at the same time,

the XNIC ensures that each job is printed in the order that it

is received at the XNIC. However, the priority that the XNIC

services print jobs from the different networks can be

changed.

1-4 ❖ XNIC-ENET/TRING Configuration Guide

Overview

The XNIC can currently be used with these popular

operating systems and protocols:

Table 1.1 XNIC Operating Systems and Protocols

Network Operating System Protocol

Novell NetWare IPX/SPX, TES

UNIX TCP/IP, LPD, Telnet

AppleTalk EtherTalk, TokenTalk

VAX/VMS (XNIC-ENET only) DECnet LAT

Microsoft LAN Manager TCP/IP, LPD, NetBIOS

IBM LAN Server TCP/IP, LPD, NetBIOS

Microsoft Windows NT TCP/IP, LPD, NetBIOS

The procedures described in this manual are the most

common and direct approaches for each task. Because many

networks have local modifications or run third-party print

control software, the proper procedures for your specific

network may differ. Also, some of the procedures in this

manual may require the expertise and access privileges of a

system administrator.
