Chapter 1: Connecting to the Network

Fiery on 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 Fiery supports the following network protocols:

•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 http protocol is commonly used for Web pages on the Internet and on intranets.

•IPX/SPX (Novell)

IPX/SPX stands for Internetwork Packet Exchange/Sequenced Packet Exchange.

These protocols (rules that enable computers on a network to communicate with each other) 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. A Token Ring option is also available. This option supports the TCP/IP and IPX/SPX protocols. The Fiery is auto-sensing, and can handle all of these connections simultaneously.

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 Fiery will be installed (near the copier/printer), and attach the cable to the network interface of the Fiery (see page 3-10 for details).

NOTE: If you plan to run Command WorkStation software, you will need to install the software and connect the Command WorkStation computer to the network along with the Fiery. For more information, see the User Software Installation Guide.

•Conﬁguring the network server

When network servers are required, you need to conﬁgure those servers to provide client access to the Fiery as a color 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.

•Administering the Fiery

Monitor and maintain system performance and troubleshoot problems that arise. For details, see Chapter 7 of this manual and the Job Management Guide.

SERVER CONFIGURATION

Network server

Conﬁgure UNIX, Windows NT 4.0, and IPX (Novell) servers to specify Fiery print queues and Fiery users.

No special conﬁguration of AppleShare servers is required.

FIERY SETUP

Fiery

On the Fiery Control Panel, conﬁgure, at a minimum, the Server Setup, Network Setup, and Printer Setup. After the initial Setup, you can conﬁgure the remaining Setups from the Control Panel or Command WorkStation.

CLIENT SETUP

UNIX

Mac OS

Windows

At each computer from which users print to the Fiery:

•Install the appropriate printer ﬁles and connect to one or more queues.

•Install Fiery utilities and an Internet browser for those computers that will use them.

•Verify the Fiery in the list of printers and run a test print.

11-4 Connecting to the Network

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.

A Token Ring card is required for connection to a Token Ring network. For more information, see Appendix A.

NOTE: The IPX/SPX and TCP/IP functionality outlined in this section is available on both Ethernet and Token Ring networks. AppleTalk is supported on Ethernet only.

The protocols used in these diagrams are indicated as follows:

Ethernet connection

For Ethernet connections, the Fiery supports Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) 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 Fiery.

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 BOARD

•Connect the network cable to the RJ-45 connector on the back of the Fiery.

You must use a Category 5 unshielded twisted pair cable network cable for 100BaseT.

Token Ring connection

For Token Ring connections, the Fiery supports Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cabling with an RJ-45 connector and Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) with a DB-9 connector.

If the Token Ring option is installed, you cannot enable both Ethernet and Token Ring simultaneously. For more information, see Appendix A.

TO CONNECT TO THE TOKEN RING BOARD

•Connect the network cable to the proper connector on the back of the Fiery.

Chapter 2: Setting up Network Servers

This chapter describes environments that typically include one or more network servers—Novell NetWare, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000 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 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, and AppleShare servers, as well as jobs sent directly from Windows NT 4.0 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 environment (see the following section).

If your network is based on Windows NT 4.0, 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

When a Windows NT 4.0 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 NT 4.0/2000 clients. Client computers print to the Fiery by printing to the Windows NT 4.0 print server. You can then monitor and control printing at the Windows NT 4.0 server computer.

With TCP/IP protocols loaded, you can run Fiery utilities and Fiery WebTools from a Windows NT 4.0/2000 or Windows 9x/Me/XP computer.

The Windows NT 4.0 server can also use AppleTalk protocols to print to the Fiery as an alternative to TCP/IP.

NOTE: When you create a printer to share with AppleTalk users, do not “capture” the printer. Capturing the printer forces all users to print to the server, rather than directly to the printer. If you capture the printer, Fiery print connections will not appear in the Mac OS Chooser.

22-2 Setting up Network Servers

Tips for experts—Windows NT 4.0 with TCP/IP

Setting up printing from Windows NT 4.0 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 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.

You can enter these addresses manually or use DHCP, RARP, or BOOTP protocols to assign them dynamically.

•Make sure the Fiery name and address are listed in a domain name server (DNS) or hosts 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 NT 4.0, install the appropriate printer driver ﬁles on the Windows NT 4.0 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

Conﬁguring a Windows NT 4.0 server to communicate with the Fiery

To conﬁgure a Windows NT 4.0 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 database used by your system (see page 2-4).

•Perform Fiery Setup.

•On the Windows NT 4.0 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 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, Windows NT 4.0 clients, and Windows 2000 clients, follow the procedures in this section. If the network also includes UNIX workstations, also see the procedures on page 2-18.

TO ADD THE FIERY TO A TCP/IP NETWORK WITH A WINDOWS NT 4.0 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 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 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 page 7-9).

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

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 Server, Windows NT 4.0 Workstation, or Windows 2000 Professional computer, 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 print server computer, do so now, following the instructions in 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 an NT 4.0 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 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 server

Each client of a Windows NT 4.0 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 Server, Windows NT 4.0 Workstation, or Windows 2000 Professional computer. In that case, the client does not have to use the same network protocol to connect to the Windows NT 4.0 server as the server uses to communicate with the Fiery.

TO CONNECT AND PRINT TO THE FIERY SHARED BY A

WINDOWS NT 4.0 SERVER

•For Windows 9x/Me/2000 clients: Before printing, double-click the Windows NT 4.0 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 the User Software Installation Guide.

•For Windows NT 4.0 Workstation clients: 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 unavailable for changing. When a client chooses Print, the job is transmitted to the Windows NT 4.0 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 print server.
