1 1-10 Connecting to the Network Connecting network cable to the ColorPASS In this section, the back panel of the ColorPASS is illustrated, followed by information for connecting to the Ethernet board. For information about connecting to a Token Ring network, see Appendix A, “Token Ring Network Option.” ! Shut down the ColorPASS before attaching it to any network device.
1 1-11 Connecting network cable to the ColorPASS Ethernet connection For connecting to Ethernet, the ColorPASS 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 ColorPASS. N OTE : The 100BaseT type supported by the ColorPASS is 100BaseTX, also known as Fast Ethernet.
2 2-1 Chapter 2: Preparing for ColorPASS Setup Levels of access and control To prepare for printing at your site, you need to do some initial ColorPASS configuration, or Setup, to specify the network environment and the kind of printing you will do. Before you perform Setup, you must decide the levels of access you will implement for your site. Administrators and operators must also understand how ColorPASS system software is structured in order to configure and use the ColorPASS system correctly.
2 2-2 Preparing for ColorPASS Setup In addition, you can enable the Printed queue, which is a storage area for the most recent jobs from the Print queue. The Printed queue makes it convenient to reprint those jobs. In Setup, you enable the Printed queue and specify the maximum number of jobs retained in it (see page 3-8). Reprinting jobs in the Printed queue requires the job management tools.
2 2-3 Levels of access and control Passwords You can implement password requirements as a means of controlling access to ColorPASS functions. The ColorPASS allows for the following passwords to be set in Setup: • Administrator—from the Control Panel or the Command WorkStation • Operator—from the Command WorkStation N OTE : By default, no passwords are set on the ColorPASS.
2 2-4 Preparing for ColorPASS Setup Fiery WebTools The ColorPASS can support Internet or intranet access with Fiery WebTools from Windows computers. To enable use of Fiery WebTools, you must do the following in Setup: • Enable TCP/IP. • Set an IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address for the ColorPASS. • Enable Web Services.
2 2-5 Levels of access and control WebLink WebLink provides all users with a link to a pre-set Fiery WebLink destination. To change the WebLink destination, see page 5-17. This function requires the Administrator password, if one has been set. See “Passwords” on page 2-3. N OTE : If no Administrator password has been set, any user can change the WebLink destination, which affects all users. For this reason, it is strongly recommended that you set an Administrator password.
2 2-6 3. Preparing for ColorPASS Setup A designated administrator and a superuser operator Only an administrator can perform Setup, calibration, and other administrator functions, and only an operator or administrator can control jobs from the job management tools. Users can print to all ColorPASS print connections. 4.
2 2-7 ColorPASS system software ColorPASS system software The ColorPASS uses Windows NT Workstation system architecture to receive and process jobs and send job data to the copier. To log in to the ColorPASS, enter Administrator as the user name, and enter the password. N OTE : Configuring and monitoring the Windows NT functions from the ColorPASS require the Advanced Controller Interface option. For more information, contact your authorized service/support technician.
2 2-8 Preparing for ColorPASS Setup Local Setup from the ColorPASS Subsequent Setup can also be performed locally at the ColorPASS using Server Setup, a Windows NT Control Panel. Some of the settings you specify in Server Setup configure the Server process (such as print job defaults) while some configure the Windows NT Workstation environment (such as system date and time). Depending on the settings you change in Server Setup, Windows NT must be restarted before your changes take effect.
2 2-9 About Setup Ensuring the copier connection Complete the following steps before you configure the ColorPASS and the workstations that will print to the ColorPASS. A service technician will have performed some initial installation. TO PREPARE FOR C OLOR PASS CONFIGURATION : 1. Print a copier test page to make sure the copier is functioning normally. 2.

5 5-1 Chapter 5: Setting up Network Servers Support for Fiery utilities This chapter describes environments that typically include one or more network servers—Novell NetWare servers and Windows NT 4.0 servers—that share printing to the ColorPASS. It describes setting up servers that use IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols for communicating with the ColorPASS. In addition, it includes guidelines for setting up direct communication from Windows NT 4.
5 5-2 Setting up Network Servers ColorPASS on a NetWare 5.x network with NDPS The ColorPASS supports printing over a NetWare 5.x network running either the TCP/IP protocols or the IPX protocol. For pure IP printing, the ColorPASS takes advantage of features in NDPS (Novell Distributed Print Services). For IPX printing, the ColorPASS supports the PServer service in Bindery emulation or through NDS (Novell Directory Services). For more information on IPX-based printing, see “ColorPASS on a NetWare 3.
5 5-3 ColorPASS on a NetWare 5.x network with NDPS Configuring a NetWare 5.x server for printing Before you begin The following procedure assumes NDPS has been installed during NetWare 5 installation and that a Broker is running on the server. Unless you have manually unloaded the Broker, it loads and runs when you install NDPS. Make sure you are using the latest NetWare 5.x service pack and Novell Gateway. Finally, create an NDPS Manager. For more information, see your NetWare documentation.
5 5-4 Setting up Network Servers Setting up the ColorPASS on a NetWare 5.x network Depending on the security needs at your organization, you can set up the ColorPASS as a Public Access printer or a Controlled Access printer.

You can check these settings quickly by printing a Configuration page.
A A-1 Appendix A: Token Ring Network Option Token Ring Network Option Token Ring is an alternative network architecture to Ethernet architecture. Token Ring networks offer a high resistance to failure and are commonly used in large or high-traffic network installations. Token Ring networks operate by passing a network token around the electronic equivalent of a ring. The token is a data packet that circulates from one network node to another, controlling access to the network.
A A-2 Token Ring Network Option Back view of the ColorPASS with the Token Ring option installed Token Ring connectors Turn off the ColorPASS before connecting it to any network device. ! N OTE : Do not attach cable to both Token Ring connectors. TO CONNECT CABLE TO THE C OLOR PASS: 1. Turn off the ColorPASS. 2. Connect cable from the Token Ring MAU to the ColorPASS Token Ring card. Configure the NetWare, Windows NT, or UNIX server to print to the ColorPASS (see the next two sections).
A A-3 Token Ring Network Option IPX/SPX installations If your network uses IPX/SPX protocols with Token Ring, configure at least one printer, one ColorPASS Print Server, and one ColorPASS Print Queue on the NetWare server as described in “Configuring a NetWare 3.x or 4.x server for printing” on page 5-7. You can configure up to eight bindery servers and one NDS tree connection to the ColorPASS. This total is the same whether the ColorPASS is connected by Token Ring, by Ethernet, or by both.
