1 1-11 Connecting network cable to the Fiery Connecting network cable to the Fiery In this section, the back panel of the printer is illustrated, followed by information for connecting to the Ethernet port.
1 1-12 Connecting to the Network 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. N OTE : 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.
2 2-1 Fiery on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003/Server 2003 Chapter 2: Setting up Network Servers 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.
2 2-2 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.
2 2-3 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.
2 2-4 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 F IERY TO A TCP/IP NETWORK WITH A W INDOWS NT 4.0/ 2000/S ERVER 2003 SERVER 1. Register the IP address of the Fiery in the host name database used by your system.
2 2-5 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.
2 2-6 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.
2 2-7 Fiery on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003/Server 2003 Configuring Windows computers without a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server If your network does not have a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server, Windows workstations can still print to the Fiery. This method of printing is called Windows, or SMB printing. In this type of network environment, computers running Windows 98/ Me and Windows NT 4.
2 2-8 Setting up Network Servers Fiery on a NetWare network The NetWise™ features built into the Fiery support the following network operating environments: • NetWare—NDS (Novell Directory Services) • Servers running NetWare in bindery emulation mode The term “Netware” is used to refer to Netware 4.x, 5.x, and 6.x. N OTE : Setting up a NetWare environment correctly requires the presence and active cooperation of the Novell network administrator.
2 2-9 Fiery on a NetWare network Tips for experts—IPX networks Setting up the Fiery is similar to setting up any other PostScript printer on the network. The Fiery with IPX connections has the following characteristics: • A minimum connection to the Fiery consists of a NetWare file server, a NetWare print server, and a NetWare queue. • A single directory tree and up to eight bindery servers can be configured simultaneously.
2 2-10 Setting up Network Servers NetWare queue with the _print extension are sent to the Fiery Print queue. While a job is processed and printed, a record of the job is being created. You can access the Job Log containing these records at any time. Configuring a NetWare server for printing The following sections explain how to set up a NetWare file server so networked users can print to the Fiery from their workstations, and the Fiery can obtain print jobs from the NetWare server.
2 2-11 Fiery on a NetWare network Configuring an NDS connection Abbreviations: FS = file server PS = print server PQ = print queue (on the NetWare server) On NDS FS In NETADMIN: Create NDS PQs Create NDS printer and assign PQs Create PS and assign the printer Configure users of the PQs In Setup from Command WorkStation Port Setup Ethernet Setup Protocol Setup IPX/SPX Setup—select frame types Service Setup PServer Setup and NDS Setup Select Root Browse to select PS Specify PQ search root (optional)
2 2-12 Setting up Network Servers Setting up an NDS connection In NDS, all NetWare entities (objects) are organized in a hierarchical tree structure. Objects have a name, properties, and a context that defines the location of the object in the directory tree. For the Fiery, you are mainly concerned with defining a printer, a print server object, and one or more print queue objects. Objects are created in NetWare administrator programs such as PCONSOLE, NETADMIN, or NetWare Administrator.
2 2-13 Fiery on a NetWare network Setting up a NetWare print queue for bindery For NetWare in emulation mode, the NetWare print server and print queue for the Fiery are created and configured from NetWare Print Console (PCONSOLE), a NetWare utility that is stored in the NetWare PUBLIC directory. As with NDS, you can create several NetWare entities on a Novell server, and you can then select them in Network Setup.
2 2-14 Setting up Network Servers Fiery on a NetWare network with NDPS The Fiery supports printing over a NetWare 5.x or later network running either the TCP/IP protocols or the IPX protocol. For pure IP printing, the Fiery takes advantage of features in NDPS (Novell Distributed Print Services). For IPX printing, the Fiery supports the PServer service in Bindery emulation or through NDS (Novell Directory Services). For more information on IPX-based printing, see “Fiery on a NetWare network” on page 2-8.
2 2-15 Fiery on a NetWare network with NDPS Configuring a NetWare server for printing with NDPS Before you begin The following procedure assumes NDPS has been installed during NetWare 5.x or later 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 service pack and Novell gateway. Finally, create an NDPS Manager. For more information, see your NetWare documentation.
2 2-16 Setting up Network Servers TO SET UP THE PRINTER DRIVER FOR W INDOWS 98/M E 1. Log on to the Novell file server as a superuser or Administrator. 2. In the SYS:ndps\resdir\Prndrv\Win98/Me directory, create a directory called Fiery. 3. From the User Software CD, copy the contents of the ENGLISH\INSTALRS\PS_DRVR\WIN_98/Me folder to the Fiery directory.

For Printer Name, enter the name of the Fiery print connection you want users to print to, and click Finish.
2 2-18 Setting up Network Servers Tips for experts—UNIX workstations Setting up the Fiery in a UNIX environment has the same requirements as setting up any printer or new device: • A distinct IP address is required for the Fiery as well as for each workstation on the network. • A name must be selected for the Fiery that goes with the IP address. • The IP address of the Fiery must be registered for the network in a host name database, and also on the Fiery itself.
2 2-19 Fiery on a network with UNIX workstations Setting up the Fiery on TCP/IP networks Every machine (host) on a TCP/IP network, including the Fiery, must have a unique 32-bit internet address (IP address). Contact your network administrator to obtain an address for the Fiery. Workstations on a TCP/IP network can print directly to the Fiery as a remote printer, or can print to a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server or UNIX workstation acting as a print server.
2 2-20 Setting up Network Servers The server should respond with a message such as Reply from ... Some systems will respond with a continuous display of output from the IP address. To stop the output, type Control-C. You can use the ping command at any time. TO PRINT TO THE F IERY • On a UNIX system running SunOS 4.x or other BSD-based variant, use the lpr command to send a job to the Fiery. • On a UNIX system running Solaris 2.
3 3-1 Levels of access and control Chapter 3: Preparing for Fiery Setup To prepare for printing at your site, you must do some initial Fiery 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 Fiery system software is structured in order to configure and use the Fiery system correctly.
3 3-2 Preparing for Fiery 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 can enable the Printed queue and specify the maximum number of jobs retained in the queue (see page 4-6). Reprinting jobs in the Printed queue requires the job management tools.
3 3-3 Levels of access and control Passwords You can implement passwords as a means of controlling access to Fiery functions. The Fiery allows you to set the following passwords in Setup: • Administrator—remotely from Command WorkStation, or locally from the Control Panel • Operator—from Command WorkStation or Fiery WebSetup N OTE : By default, no passwords are set on the Fiery.
3 3-4 Preparing for Fiery Setup WebTools The Fiery supports Internet or intranet access with WebTools from Windows and Mac OS computers. To enable the use of WebTools, you must do the following in Setup: • Enable TCP/IP. • Set an IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address for the Fiery. • Enable Web Services. For more information, see Chapter 6. You can set passwords to control access to WebTools features.
