2-4 Setting up Network Servers
TO ADD THE EX7750 TO A TCP/IP NETWORK WITH A WINDOWS 2000 SERVER
1. Register the IP address of the EX7750 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 EX7750 to the hosts file on the Windows 2000 server. Also add
it to the hosts file on any workstations that have TCP/IP loaded and will use the
Fiery utilities.
The Windows 2000 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 “Printing a Configuration page from the Control Panel” on page 7-17).
NOTE: If the EX7750 has already been defined in an /etc/hosts file or equivalent host
name database on a UNIX workstation on your network, we recommend that you use
the same host name here as you used for the name of the remote printer in the
/etc/printcap file.
2. Perform EX7750 Setup to support TCP/IP printing.
Enter the options in Protocol Setup (IP address of the EX7750, subnet mask, and
gateway address).
