The cable uses an 8-pin RJ-45 connector that plugs into the RJ-45 socket on the Fiery EX2101. N OTE : The 100BaseT type supported by the Fiery EX2101 is100BaseTX, also known as Fast Ethernet.
2 2-1 Chapter 2: Setting up Network Servers Fiery EX2101 on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/2003 This chapter describes environments that typically include one or more network servers—Novell NetWare servers and Windows NT 4.0/2000/2003 servers—that share printing to the Fiery EX2101. It describes setting up servers that use IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols for communicating with the Fiery EX2101. 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 4.0/2000/2003 server; clients running Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP Workstation and Windows 9x/Me • Print server running Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/2003 Workstation and clients running Windows 9x/Me With TCP/IP protocols loaded, you can run Fiery utilities and Fiery WebTools from a Windows computer.
2 2-3 Fiery EX2101 on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/2003 Configuring a Windows NT 4.0/2000/2003 server to communicate with the Fiery EX2101 To configure a Windows NT 4.0/2000/2003 server to communicate with the Fiery EX2101, 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 T O ADD THE F IERY EX2101 TO A TCP/IP W INDOWS NT 4.0/2000/2003 SERVER 1. NETWORK WITH A Register the IP address of the Fiery EX2101 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 EX2101 to the hosts file on the Windows NT 4.0/2000/2003 server. Also add it to the hosts file on any workstations that have TCP/IP loaded and will use the Fiery utilities.
2 2-5 Fiery EX2101 on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/2003 Installing the Fiery EX2101 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. Use the installation instructions in the User Software Installation Guide for every workstation that will print directly and independently to the Fiery EX2101. However, if you are an administrator running a Windows NT 4.0/2000/2003 server or Windows NT 4.
2 2-6 Setting up Network Servers Configuring clients of a Windows NT 4.0/2000/2003 server Each client of a Windows NT 4.0/2000/2003 server is already using a network protocol to communicate with the server. Each client can print to the Fiery EX2101 if it has been shared by a Windows NT 4.0/2000/2003 server or Windows NT 4.0 /2000/XP/2003 clients. 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 EX2101 on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/2003 Configuring Windows computers without a Windows NT 4.0/2000/2003 server If your network does not have a Windows NT 4.0/2000/2003 server, Windows 9x/Me and Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP workstations can still print to the Fiery EX2101. This method of printing is called Windows, or SMB printing. In this type of network environment, computers running Windows 9x/Me and Windows NT 4.
2 2-8 Setting up Network Servers Fiery EX2101 on a NetWare network The NetWise™ features built into the Fiery EX2101 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. For Ethernet-based networks, the IPX/SPX protocol is supported.
2 2-9 Fiery EX2101 on a NetWare network Tips for experts—IPX networks Setting up the Fiery EX2101 is similar to setting up any other PostScript printer on the network. The Fiery EX2101 with IPX connections has the following characteristics: • A minimum connection to the Fiery EX2101 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 You do not need to rerun Setup when you add or remove a NetWare queue; however, you should restart the Fiery EX2101 after you create or remove a queue. When the Fiery EX2101 is configured to connect to a NetWare server, it polls the NetWare server for jobs in each of its queues. If jobs are found, they are automatically transferred over the network to the matching connection on the Fiery EX2101.
2 2-11 Fiery EX2101 on a NetWare network With bindery services, you can route all Fiery EX2101 print jobs through the same NetWare file server, or you can configure more than one file server to handle Fiery EX2101 jobs. The functions you perform on the Novell server, the Fiery EX2101, and the client workstation are summarized in the following tables. The first table applies to NDS connections, and the second to bindery connections.
2 2-12 Setting up Network Servers Configuring a bindery connection On Bindery FS In PCONSOLE: Select NetWare FS (up to 8) For each FS: Configure PS Configure PQ Configure users of the PQ In Setup from Command WorkStation Port Setup Ethernet Setup Protocol Setup IPX/SPX Setup—select frame types Service Setup PServer Setup and Bindery Setup Add FS (up to 8) Set Polling Interval On client workstation Install user software.
2 2-13 Fiery EX2101 on a NetWare network In order to set up the NetWare server in bindery emulation mode for printing to the Fiery EX2101, the network administrator must do the following: • Determine the Directory Services path to the container in which the print server and the Fiery EX2101 Print queue will be created. The container defines the “bindery context” for your network structure. • Edit the bindery context. • Activate the new bindery context.
2 2-14 Setting up Network Servers • Setting up the Fiery EX2101 as a PostScript printer by installing a PostScript printer driver and the Fiery EX2101 PPD (PostScript printer description). • Adding a network port and connecting the workstation to one or more NetWare queues that have been defined for the Fiery EX2101. • Installing Fiery EX2101 software. For details, see the User Software Installation Guide. Fiery EX2101 on a NetWare network with NDPS The Fiery EX2101 supports printing over a NetWare 5.
2 2-15 Fiery EX2101 on a NetWare network with NDPS Tips for experts—NetWare networks Setting up the Fiery EX2101 in an NDPS environment is similar to setting up any other PostScript printer on the network. When setting up the Fiery EX2101 in such an environment, refer to the following information: • Make sure you have a valid IP address for the Fiery EX2101 and for any workstations that will print to it or run Fiery utilities.
2 2-16 Setting up Network Servers Fiery EX2101 on a network with UNIX workstations When a UNIX workstation is configured with the lpd protocol and connected to the Fiery EX2101 over a TCP/IP network, it can print directly to the Fiery EX2101. Setting up UNIX workstations requires an administrator with root privileges. After the initial configuration, UNIX users simply submit print jobs to a named printer.
2 2-17 Fiery EX2101 on a network with UNIX workstations Important note about the remote printer name Whichever UNIX system you use, the name used for the remote printer (or rp in the /etc/printcap file) in configuring the Fiery EX2101 must be one of the following: print hold The remote printer name is also used when setting up your Windows NT 4.0 /2000/2003 server or Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/2003 workstation to connect to the Fiery EX2101 over TCP/IP.
2 2-18 TO SET UP Setting up Network Servers FIERY EX2101 1. PRINTING ON UNIX SYSTEMS Specify the appropriate settings in Fiery EX2101 Server Setup. To access Fiery EX2101 Setup, see “Accessing Setup options” on page 4-8. 2. Specify the appropriate settings in Fiery EX2101 Network Setup.

2 2-19 TO Fiery EX2101 on a network with UNIX workstations PRINT TO THE F IERY EX2101 • On a UNIX system running Solaris 8, use the lp command to send a job to the Fiery EX2101. • Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP users with the TCP/IP protocol loaded can send print jobs to the Fiery EX2101 from their applications or from a command prompt. When Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP users print from applications, they can set print options with the driver but not from the UNIX command line.
3 3-1 Chapter 3: Preparing for Fiery EX2101 Setup Levels of access and control To prepare for printing at your site, you must do some initial Fiery EX2101 configuration, or Setup, to specify the network environment and the kind of printing you 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 EX2101 system software is structured in order to configure and use the Fiery EX2101 system correctly.
3 3-2 Preparing for Fiery EX2101 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 4-13). Reprinting jobs in the Printed queue requires the job management tools. To use the Fiery utilities and Fiery WebTools, you must enable at least one print connections.
3 3-3 Levels of access and control Passwords You can implement passwords as a means of controlling access to Fiery EX2101 functions.
3 3-4 Preparing for Fiery EX2101 Setup Guest privileges (no password) No password is needed for a user to log in as a Guest from the job management tools. A Guest can view the status of active jobs but cannot make changes to jobs or to the Fiery EX2101 state. Fiery WebTools The Fiery EX2101 can support Internet or intranet access from Windows and Mac OS computers with Fiery WebTools. To enable use of Fiery WebTools, you must do the following in Setup: • Enable TCP/IP.
