2-4 Setting up Network Servers
TO ADD THE FIERY EX2101 TO A TCP/IP NETWORK WITH A
WINDOWS NT 4.0/2000/2003 SERVER
1. 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.
The Windows NT 4.0/2000/2003 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 7-10).
NOTE: If the Fiery EX2101 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 Fiery EX2101 Setup to support TCP/IP printing.
Enter the options in Protocol Setup (IP address of the Fiery EX2101, subnet mask,
and gateway address).
