1 1-13 Connecting network cable to the Fiery Ethernet connection For connecting to Ethernet, the Fiery 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 Fiery. 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.
2 2-1 Chapter 2: Preparing for Fiery Setup Levels of access and control To prepare for printing at your site, you need to 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.
2 2-2 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 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 Fiery functions. The Fiery allows for the following passwords to be set in Setup: • Administrator—from the Control Panel, the Command WorkStation, or Fiery WebSetup • Operator—from the Command WorkStation or Fiery WebSetup N OTE : By default, no passwords are set on the Fiery.
2 2-4 Preparing for Fiery Setup Fiery WebTools The Fiery can support Internet or intranet access with Fiery WebTools from Windows 95/98, Windows NT 4.0, and Mac OS computers.
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 5-13. 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 Preparing for Fiery Setup Control level scenarios Typical scenarios of access and control, ranging from least control to strictest control, are described in this section. Choose the scenario that best matches your site requirements, and then refer to the corresponding number in the table for guidance on how to configure your system for those requirements. N OTE : It is strongly recommended you set at least an Administrator password to prevent unauthorized changes to system settings. 1.
2 2-7 4. Levels of access and control A designated administrator and a designated operator, no Fiery WebTool access Only an administrator can perform Setup, and only an operator or administrator can perform calibration and control jobs from the job management tools; users can print to the Hold queue and the Print queue, but not to the Direct connection; the operator controls all job flow, but jobs sent to the Print queue may not require operator intervention; no access to Fiery WebTools. 5.
2 2-8 Preparing for Fiery Setup Fiery system software The Fiery uses Windows NT Workstation system architecture to receive and process jobs and send job data to the copier. To log in to the Fiery, enter Administrator as the user name, and enter the password.

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 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.
5 5-2 Setting up Network Servers Fiery on a NetWare 3.x or 4.x network The NetWise™ features built into the Fiery support the following network operating environments: • NetWare 4.x—NDS (Novell Directory Services) • NetWare 3.x—Bindery services • Servers running NetWare 4.x in bindery emulation mode For Ethernet-based networks, the IPX/SPX protocol is supported. For Token Ringbased NetWare networks, both IPX/SPX and TCP/IP are supported.
5 5-3 Support for Fiery utilities Tips for experts—IPX networks Setting up the Fiery is similar to setting up any other PostScript printer on the network. The following information is useful for experienced network administrators. The Fiery with IPX connections has these characteristics: • Both NetWare 3.x and NetWare 4.x are supported directly. NetWare 4.x is also supported through bindery emulation.
5 5-4 Setting up Network Servers There is no need to rerun Setup when adding or removing a NetWare queue; however you should reboot the Fiery after a queue is created or removed. When the Fiery 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.

5 5-6 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 which 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.
5 5-7 Support for Fiery utilities Setting up a NetWare print queue for bindery For NetWare 3.x and for 4.x in emulation, the NetWare print server and print queue for Fiery are created and configured from NetWare Print Console (PCONSOLE), a NetWare utility that is stored in NetWare’s PUBLIC directory. As with NDS, first you create several NetWare entities on a Novell server, then you select them in Network Setup (see page 3-26).
5 5-8 Setting up Network Servers Fiery on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0 When a Windows NT 4.0 computer is configured to connect to the Fiery using TCP/IP, it can print directly to the Fiery. If the computer shares the printer over the network, it is acting as a print server to Windows NT 4.0 clients. Client machines print to the Fiery by printing to the Windows NT 4.0 print server. Printing can then be monitored and controlled at the Windows NT 4.0 server machine.
5 5-9 Support for Fiery utilities • For Windows NT 4.0, install the appropriate printer driver files (PCL or PostScript) on the Windows NT 4.0 server (see Getting Started). • Repeat the installation for everyone who prints to the Fiery. Each server and workstation running the Fiery utilities with TCP/IP also needs the TCP/IP protocol and the Fiery utility software.
