5-10 Setting up Network Servers
Adding the Fiery to the TCP/IP network
If your TCP/IP network consists of Windows NT 4.0 servers and Windows NT 4.0
clients, use the directions in this section. If the network also includes UNIX
workstations, also refer to the directions on page 5-15.
TO ADD THE FIERY TO A TCP/IP NETWORK WITH A WINDOWS NT 4.0
SERVER:
1. Register the IP address of the Fiery in the host name database used by your system.
For installations that don’t have a network administrator or a central host name
database, add the Fiery to the hosts file on the Windows NT 4.0 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 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 page 3-48).
NOTE: If the Fiery has already been defined in an /etc/hosts file or equivalent host
name database on a UNIX workstation on your network, it is recommended 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 Setup to support TCP/IP printing.
Enter the options in Protocol Setup (IP address of the Fiery, Subnet mask, and
Gateway address).
