A-4 Token Ring Network Option

IPX/SPX installations

If your network uses IPX/SPX protocols with Token Ring, conﬁgure at least one

printer, one Fiery Print Server, and one Fiery Print Queue on the NetWare server as

described in “Conﬁguring a NetWare 3.x or 4.x server for printing” on page 5-4. You

can conﬁgure up to eight bindery servers and one NDS tree connection to the Fiery.

This total is the same whether the Fiery is connected by Token Ring, by Ethernet, or

by both. For more information, see “Setting up an NDS connection” on page 5-6.

TCP/IP installations

If your network uses TCP/IP protocols with Token Ring, conﬁgure at least one printer

and one Fiery queue on a Windows NT server (see “Conﬁguring a Windows NT 4.0

server to support the Fiery” on page 5-9), or on a UNIX server (see “Setting up the

Fiery on TCP/IP networks” on page 5-15).

Setting up Token Ring on the Fiery

Token Ring Setup on the Control Panel is similar to Ethernet Setup. From Network

Setup, perform Port Setup, Protocol Setup, and Service Setup. The setups you need are

summarized in the table on page 3-9.

NOTE: Connect the Token Ring cable before doing Fiery Network Setup, so that the

Token Ring card can conﬁgure itself properly.

Setting up NetWare Windows clients

Client setup is exactly the same as for IPX clients using Ethernet. See “Setting up

NetWare Windows clients for printing” on page 5-7 for details.
