1 1-10 Connecting to the Network Connecting network cable to the Fiery In this section, the back panel of the Fiery is illustrated, followed by information for connecting to the Ethernet board. For information about connecting to a Token Ring network, see Appendix A. ! Shut down the Fiery before attaching it to any network device. If the Fiery has just finished processing, wait five seconds after the system reaches the Idle state before using the power switch to turn it off.
1 1-11 Connecting network cable to the Fiery Ethernet connection For Ethernet connections, 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: Setting up Network Servers Fiery on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0 This chapter describes environments that typically include one or more network servers—Novell NetWare, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000 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.
2 2-2 Setting up Network Servers Tips for experts—Windows NT 4.0 with TCP/IP Setting up printing from Windows NT 4.0 using TCP/IP protocols is similar to setting up UNIX workstations with TCP/IP. When TCP/IP network connections are made from Windows NT 4.0 workstations, note the following: • Make sure you have a valid IP address for the Fiery and any workstations that will print to it or run the Fiery utilities.
2 2-3 Fiery on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0 Configuring a Windows NT 4.0 server to communicate with the Fiery To configure a Windows NT 4.0 server to communicate with the Fiery, 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 Adding the Fiery to the TCP/IP network If your TCP/IP network consists of Windows NT 4.0, Windows NT 4.0 clients, and Windows 2000 clients, follow the procedures in this section. If the network also includes UNIX workstations, also see the procedures on page 2-18. TO ADD THE 1. F IERY TO A TCP/IP NETWORK WITH A W INDOWS NT 4.0 SERVER Register the IP address of the Fiery in the host name database used by your system.
2 2-5 Fiery on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0 Installing the Fiery 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. You can use the installation instructions in the User Software Installation Guide for every workstation that will print directly and independently to the Fiery. However, if you are an administrator running a Windows NT 4.0 Server, Windows NT 4.
2 2-6 Setting up Network Servers Configuring clients of a Windows NT 4.0 server Each client of a Windows NT 4.0 server is already using a network protocol to communicate with the server. Each client can print to the Fiery if it has been shared by a Windows NT 4.0 Server, Windows NT 4.0 Workstation, or Windows 2000 Professional computer. In that case, the client does not have to use the same network protocol to connect to the Windows NT 4.0 server as the server uses to communicate with the Fiery.
2 2-7 Fiery on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0 Configuring Windows computers without a Windows NT 4.0 server If your network does not have a Windows NT 4.0 server, Windows 9x/Me/XP and Windows NT 4.0/2000 workstations can still print to the Fiery. This method of printing is called Windows, or SMB, printing. In this type of network environment, computers running Windows 9x/Me/XP and Windows NT 4.
2 2-8 Setting up Network Servers Fiery on a NetWare 4.x or 5.x network The NetWise™ features built into the Fiery support the following network operating environments: • NetWare 4.x or 5.x—NDS (Novell Directory Services) • Servers running NetWare 4.x or 5.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.
2 2-9 Fiery on a NetWare 4.x or 5.x network Tips for experts—IPX networks Setting up the Fiery is similar to setting up any other PostScript printer on the network. The Fiery with IPX connections has the following characteristics: • A minimum connection to the Fiery 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 after you create or remove a queue. 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.
2 2-11 Fiery on a NetWare 4.x or 5.
2 2-12 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 that 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.
2 2-13 Fiery on a NetWare 4.x or 5.x network Setting up a NetWare print queue for bindery For NetWare 4.x in emulation mode, the NetWare print server and print queue for the Fiery are created and configured from NetWare Print Console (PCONSOLE), a NetWare utility that is stored in the NetWare PUBLIC directory. As with NDS, you can create several NetWare entities on a Novell server, and then you can select them in Network Setup (see page 4-26).
2 2-14 Setting up Network Servers Fiery on a NetWare 5.x network with NDPS The Fiery supports printing over a NetWare 5.x network running either the TCP/IP protocols or the IPX protocol. For pure IP printing, the Fiery takes advantage of features in NDPS (Novell Distributed Print Services). For IPX printing, the Fiery supports the PServer service in Bindery emulation or through NDS (Novell Directory Services). For more information on IPX-based printing, see “Fiery on a NetWare 4.x or 5.
2 2-15 Fiery on a NetWare 5.x network with NDPS Configuring a NetWare 5.x server for printing Before you begin The following procedure assumes NDPS has been installed during NetWare 5.x installation and that a Broker is running on the server. Unless you have manually unloaded the Broker, it loads and runs when you install NDPS. Make sure you are using the latest NetWare 5.x service pack and Novell gateway. Finally, create an NDPS Manager. For more information, see your NetWare documentation.
2 2-16 Setting up Network Servers Setting up the Fiery on a NetWare 5.x network Depending on the security needs at your organization, you can set up the Fiery as a Public Access printer or a Controlled Access printer. The following procedure describes setting up a Public Access printer. You can then convert the printer to Controlled Access if necessary. For more information, see your NetWare documentation.

2 2-20 TO Setting up Network Servers PRINT TO THE F IERY • On a UNIX system running SunOS 4.x or other BSD-based variant, use the lpr command to send a job to the Fiery. • On a UNIX system running Solaris 2.x or any System V implementation of UNIX, use the lp command to send a job to the Fiery. • Windows NT 4.0 users with the TCP/IP protocol loaded can send print jobs to the Fiery from their applications or from a command prompt. When Windows NT 4.
3 3-1 Chapter 3: Preparing for Fiery Setup Levels of access and control To prepare for printing at your site, you must 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.
3 3-2 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 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 of the print connections.
3 3-3 Levels of access and control Passwords You can implement passwords as a means of controlling access to Fiery functions. The Fiery allows you to set the following passwords in Setup: • Administrator—from the Control Panel or Command WorkStation (or local Setup, if you have installed the Fiery Advanced Controller Interface) • Operator—from Command WorkStation or Fiery WebSetup N OTE : By default, no passwords are set on the Fiery.
3 3-4 Preparing for Fiery Setup Fiery WebTools The Fiery can support Internet or intranet access with Fiery WebTools from Windows computers. To enable use of Fiery WebTools, you must do the following in Setup: • Enable TCP/IP. • Set an IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address for the Fiery. • Enable Web Services. For more information, see Chapter 6. You can set passwords to control access to Fiery WebTools features.
3 3-5 Levels of access and control WebLink WebLink provides all users with a link to an address on the Internet. To change the WebLink Internet address, see page 6-3. This function requires the Administrator password, if one has been set (see “Passwords” on page 3-3). N OTE : If you do not set the Administrator password, any user can change the WebLink address, which affects all users. For this reason, we strongly recommend that you set an Administrator password.
3 3-6 Preparing for Fiery Setup Control level scenarios Typical scenarios of access and control, ranging from minimum control to maximum 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 : We strongly recommend that you set at least an Administrator password to prevent unauthorized changes to system settings. 1.
3 3-7 5. Fiery system software An administrator and an operator; operator controls all jobs; no Fiery WebTool access (Maximum control) Only an administrator can perform Setup, calibration, and other administrator functions, and only an operator or administrator can control jobs from the job management tools; users can print only to the Hold queue; the administrator and the operator have complete control of job flow; no access to Fiery WebTools.
3 3-8 Preparing for Fiery Setup Resident on the Windows NT Workstation is the following software unique to the Fiery: • Server—The Server is an independent software process started automatically whenever Windows NT is booted. As the central element of Fiery system software, the Server process controls the spooling, rasterizing, and printing of jobs, as well as job accounting (the Job Log), storage, and retrieval.
3 3-9 About Setup Local Setup from the Fiery You can also perform Setup locally at the Fiery, using Server Setup, a Windows NT Control Panel. Some of the settings you specify in Server Setup configure the Server process (such as print job defaults), while some configure the Windows NT Workstation environment (such as system date and time). Depending on the settings you change in Server Setup, you must restart Windows NT 4.0 before your changes take effect.
3 3-10 Preparing for Fiery Setup You must configure the Fiery with the correct Windows NT domain name. This is especially important for Windows printing, also known as SMB printing. For Fiery systems that include the Fiery Advanced Controller Interface, open the Start Menu>Settings>Control Panel>Network>Identification tab, and enter the correct domain name.
4 4-1 Chapter 4: Performing Setup from the Control Panel Fiery Setup from the Control Panel Setup is required the first time the Fiery is turned on after new system software is loaded.

A A-1 Appendix A: Token Ring Network Option Token Ring Network Option Token Ring is an alternative network architecture to the Ethernet architecture. Token Ring networks offer a high resistance to failure and are commonly used in large or high-traffic network installations. Token Ring networks operate by passing a network token around the electronic equivalent of a ring. The token is a data packet that circulates from one network node to another, controlling access to the network.
A A-2 Token Ring Network Option Back view of the Fiery with the Token Ring option installed Token Ring connectors Turn off the Fiery before connecting it to any network device. ! TO N OTE : Do not attach cable to both Token Ring connectors. CONNECT CABLE TO THE F IERY 1. Turn off the Fiery. 2. Connect the cable from the Token Ring MAU to the Fiery Token Ring card.
A A-3 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 4.x server for printing” on page 2-10. 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, Ethernet, or both.
B B-1 Appendix B: Troubleshooting Troubleshooting This chapter provides troubleshooting tips. Troubleshooting the Fiery Startup diagnostics are described in the Installation and Service Guide for service technicians. Contact your authorized service/support center if you see any startup error messages on Command WorkStation or if the Fiery does not reach the Idle state.
