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 X3 Print Server, and one Fiery X3 Print Queue on the NetWare

server as described in “Fiery X3 on a NetWare 3.x, 4.x, or 5.x network” on page 4-4.

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

Fiery X3. This total is the same whether the Fiery X3 is connected by Token Ring, by

Ethernet, or by both. For more information, see “Setting up an NDS connection” on

page 4-9.

TCP/IP installations

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

and one Fiery X3 queue on a Windows NT server (see “Conﬁguring a

Windows NT 4.0 server to support the Fiery X3” on page 4-12), or on a UNIX server

(see “Fiery X3 on a network with UNIX workstations” on page 4-18).

Setting up Token Ring on the Fiery X3

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

Setup, perform Port Setup, Protocol Setup, and Service Setup.

NOTE: Connect the Token Ring cable before doing Fiery X3 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 4-10 for details.
