Introduction
1-4  ❖   XNIC-ENET/TRING Configuration Guide
The XNIC-ENET
The XNIC-ENET is an Ethernet interface card that plugs 
directly into the printer. Connection to the Ethernet network 
may be made using either Thinnet (10base2) cable (which 
uses a BNC connector), or unshielded twisted-pair 
(UTP/10baseT) cable (which uses an RJ-45 connector). Two 
LEDs on the connection panel are visual indicators of network 
activity.
The XNIC-TRING
The XNIC-TRING is a Token Ring interface card that plugs 
directly into the printer. Connection to the Token Ring 
network may be made using either shielded twisted pair 
(STP) cable (which uses a DB-9 connector), or unshielded 
twisted pair (UTP) cable (which uses an RJ-45 connector).
When your printer is attached to a network with the XNIC, it 
may be used from virtually any computer on the network. If 
more than one system requests a print job at the same time, 
the XNIC ensures that each job is printed in the order that it 
is received at the XNIC. However, the priority that the XNIC 
services print jobs from the different networks can be 
changed.
